Last trip out has two disasters, I filled the engine with water and blew the clutch.
I drained 10 litre of grey sludge out of the sump and tipped in some fresh oil and that seems OK, I may have hydraulic locked it a bit as it seems a bit down on one cylinder but I have a spare motor if it dies.
The clutch turned out to be completed buggered and it also seems to be an F type coarse spline input shaft so my spare is no good. It has a different spigot bearing with a larger bore to suit the input shaft. The outside diameter of the driven plate is the same on both types.

It gets very wet most times I take it out and it and the clutch rusts onto the flywheel so you have to break it free. Usually you drive off with your foot on the clutch and blip thr throttle and it frees it up. The last time took some pretty aggressive attempts including pressing all three pedals hard at the same time! Oh, it was underwater when it let go as well:o
 
I just can't leave things alone, it would be running again by now but I seem to have found a turbo kit for a 2H and it would be a shame not to use it! I have to get a four speed split case swapped about and than I can fit the pto winch too, if I can get the pto drive out the back for a rear mounted winch...

I've got the engine and box in, the turbo that came with the kit was rooted do I splashed out in a custom td05 hybrid. The boost pipework is like that as it may get a hummer style top mount intercooler at some point.
Plenty of bodgery left to do before it runs as I have to swap 24v bits to 12v. The starter is now part 12v 3B part 24v 2H ;)
