    The Eaton 18speed auto with clutch pedal is horrible, it never knows what gear it should have, the Volvo auto is not to bad, it just needs more gears. Grant

    no govtm package, only the promise that you are most likely to see/hit a snake,cow,horse,sheep,kangaroo,camel,rabbit,dingo,fox,goat,wombat,lizared nearly every trip. some of our roads are pretty narrow i dont think you would want to put your hand out there to adjust your mirror while another triple is coming!

    The C92 is the series i do believe, thats a low ratio, it must rev hard. i have 5.32 and 5.13 diffs sitting there and there still going to be to low. i am at the unit tomorrow, is your truck close to unit? i need to see how good or bad the hood line is where it meets up with the cab. regards Grant

    Hello, am still in sydney, I went up to Auski, got back on the friday and left for sydney that nite, got here on monday the 26th and have been here waiting for a backload ever since. go see Rod at Soltogio brothers, there just off Armadale road near freeway, he has a set of Bud Hubs there to convert, I bought a set off him last year, I know he has another set. I am running a ENDT 866 with an 18spd double over road ranger not many R700s over our way. regards Grant

    Hello, no worrys, looking forward to the call. i am turning the flintstone R600 into a R700, using the diffs and motor and front axle out of the F model I had, I take it you saw the flinty tucked away around the side of the panel beaters? the cab I have outside is now for parts as I bought a Valueliner cab for 3000 that had no rust in it, i couldnt repair that other one that cheap. i am building an Australian version of the Ducks truck from convoy with twin stacks and aircleaners. regards Grant

    I see, thats where you get it from. it gets a little confusing thats all, as a tractor plows fields down here and a prime mover is what pulls trailers. It tool me ages to get used to calling them tractors when I lived there, I was down in Naperville with the Arnold brothers. will be back there soon. regards Grant
  24. ducky698
    if you were in australia i would say for pulling dollies! for road train work. to move your dollie from one trailer to the next or to drag a dollie and trailer around to where ever you need it. my big question for you guys is why do you call the thing a tractor? dont you use tractors for plowing fields????? regards Grant
  25. ducky698
    Hello, no it had the ram assisted steering, still have the ram etc, the full power steering is better tho, 6 turns lock to lock rather than a million! the 6 turns will be much better for chasing that second trailer to hook up the third! regards Grant
