So I managed to gets the 70 running yesterday. Gave it a service and some fresh diesel. Fired up and started on the first turn. Not bad for something that's been sat for years.
I also drained all of the oils in the axles, gearbox and transfer case. All the oil still looked good except for the rear axle. There seemed to be a fair bit of grease in the oil, but no sign of water.
I managed to pottle about in the workshops car park, shift between low and high just fine. Managed to get up to third on the parking lot and apart from a sloppy gear lever all the changes were smooth without any clunks or grinding.
All in pretty stoked so far.
