Thread: Any ex NZ forest service fellas here?

We were at Totara Flat (Westcoast) late 70's.
They had a couple for the tractor drivers. Rod the mechanic repowered them with small 4cly motors as the 2 strokes went bang very quickly.
On one occasion he hid one in the oil store. Used a couple of wood blocks & backed it up onto the truck deck height landing & into the shed.
The driver refused to drive it back out when it was shown to him. Probably 1.2 - 1.5m up. Wouldn't believe they hadn't lifted it in. :-)
Bit tippy if you weren't careful.
