I think I have seen them out the far side of Midland. They are not on the site I work on but may well be on others.

Thats a cool yoke . What engine is in it?

Slidey

4.2 non turbo. It's a bit gutless but chugs along all day.

They need the turbo i think, not so much gutless without it, should still pull a lot just very slow to rev or pick up speed. Lovely sound from them though turbo or non turbo.

Just bought a new toy to play with in the UK while I'm working there.

Looks great Sean.
How old is it?
Any special features?

It's 1973, standard ex British Army Series 3 half ton 12V Lightweight. Only thing special about it is that I borrowed it back in 1992 and piled it into a ditch at 40mph writing it off!!

It then got rebuilt on a new galvanised chassis so is pretty good. It was a culture shock driving one after stepping out of a BMW, can't believe I drove one as an everyday vehicle back in the 80s!

It needs the gearbox replacing, comes with a recon one in the back and the steering needs talking to. The petrol engine is really sweet.

Croplands Rogator 1084, 36m spray boom.


180hp Case, & 325hp Steiger


My own truck, and my work "ute" a 4.2 6cyl non turbo diesel, pulls over 4t of trailer & water tank all day through fields without any kind of struggle, also has on board air & helper airbags on the back.


Brand new (demo model) New Holland harvester, on tracks at the front with a powered rear axle, the lorry is a Western Star, and a John Deere with chaser bin as seen in the next pic also, cant remember the model of it though.

Really really cool 80 Series Landcruiser turned double cab trayback :drool

Got rained off today, and we heard that there was an auction at a farm nearby so we went down for a looksee,

Some really interesting stuff at it!!: :yay

This thing was billed as a home-made tractor, and I guess thats exactly what it was!


This lovely landcruiser sold for just $1500, apparently only had low range working though, was very clean all things considered 8)









A nice versatile


This truck fetched around $20,000, not sure what it is but there was mega interest in it ???


A very very old tractor, im sure someone here will know what it is :wave


A very rotten, very rusty old Holden, made $2000 ::)


Two big Deeres, the harvester got $2500, and the tractor got $17,000 despite the fact that it started to run away when started up just at the selling time

Nice pice, keep them coming!

I think the truck is a Diamond T tank transporter, probably still with it's Hercules petrol engine as that looks like a LPG tank on the side.

I think you may be correct, the engine was indeed a Hercules! Huge interest in it, most popular item of the day by far.

Actually, that home made tractor also had a Hercules engine in it too!!

I will keep em coming, thank you!

Spoke to boss about it just there, and you are indeed Correct Sean, it was a 1942, with working engine and drivetrain, cab was in reasonable nick too! And I was wrong, it fetched 12, not 20 grand..

Saw this wide load today!






The bosses Versatile 1150 - 18.8L 6 cyl cummins - 470HP :cool:
