You Need an Australian Built Mack Titan............. https://www.macktrucks.com.au/trucks/titan/

^^^^ pretty good Thread Mine.... The OP hasn't logged in since December 2016.. Fair chance We'll never know..!!

At least you lived to tell the tale Steve... I lost a Good Mate 17 Years ago who didn't....

You can go down a Hill Too slow every Day of Your Life... You will only ever go down a Hill Too fast, Once....!!

Start Pulling Fuses out one at a Time, until you isolate which circuit the gremlin is In..maybe..

I think We'd all like to see pictures of the Engine & the Fan Hub from BOTH sides.......!!

I have a feeling I've posted this Video before.. But It's a good Video so here it is again..

41chevy was NOT part of Barry's big purge back in August. In fact he was still posting fairly regularly right up until His Last post on December the 8th last year. Which was also the last time He logged in here.. There's a real chance that Life has just got in the Road.! i remember this as Well. Throw in a new Wife, Kids & Grandkids into the Mix, & Who knows...!

Have you sent Him a PM...?

Here's a Discussion We had a couple of Years ago about an Australian 8V71 powered B Model..

What the Milkman Said...

Uncouple the Brake pedals & apply some pressure to the "inside" Brake pedal will stop that outside front Wheel "bulldozing" a Trench !!

Is it Like this one, http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/005/0/0/5008-david-brown-880.html It says It has a David Brown Engine..

What Model David Brown do you have fjh..?? & any chance of a Pic (or 2) I've never heard of (or seen) a Perkins Powered David Brown Tractor.. But More than Happy to learn something New..

That's often the Dilemma. More than once I've seen the Donor Truck Morph into the Project, & the original Project become the Donor..

You're Doing very Nice Work. Instead off Die grinding those new Cab Pivot Bushs, I would 've loosened all the Nuts & bolts on both Spring hangers, Installed the Rod & Cab mount Brackets & then Tightened the Spring hanger Bolts Up. But to each His Own.. You'll have a very Nice Truck when Completed.. PS: I've sent you a PM..

I think that the highlighted bit above MAY be your Problem.. For your Jakes to work that switch's contacts need to be Closed. Which is what the Clutch pedal holding the Springy thing Does. With that Broken Off I reckon the Contacts are now Open.. I'd do what Swishy Suggests & make up a Little Jumper wire & bypass the Clutch Switch. Or just Hold (Or Tape) the remains of the little lever Down. & see if they Work..

Iveco have been losing market share consistently over the last 10(or so) Years. Their main Problems In my opinion are.. 1) They have revolving Door of Foreign executives who come & go far too frequently All with their Own Different Agendas. 2) They have an extremely Poor reputation regarding Warranty & Aftermarket support, There's heaps of Pissed Off Ex Iveco owners out there.. 3) They Don't have a 15-16 Litre Truck Engine, They do have one they Fit to Tractors & Headers (Combines to you) their 13 Litre @560/1700 is just not quite Man enough for our Interstate B Double/Road train Work.. They recently head hunted a Long Term Freightliner/Benz Guy to head up the Aussie Operation. if he is given a free rein & support for the next 4-5 Yrs they Might just (maybe) Turn it Around..

I Don't know exactly, But Not very many at all I only know 3-4. But may be More.. I believe this one is still about & still working. A much modified GH Hino Tilt Tray (roll off to you) with a Cab from a Crane..

Paul, that one was a Cut Down Leyland Bus with the motor Mid Mounted Horozontally.
