Aussie movie "Return Home" R model fuel tanker pays a visit, a wee bit of air start action and all Paul

Ask if she's hopping in the shower to wash your back, probably just get you into more trouble Heck your already im this much trouble, why stop now 🤣🦘 Paul

Great job Get out and enjoy it Paul

In the mean time if the CRC/brake clean shows a leak a big dollop of grease will seal up the shaft to prove it's sucking air Even if the CRC/brake clean jobby shows nothing shoving grease everywhere will help show any possible air leaks That been said I reckon theres a blockage in the carby from what we know so far Paul

Never worked on these motors so Im not gunna be of any real help, anything I say is just thinking out aloud So I need to just ramble a bit I believe you can rule out mechanical as the motor has been rebuilt You can rule out the injector because you swapped it I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to suggest that the valve burnt because of something wrong and not wear and tare So it really only leaves the electrical side of the injection system, (I am assuming the injectors are fired eelectrically ?) Is there a high resitance connection causing the voltage to be lower than needed and as such the injector is firing a bit slower ? I have no idea if this is even possible but just throwing a idea out there Lot's more smarter people with these than me on here Paul

I think any of the ratios would be fine, a 12 speed in deep reduction is really really slow and you can break the drive line if your rough in deep reduction So I can't imagine any situation where it won't be lower geared enough with any of the ratios suggested Paul

Lawn is something I am not much good at, I can make it green but never worry about the weeds Miss Molly would enjoy sleeping on that lawn Paul

Maybe check out this bloked video Not a truck but shows how to get rid of the drone etc, without reducing the awsome noise Yeah it's a car but the same principles apply I reckon Paul

Well this trucks on youtube now Apparently the Boston trucker was there and a this truck made it into YouTube Haven't finished watching the video but I did pick up on this fine machinin the background Happy days Matt, if even it was a tad moist Paul

I reckon it be driven out But if you have cross locks ?? I remember a mate had axles out for some reason His son, maybe only 2 or 3 years of age put sockets in the axle housing to help his daddy Daddy shoved the axle and the sockets and all ended up im the middle 😄 Gotta love them kids Paul

Autocar's were never a very common brand in Australia, used primarily as really heavy duty type of truck, road trains and heavy haulage Sounds like it's going like a rocket Matt Dunno what the speed limit is in the U.S. but you would do your ticket in Australia at 78 MPH Enjoy Paul

There's a joint about a hour away that wrecks headers (combine harvesters)and farm tractors Thinking some of those had pretty good seats, maybe a matching pair there the Princess can make a new cover for Want low back type of deal, Steiger and Versatile tractors had pretty flash seats, even the 86 series Internationals had pretty good seats Paul

I looked at getting a couple of nice seats for the truck but the ended dearer than that and I couldn't justify the cost, I'm to bigger to tight ass for that Paul

Progress is progress Princess had a birthday on Friday and surprised her with a new car, kinda hit the turps to celebrate Was pretty useless on Saturday, but still made some progress on the house renovations Was looking for any excuse to not be in the ceiling 🥱🤪 Stick at it Paul

If you don't have a drier you need to drain the tanks of moisture everyday Paul

Drama Llama I love it Happy trails Milo Paul

Joey bat flue ended up been not as big a drama as we were told it would be I dunno the whole worlds lost the plot or I'm just to old Anyway when it all goes pare shaped we still have dogs Miss Molly reckons the central heating I finally got going is all the go for her ageing back legs Paul

Bob I can tell you they most definitely did have the E9 over there It just happened to coincide with a family holiday to NZ that the 50 years of Mack in NZ was on, pure coincidence, I swear it was I was stunned that even though Kiwi Macks look almost the same as Australian ones they are definitely custom built for NewZealand Well worth jumping on the kero kite for a look one day if you get a chance Paul

A couple more piccies from the trailers working days Back a boiler section in under boiler number 2 on B station This is one of two B models still working in the 90s building these power stations Looks like it has a Lincoln welder on the back Dragging boiler sections in Loy Yang has some of the biggest boilers in the world This is because they burn low grade brown coal, there's enough proven coal to supply Loy Yang for 570 years but left greens have convinced the poxy governments to pull the pin in about 10 - 15 years time Bloody greenies Paul

Here's a photo I found of Loy Yang power station getting built The blue B model was one of two I remember been used on the two trailers shifting the precipitators in sections Doubt it is one of the trailers on the back but I dunno Paul

Well done, the chassis rails are a big job apparently, I have never done them I gather it's a gal cab, given the age, hopefully rust is pretty limited Great work Paul

Mecho I was thinking yesterday as U was toodling along in my old bucket of bolts Just how impressive this really is, a truck nearly 45 years young, the float 55 years young, doing a job no one else would even do Apparently a lot of people have looked at shifting this trailer but it is all to hard The people I shifted for I have known since they were children, of known the lady that I delivered it for, for even longer, she was our vet on our dairy farm All of them good people, we aren't rich, we aren't flash, we are just the average Joe trying to get along in life The couple approached me last November about this, "So do you think yah can do it" My answer, "sure, piece of cake" No idea if I could but thought, why not ? But a truck nearly 45 years old doing a difficult job that no one else would even attempt That to me is pretty impressive She's a good old bucket of bolts that proves that these Macks in my slightly biased and uneducated opinion are the very best of the best ever made, hands down without a doubt, they really are that good Paul
