G'day all,
Have moved back across the water and wanting to drag the goat with me, however that means removing the asbestos - specifically brake pads and fitting 'clean' replacements.
It seems there is a kit on flea-bay to deal with the primary system, which should save stuffing around with...
Has anyone researched/fitted a brake booster or remote vacuum assist system to the Goat brake system?
Thinking that if the 715 has the same drums, perhaps a jeep J series booster or similar might work.

Sooooo, I may have done something many would consider insane.
No, not relocate to the US, although I have; I bought another M561.
Pics to follow when I’m on a desktop.
But more importantly, who lives on the route between LA and Augusta?
Old girl is getting a solid service and trip prep, but...
Finally found, and pulled the trigger on, an M561 in Oz. working on getting it trucked up from southern pastures for my next R&R...
Anyone know now where I might acquire tractor canvas from, hopefully before the wet season...

Guys and gals,
I'm hoping someone can help me solve a bugbear in my plans to ship a Goat to Australia, it seems my importer is having problems getting US domestic transport quotes for travel from NY to NC.
Anyone got any recommendations or in a position to offer their services?
Thanks

I know a few of the guys here have put a few regular miles on their goats. Any comments on reliability as a daily driver?
Would also appreciate an idea of fuel economy.
Thanks for the wealth of knowledge you all make available for others to access.

Hoping for some guidance.
I am nosing around for an MV outta the states as the particular model is rare as hens teeth in Oz.
Problem is i am noticing quite a few are offroad/farm rigs only, with no title and often no SF97.
Is it possible to get an SF97 if not the original purchaser from...
As we don't get Gearz over here in Oz, did anyone get a copy of the season 4 episode 1 show on the Goat?
Would love to see it, Gearz website only has a teaser.
