Is this the truck you work mate? Yes she’s fairly unique. It’s all the dust settled on the roof over the years and it’s all grown grass, and birds dropping seeds 😂

Cant kill a old Bulldog... those r models are getting pretty rare on the roads around here in Texas. Quite a few DM Mixer trucks still around though.

Yeah it goes very well. My mate owns that one. It’s an 88. 16 speed Volvo box with 38 rockwells. It’s 98% rust free which is unusual. I also have a slimline g88 and it’s fairly tidy as well. She’s had the rust cut out and now needs assembly. If the channel grows enough I may do a bit to it for content. I have an 89 aswell and it’s completely rusted out. There are 4 old Volvo trucks here

I’m not sure. I like them all. The white 4000 is good to drive. Not a lot of horses but still good. I really like the slimline/daycab transtar to but she’s not going yet. I’d really like to do this full time so I could drag some up out of the bush and do some restoration jobs on them but I’m a long way off that unfortunately. I only get one day a week to play really

If reverse is on the compound side of the transmission and not in the main box, that is probably an extended range transmission and not a dualplex. Low is only used in first gear, then you shift the main box only.

Yes that’s right. I do correct this further into the video. The compound stick only has low and direct I think.

Hi Steven. The Steel bonnet one does mate, and the red plastic Mack did have but been converted to electric. I remember when we bought that one I took the service truck to charge the air start tank and when I went to start it all the air just flew out underneath. The system was all still there except the starter! I should of looked further into it. Soon as I worked out it was electric it started straight up

Thanks for subscribing mate. Not really Ben, nothing at all serious. I used to social ride the occasional dirt bike many years ago but that’s all. I still have my 1984 kx80 Kawasaki.
