I have a 90 model Brumby and have the option of buying a 84 model for parts but I realy am only after the bonet, front guards and doors.
Can anyone please tell me if the above parts off an 84 model will fit my 90 model, Thanks Carl

The bonnet, front Guards and doors are a straight swap.
as is the engine and gearbox, the biggest problem would be the pollution gear. as it got worse with every year after 84.
I have parts from an 83 wagon on my brumby

I am not too sure when it came in but 92's had a cast iron egr supply adaptor bolt to heads at exhaust port - just means a few washers are needed to fill the studs when fitting earlier exhaust if you can't swap studs.
84 is single headlight, 90'd be twin so you'd get some differences in the lights and wiring - nothing too major I wouldn't think

LOL dofyl. Brumbys are almost extinct up here as the metal recyclers are very active.
I bought it but can't pick it up for another week or so cause I need to borrow a car trailer, Me mate has his at Willowbank this weekend.
Should be able to utalise some parts and sell or pass on the rest.

Not a barn find, but a paddock find!

I bet if you put a battery in it and some fresh fuel it would start

Not much but getting it home will cost a day and probably $150.
I realy only bought it for front pannel, Bonnet, doors and ignition barrell.
The tyres are all good so that is a bonus and anything else I can salvage is a bonus.
Yer the battery is RS. The was kept under cover untill January this year when the owner fell off a horse and busted her collar bone and the car hasen't moved since.
Not going to look at the motor until I get it home, do an oil change n stuff like that. I don't want to attemt to start it just incase it has a stuck valve from sitting and busts a pushrod. The water pump could be seized as well from sitting so I will have a carefull look at that.
Once I am happy with the motor, Gbox and Diff I will sell them as it has only done 182,000k's

turn over by hand first, or renew oil even before it gts a chance to circulate!! These engines can sit for years and have no stuck bits , and fire up pretty good after a hibernation

Thanks Yep that is why I am not going to touch it till I get it home.
I have seen an EA81 that had a busted pushrod form a stuck valve, so I am being pretty cautious.
It will be getting an oil change before I even attempt to turn it over by hand. Once I am happy it will get turned over via starter (no ignition)to circulate the new oil through the galeries and establish oil pressure.
We do this in a Rotax 912ULS after an oil change, so I thought I would apply the same principal to the O'l EA81, just to be safe.
