Quote for today: "The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are now outnumbered by those who vote for a living." Probably really belongs in another thread but while we are sidetracked it doesn't matter I guess Paul

Had this arrive in the mail yesterday, written inside is, "This card just called your name" 😉 Guess some people know me all to well My brother sent me this pic of his ex Army Mack 6x6, he is carting his hay in I think he is quite impressed with the 285 and the 5 speed He wasn't at first, felt a bit gutless and needed more gears, I told him he just has to give it time and learn how to drive it, a Maxidyne is a bit different than a normal motor, dunno why Im trying to even explain that on here Have been watching a video on the history of tripple digit large cars and chicken haulers Anyway another video for you lot, started this youtube channel first and promptly forgot my password lol See yah Paul

So whats this song called, you can tell Im as keen as mustard to get edumacted here Paul

No doubt the driver had a hot load freight and dropped to many yippie beans That freight is getting thru, maybe he thinks he is working for the pony express and nothings gunna stop him I laugh the hardest when the drivers grabbing gears dragging that van, he aint stuffing about Paul

Yes he or she or 1 of the other 27 genders is a fully certified "SUPER TRUCKER" I really need to lift my game Paul

I have video evidence that this not the case They can go multiple different directions m, up, down, forwards and backwards God bless Merica !!!! Paul

Welcome aboard Paul

What music video ? All I get is a picture Now some useless information as thats about all Im good for The Australian coat of arms has a red kangaroo and a emu holding it up Yeah bare with me, anyway these two animals can only move forward, they can't move backwards unless a bullbar on a Mack trucks pushing them lol So we have these two animals on our coat of arms, because we as a country and as Australians should always be moving forwards Talk about getting side tracked and not even in the side tracked thread 🦘🦘 Paul

Does this happen often and we dont see it or is it fairly rare Paul

There yah go, all sorted and you uploaded it and all Well done Perhaps these jokers dont know they gotta down load it first and then play it on their phone or computer or what ever they use Paul

Yeah Brocky your right What I guess a lot of people in the States dont understand is just how hard it was to get good trucks for many many years after WW2 in Australia and even more so NewZealand The Kiwis really were the masters of custom rebuilding of trucks for many decades, NewZealand was broje after WW2 and there was like Australia huge import duties for countries out of the Commonwealth Pommy trucks never quite cut it in the colonies, so ex army US trucks were used and rebuilt and modified for at a guess, up to 30 years of age Paul

Snowing and rain, not on your Nelly, 40C or 100 and a bit in the old money We have breeze this morning so thats a welcome change from yesterdays hot still air My mates truck bogged a few years ago in south west QLD Goldie reckons the supplier of wheel bearings and seals was pretty happy with him 😃 And not my video But this is when I picked the boy up at mid night to surprise the Princess for her birthday, we hadn't seen the Curley kid in nearly 2 years thanks tonthe China virus Stopped for fuel at 4am, was a long night and yeah the Princess was shocked with the freight I had collected, but she did forgive me for the lies leading up to her surprise Paul

A tripple in flood water And yes it's not my photo Paul

Yes it's true, I am officially jealous How cool is that ? I'll answer that, bloody cool Thanks sharing Paul

No fear, I gave a good solid thump thump thump as I new he would be sleeping, took a while and when the driver appeared I said "HEY MISTER CAN I TAKE A PHOTO FOR THE FORUM" 😂 Passed him later in the day at Gunbower Paul

Sounds like a ground connection problem, or as suggested water is in somewhere it shouldn't be Paul

That was the one I was thinking of But maybe I dunno my ass from elbow Saw this little road train parked up this morning whilst out and about in the wee small hours Baxters from Berrigan Baxters are becoming quite the sizable operation for by Australian standards, well over 50 trucks now Paul

And todays offering Paul

Surely they have heard of Mount Saint Helen as I have as I reckon most people I speak to in Australia would of heard of this big bang or series of big bangs Paul

And now for something that isnt mine and has nothing to do with pies and rhubarb A video thats not mine and not from my country but flogged borrowed and shared for all ig your enjoyment Happy days everyone Gunna be well over a 100 in the old money today here Paul

Healing quick and still a serious frown, maybe someone one has put you in the naughty corner and you have the sulks Paul

Well I'm not gunna say much as I don't know bugger all I think getting truck to run will be easy but getting everything else to work is it should, guages etc is gunna be a headache and a half But if it is not gunna do much road work is that gunna be a concern? Good luck with it and keep us posted Vee belts can be a fair bit missaligned before theres huge issues, plenty of farm machinery has left the factory nor even close and belts doing a full flip to run the next pulley the reverse direction You've got this Even just get some cheap mechanical guages to get you moving and sorted Speedo can be a phone gps type of deal Tacho you dont need Oil pressure and water temp and amp guage really is all you need to get moving and sortbthe rest out in the future Paul

In the South Australian captial Adelaide as the young bucks stagger out of night clubs and bars heading home after a big night they would get a pie floater to help sort them out for the journey home A pie floater is the normal upside down meat pie, which no one is sure has actual meat in it Anyway it is served upside down on a bed of mushy peas and covered on tomato sauce, just the ticket to set you right after a big night on the turps It looks better in the photo than it does coming back up on the foot path at 2.00 am I have been told Happy days everyone Paul

Never heard of rhubarb pudding but rhubarb and apple stewed and sevred with ice cream , now that's the ticket on a cold night or hot night or anyother night Plum puddings out here are steamed and had on Christmas day with brandy custard these days, should be as heavy as lead and sit right your stomach Paul
