Good morning Steve good to see you back from Bali,wow I've heard of riding brakes but that little buggy is a wreck,I was at lonsdale on the weekend and Sims metal have a complete Lnt9000 twin stacks so I guess 903 it's sitting in front of the building I guess waiting to be wrecked Sad.so I'm very happy that you have a Louie on the road still,and your water tank maybe a fibre glass patch job might be the go,I think it would be a challenge trying to weld it haha ,as always enjoyed this content Cheers Kym Adelaide
@stevesplacedownunder9 ай бұрын
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

Brakes on that little wagon should last a lifetime .Get a couple litres of detergent from ALDI and stick it your fire wagon makes a huge difference .Real fancy add a compressor bit fiddly but makes a great line to burn off
@stevesplacedownunder9 ай бұрын
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

The needle gun is my favourite tool for stripping scale crusty rust and awesome for fast stripping to bare clean surface entire chassis diffs and malco spiders , sander where you can and scotch bite heavy by hand all after chipped with needle gun , needle gun and air nozzle to see everything gets chipped so it blows off with air or basic sanding or scrubbing

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

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.

Good to see whats happening at your place mate ! Was a good ride down back to dump the tank . That v-8 Cummins has a unique sound . I know we had them here , but I dont believe they were very popular for whatever reason . When you were hooking up the trailer I saw an old International green in colour sitting across the way . Have you shown us that truck ? Looks like what we called an Emeryville up here . My dad drove these in the early 60's hauling beer from Detroit ! Haven't seen one in a while ! Thanks again mate . Scott 🌵
@stevesplacedownunder9 ай бұрын
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

That’s really cool of you to fix/service the side by side for the animal reserve, Steve. I know you’re a busy guy, so that’s really good of you to do! As for the Ford, I’m glad to see her getting the attention she deserves. I know it sucks but it was kind of funny when you said you tried to just scratch the paint to mark that little hole and then you showed it with water GUSHING out haha sorry, mate, I don’t meant to laugh at ya. Thanks for sharing the video and I hope you can get the tank repaired alright. Take care, matey.
