Lamborghini R1.40

Thanks for your advice, saracenas. I'll try that tomorrow.

I'm in Spain, by the way (I've updated my member info). I see that you're from EU, too.

You're welcome.
One thing: if you'll face a case that the adjustment wouldn't change anything it could be an issue with a clutch. But I hope everything will be OK.
There are many guys from Europe here. From Spain as well. I remember at least one person.

Thanks. Tomorrow I'll be looking to make the adjustements to my clutch pedal. I'll tell you how it goes.

Possibly so, but they must be very rare. I have lived, travelled and worked on 4 of the 7 continents and never seen one.

Lamborghini got its start making tractors and only started making sports cars in the 60's when Enzo Ferrari pissed off Mr. Lamborghini with a comment about all Lamborghini made was dull farm tractors. That comment fired up Lamborghini to try and upstage Ferrari by building his own sports cars to beat Enzo at his own game. If I'm not mistaken, Lambo's first car was the mid 60's ground breaking Miura. A gorgeous car; but not necessarily the best car of its day for handling and reliability.

Since VW owns Lambo cars now, I suspect Lambo tractors are like Volvo trucks in that they are totally separate from the car company; yet keep the Lambo name for marketing purposes.

 

[CalG]

Lambo does not make these tractors, they just badge and market them.

D-F , SLH (SAME Lambroghini Hurlimann ) etc etc. There have been a lot of names over the years. (Since the mid 90's for this series, I believe) many brands continue. Each with their own color! VERY GOOD LITTLE TRACTORS@! At least the Hurlimann 435 has been good to me.

 

[petergreen]

Thanks for the link, CalG. I used google translator to read the comments.

I've been looking for the manual on the net. I've searched for "solaris service manual", "agrokid service manual", "r1 service manual"... And I've found some sites that demand about $50 for the pdf. I think that Deutz, or Mitshubishi (the engines are Mitsubishi) should provide these for free...

Can you send me the file?

 

[mjncad]

I think that Deutz, or Mitshubishi (the engines are Mitsubishi) should provide these for free...

I like free as much as the next guy; but it costs the manufacturer money to write, diagram, photograph, edit, proofread, publish, catalog, and distribute manuals; so I can't blame them for charging for their intellectual property.

I assume you have eBay in Spain; have you tried them or other European want-ads websites?

 

[petergreen]

Some minor complaints about the machine: some levers appear to be too loose. I would like to check them myself, but without the service manual I'm a little lost.

mjncad: yes, the manuals take some time to write and proofread. No question about that. But it's documentation, and the manufacturer already charges for the product. I don't think that they earn significant money with the manuals. It's annoying to have to pay 50 bucks more just to tigthen some screws...

Anyway... I will talk to a local mechanic. Maybe he can help me...

Today I transported some wood. Here's a picture.

Bought the service manual (agrokid, couldn't find for lamborghini) on Ebay. $9.99 + Shipping.

Slightly different version than what I've read.

That's a good price! There was a site in Australia that had the manuals available for download, but I could not retrieve the site when I goggled again.

If you find any information on adding POWER BEYOND, I'm more than interested. My local dealer was just guessing when he said to tap off the power steering unit.

My Hurlimann Prince is older than your Lambo, and has only a single hydraulic pump. A priority flow divider routes fluid to the PS. A bit of a complication. Your machine has a tandem pump.

How much different are our respective Lambo early history versions?

Well maybe not so different after all, I was remembering what it was that started the spat between them.

It supposedly had to do with a clutch failure on a Ferrari owned by Mr Lamborghini, who was unhappy to discover the clutch was the same one used in his tractors. When Lamborghini asked for a better replacement that led to the comment you mentioned, by Enzo Ferrari, about Lamborghini knowing jack squat about sports cars.

 

[mjncad]

The clutch incident on Lambo's Ferrari is a new one to me; but it sounds plausible. Enzo admitted that he only built road cars to finance his racing habit.

A lot of sports cars had humble beginnings and components in them. Carroll Shelby built the AC Cobra from the body shell and modified chassis of the unremarkable British AC Ace sports car. The original Ford Mustang was a boring Falcon under the skin.

Yeah it sounds good but I wasn't there so who knows.

Wish I had the Hurlimann 435 Service Manual. I would like to know the hydraulic system more accurately.

I can help with AgroKid literature on the contemporary tractors. (SAME Solaris , D-F Agrokid, Lambo R1 and Hurlimann are all made by S.A.M.E /D-F)

Check your private mail

If I'm not mistaken, Lambo's first car was the mid 60's ground breaking Miura. A gorgeous car; but not necessarily the best car of its day for handling and reliability.

There are several stories behind how Enzo pissed off Ferruccio, I don't know which one is true. Most of the stories I have heard revolve around poor clutch performance and poor after the sale service. The bottom line is that Enzo did piss off Ferruccio and Ferruccio did set out to "out Ferrari Ferrari". Using money from his tractor and HVAC companies he started Lamborghini Automobile and did "out Ferrrari Ferrrari" with his first car. That was the 350GT in 1963, followed shortly by the 400GT, the Miura was first displayed at the Geneva auto show in 1966. A few Miura's were delivered in 1966, but real "production" started in 1967. As long as you keep the throttle on in the Miura, it handles very well, back off on the throttle at the wrong time and you have just swapped ends. The Miura scares most people and they don't drive it correctly. Reliability in the Miura is directly related to keeping the maintenance done properly, it was as reliable as any Ferrari of the day, if not more so. Not that that is saying much. The 400GT's were more reliable and easier to work on. I know a guy who bought his 400GT new in 1967 and presently has over 400,000 miles on it. He is heading out on a 2500 mile cruise with it in 2 weeks.

Were you ever able to find that service manual? I have the SAME Solaris 35, which I understand to be the same model....

Cool tractor. I actually looked at one a while back. I too own a Lambo it is awd but won't do what the tractor will do. As for the Lambo vs Ferrari thing, I don't know the specifics but it did has something to do with Ferrari breaking down on Lamborghini and he decided to build his own. The Miura was considered the worlds first super car at the time. The Miura had it's issues too regardless of how well you drive/maintained it. That's always been the thing with Lambo's, great looking cars but it may/may not run though. That pretty much changed when Audi took over management of it. Below is a pic of mine and it drives great and looks even better.
