  1. How you goin mate? Your RD looks great. Why are they called an RD? Here in Australia they are just an R. Mine is an R615RS, the R meaning right hand drive and the S is for a 6 wheel tractor. I havent got mine to the stage in your photos, but its coming together slowly. Did you split the chassis rails on yours?
  2. Ive never heard of a conversion, I think the old Thermodynes had 20 head studs instead of the Maxidyne's 18. I think the liner flange is also different on the Thermodyne, There is possibly a kit available with Maxidyne liners and a newer style head gasket. Im not sure, can anyone confirm or can that for me?
  3. Got a couple sitting on the shelf in Sydney mate. Lookin at about $105 AuD. Got V8(E9) rockers in stock also. Cheers
  4. Which rocker do you need mate? Whole assembly? with/without shaft? Ill check out here tomorrow for you
  5. How are you mate? Are these your Flinstones? And Im guessin youre from the lucky country. Good lookin old jiggers. Ive got a couple with V8s in them but theyre both out of action and in the process of restoration.
  6. Good onya mate, hope you got Bill sorted out! Im guessing that is your B model pictured.....
  7. Good to hear Doug. One problem that ive found with the 3 engines I have is that theyve all cracked and/or chipped a piece of the block out on the bottom right hand side where the flywheel housing bolts on. Have you ever heard of this happening? One was running when I bought the truck but it had water in the oil and it grabbed a main bearing. Im hoping to make 2 engines out of 3. Have you got trucks yourself mate?
  8. Gday how are we all? Im skip from Australia and Im lookin foward to hearing your yarns and information. Ive got 2 R615RS prime movers. Unfortunately neither are going, but arent far away. Both are undergoing complete restorations. Both have quad boxes and 864A V8s. Quite difficult to find parts for them out here
