Spray painted this again because old paint reacted badly to rust prevention and was cheap, maybe to many thick layers, lack of knowledge.

Lost the chrome bling strip that masked the welding:

Our fiat RV has no afterglow, smoked like a smoker getting ready to quit.
Afterglow seems to reduce 40% smoke, so installed 4 afterglow type glowplugs and pulled a wire.
Funny stuff, nothing else needed, surprised to read the electrical picture and realize this red wire could be it:

The glow-plugs stop glowing when engine runs (1980: alternator or starter swicthed) , disconnect red wire (4, crank wire starter) and they continue glowing for 19 seconds. this is a big improvement:

And some maintenance, new rear shocks. Was worried about fit but seems oke for a lift and plug and play installation.

The old would compress unevenly and also come out different in time (fast against slow)
New drives more firm on the road, did not drive a lot yet but typical something that wears unnoticed.

EDIT: these are worn or broken or just to light, not happy at all because body lean is more than before, checked if swaybar was loose but no, hate this, again a failed repair, they look fine and new.

Another road check passed, good till 2026

This time about nothing to weld and some minor stuff (Lokka clicking is not a dragging brake, one damaged seatbelt can be removed and some damage at the suspension that is hammered back in shape.)

So now, the mother of all tows, I don't think this was legal but drove 180 km to get a machine that helps when stuck.
Not fast but managed between 65 to 95 km/h on highway, no problem at all with the rear lokka.
Trailer is 1000kg, 3500 is legal plus 10%.

Type of crane is:
1970 Argenterio SM700
2 Cylinder Diesel: Motori VM Model 295
also know as Sun 2105 = SUN2105E2.MTP

No info online!, ordered diesel, oil, Hydraulic filter to start maintenance, some stuff from Italy and workshop manual from Canada

Needs one head gasket and Hydraulic pressure is a bit low but filter was collapsed with rubber particle so needs a clean, and oil bath airfilter refilled with 500ml oil.

lot to do but it works:
