It is good thanks Jeff. She won’t be a show piece but will be reliable and useful mate

Thanks Gerald, yeah mate it’s not bad. Will certainly do the job

Thank you Marc

Thank you mate. Yes she does sound magnificent

Gday Matty, she would of been great to drive mate. I know this one certainly is. 3:7s it would of been too quick. She would of been lazy down low lifting off

Indeed mate

Thanks Colin yes they do. I got them off a bloke in a local club that gets them made

Gday Kym, yes it’s a mess that buggy mate, and while replying to you I got a call from them saying the same machine has now done a starter. It certainly is a shame if they are going to wreck the ford mate. Maybe that’s where your collection should start😀. You can’t save them all mate and that’s why I try my hardest to but not always able to whether it’s dollars or distance that stops me. I’ve been using a sikaflex product and gluing either gal or aluminium plate to it. Needs a membrane of some kind inside really. Thanks as always Kym

They should never wear out mate no. I have heard of the detergent mate. Blokes put it in water trucks when spraying haul roads to delay the drying of it. I will try it now you mentioned it

They are a brilliant tool mate. My compressor is a tad small for it but everything you mentioned that you do with yours is exactly why I got mine. The first 2 trucks I did up I bought it for and still have it

@@stevesplacedownunder yeap best thing for wicked smooth paint that stays on even when I use pressure wash on Max heat and full stick , my paint stays put , all industrial 2 pack paint , even red directly from kenworth , to dear so we use this other stuff same paint but it's the manufacturer brand , for kenworth but 5th of the back pocket fucking you get by buying of dealer

@@stevesplacedownunder hey Steve have a look at Maffra truck show video, 2015 to 2017 ,, I had my k100 there and it's on the videos , parked next to old 1800 single drive acco , red with tray and tractor on it , my trucks the white k100 next to it , no rego plate , polished bar

Great to see the water truck getting attention. Nice of you to volunteer work, although I have no idea where you find the time. BTW I came across a guy posting on KZfaq named Bruce in Australia. Do you know him. I think you will find his channel interesting. As always you have a like and my attention. Jim Rioux

Hi mate. Thank you. Yes I watch Bruce and have had a conversation with him through comments. Nice bloke and a great channel he has also

My pleasure

They get excited when they are allowed to drive it and then it cops it. I’m forever working on them mate. Married life is good. Been over 11 years so not a lot different but feels better

I’d love that Ron. I’m certainly going to call in and see you if I’m ever down there mate

Hi mate. I’d love an LTL but they are a collector item like a W Model Kenworth. That’s great that you drove one first off, you went straight to the top. I thought NZ had them. Learn something new every day.

@@stevesplacedownunder there were a few imported unofficially over the years. We got the Ford N series which was just a rebadged Hino instead.

Thank you mate and many happy returns. We are all good and thanks for your concern but we all hope that you are ok. Please look after yourself and your support is always welcomed. Send me your postal address and I will send you something mate. Email in the channel description. Thanks as always brother from another country.

Thanks Norm. Plenty coming mate so I can get the channel rolling again

Gday Daryl thanks as always mate. I like the ones with battle scars that can tell a story. Hope you are both well also

🤠👍@@stevesplacedownunder

No mate. I wasn’t going to run the terrier across the road. It doesn’t hold enough either for that. She did good with fires though

Sweet

Don’t worry about that mate. You just look after yourself. As I said before, email me your postal details

Thank you for sharing your adventures with me it always makes me smile and feel better when you take us on awesome adventures !!! I have adopted yall as family lol !!! Yall are awesome and I look forward to seeing yall every day lol !!!

@stevesplacedownunder I am always waiting to see what you will bring on your channel !!!!! The tractor with the v4 what would you think about a flathead v 8 for it !!!! It would be awesome lol 😆 !!!

Don’t forget to email your details Robert

Hi Scott. Yes she does sound good mate. It’s a good video coming up of me working it. Sounds better loaded. That green truck is an Austin mate. It has only been on one episode when I brought it and a red international home. Back about 12 months. If it was an Emeryville it would be in the house next to my bed. I’d love one. Not a common sight here in Australia now. Same as my red transtar but a cabover. And just imagine one with a load of beer! How wonderful ☺️☺️☺️. Fantastic mate

@@stevesplacedownunder I went back and looked at that video mate . The grille threw me off a bit ! And the colour went from green to blue !

Thank you mate and yes it certainly is down under

Hey Steve how many HP does the old 903 puts out ? Thanks for the video Mate

I couldn’t agree more. All I do is repair these ones

I am busy mate but I like what they do with the animals so I try to help. My wife also volunteers there but with the animals. I just repair their tractors and mowing equipment. The Ford will live again mate yes indeed
