I would go tall as you can never know when you will have something big on and the truck needs some work just drive it strait in 3 phase power big wires for heaps of power If its going to be on the same block of land I would put a second set of wires in so if the power goes out in the house you can sit a generator in the shed that way its nice and quiet at the house water hot and cold a big concrete apron out side for washing the toys on that slopes away from the shed the list could go on for ever Paul

like that little red ute or pickup maybe its a fire truck dunno what it is but its a cool little jigger Looking good there Wobblin Paul

blowing up in what way ???? is just a head gasket letting go or block failing or what could be 1000 and 1 reasons why you might need to give just a tad more info for some answers Do you have any pictures of what happens seeya Paul

I didnt knoe DAF took the TL 12 and reworked it what did it end up turning into ??? 8LXB Gardner were sold out here but not in great numbers and like all those Gardner motors most are still going but are now in fishing trawlers still working I dont think any 8LXC were sold out here As for Volvo and Scania even Mercedes Fiat real all the Euro truck makers they built better trucks than the UK and a lot of the yanky jobs of time and the sold like hot cakes and even when they did go bang they stood behind their trucks and customers and fixed them so it should be no surprise they have taken over in the heavy truck market they saw a opening and took it and ran the big question is how long will they hold onto it Paul

Vlad I gather the 2 stroke was the Russian copy of the GM 2 stroke ?? rear engined I take it a bit of a Flxible Clipper type of hot rod very cool

socket and real long piece of pipe on the handle on the crank on the front of the motor if you can get to it or perhaps a pinch bar on the ring gear once you get it move just a little rock it back woulds and forwards till it will roll on its a bit at least that is what I would try good luck Paul never heard of a uni shift before

more porn for me to drool all over to cool Paul

The Marathon was not sold out here till the series 2 even then it was modified a lot before release and they were quit good the ones sold out here from all reports and from what I can gather most are still going They never sold any good though Leyland had lost most of its loyal following by then Paul

Mate fantastic stuff I dont think most people outside of Europe have any idea all this long haul stuff went on or still does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms6rKgt3seg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUM93-hChto great old films these or at least I think they are shows how I guess it was once done no doubt the boys are playing up a bit for the cameras but a lot more real than the crappy truck shows of today Paul

top job on the truck and tipper looks to good to get it dirty now Paul

or an adjustment thing it has either being put together wrong or the slack adjuster arent locking when adjusted and are simply unwinding them selves when first used I seem to remember someone on here had similar problem with an R model and it was faulty slack adjusters after all our high tech well thought out guess so maybe adjust them up then take it for a drive the check them again see if they have moved at all Paul

the key thingy might be on another drawing showing the timing gears I have never had a problem so I have never had that apart but I would be surprised if didnt have some connection there Paul

Mate I dunno what you was so worried about I told you would blend right in Paul

off with a load of rapid set cement I take it Paul

the blade trailer I gather is for shifting wind turbine blades ???? Paul

well one things for certain you wont out run them or be able to hide from them BIG ORANGE AND SLOW IM SURE YOU WILL BLEND RIGHT IN Good luck maybe put it of for a week Paul

good luck with it all Paul

if nothing else it looks tough as nails Paul

does it have a little key or shaft thats slides into the back of the 90 degree doohicky that may be broken or fallen out If the 90 degree thingy has the cable off and still in motor can it be turned if so the problem is between the 90 degree thingy and the motor the drive key might be missing Paul
