The ducks big day, have a great one duck 🥳🍻 Paul

At least in Australia, back when we had tarriffs and we all worked at building our country We had very little crime Drug use almost didn't exist Obesity virtually was none existent We only had two genders Nearly everyone was married We believed in working hard and doing whats right Been on welfare had a stigma to it and we did our very best to never be on welfare Anyway work does call so best bugger off to work Paul

The best thing about tarriffs are people then get to choose how much tax they pay Support your countries industries and pay less tax, support oversees companies and pay a more tax The nay sayers will waffle on with a lot of waffle and blame unions and energy costs and what ever else they can think of But the truth is very different, more people buying and supporting local companies means more workers working paying income tax which means there's less people on handouts, less people sitting around doing nothing, because people are no longer sitting on their backside doing nothing, they are healthier Because people are healthier and now have a purpose to life they won't be turning to drugs which means less crime So far I can't think of one reason tarriffs are bad or any negative at all One thing I do know for sure is if driving along a road and turn left instead of right The longer you go left for with your head up your bum trying to convince yourself that your going the wrong way the further it is once you do turn around to get bacl to were you last heading the right way We can keep on running along with our head up our bums B.S.ing to our selves that everything is okay or we can at least stop and look about and ask ourselves "just how the hell did we end up here ?" Anyway, off my soap box and off to work for me Paul

Just getting there is gunna be a huge win for you Paul

Smoking or roasting this Joey ? Paul

And how did the car wash enjoy your greasy mess ? I tried this once with a inline 671 in the back of my ute Not enough heat or power maybe both to clean a very very dirty 2 stroke GM I had black freckles all over me and and the ute ended up a mess and the motor still wasn't clean I decided my future love affair with the 671 was waining very quickly ha ha ha ha Paul

Good job Joey

Good job, and great work on the award for 50 years, some how I missed that And well done on the second place at the show Paul

Heaps cooler than any school bus in Australia If we had school buses like that in Australia I would still be at school smoking cigarettes and getting my fingers wet behind the shelter sheds ha ha ha Paul

Yep, get someone else to pack so you have someone to blame 🫠😂 Paul

Thanks for finding this for me and Brocky Funny enough Brocky is a legendary racing car driver in Australia Not the same Brocky Search Peter Brock racing car driver would find him I'll share this thread now And for everyone wondering what I am rambling on about, a bloke on the Australian truck forum that Brocky, Swishman and myself are on has a bloke wanting to build something like this build Brocky suggested I find it and share it Paul

Is there any import tarriff on heavy trucks into the U.S. at the moment ? I personally don't have any issues with tarriffs as we had them up until the 80's and back then nearly everything you could think of was made in Australia All part of the "Agenda 21" and level playing field rubbish has ruined Australian manufacturing I suspect the U.S. is similar Heck, we used export Australian made cars around the world back then Paul

Saw this last night Paul

Oh I feel your pain, the battle is real Pruning a creeper in the back yard with lots of instruction and no assistance Aint life just ducky ha ha ha Paul

Just roll the drum with spider still attached outside and then drop it apart You'll be surprised at how easy it rolls without wheels Get a sheet of ply for on the ground, even if you have cement area to work on, it is much easier to scrape the crud off the ply than explain why you keep walking grease into the house for the next 6 months Paul

That's a lot of truck, very impressive Paul

Thia spring Brocky This spring just holds the top bits together to stop the oil coming out Paul

Now that we know what is happening it makes it easier to offer solutions The end of the stick is badly worn as the dogs it grabs shifting gears are allowing the stick to slide through the gap Now you could replace heaps of stuff or do what I would do Build up the end of the stick a bit so it can no longer slip between the dogs I would build it up with the welder and then grind back until it is the right shape and can no longer even get close to fitting between the dogs So if you can see the dog/cleat, dunno what the proper name is for it that the stick slots into to change gears The one above is on a 5 or 10 speed by the looks A 12 speed is almost the same so this picture will do fine Here is a picture of a 12 speed and the sticks go in the front cover in the deep reduction side, not the main box, at least on the ones I have worked on So the good news is, you can pull the floor in the truck and lift the lid off the box quite easily Another picture showing a top view but missing the dogs off the rods This is a relatively easy fix on the weekend with basic tools Paul

Now that you have the bolts out of the shield, you also have the bolts out that hold the drum to the spider Just a bit of a pry with a bar and a whack with hammer should seperate the two really heavy bits to two bits you can then man handle a lot easier It will make life a lot easier to clean the mess up A wire wheel on a angle grinder will get most of that crap off in a few minutes Paul

Pretty sure the same or similar rules are in Australia All new installations must have hardwired smoke alarms All rentals must have hardwired smoke alarms Rules are similar Only thing is the Princess makes more noise than any smoke alarm will if the smoke alarm goes Oh my god she puts on a performance So I just pull the smoke alarms out and reckon it makes life easier than been married to someone screaming her head off But electrical fires arenot caused by a cable shorting, a short circuit fault will trip the breaker or blow a fuse in a millie second Loose connections cause fires No electrical protection device can stop a shoddy workmanship Paul

I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding a buyer, looks like a great truck Paul
