After 47 years living in the US, And runing my own dump trucks in New Jersey for the last 13 years.I made the big move to live in Australia. Things are going pretty good so far. They made me take my driving test to get my HR licence (class What a trip, it was a mitsubishi with 13 speed road ranger. Now i been around trucks for a while,But this is gone a little getting used to driving on the other side of the road and shifting with your left hand, kinda like starting all over again, A whole new life in a whole new world.

Hello, hope you dont like guns! its a mess down here if you want one. whats an R 400? i must assume its like an R600 thats got a shorter nose?

regards Grant

It has the same size cab and hood (bonnet) as a R-600, but with a lighter suspension and smaller motor like the chrysler V-8,475N/A scania, and 475 turbo scania

I can understand wanting to get the hell outa' New Jersey,but all the way to Australia?

[/quoteYeah, lets just say , I tried the american dream ,but woke up.

I live in NJ and will be moving to the central coast in NSW with in a few months time. I have been working on a 1970 R-400 for the last 5 years and was wondering if they ever made any 400s down-under and if it would be worth it to ship it over Thanks Pete.

Hi Pete;

I'm guessing you want the regulator too;when we re-wired my truck I was going to put the fuse panel in the regulator box,but that wasn't possible so I just removed it and installed my fuse panel where the regulator was. It's pretty large but,it turns out,not large enough. Let me know,then I'll see what the shipping will be to you.

Speed

Speed,I found one today from an old fire truck,same year, same model. Thanks for your help anyway. PETE.

I have a 1970 R-400 with a scania 475 turbo. the truck has an alternator on it now, but came off the line with a generator on it. Does anyone out there know were and what type generator i need. I would really like to keep this truck original,and i would be greatful for any help.

Speed that sounds like it might be a close match,Sorry i did'nt get back sooner i kind of gave up there for a little bit. Im in new jersey and my zip code is 08865 when ever you can get back to me with the amount i'll send it out, thanks much Pete.

Thanks for the help, I thought i would of gotten off with a cheap fix, but i guess thows days are gone.

It is made into the printed circuit board behind the speedo and tach. We just sold one this morning because the low air buzzer quit working, I thought they said it cost around 300$. If it were mine I'd try to solder one on.

Does any one know where the low air buzzer on a granite is located, and does the low air and power divider share the same buzzer? I know on the R-models it was in the fuse panel. I just cant seem to find this one! thanks for any help.

Do any of you guys know the best way to adjust your bearings after a brake job.

I have a Dupont color chip book from 1968 showing a Fruehauf red in ether 93-98167H DULUX (enamel) or 98167H DUCO (lacquer), slipjack.
