Who would have thought dealer networks ???? Back when IH was still around every country town had a dealer so every farmer in the country towns bought either Bedford IH or Dodge as that was the dealers they had And almost every farm truck was second hand say around five years old that had done its life as a full time truck so get sent out to the dealers to have chassis stretches and trays etc fitted Sounds like they have taken a look back at history They were a very smart business model back in the day Mum and Dad come to town they had a account at their IH dealer he sold fuel as well so Dad would run around to fill the ute while Mum shopped while Dad was waiting for Mum he would chew the fat and while Im here I'll grab some points for the scariffier and that part for the header and the this and that and to keep in Mums good books he bought her a new IH fridge Paul

I'll have a good supply of Vegemite on hand for you, LOL. It will be funny to watch your face as you try it. LOL Paul

Paul, this is truly amazing to me. I have thought about replying for a day or so but don't wanna start any do gooder BS. But then I thought, stuff em. You have done something all those years that would have been nervous and exciting all at the same time and been and lived in a place I have always wanted to visit and have a good look at. I reckon you have done more living than most of us will ever do and I am in awe of people like you and your wife that shift to a strange land, and its not a land like Australia or the US where your future is fairly certain or at least that's the way it appears to me. One day if I ever get to your part of the world, it would be really interesting to sit down and have yarn about life over there. Thank you for sharing a small snippet of your life with us. Paul

looks like no rust so I gather Russia doesnt use salt like the US on its roads it sure would stand out from the crowd !!! Your gunna need a bigger Shed Vlad Paul

Yep, I'm impressed. They are a huge truck to me and I have no doubt they were well built. I had never heard of them till the other day. Thanks for the info. Paul

Hey Swishy, I do wonder how good Vagina-mite actually cleans white clothing and remove the smudge does it just cover it up with a big black smudge "see stain gone " LOL But yeah, the top paragraph says it all. if you weren't brought up on it, I don't think you will ever really get it. I myself reckon its the ducks guts, but that's just me. Other more inferior taste-budded people of the household. One past time I enjoy at breakfast use my knife in Vagina-mite first and then bung it in the jam and honey just to spread the taste it really gets the faces frowned on those that don't love it LOL. Paul

Black sticky stuff, LOL. It's beef extract and salt I think, but I don't think anyone really knows. A bit like KFC's 7 secret herbs and spices Paul

Dont you worry its not just Americans they want dead I reckon we need to bring back the treason laws and sort this out sooner rather than later Anyway back on to one of the true miracles of the modern world "Vegemite" dunno what they were thinking when they made it but I love it on my slice your own doormat toast for breaky each morning that and a cuppa will put lead in your pencil and get you thru a day Paul

I really hope for everyones sake that Trump does sort the mess out and gets the US up and running again I really hope he doesnt squander this once countries life to get it back on the right track again I really hope he does but if he buggers it up the chance will never arise again Paul

incorrect they the muslim people and their doo gooder friends are the ones with the prejudices by demanding we change to suit them I was quite happy with out been required to eat Halal food Paul

says you and I guess you sell uranium to ISIS if it was a good business sense If you actually read what I have written its not about the money its about whats right and our country and our freedom maybe you can be bought for a few dollars I cant and I dont believe most Australians can either Paul

You poor misguided person. As the world's population keeps growing, places like Australia are the bread baskets of the world. We produce a lot more food than we'll ever eat, and the potential is mind boggling of this great land. What you fail to understand is if the world's food producers refuse to become Halal certified, the Muslim community will have only two choices: Disregard halal foods and eat food like the rest of the world, or starve think about it !!!!!!! And as far as intolerance goes, aren't the Muslim people the intolerant ones demanding we change our way of life and beliefs to suit them ????? And this alleged trillion dollar market is a bit like saying "well, we can make billions off dealing in cocaine or ice, so let's change the law and legalize it just to make a few bucks". We shouldn't give up our country or our freedom for a few dollars. You may think it's okay for the US to well bullow for you and the US, but that crap won't wash down here. Paul

In a country where we don't put religion first because of all the dramas, it causes, yeah, it is a problem when you start putting one religion first. Putting any religion above our way of life and demanding a country change is a threat to the freedom of that country and its people, a threat to what if you want to choose not to buy Halal certified food because of your beliefs you cant. You do gooders have given that freedom away so you can feel all warm and fluffy inside we have given to much of our freedoms away and be stuffed. If we are gonna keep on doing this, as my Grand mother says, "Thousands of men gave their lives for the freedom we all enjoy, don't give it away, don't ever give your freedom away", and yet we do to try and accommodate one and all. And then when we say no more you fruit loops, have the hide to tell us we are intolerant ?????????????????????? FFS really ??? Paul

The only fact you presented was you're talking out your ass about another country and facts you know very little about. And the fact you call me intolerant. Perhaps do some research before calling me or any other Australian intolerant you knob head. Or as we say out here, "shut you ass and give your mouth ago" Anyway the sun's up a tractor is calling me. I'm not wasting any more of this break in the weather to deal with this bull shit. Have a great day Paul

Well our good old MP Bob Katter giving the low down on the Vegemite "you tell them Bob"

FFS, really, where do come up with this crap? And you have missed the point completely. In Australia, we as a nation did not put any religion above another. All of a sudden, we get these people coming to our country, the greatest country on earth, and they demand we put their religion above all others. And then they try and demand separate bathing areas at our beaches, separate public toilets, separate food treatment of all our food, separate schools and because we are a tolerant nation, we bend over backwards and try to please all. But the more we bend, the more they demand! AND YOU HAVE THE HIDE TO CALL ME INTOLERANT !!!!!!!

Yes we are loosing the plot here big time Cadbury chocolate Halal certified ther chocolate last year and at easter their eggs and chocolates were left on the shelves and then the bin slowly but surly the most tolerant and under standing country in the world is getting fed up Our major supermarket chains have become Halal certified and we all foot the bill as a percentage of every purchase goes to the muslim community to monitor and certify this rubbish which then the money cant be traced because they are a church and a lot of people suspect wrongly or rightly it goes over seas to fund terrorism but we will never know and because they are a church they dont pay any tax this whole thing is mad Its Australia day next week on the 26th the powers that be decided it would be a good idea to feature muslim people on a billboard for Australia day huge public out cry the billboard was pulled then the do gooders sooked and moaned and raised money to get the bill board put up Dunno about Trump I feel America is like Australia people are fed up been fed BS from the so called powers that be I'm thinking about getting a digger and putting a moat around the farm with a draw bridge and telling them all were to go Paul

Yes, it's back where it belongs, but the outcry continues due to Halal certification and the tax that we as Australians don't have a choice in paying if we choose to eat Bega products. Paul

some more Paul

never heard of these before E 9 and Mack trans by the looks of it Paul

12 speeds in R models are pretty common out here Paul

Swishy I logged on up or in or what ever its call and the little red circle with a number in it shows some one is in there I click on chat and its only me stuffed if I know Im thinking you may be right and this chat room is busted Paul

I have spent some time in a B model with a 8 71 in it from new and later on it was re engined with a 6 71 so I guess anything is possible

does it have a waste gate ??????? if a turbo diesel motor doesnt make boost there is really on three reasons turbo is stuffed lack of fuel (you need the fuel to make the boost) or lack of air (air cleaner blocked or a leak in the air system and the compressed air is leaking out) it really is that simple would be surprised if it has a waste gate at all I have never noticed a waste gate on large diesel turbo motors If you can hear air escaping as the boost builds that would be a pretty good indication of a leak somewhere I would think Paul
