Bob thats a add for Castrol oil from ywars gone by
Dunmo if the Castrol brand is in the U.S. but it's fairly well respected in Australia

Bob were the E9's called Econodyne in the U.S. as well
They started as Maxidyne and Thermodyne in Australia and changed years later

Paul, You have the can loaded with the doors facing forward. ls that so you can load/unload it on the trailer? Either unhooking or jacking at an 90* angle? .....Hippy
Thats so I can load thru the front

Clean air, not just from dirt but also from turbulance from the truck moving thru the air
On cab over trucks of this vintage it was worked that the gap between the cab and trailer was under vacuum when traveling fast
This sucked dirt in but also meant the engine was running like it would on high mountain

That weould be the rare exception, not the rule for truck drivers
I think like anywhere in the city or the country most times things go this wrong we probably shouldn't of even been there in the beginning if we had of used common sense

I see. We don't get floods like that here in the area I live. Usually by the rivers if any.
These types of floods might be 20 mile wide and 50 - 60 mile long and shift slowly over hundreds and hundreds of miles, silent and un assuming
Here is video of my mate Goldie stuck a few years in his Kenworth "Brute"
Truck is named "Gold Finger" and is in incredible condition for the country it runs in
Not my video

Would be guessing the water was only inches deep when it got bogged
By the time help arrived it was this deep
Australia is very flat and floods can be many miles wide and often havev no local rain when flooding occurs

9 minutes ago, tjc transport said:i would be more concerned about having 800 liters of water in the fuel tanks
Just undo the bung on the bottom of the tank until water turns to diesel and then put the bung back in
Years ago blokes would build a levy bank arpund the trucks with shovels aetc while they are still flooded in
They would then bail the water out and then slowly work their way back down shoveling the mud out from all the axles etc while waiting for the area to dry out
They were stuck there for up to two weeks waiting and this filled in time
I have a video of my mates tripple roadtrain flooded in, not quite this bad
When I spoke to him he reckons the bearing suppliers liked hime after buying a lot of wheel bearings and seals lol
I'll have to track it down one day

What's going on in that picture ? Looks like that could be a expensive dry out
Yeah could would be dramas in the future, mainly electrical dramas in later life, but what old bucket of bolts doesn't

I've never seen a boom/stick like that before. Must have four pistons on it! Would like to see it working. Nice pictures Paul, glad to see the ol'girl still earning her keep. .....Hippy
Only 3 rams like normal for the boom and dipper, it is all very complicated affair
I think the pins get shifted in the boom when you do heavier work
Hydraulics have come a long way
This is hydraulic over hydraulic so no electronics to give drama
But in pretty poor condition which doesn't help at all

Shifted a Ford H47 CK excavator yesterday and today, had a crook final drive
Was quite the challenge to load, had to winch one side and drive the other good side, a lot of slipping and sliding to get it on
Came off easier
First Ford excavator I have ever seen in the flesh

The old Mrs Mack needs a polish these days, never polished polished a vehicle before
