sounds good to me all I could remember it was a bucket load of fuel was the video on youtube ??? Paul

I like toys in your toy box very cool Paul

all very interesting its amazing the job these did and the speed they traveled the most amazing thing is the amount of fuel they used I read some where once at full speed they only had enough fuel for 1 hour and there tanks were like 6000 gallons dont quote me on these figures but it was a bucket load fuel real quick Just the thing to use to go fishing Paul

1275 animals mate theres more chance of the angry wife doing you in when your asleep or maybe thats just in my house !!!! Paul

Have a great day Barry and Tim

HMMMMM 35C summer time 25 C winter time LOL we have shorts on weather or shorts on weather and when does the Maple syrup start run ?????????? Paul

I had this picture in a magazine as you can see the magazine put it on a angle and put it over two pages but I have a teenage son who sorted it for me because I had no hope LOL still not real sure on what he done but here is the picture Im sure someone with photoshop can make it even better OH yeah NR Mack Bedford cab at Wollongong but still in the same state NSW as the first one but 700 km south the first one was built at Grafton NSW so I dunno seems like a common modification Paul

theres a story to go with this truck quite a good one I reckon would have to ask the writers permission before posting if anyone wants let me know and I'll see if I can get permission to share the rest now this truck is a NR Mack with a custom cab 6 71 2 valve leaker Paul

Tim the thing a lot of people I dont think under stand is how heavy Australian hard wood is as well Aussie hard wood doesnt float chuck it in the water and it sinks if its Red gum or Box Iron Bark it will sink in seconds so there is quite a lot of weight there We could never float logs like they do in north America on the rivers etc It seems a few of these NR Bedford cabbed Macks were made and this one was made in Grafton NSW I'll pass on any more details as they come to hand seeya Paul

Came across these today on Face book thought that maybe they may be of some interest I wonder was there a mob out here that did the conversion as there seem to have been a few done Paul

it sure did Paul

your kidding me mines out of my Federal and well Im missing rocker gear as in most of it it came with new injectors and VRS gasket set the heads were off and its been full of water so I reckon I would need sleeves as well Paul

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
