First of all it is important that you keep the brakes adjusted, these are dry discs located in housings above the rear axle. Never think that you are going to get oil-immersed type brakes performance, but they are ample if used sensibly. keep all the linkage rods under the platform oiled and grease the nipples on brake pedels etc, as these love to seize up and eventually bend instead of operating. The same goes for the PTO hand clutch linkage. Here on our dairy farm spreading nitrogen fertilizer is the main culprit of seized linkage. Clutches can wear out quickly if a loader is fitted, or if a "rest the foot on the padel" type operator is on board! Steering can have a bit of play in it, especially power steering, but new bushings at the power steering unit will remove most of this. I presume you have a 10 speed gearbox, 5 forward, 1 reverse and a high and low. With age these can "stick" in gear, if you're swopping gear quickly. Never take the top plate off the gearbox completely when trying to correct this, just loosen all the bolts holding the top down and "stir" the gearlever around (anti-clockwise I think) and the selectors should re-aline themselves. This may sound like a horror story, but these are great little workhorses and you should get years of work out of Follow Ups: Post A Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Re: Re: Leyland 262 Comments: Optional Link URL: Link Title: Optional Image URL: Email Notification: If you check this box, email will be sent to you whenever someone replies to this message.
