Outback car wreck hunting at abandoned cattle stations.

Dad and I go and check out two old abandoned cattle stations on the hunt for some more wrecks and old treasures.

Was an m3 lee/grant tank ww2 considering it's value I'd bet that tank chassis has probably gone off to be used for parts and that particular tank didn't have that engine it would have had a 9 cylinder radial engine originally

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

Wow thanks for the info mate. I wonder what this big old lump came out of then?

[@xacoupeguy]

@@AutomotiveKarnage no idea but it was common place for farmers to "bathtub" the old tanks and replace the motors with stuff that's more reliable and old radial engine isn't the best engine for a farmer's home made bulldozer haha

[@BIGRIG2005.]

@@AutomotiveKarnage the engine looks like an old Gardner 6l diesel motor. You should definitely get that, it’d be worth a mint today. Being a Gardner it would probably fire straight up too if not seized or in bad nick!

[@shonacannons4836]

Awesome and entertaining as usual. You are starting to get me interested in bush wrecks.

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

Glad to hear it!

[@AUmarcus]

The series one Land Rover petrol engines had a "inlet over exhaust" valve arrangement....1.6L and 2.0L versions. The diesel 2.0L had a conventional OHV arrangement.

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

how cool, thank you.

Might have to wrangle them all up and ship them back home.

Way the fuck over here in the Idaho Rockies I'm enjoying your video's Mate! 11:18 The Land Rover engine is known as an "F" head design, the Willys Jeep had that same style back in the 50's too.

[@David167projects]

In relation to the engine at 10:38 It is called a F head motor. I was told that the inlet is overhead and exhaust is side valve. As the intake is only pushed in at atmospheric pressure (14psi) it is best to go in a more straight line to the piston. But because the exhaust is pushed out under pressure it can turn the corner to go out the side valve. (But some engines may have exhaust at top and inlet at side.

[@kevincave1991]

Love watching your videos 🙌🙌

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

Glad you like them!

[@thecarwreckhunter]

next project a tank powered Ford Prefect? great videos as always mate

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

hahaha that's about just stupid enough for me to try. i love it.

[@dmwzone]

its a triumph scooter 250cc

[@andysaunders3708]

Ooops - I should have waited for your Dad...

[@KtmHoleShot]

Well done mate great job. Nice view from the drone,

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

yeah still learning how and when to use it. but some good footage will start to find its way in to the videos.

[@KtmHoleShot]

@@AutomotiveKarnage yes nice to see you are using my suggestions with the drone. I love using mine drone. Look forward for your next video. 👍

[@australia3913]

I use to own a farm and a torana that was at the back of it was a snakes nest so I never went near it

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

That is a good reason to not touch a Torana lol

[@mullerandre95]

Get a hold of the series Land Rover firewall, you can sell that if it's not all rusted up. A new galvinised one will set you back 2000 pound sterling.

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

There is another stash of Landys I found that have a few good parts on them. Now how to get them to the UK?

[@mullerandre95]

@@AutomotiveKarnage fedex/DHL 😁. But let the buyer pay for the transport.

[@lomasck]

I was invited to look at a Station Junk yard in 1989 west of Mount Magnet .HK Monaro 3 off HP blocks just sat on the ground & so on.I got Badges GMH off a Truck. I wanted the BSA 500 single rigid frame but he would not sell.

[@ianbell735]

If the firewall in the old landy is not rusted it could be worth a bit

[@stephenduston1606]

Ford PREFECT wrecks . Thanks very much Can you please show some more old Ford's. Anglia . Popular .etc also. Do you have any videos with old English fords thanks.

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

Will try mate, but we find what we find. Its a mixed bag out there.

[@andysaunders3708]

Scooter's a Triumph.

[@andthen.3180]

These are awesome!!!!

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

Glad you like them!

[@andysaunders3708]

Commer, or Morris Commercial?

[@finnan4196]

great work with the videos mate!

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

Thanks a lot!

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Cool finds bro

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

Something a bit different.

[@pangaute]

Hey mate, another great vid. Have you considered getting a decent drone to help you search through the scrub

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

Thanks for watching. Yea I have a DJI Phantom that I am still learning how to use.

[@vintagetintrader1062]

That Land Rover engine, quite a few manufactures did engines like that built from the older side valve engine blocks, leave the intake valves in the block as they were in a side valve engine but the exhaust valve was removed from the block and a push rod was put in its place to operate a now OHV exhaust valve. Jeep/Kaiser/Willys did this with the Go Devil engine and created the ‘f’ head engine. Was a way to get more power from a side valve based engine.

[@ocelot2234]

A lot of restorable cars

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

definitely some good parts and bodys out here.

[@1953beetle]

The Morris (?) truck would've made a nice rat rod project.

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

now that is a fantastic idea.

[@dillontobin6521]

Hi it's a triumph tiger scooter :)

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

so it is! thanks for the tip.

[@alphaone3704]

Who cares, your out there and I’m still in lockdown. If you want any animals I’ll go!! 😀😀😀😁😁😁🤪🤪🤪😛😛😜😜

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

I figured that's why I better start filming again.

[@andysaunders3708]

That's an L-head. See an early Land Rover 4 cylinder.

[@alphaone3704]

Yeah bro ah..😁😁😁😁😂😂😂

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

Cheers dude

[@burnoutsandshenanigans7893]

Prob make decent coin on scrap around there

[@AutomotiveKarnage]

no doubt. just need a truck big enough to make it worth while.
