welcome mate Paul

I would think about 12 feet is the standard for processed logs out here only a guess though

not quite 30 years ago 1986 Freedom of the city for our local Army reserve unit (Colac) wasnt old enough to be in Army reserve I was in the Army Cadets and was on honor guard party think it was called anyway had to meet and great all the powers that be and escort them in to the function at the town hall Loved doing all this stuff as a kid reckon every kid should do it good to learn from a young age the world doesnt revolve around you Our local unit was the 39 battery they had 2 Mack 6x6 and each had a 155 Howitzer and the other unit from Geelong had 4 trucks and guns Paul

this my type of thing OH yeah baby Paul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54rdpFXhyb0

oops !!!! I know what you will be looking for under your Christmas tree LOL Paul

MAAAAAAAAAAAAATE very cool Paul

I would have thought the Benz would have been a bit thin on the ground in the States had plenty in this wide brown land and they had a really good name easily do 1000000 miles without major problems not sure if they are that good today though great yarn keep it coming Paul

sounds like a plan but some fool put your steering wheel on the wrong side LOL

good onya JT wouldnt worry about shifting skills slow right down dont race the gears you have plenty of time to get to the next gear watch the tacho and it will slip on thru no noise nothing with out using the clutch at all most blokes only use the clutch when taking off the old Road Ranger is very easy to shift just dont rush it steady steady once you get it happening you will find when you have no trailer on you can skip most of the gears and still change with no clutch Dont push the clutch all the way to the floor it will activate the clutch brake and grind the gears if it has a clutch brake fitted good luck with the sale Paul

Yeah very common out here on all types of trucks out back road trains to interstate to farm trucks hauling sugar cane and well they go as good as anything else some say even better Paul

Lanz Bulldog made highway tractors as well as farm tractors I didnt know they went that quick though very cool Chamberlain tractors (Aussie tractors) made real quick tractors they had one that was used on the Redex rallies around Australia Tail end Charlie

YES YES AND YES as I have been saying on here for some time a lot can learnt from your Australian cousins but and its a big BUT the US have to stop telling customers what they want and start to listen to what the customer is asking for end of the day the only time we look at getting something different is when what we have doesnt suit us any more The big lesson to be learnt is if you cant sell what you are making dont blame everyone else maybe you just arent making what they want Paul

I dont think its her pussy Paul

I had a C60 with the wait for it the BIG 292 Mexican six 5 speed single speed diff not many were ever sold in Australia they all came from Canada for import duty reasons Paul

Ha Ha Ha living life generally sucks any enjoyment out of life it self LOL I was told by someone older and wiser than me life is ass about when your young and full of go your skint (cash poor) when you finally have the money your told to enjoy it LOL Im still waiting for the money part Welcome mate good old AMC dont see much of that left on Aussie roads now days you next toy wont be far away Paul

Gudday and welcome as said above people on here seem to be able to help with most things Paul

You will be giving these blokes here wet dreams with these photos and stories glad its working out good for you not that I ever doubt it would Paul keep the happy snaps coming

Fuel is meant to drain back to the tank its the way it is designed to work the fuel gets siphoned back thru the return line when the truck isnt running hence the fact it looses prime The so called check valves in in the transfer pump arent to hold the fuel up to the motor they are just to supply fuel when running Paul

gudday Andy Dont know much about them 8 stud rims most people use spiders (daytons I think you blokes call them) out here plenty of power for dragging a dozer around Oh yeah welcome mate Paul

mate I didnt read it all what hope has the US got when the people at the top are to spineless to call things what they are surely with events unfolding around the world these gutless wonders at the top need to stop pussyfooting around and call a spade a spade and to hell with what the rest of the world thinks and lead with whats true and right Yeah yeah I know Im not a yank but this crap gives me the jimmy brits and we have the same weak people running our show I was talking to a good friend the other day about how to fix the show and he and I agreed look back to when we were going good replicate it !!! After all it worked and worked well it made countries like ours the envy of the world and I can tell you it wasnt done with weak spineless leaders it was done with men yes men (and Im not sexist but it was men) that had vision on how things should and could be done to benefit all sorry for my rant but Im getting a bit dagged off with these so called wanna be leaders Paul

I was told by some one much smarter than me that when this happens its the return line to the tank as there is no check valve in system and it siphons back around till the pressure is equal when its not running if this makes any sense Paul
