[@sydneyg007]

Ha! Good one! Hopefully won't be too hard to get her to be ambidextrous again!

Hi, Geoffrey here from Old American Iron. I’m in your beautiful country visiting Steve from Steve’s Place Down Under. Great to see another old neglected machine brought back to life. Headed back home to the States tomorrow. I subscribed so I’ll be following what you’re up to.👍

[@sydneyg007]

Hey Geoffrey. Thanks for the message. I had a look at your channel - Some pretty impressive stuff! Hope you enjoyed your trip.

Brake is used to turn not stop

[@mariebennett5739]

Brakes only need adjusting

[@hurricanedaniel]

Look into adjusting the steering brakes. Or if you cant get that to work before to driver it out. Just use the left brake only, but use reverse for right hand turns. Hope that makes sence

[@sydneyg007]

Yeah, I know what you mean! Actually, that's how the original owner managed to get it in there!

[@hurricanedaniel]

@@sydneyg007 other wise with my old dragline i jam the tracks for a brake sometimes. But need two people for that

[@sydneyg007]

@@hurricanedaniel Ha. Wow. That's next level!

@@sydneyg007 well the old girls from the 40s dont work like they used to

[@debi5292]

Just remember anyone can drive a dozer. But only a handful become true operators.

[@sydneyg007]

Totally agree with that!

Down the glen came McAlpines men like a rake of ball dancers one in ten where DOZER men the rest where bloody chancers good look with the blade😎😎😎@@sydneyg007

How about wearing a pair of work boots to look the part and protect your feet. Those sandals have gotta go😳. They for pool side BBQ only!

[@nikolaidisme2072]

hello friend

[@mattyallen3396]

You get to keep it?

[@sydneyg007]

Yes! There was no way of getting it out without it running/driving so it came as part of the land!
