Thanks Rob

How would I contact them I'm thinking I need to research this a bit How does a normal 34 camel back ride compared to a inverted camel back Do we have anyone here with actual experience and not just word of mouth on the ride difference's Thanks in advance Paul

What size ass end was the inverted camel back Were would I find more information on them Paul

I have driven past here many times and have never stopped, always say I should abd will I am unsure if I can just call in or if I have to make a appointment to see it Must jump on the phone beforehand and find out one day The R 800 was a bit of everthing and appears to have been built in all shapes and sizes Paul

And just even try to imagine how many other innocent mum and dad businessed he took with him when he went under Paul

Harry if you ar faur dinkum about old yella needing fresh home send me message and you never know, if the price is agreeable I have travelled from one end of this wide brown labd to the other for a toy much bigger and uglier Paul

And one that is RHD I reckon might be pretty good as well Paul

Dunno about not many about Kerang In one street there is 3 R's one F at least 3 CH And I know of another R model anda fella I know fairly well had his series 1 Super liner at Wacol and still has his R model, it just sits now as he has aged a bit but still loves it even though he doesnt drive it A fella at Koondrook has a few R models that are used every day There's still a few around considering the age, a lot of this has to do with the climate as well Paul

Kerang, I dairy farmed there till 2007 so would of been before then Paul

Lovely animals owls Paul

Yes welcome to the forum And yes probably are all a bit nuts but thats what keeps normal lol Paul

It's a shame they didn't make these in 58,000 I don't think the springs even bend on 58's let alone get close to riding like a Cadillac lol Paul

When we sugar cane farmed in North QLD there was feral deer on the island our farm was on We would shoot around 150 a year, chittle deer Never thought of using a mallet Now my boy is grown up and is turning 21 next month I have bought him a 44 Henry as a 21st present Turning is kinda a big deal in Australia Happy times with the kids teaching them real things inlife Cherish these moments as they are over far to quickly Paul

Andrew Kerr name seems to ring a bell Last time I saw it was going thru my old home town with a B double load of sheep on Paul

That's, um , different

How did new sleeper you were making go Vlad I don't recall any up dates for a while, I might have missed them though Paul

What I mean is pretty simple Most times there is a logical explanation for everything I would just wait and see what Pauls response I have been on this forum and another Australian forum for many years and I have noticed we can all get a bit tightly wound at times Some of your comments could be perceived as been a tad abrupt, doesn't mean you cant ask questions or question what people say I reckon all things sort themselves out given time Paul

Well what ever is going on it appears that there is confusion Maybe two trucks left were ordered for the same customer and the customer couldn't take delivery Paul

A lot of the NewZealandacks came RHD from the US As to which plant they cam from I do not know I wrongly assumed that RHD Macks in NZ would all of come from Australia, a lot did and a lot from the US and NZ made their own R and F model's as well Unsure about South Africa and other RHD parts of the world that ran Macks Paul

I would write a letter direct to Mack them selves explaining what has happened No good phoning them, actually use a pen and paper and write it out by hand I would be very surprised if you dont get a positive outcome I would list the name of the people you spoke to at the dealer ship and their response when asking Keep it direct and to the point and factual I have had to do this once in Australia when a dealer just fobbed me off until the warranrty expired and then refused to help Once the factory was involved and telling the dealer what to do it was amazing how quick things changed and minor annoying problems were fixed Paul

I reckon it will use centrifical force to separate the water etc from the fuel Fuel floats on water so as it spins the water flow over the side and the fuel will run down Just a guess Like a centrifical oil filter Just clean and reassemble, last for ever and the engine oil stays spotless Paul

I sez it's kinda sad to see the end of a era I also think people should be proud of just how many years the ACCO lasted Paul

I was only speaking to my mother about this very thing a week or so ago We dont do enough for veterans and their families We ask them to put it all on the line for a cause they might not even agree with but we are to lousy to put out our hands to help after the fighting is over I only learnt my Grandfather who was in the RAAF although he was ground crew , he was a air frame fitter I asked what that was as a child "when they come in like a colander I send em out like a bowl" I never new until only days ago he was a fire fighter in the airforce as well, the memories of the burnt and mangled air crews haunted him to the day he died apparently As I said I only learnt this days ago Most of us only think of the front line troops and the trauma they must suffer I do wonder how far reaching this trama can be Paul

Remembrance day is what its called in Australia It really is quite impressive to see all people from all walks of life just stop work and gather and then return to work without a word been said I was googling before and according to Wikipedia the numbers of men lost in WW1 and also the percentage of the population is quite interesting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_casualties#Casualties_in_the_borders_of_1914–18 Well worth a look Paul
