reset the springs in a press at least thats what I would do how cool is this one a great shot of a working truck Paul

I have a 1942 HB Cummins was gunna fix it up once but Cummins Australia didnt have any parts or maybe just werent interested back then I have some spares (brand new) but not enough Great read thanks for sharing the link Paul

I reckon if they still made these with a late diesel motor they would sell them like hot cakes but what would I know Theres some fella in the US that buys the old power wagons and fixes them up and up dates this and that and sells them for $150,000 or some such price and has already sold out 12 months ahead of time go figure make what people want and you can always seem to sell them today they are all keen on telling people what they want HMMMMMMMM wonder how well thats gunna work I need to keep put some money aside http://www.legacypowerwagon.com/ Paul

TJ's stepping up in the world to a classy ride now bet his feeling like a lucky duck Paul

low hydrogen rods buy some crack testing spray stuff if you can clean it up with the grinder spray it on find the end of the crack and drill a hole if you dont drill a hole you most likely never stop the crack !!!! if you cant easily get the spray crack testing stuff once its cleaned up heat it up a little bit and spray diesel it will seep into the cracks and as it evaporates off you can see it coming out of the cracks http://www.dymarkindustries.com/product-range/inks-and-dyes/flawchek-crack-detection I would Vee it out and start again and stitch it back together as described above I wouldnt worry about peening it to much work for me next I would crack test it again I wold then make a big patch to cover the whole area allowing a fair bit more for each end of the crack and fully weld it on thats just me though if it has already cracked it isnt strong enough so a patch is gunna help at least in my mind it would I would have a go at fixing it, it wont cost much and most likely will work fine for many years to come Paul and one last thing Im only a farmer so maybe take no notice of me

I dont ever recall seeing any of these emblems on Australian Macks I wonder if the Fully imported R 700's had them ??? Paul

but I would like to get to know it Paul

As long as you dont pan up and I find out its some bloke at a mardi gra !!!

Thanks RD somethings you just cant un see

ok Im dumb not that I had to tell anyone that , does any one know why its called twisted sister ?? I have never seen any of this so it's all new to me Paul

and yet they got all this done with OHS crap Wow what a great photo shows how tough we used to be thanks for sharing Paul

is it glazed a bit from idling to much sounds like its something simple like does it smoke much when working hard does it drink much oil ?? oh yeah welcome to the dog house Paul

do you blokes have Perkins motors over there the old 6354 turbo goes good when tuned up they used to use them on interstate semis out here back in the day they are nice and small or the later Perkins phazer goes good as well small and light Paul

good luck with the sale Steve hope it all goes well for you Paul

I dunno how much difference inter coolers really make a good friend if mine years ago had 320 coolpower and the air cleaner for the tip turbine got completely choked and he never really noticed any difference at the end of the week when he went to clean it out was the first he new he couldnt pull the air cleaner element out !!! When we are hauling sugar and cutting green the normal style intercoolers that sit front of the radiator get blocked between the radiator and intercooler the first you ever notice is when the temp gauge climbs I never noticed any change in performance so I dunno how much all this stuff really matters in the real world Paul

thats the one I reckon its a bargain at that money you would be hard pressed to find something that good anymore so go on fellas dont be shy they tell me its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission LOL so hook spend some coin and live the dream Paul

here I was hoping the US would have had a better start to the new year Hmmmmmmmmmmmm come on get it together maybe Mr Trump has the answers???? however I doubt it Paul

It was posted up here 6 - 12 months ago I reckoned it was a bargain back then still have a love affair going shame the steering wheel is on the wrong side Im sure there was some more pics on the old thread maybe wrong there though It had the price listed back then if it would pass for carry on on the plane I would come and get tomorrow with or with out the Princesses permission Paul

MATE SHE"S GUNNA PULL LIKE A TRAIN I have no idea if Im right or not but the tip turbine motors are grouse I reckon they are the best motors Mack ever made Paul

On that Faceless book having and Lunch today and look what came so flogged stole perlioned or what ever else Swishy calls it and came across these so reckon I new where they belonged so here you go has anybody heard from Mick (R600 RD600) havent seen him on here for a while hope all is ok sent him a PM asking dont know how else to get of him If your out there Mick say gudday Paul

very cool Swishy is that a big gun B model ????LOL

good luck with the new season and chasing sponsors Paul

I dunno what calendar you blokes are using but its not April 1st is it I swear someone has gotta be pulling my leg this is to stupid to be true Paul

sounds like a good plan to me I would look at going wider with the doors if you can, not much but it doesnt take much to damage something if its to tight Paul
