Have fun, as if you have to be told to have fun Don't forget to grab some Berocca's for the morning after Paul

There you all go, happy birthday to you all over there Just got off the FaceTime thingy to a fella in Connecticut wishing him a happy 4th July Paul

Bob, I don't make plans, haven't for near on 30 years Just leads to disappointment ha ha ha Paul

No help here, we don't use these type of boxes when the steering wheel is on the correct side Well, at least I have never seen one Paul

It sounds t like the rack isn't shifting far enough I would expect if the intercooler had a air leak it would be making lots of smoke underload I would be looking for something obvious like the injector pump isn't getting pushed around far enough when the foots to the floor It sounds like something is preventing this from happening Paul

AllI can say is, they have more loose change under the cushions than do Crazy money for what it is, but if it is what you want then why not It's not restored by any stretch of the imagination, it's pretty customized I guess it might be resto modded or maybe just customized Paul

Just spotted th i s on Facelessbook Ray Mcnae post Here's a one of two made RM800RSX delivered 1984 allied coalfield carts Stine out of the wash plant didn't see the other one maybe died featured in the bulldog bulletin at the time still working today ipswitch qld

We had the Chamberlain Super 60 then the super 70 and finally Super 90 with the 3-71 Paul

The other thing to consider is bump steer So the link between your pitman arm on the steering boxes and arm I circled kin the redish orange colour in the top photo needs to be level when the truck is at ride height If it isn't, when you drive through a hole or dip on the road the truck will wander across the road height difference is lengthened and shortened Bump steer is pretty important, probably more important than Ackerman as Ackerman only effects the steering on tight turns and has no effect when cruising along down the highway Bump steer has a big effect at speed Caster angle is easily corrected with wedges on leaf springs, so it's no big drama Paul

I gather this arm is the one your talking about I don't think these can be switched from side to side, the key ways will be all wrong amd ass about And this bit is upside down ? Is this correct As far as Ackerman angles and how important it is, well it wont effect you much when your driving add speed, only when really turning sharp, the tyres will try and peel off the rims if wheel base is vastly different Good news is, these two arms have effect on the Ackerman angle, wrong arms for that The two short arms with the blue arrows are the two that effect Ackerman angle Paul

So I gather if my translation is correct There was a blockage in a oil gallery ? Paul

Yes, they were pretty basic but sold like hot cakes Just imagine how bad the opposition were for these to be regarded as fantastic The tilt ACCO was a game changer until the cheaper and better built Japanese trucks arrived The tilt cab ACCOs still sold like hot cakes well into the 90's Paul

Was on Facelessbook the other day and noticed a post of a bloke who's dad worked as a designer for IH Lot's of concept drawings of IH trucks Anyway two that stood out to me and I reckon the Australian ACCO tilt cab models were based on these concepts This fella Troy Gaskins shared these and many more on a Facelessbook page Robert was Troys father Troys post All done in the 60 's.....Cheif stylist Robert Gaskins first drawing is the tilt cab grill, bumber bar and mirrors and so on from the ACCO A series And this shetch is the tilt cab truck, just goota add the grill and bumber bars a mirrors And the Australian ACCO tilt cab A series sold in their thousands Paul

That's the way I tackle stuff, jump in boots and all Good see you back at it Paul

Wont tjis br only accurate to the width of the magnetic strip ? I don't know anything about this at all, but from what I can see above it reads off a bit of magnet that must stuck onto the crank by the looks So I'm thinking it must read as the magnet passes, the longer the magnet it is the less accurate the spot is ? Would this be correct ? Also if this is correct, the bigger the diameter the magnet is stuck to the more accurate it will be ? So I'm thinking the flywheel may be the spot to measure from Paul

Yeah I got not a lot of wisdom to add here Lucky you had some ice handy Paul

Have a great one Navypoppop 🥳🍻 Paul

Hand throttles in Jap trucks are like that My Mack uses a the same style as the stop cable, it holds any speed I push it to and within 100 rpm And idle I think is around 600, might be 650 I was readimg tonight that parts of the U.S. are struggling to get hay and the like done this year, the rain just want bugger off for long enough to get it done Paul

Sounds like good news and all is running well Paul

Well the FWD was caught by the Boston trucker, dunno if he new what he was hanging about Paul

The Ranger and Everest are the best sellers in Australia by a long way, that's gotta say something Paul

Phew, close call on spilt beer FFS , this shit is getting real ha ha ha ha Paul

Yeah your probably right But I reckon we can bull shit with the best of them ha ha ha ha Paul

I think it would have to have at the very least 3 clamps and most likely 4 clamps to get everything sealed on the intake properly A bit hard to tell with a actual photo Paul

You blokes have left a muddy mess, bloke mowing the grass is gunna be happy with you lot Oh and the video works fine form Australia Paul
