IH AA120 4x4 Travelall

HI, I'm trying to work out what year my inter is? Also can anyone shed light on the badge & what the SLR part means? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Adam

I'd guess about 1959. I think the "SLR" you refer to is actually part of the word SERIES.

What kind of motor? the filter looks jap,and the fuel pipes are on the wrong side for a 354.

I will reply in this thread, to keep everything together.

The standard engine was a petrol 6 with one engine mount at the front and the two rear ones on either side of the flywheel housing.

I see in your pics there is a diesel of some sort. Is this no longer in it?

You may find the exact original engine and box a bit hard to find, but a later 6-281 and NP 4 speed will bolt straight in and are fairly plentiful. They were still sold in new trucks until the very late 70's and into much larger trucks, as well.

Wheels are problematic for these. The PCD is 6 on 7 1/4". Besides duals from the same era truck, nothing else really fits. There were a Sunrasia type available at some point, but very rare to find. I've only seen them in pictures. So long as yours are not collapsed around the wheel nuts, they'll be fine.

I see a front axle shaft in the back in the photos. The steering knuckles are a weak point on these. Not a killer, but require close attention. A big - knuckle front axle will fit.

If dollars are not too tight, you can fit later model axles (from another Inter, say a D1310) with 8 stud hubs, giving you a plentiful choice of wheels. The other benefit will be no mods required and it will still be all - Inter.

Jarrod.

On the bright side,the free wheeling hubs look like Warnes,which was a much better hub than a lot of later rubbish like selectros.

That makes sense re SERIES, Thanks. Is there anywhere on the vehicle that has chassis numbers or ID of any sort?

Motor is a jap diesel, isn't mounted & doesn't come with the car. I'm looking for suggestions as to what to put in it!

Yes it is an ex Ambulance, still has the Dickie seat in it & even some old bandages in the storage cupboards.

The chassis number on larger models is on the outside of the left hand chassis rail, at the front, somewhere near the front spring hanger, maybe a bit further forward toward the bumper bar mount, i guess the smaller models are the same? It might be something like AAW120 xxxx. It could have a 3 to 5 digit chassis number either following the model number, or be stamped below it.
I would start looking in an area on the LH chassis rail, in the gap between the front edge of the LHF tyre, and wheelarch, and work your way forward. You will most likely need a wire brush to find it. A poly strip disc works well for this too.
I am really only familiar with larger models though.

what's your budget? Do you want to keep it original/period? Does it have/do you want to keep an original box? It's hard to go past perkins IMO but a toyota engine/gb/tc would give you long term ease and reliability.

Or a detroit just for the thrills :evil:
