  3. Yep nuns pi$$ more likely to be "green hand grenades (VB) or barbed wire (XXXX) or once the night gets going we might get paid a visit from the bear ( Bundaberg Rum ) right then down to the reason you blokes drive on the wrong side of the road in the good old US of A is because back when the horseless carriage was first around all you blokes had was dirt roads in towns and when you drove down the road on the same side as us but when you stopped to get out you pulled over to the wrong side of the road to get out so you stepped out with out stepping in the mud so pretty soon you silly buggers were all driving on the wrong side of the road but there was a problem you yanks kept on getting into accidents pulling out into traffic as roads had improved you all just started putting the steering wheel on the other side so pretty soon you driving on the wrong side steering from the wrong side but it all seemed normal until WW2 at least thats the way it was told to me on a TV show once I do stand to corrected on all this Paul
  4. do you no why you lot drive on the wrong side of the road ?
  5. mate for that kind of money you cant go wrong I would think main thing to watch out for is rust in the cab and chassis if its double rail good luck Paul
  6. Ok just in case you lot thought I was pulling a shifty and giving you all a bum steer about Mack trucks and heavy haulage heres the back cover of the book to see the rest you will have to buy pure porn front cover to the back best stick mag you blokes would have read in years Paul

  8. are these electric gauges if so might just have a crook ground common to the gauges that arent working Paul
  9. Well good to see you are living the dream I was once told by some one much smarter than me that if you can find a job you love you never have to work another day in your life Im guessing that would be you at the moment ENJOY IT you lucky bugger Paul
  10. Thanks fellas I didnt no that the states of canada made RHD trucks I wouldnt have thought there would be any call for them but it shows how little we know about what went on back in the day Steve it's amazing the conditions which we worked trucks under even as late as 70's and 80's things have improved a lot in the last 30 years or should I say roads have improved a lot it dosnt surprise me these scoops blocked back in the day here in Australia as I dont think anywhere else in the world had conditions like here Mick in the book on Dales those R 700,s are in there good read that book you blokes will have to get some one to stick a copy under the chrissy tree for you Paul
  11. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=902769693096380&fref=nf I gotta laugh Paul
  12. I was just wondering Mick because I had never seen or heard of the R models with a bonnet scoop I was just trying to educate my self most likely a waste of time these days Paul
  13. Welcome aboard Josh gotta say the R model is a lot more driver friendly than the B model good luck with what ever you get Paul
  14. donkey dick you wish good onya tripod
  15. SWISHY YOUVE DONE IT AGAIN IT CANT OF BEEN ME I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH
  16. UM whats double hump isnt it something out of a doctor suess book ?
  17. better watch little bits getting caught in between big bits ouch !!!
  18. Ive used PAI in the gear box never had a problem Paul
  19. I hope it all works for you good luck sounds like you have jumped in boots and all so to speak only advice I can offer is money is easy to spend and hard to get but Im guessing you already know that and should have bought an R model Mack with a Maxidyne cheap to buy and cheap to run but its to late now Paul
  20. WOW they come in all the colours of the rainbow
  21. I dunno what you blokes are complaining about put some more clothes on or work harder Mate if I keep on taking clothes off on a hot day to stay cool the police are called you lot have it soooo easy Paul
  22. OK all I thought I better add some pictures of these Kiwi R models that I was talking about the thing that I found unusual was that I always thought or should I say assumed that Kiwi Macks would have come from Mack Australia but having never seen any R models with bonnet scoops in Australia I thought I would ask the question which only Mick replied and not saying he is wrong but I cant imagine they would import into Kiwi land from the states when just across the ditch they make RHD Macks as big as you want and also I was under the impression from reading through posts here that only Aussie R models had the four headlights I could have all of this wrong and most likely have anyway hope you all enjoy the pictures ok these first two pictures are from the book "Heavy Haulage by Dales" top read that book I have read the print off it my type off book more pictures than words bottom picture stolen from the road ranger blog I put a link up else were the other day Trev the blog man says its ok to use any of his pics as long as we give him credit done deal interesting Blog thingo to look at
  23. fantastic to keep our records if only just to look back and see how much has changed I remember and laugh at myself about when the Princess and I bought our first farm $180,000.00 man I lost sleep over such a huge amount of money and debt we took on 25 years you have gotta be pretty chuffed about that I know I would be thanks for sharing Paul
  24. Is that one of them new fangled low center of gravity belly dump trailers looks like a flash bit of gear Paul
  25. welcome mate I reckon your onto the problem the fuel filter I dont think the air filter will be the problem and you will be glad you dont have a twin stick trust me they might look the part but what you have is much easier to drive shame about the GM though at least you wont fall asleep LOL Paul
