At 7:40 I thought you were going to show the old low-hi-range-on-the-move trick! Index finger pulling one lever, pinky pulling the other! Ideal for getting going when heavy if you perfect it ..
The humble 2.25L with 7.1 compression will get you there..at its own pace! Mine has a crash 1st and second gear being a IIA ex Australian Army 109 and it makes it just that little bit more entertaining. I run Selecro freewheeling hubs I robbed off a parts vehicle for road use. (Not a standard fitment on military versions)
78a67h Thanks mate ! As you can tell by my amateur filming and editing I'm new to this, but learning fast. To be honest I'm amazed how good they are, on paper they look terrible, in reality they are little tractors. One word, Simplicity. It's what makes them great. Next video being produced now, 4000km towing a 3.5 ton load , 6 days travel ( relax, it's only a 13 min video, not 6 days long..)
Liked watching Old Land Rover reminds me of When I went was young 1980s I pulled a 8 ton trailer with a 1962 LWB with the old Rover 6 like you I was amazed later on in life bought a 1970 2a SWB been using it for 15 years drove it today on soft grass with wide Goodrich tyres as always just made the job easy will never sell it thank you 😀enjoyed watching every journey is a adventure in a old Series Land Rover #buzzofftoxic
Very well done and thanks 😊. Very sad this lovely land-rover 's are no more in manufacture and supply any more 😢 i new generation will never understand it ?unless you have one once? In lifetime 😢😢
@@nakedoffroad8518 Hi, great video. I'm in Melbourne. I'd like to use my Series to tow other Series and I have a few questions about your setup. Can you please email me at marcecameron@gmail.com
You all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any tips you can give me.
@Judah Kaden I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
hi mate it's nice to see a series 3 alive and well in Australia I've got a series 3 1972 which are in the middle of restoring and basically it's the rear bulkheads rotted out and parts of the chassis needs a bit of welding but hey Happy Land Rovering from mark in Cornwall uk
Thanks Mark . After some of our trips its actually surprising our S3 still lives. We are yet to do a desert crossing, cant't wait for that. Australia is the holy grail of challenges. We plan on doing a big one soon , its called the Canning Stock route. 1900km unsupported. we will be carrying 500 litres of fuel on board and doing it as a single vehicle expedition. Why ? simple, everyone tells me I can't do it. Good to hear you are keeping yours alive and getting it ready for the road again.
You may have to measure 0-60 time with a sundial, but the old Series Landrovers are humble little cans of whoopass. Particularly the diesels -- they're incredibly slow but in low range the amount of usable torque they produce is enough to pull over a skyscaper. The V8 Defenders may have more horsepower but they are far, far less anvil-like.
Hello again, I very much would appreciate some more details on the towing system. I understand that the brake force is controlled by the black box on the dash. Apart from applying manually, how is the braking force built up?
Wilson in the 15 years I've owned mine it's covered 270000 miles with only one break down, that was the clutch friction plate exploding. To many haters out there who insist on giving the defender a bad name!
What an advertisement! What an accolade! Love to know how your trip on the Canning went. Presumably you have done it by now? Cheers from a 1988 90 owner in the UK.
What year is Charlie?, I have a 1977 SWB that I drove from the Sunshine Coast to Margaret River in 2015, and back again in 2017, all up around 13,000 klm. Slow going but got me there.

Miki Martins Hey man ! Thanks for watching my videos ! Old Charlie the Land Rover has an original 4 cylinder 2.25 litre petrol engine . It's amazing what that little engine can do
Air Pics NI Charlie's engine and drive line is completely standard. No overdrive or anything thing modified other than hardened valve seats in the engine so I can run unleaded fuel without additives. In these heavy use situations an overdrive wouldn't handle the load, or be used at all to be honest. They are ok in unloaded, light weight highway running , but Charlie is a hard working beast. We will be making a desert crossing video soon, in full expedition gear and loaded with 300 litres of fuel Charlie weighs in at 3 tons
Great video!! Can I ask, how did you strap the defender around the axles? I always thought straps around the axles would be good but the brake lines are in the way.
Your title states bush towing. I was expecting some serious off road towing or recovery and not a 100 yards off of the highway. Other than that I love the old Landy doing what it was built to do.

This is one of the best Landrover videos ever produced. Heaps of fun even when they're working hard.
those old school land rovers are a work horse i love them
Great video - Series 3 Land Rover is still a force to be reckoned with

How to become deaf and break your spine. brilliant. You are a brave man.
That was brilliant. I didn't realise the towing was so good on these old landies.

Love the engine sound of the old 21/4 , Ive owned 110s & 90s for the past 24 years ,
Great video! I have always maintained that the series were the Real Land Rovers.

god that series interior is stunning
Stephen Manchester Just the essentials. Anything more and it becomes the vehicle being towed, not the one doing the towing .

Thanks so much you saved my account!
@Cayson Reign No problem :D
Love your enthusiasm cobber. 'Go the ANZAC spirit'!
Loving it! You don't see many Australian's with Series / Defenders! Keep it up!!
Nice to see real Land rovers.. The NEW "Pretender" is 🚽

Always said the old Landys were better
😎👍👍👍
In most of Europe we use over run brakes. They are passive and self balancing.

I wonder what year Charlie is
Hello... can you point me in the right direction for that braking system? Where to buy or a diagram on how to build/parts needed. Thanks.
I can't hear the L76 gear-box 😀
It's nice to see an Australian who really loves his Land Rovers! What was wrong with the defender?
Wilson in the 15 years I've owned mine it's covered 270000 miles with only one break down, that was the clutch friction plate exploding.
To many haters out there who insist on giving the defender a bad name!
Phil Sharks... I hope Steve doesnt read your comment, cause he's a Kiwi mate ;) . Lol. Still, without the Kiwi's, there would be no ANZAC's!
Land Rover gearboxes always 🍷

curious to know how many years between Charles an the defender
4x4fun oz I'm pretty sure the Defender is a 2000 model , and Charlie is a 76 . Many see the Defender as being old, yet Charlie is 24 years older
I watch you from spain!! I really love all your videos and your land rover!! what engine you have on it??
Miki Martins Hey man ! Thanks for watching my videos ! Old Charlie the Land Rover has an original 4 cylinder 2.25 litre petrol engine . It's amazing what that little engine can do
Have you an overdrive in Charlie?
Air Pics NI Charlie's engine and drive line is completely standard. No overdrive or anything thing modified other than hardened valve seats in the engine so I can run unleaded fuel without additives.

Any truck with hubs can do that
Great video!! Can I ask, how did you strap the defender around the axles? I always thought straps around the axles would be good but the brake lines are in the way.
