Apparently theres need to worry about having a small deck Joey Paul

Yep, that's what I did and feel it was a great deal considering how much enjoyment I get from been a member here Paul

With all this good weather and pitman arm off, Im expecting big results tomorrow when I wake up 🤣 Box off and seals out on the bench No pressure at all ha ha ha Paul

Brocky the salt flat racing isnt very widely known about in Australia We have huge salt flats in South Australia that cover at guess many millions of acres The middle of Lake Eyre is something like 30 - 50 feet bellow see level Lake Eyre is 2.3 million acres on its own Lake Gardiner is 1.1 million acres Lake Eyre is circled in red and Lake Gardiner is circled in green Paul

Don't be to hard on him or her, we all reckon we are fairly smart as no doubt did the fella the welded all that on there Paul

Could always just pull a few leafs out of the spring packs and lower the air pressure I'm just lowering the tyre pressure will give some pretty substantial changes Looks like your already on tubeless tyres so 50 - 55 psi is not a problem for running bob tail Paul

Happy birthday Brocky, dunno if Im late or still sneaking in on time Hope your having a great day Paul

36 years of bliss, my Princess isn't remotely interested in my truck, she reckons it's all a waist of money Your on a winner there Happy anniversary Paul

Nope still coming up here Paul

Depending on the amount of rain, would say unlikely for hydro lock However it is possible, especially if were it was unlucky enough to have the aircleaner fully removed and the down pipe running into the motor However I believe it was running, and just stopped while running so to me that rules out hydro locked Paul

Yep, same same here Paul

I went through all steering box oil leak repairs on my bucket of bolts Finally got it all oil tight and was still loosing oil through the pump Oh dear, for me it was amazing just how how bad my truck was and also just how much was wrong It took a lot of attempts on my behalf tp finally get it sorted As my mate says "it costs a fortune in oil to just run out on the ground and only 50 cents and time for a oil seal" Anyway I'm sure your all over this Bob Back when the Princess and I first got hitched our neighbour had lattice work and a potato vine growing up and over the top We would go up to the dairy farm we were getting going every two out of three weekends Well bugger me, we come home after one weekend and the latice is removed, the garden bed is trampled flat So I chat to the neighbour about this and suggest he probably shouldn't be doing all this without letting us know Anyway he tells me he is all done Nothing happens until next time we are away Get home garden is completely stuffed now and the fence is like the great China wall I promptly loose my cool and rip it all down, I think I was more shitty at him coming onto our place with out asking than to build a fence like the great wall of China and to be so gutless that he waited until we weren't there Not often I loose my shit, but I was fully wound up that afternoon lol Good luck with the neighbour and your grand erection Paul

It makes the almost new R model on a different thread look like a bargain I know which I would rather have Anyway a good result for the seller and I hope the new owner is happy Hang on, I thought was meant to be a "cost of living crisis" in Australia at the moment I'm clearly to bigger soft cock and to harder at auction time Paul

Chamberlain farm tractors, a Australian brand of tractor Anyway, the owners manual used to say that exact thing Fill the tyres with water, both steer and rear tyres Hitch the implement high enough that the front tyres are touching just enough to allow steering Those old Chamberlains would pull like a 16 year old, really bog down and pull A couple of photos for reference of Chamberlain tractors Paul

Tiz all good Jojo, they all look good to me The Pinnacle is a good looking modern Mack Paul

Well I'm a little late to the party here, well done on getting it all back together Good news about a improvement in the smoke situation as well Paul

I would of thought a spoked/spider axle would be easy to come across with a good ratio A rear axle off a bogie drive I would think would be a give away type of deal just about Paul

I think there was a few different versions of how the plumbing was done Some years ago on the forum there was a lot of discussion in a thread about this very topic Someone smarter than me could probably find it and post a link Paul

A straight bit of pipe on the intake is a easy fix Maybe a couple of elbows and stack up a couple of common car type air filters, like off a car type V8, real simple type of paper elements stacked up Two or three of these stacked up Should be simple enough and will get you out of trouble for bugger all money I have seen photos on the forum of B models with a coolpowered motor with no filter on the turbine side So I dunno how much filtering the actually need, everything wears I guess Paul

On spiders, dayton, wobbly wheels like this I don't think 250 lbs is the right figure as would probably strip the nuts Anyway I'm thinking more like 100 lbs and check every few k's, just nip them up Maybe do this three or 4 times The standard wheel brace for these was no more than 18inches long, maybe 24 inches at the max Paul

That's different way to go And yes a gorgeous day here as well Paul

In Australia and NewZealand we run a second aircleaner for the tip turbine air only Paul
