A hole appeared through the #5 piston. My two teen aged sons were returning to Ohio from Southern Indiana where we had spent the weekend snaking logs out with the winch. No one has a clue as to what caused the hole. I never found a missle.

I have read through the pages of this registry and note that many members are looking for answers. I began researching NADA (I was unaware of the category when I purchased the Unit in 1968) in the 2003-2004 period. I have in PDF much information, some of which may no longer be posted on the net. These include, but are not restricted to the NADA Production Records-Date of Manufacture, Color, Selling Dealer; a 120 page Thread discussing NADA and other models, created in 1993; and "A History of Land Rover." I'll be happy to attach any of the above to an email. I will also be happy to provide a list of the other archives I have.
Years ago I read a discussion regarding installing a V-8, or any other significantly more powerful engine in a NADA Drive Train. The exchange was between what appeared to be two very experienced Land Rover Mechanics. Their recommendation was "DON'T"! They agreed with each other that the Drive Train was not designed to be hooked up to a high powered engine. A quote that has stuck with me over the years went something like this: "Land Rovers are about Gearing, not Horsepower." patrickfoley1
I've looked at my copy of Land Rovers Production Records. They show an uncertainty as to the date Production started, but Production ended 7 January 1968 (It appears that Units took anywhere from 5 to 11 plus days in Production. Color was Limestone. It was Dispatched to Mr. J. Hollins, Ottawa. You may have already found this information in the 14 months since your posting. If not I hope this helps you.

Thank you for all the technical build details, wonderful addition to the registry.
Yes, I will design a registry logo for you . Should be soon, busy at the moment.
Mine has the PTO 621, and hopefully it will be restored as part of the complete rebuild. I have picked up bits and pieces over the past 5 years at auction. Hopefully I'll have the necessary spares to make the rebuild possible. patrickfoley1
