Am I incorrect when I thought Paul bailed when that last big ordeal happened a few months back when a few guys were banned?   Dont think he was banned ,but there were a few hurt feelings and attitudes and some just left.

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 thought I remembered him having an auction and in the process of relocating from VA to Maine. This was after a hassle from the local govt types about his proposed housing for veterans.

I know he's probably somewhat of a private guy but does anyone have a cell number or an email for Paul? Now I am starting to get kinda worried...???

Have you sent Him a PM...?

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

Going to need to address the front end "dig" when turning however. Maybe lose the front weights on the tractor as the outer wheel in a turn will really cut a "trench" in the turf

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 engine powers the the Honkey tractor Rob?
Nice looking unit! I have a 1972 David brown on my little claim here tough as nails! its powered by Perkins as one would expect given the name! Its my wheel borrow wy forklift  powers everything I got from my saw mill to my rototiller! would love to have a 3 point mower !

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..

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..

Fuse is good,voltage going to switch on dash and leaving also,no voltage going to switch on pump,the springy thing on clutch switch is broke of so that switch is activated always,where does the voltage go first pump switch or clutch or both at the same time?

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..

How about it all you Aussie  guys?  Big Iveco's are capable??

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..

Do any of them still exist?

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.
