  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Does this happen often and we dont see it or is it fairly rare Paul
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. A tripple in flood water And yes it's not my photo Paul
  8. Yes it's true, I am officially jealous How cool is that ? I'll answer that, bloody cool Thanks sharing Paul
  9. No fear, I gave a good solid thump thump thump as I new he would be sleeping, took a while and when the driver appeared I said "HEY MISTER CAN I TAKE A PHOTO FOR THE FORUM" 😂 Passed him later in the day at Gunbower Paul
  10. Sounds like a ground connection problem, or as suggested water is in somewhere it shouldn't be Paul
  11. Yes I also thought the same thing Well done
  12. That was the one I was thinking of But maybe I dunno my ass from elbow Saw this little road train parked up this morning whilst out and about in the wee small hours Baxters from Berrigan Baxters are becoming quite the sizable operation for by Australian standards, well over 50 trucks now Paul
  13. And todays offering Paul
  14. Surely they have heard of Mount Saint Helen as I have as I reckon most people I speak to in Australia would of heard of this big bang or series of big bangs Paul
  15. And now for something that isnt mine and has nothing to do with pies and rhubarb A video thats not mine and not from my country but flogged borrowed and shared for all ig your enjoyment Happy days everyone Gunna be well over a 100 in the old money today here Paul
  16. Healing quick and still a serious frown, maybe someone one has put you in the naughty corner and you have the sulks Paul
  17. Well I'm not gunna say much as I don't know bugger all I think getting truck to run will be easy but getting everything else to work is it should, guages etc is gunna be a headache and a half But if it is not gunna do much road work is that gunna be a concern? Good luck with it and keep us posted Vee belts can be a fair bit missaligned before theres huge issues, plenty of farm machinery has left the factory nor even close and belts doing a full flip to run the next pulley the reverse direction You've got this Even just get some cheap mechanical guages to get you moving and sorted Speedo can be a phone gps type of deal Tacho you dont need Oil pressure and water temp and amp guage really is all you need to get moving and sortbthe rest out in the future Paul
  18. In the South Australian captial Adelaide as the young bucks stagger out of night clubs and bars heading home after a big night they would get a pie floater to help sort them out for the journey home A pie floater is the normal upside down meat pie, which no one is sure has actual meat in it Anyway it is served upside down on a bed of mushy peas and covered on tomato sauce, just the ticket to set you right after a big night on the turps It looks better in the photo than it does coming back up on the foot path at 2.00 am I have been told Happy days everyone Paul
  19. Never heard of rhubarb pudding but rhubarb and apple stewed and sevred with ice cream , now that's the ticket on a cold night or hot night or anyother night Plum puddings out here are steamed and had on Christmas day with brandy custard these days, should be as heavy as lead and sit right your stomach Paul
  20. Normally I put the genny circuit into the shed to keep the noise away from the house 100 feet is pretty long and you'll need a lot of cross sectional area on the cable to eliminate voltage drop Go big and them some for your lead as suggested or if you can run the inlet to the shed were you wanna sit the genny Ive run big long aerials on cattle stations (ranches) maybe the longest would be 1000 feet but voltage drop makes it pretty dear out the other end Voltage drop will burn motors out pretty quick so keep any eye on it if you can, 5% is the max by law out here, would assume the states are the same Paul
  21. Apple pie, phtttty Try some good plum pudding, that'll put some lead in your pencil and also has the possibility to make you some coin Paul
  22. My only advise here is to test all of this out before you need it Just to make sure it all works as expected as electricians are usually hard to get in a hurry Paul
  23. For seamless transfer you need a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) not the pony express These are normally fitted to places that have a critical need for powet, hospitals, fir stations, police (some might suggest they have to much power already) controls for big plants, trains traffic lights and on and on But these are only fitted to the circuits that need these, they have enough battery back up for 3 or 4 hours and this encasethe genny doesnt start it gives the m3chanic a few hours to get things sorted Paul
  24. Youve done well
