Thread: Lets See The Transport havn a Oops moment

Engine failure, Cat 3512 from a 785D hall truck.

That gentlemen is what’s know in the trade as a “leg out of bed”
Had that happen to me in a 64 EH Holden at 80mph, locked up the diff went sideways. Had to think quick and hit the clutch to get it straight again.

Cleaned my farm truck for the first time in 14 years !

Daughter wants me to take her to her wedding in it next weekend.
She asked that I clean inside and didn't push for the outside also.
Well i thought I would be a loving dad and over achieve.
So i rashly decided to waterblast and clean the outside to

I see people in town doing it all the time.
Figured it must be quite enjoyable and maybe even enlightening

WTF is it about.
Lost on me.
Decided they might do it because they don't have guns to clean.
Or if they do have guns then they don't have enough guns to clean.

There were a hell of a lot of scratches under all that dirt.
So i had to polish ( well I will admit to having car polish but it was for my engineering machines. Makes it easier to clean off cutting oil and swarf) the whole thing to fill in some of the scratches.

Anyway I might have a little joke somewhere in there to kick off my speech with.

Now I better get on line and see where I can pick up some new front seat covers urgently. These ones are beyond cleaning.

Cheers

Ha nice. I washed the Dad in laws farm ute the other day and blew it out with the compressor, first time since he bought it new in 97 he reckons! Did the same to his tractor too, found his pocket knife under all the dust and straw in the cab, which he "lost" about 5 years ago

This corner has some funny collection point for those that can’t handle the speed

Someone getting it wrong at the Ben Nevis hillclimb last weekend... (there actually wasn't too much damage and he had it fixed up and back out having another go the next day)
