Probably find you need to replace both halves of the shaft Paul

I could see the extra pics on the tablet this morning but not on the phone, hence my question as to what this was about Paul

You've done well, would of been a struggle for me, but apart from loading cattle on the odd occasion I never back into anything to load or unload That been said when hauling sugar can I would back into the siding to load and unload the can train bins (wagons) maybe 50 times a day, I had to line the rails up each time qnd that was relatively easy, mindbyou it was in the open with no traffic or onlookers, very different and the truck was a rigid or body truck so not even in the same category You blokes are pretty handy at this stuff Paul

Sorry Jo Jo I have no idea about this stuff, someone much smarter than me will be along soon enough Paul

What pictures? what posts ? Jo Jo Paul

Struth Im feeling tiny compared to you blokes Got up 6 feet but about 5' 9" now, busted bones and the like and at a guess 205 pounds, maybe a little less or more But cars aren't exactly comfortable for long trips these days, legs ache and the like Paul

Cheeky buggers everywhere Paul

This pretty much spot on, regardless of what we think we know. These days, as in right now will become the good old days for a generation at some point in thier career today We can't blame our respective government's or operators or huge companies, we as everyday people are the clowns that vote people in, that do or do not work for some companies, that do or do not set the standards that all things are done by It is up to us to do the best we can do and teach and inspire those around us to be the best they can be I can guarantee putting someone down and giving them a hard time isn't gunna help anyone Thats almost a rant I have going on there Sorry RD number 6, took your reply and ran it into the ditch Paul

Nope sorry, no idea at all Paul

Phefftt Retirement, no thanks, just waiting around to pop me clogs, I have no plans of stopping until I'm dead, Princess doesnt like my outlook at all "Let's buy a caravan and turn into grey nomads" Not on your nelly Paul

Not a lot to add today Here is the video on tripple digit large cars Now to dumb ass Aussies like myself, I had heard the terms tripple digit and large cars, chicken haulers and all of the other American jargon not used in Australia and was never to sure what some of it meant So far the rest of the dumb asses like me, here is todays lesson Paul

Well your sucking air, been that this started after changing the fuel filters I think that area is a good place to start Lot's of good ideas already shared here Thick white smoke is air in the fuel Thick grey smoke is oil Thick black smoke is over fueling Paul

Thats what we all like, positive feedback Paul

Quote for today: "The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are now outnumbered by those who vote for a living." Probably really belongs in another thread but while we are sidetracked it doesn't matter I guess Paul

Had this arrive in the mail yesterday, written inside is, "This card just called your name" 😉 Guess some people know me all to well My brother sent me this pic of his ex Army Mack 6x6, he is carting his hay in I think he is quite impressed with the 285 and the 5 speed He wasn't at first, felt a bit gutless and needed more gears, I told him he just has to give it time and learn how to drive it, a Maxidyne is a bit different than a normal motor, dunno why Im trying to even explain that on here Have been watching a video on the history of tripple digit large cars and chicken haulers Anyway another video for you lot, started this youtube channel first and promptly forgot my password lol See yah Paul

So whats this song called, you can tell Im as keen as mustard to get edumacted here Paul

No doubt the driver had a hot load freight and dropped to many yippie beans That freight is getting thru, maybe he thinks he is working for the pony express and nothings gunna stop him I laugh the hardest when the drivers grabbing gears dragging that van, he aint stuffing about Paul

Yes he or she or 1 of the other 27 genders is a fully certified "SUPER TRUCKER" I really need to lift my game Paul

I have video evidence that this not the case They can go multiple different directions m, up, down, forwards and backwards God bless Merica !!!! Paul

Welcome aboard Paul

What music video ? All I get is a picture Now some useless information as thats about all Im good for The Australian coat of arms has a red kangaroo and a emu holding it up Yeah bare with me, anyway these two animals can only move forward, they can't move backwards unless a bullbar on a Mack trucks pushing them lol So we have these two animals on our coat of arms, because we as a country and as Australians should always be moving forwards Talk about getting side tracked and not even in the side tracked thread 🦘🦘 Paul

Does this happen often and we dont see it or is it fairly rare Paul

There yah go, all sorted and you uploaded it and all Well done Perhaps these jokers dont know they gotta down load it first and then play it on their phone or computer or what ever they use Paul

Yeah Brocky your right What I guess a lot of people in the States dont understand is just how hard it was to get good trucks for many many years after WW2 in Australia and even more so NewZealand The Kiwis really were the masters of custom rebuilding of trucks for many decades, NewZealand was broje after WW2 and there was like Australia huge import duties for countries out of the Commonwealth Pommy trucks never quite cut it in the colonies, so ex army US trucks were used and rebuilt and modified for at a guess, up to 30 years of age Paul

Snowing and rain, not on your Nelly, 40C or 100 and a bit in the old money We have breeze this morning so thats a welcome change from yesterdays hot still air My mates truck bogged a few years ago in south west QLD Goldie reckons the supplier of wheel bearings and seals was pretty happy with him 😃 And not my video But this is when I picked the boy up at mid night to surprise the Princess for her birthday, we hadn't seen the Curley kid in nearly 2 years thanks tonthe China virus Stopped for fuel at 4am, was a long night and yeah the Princess was shocked with the freight I had collected, but she did forgive me for the lies leading up to her surprise Paul
