  1. from the grain farmers I have spoken to when I was milking cows 1 good year in 5 is what they bank on dry land when they are stripping irrigated wheat the headers (you blokes call them combines ) are crawling along at a snails pace and field bins all up and down the bays and yes very high yeilds like over there on irrigated crops have had a few years were it blows dust nearly every day for six months and the sky is red from around 3 in the afternoon Back from 2002 till 2005 the farmers didnt have enough water for even a chemical fallow was some dry years from 2001 - 2010 and then massive floods to be a farmer gotta have rocks in your head yet Im still farming LOL not real bright hey ??? A lot of the farmers went back to a cultivation fallow didnt help the dust problem but they had little choice But when it rains its like the garden of Eden its beautiful and the colours are so bright of all the crops it almost hurts your eyes driving along the roads enough dribble from me Paul
  2. The pooch is paying attention he's thinking about that rib your gunna cook him and if doesnt get a rib he reckons you wont miss a turkey Wouldnt have thought a Big Bud would help the D 10 much Paul
  3. I go good up until this stage then it all turns to crap for me, I sit back and marvel how people get such good finishes Looking really sharp to me what ever you do dont let me anywhere near it Paul and body work dont go together lol Paul
  4. yeah crazy stuff but the yields must be good to warrant the special machines most wheat growing areas in Australia only yield a ton to the acre on a good year and some years they dont even get there seed back Paul
  5. Came across this today on a Aussie truck forum who said Macks arent tough havent seen this old girl most likely only 300 hp at the most todays drivers wouldnt drive it not enough power Paul
  6. she must be some good soil to even try and farm slopes like that 50 degree would need one leg shorter than the other to walk around the hill you could roll start your crawler tractor on them hills ok if the pilot motor wouldnt run LOL Paul

  9. Hey Raji plenty of middle est and European Macks of this face book site https://www.facebook.com/groups/138377172886828/ Paul
  10. I dont think its called spill timing in the US but it sets the time the injector fires as how far advanced or retarded the injectors are in relation ship to the crank and on some motors if its not right they can be real hard to start when cold and feel low on power when under load so its very important that it is correct I think if you pulled the injector pump and refitted it , it would still be wise to check the timing it would be like pulling a head on a motor and refitting it and not checking the valve clearance to me It doesnt cost anything to do only time gives you good piece of mind that is still correct and once again Glen feel free to put me straight if I have all this wrong Paul
  11. mate if you have never driven in Australia on country roads you will have no idea how bad it is I have seen it this bad plenty of times no joke and I aint pulling your leg Paul
  12. wonder whats under the yellow B models bonnet ( sorry hood ) it has been extended by the looks of it ??? Paul
  13. It is hard to believe that it wasnt that long ago China had Tianamen Square massacre I just Googled it 1989 only seems like yesterday to me, it was only 12 months before that at Expo 88 in Brisbane China announced to the world it wanted to become the world power house and we (the rest of the world sat back and laughed) shows what you can achieve if you all work together I remember watching maybe 60 minutes and they were building power stations at a astronomical rate something 5 times quicker than the western world and all done with bugger all machinery they showed footage of them carrying the cement in cane baskets pouring the footings amazing China really caught us sleeping Sorry way of topic but this truck looks so modern and thats just over 25 years ago WOW Im getting old Paul
  14. Also a tad bit more useless information from the small amount I know about governors its not the springs that need replacing the pivots wear on the fly weights and associated mechanism and all those bits need replacing and then the springs need to be adjusted to suit this may only apply to Caterpillar engines but I reckon theres a good chance the Mack governor will work on the same principle all in all it isnt a simple job and it is easy muck a injector pump if you dont know what your doing plenty have over the years anyway I will shut up other wise you will never get your pump off Hang on one more thing and Glen please correct me if Im wrong these have to be spill timed once the injector pump has been pulled off and if you dont know how to do that someone on here maybe able to talk you thru it when I did mine it was a two person job there maybe a way to do it on your own if it has to be done which I think it will I will shut up now Paul
  15. If your gunna pull the pump the whole pump has to go to the shop a good shop should only fix what is wrong in my opinion if the pump isnt your problem they should be able to tell you that as well with out spending fortune to find out Paul

  21. If I found that I would be looking for a spare day or two and lift the center out and at least see what you can find you look and not find anything wrong may look and find you found it just in time for a bearing or two Either way it wont cost much to have a look and you can at least make a judgement call from that Paul
