Carting house sections with a V8 Mack

In this video, I put together snippets of videos and photos from the last couple of months carting house sections to northern and western NSW. The work has kept me pretty busy, and has made it hard to get new material together to make a video for the channel, so I thought I’d give you an insight into the work I’ve been doing.
Thanks for having a look guys 🙏🏻

Thanks Dave ! Always a pleasure to see what you are up to . Modular houses are interesting . And for those of us in other places , we get to see Australia ! Thanks , Scott 🌵

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

Thanks Scott 🙏🏻 I agree mate, the process of building, splitting, transporting and fitting the modules together again is really interesting. And it’s a great way to see some new places

Thanks for watching it mate, I’m glad it brought back some memories

[@oldamericaniron5767]

Great video, good to catch up on what you are up to. It sounds good when you say it great fun to do it, not everyone gets to enjoy their work.👍

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

Thanks Geoffrey 🙏🏻 I’m glad you enjoyed it mate. Yes when you can enjoy your work it makes the days seem easier.

Gday Dave, it good to see and hear you’ve been busy, Sutto’s valveliner brings back memories of them bloody plastic nuts coming loose on the air cleaner lid, interesting work shifting houses, throughly enjoyed watching mate, cheers

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

Thanks Matty 🙏🏻 Those plastic nuts are good when they’re new but they strip quite easily. They’re good with a 5/16” UNC heli-coil in them, they never strip. I’m glad you enjoyed the video mate

Awesome job Dave, Keep up the great work, From kiwi land

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

Thanks Alan🙏🏻 will do mate

[@alanlanghorn9528]

Some big jobs you done with the house moves used to similar but with old houses been cut in half and moved to different sites also swimming pools moving them to jobs they were fun to get in sites has the houses had been built and people putting pools in power wires were a pain to work around sometimes cranes had to lift over house roofs to get them into the back yards .keep up the good work .

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

Thanks Alan, I’ll keep at it. It’s an interesting job. The company I work for are supplying houses to government organisations, they haven’t really chased too much work in the private market.

[@robertstevison1448]

Awesome morning brother from another country down under how are yall doing another awesome adventure as always brother awesome rigs from an awesome channel great to see you again

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

G’day Robert I’m going well thanks mate. Thanks so much for your support mate 🙏🏻

[@robertstevison1448]

@oldrigsdownunder7301 thanks brother from another country down under I enjoy watching you and Steve the videos are awesome

[@kymw7833]

Dave nice to see where you been hiding ,the V8 sounds good ,interesting how they unload the houses they used to use jacks and sit them on Besser blocks ,saw a lot delivered in the late 70,s and early 80,s in Clare and Burra when i was living in the area.where are those houses built Broken Hill!!. Thanks for a very interesting video Kym Adelaide

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

I’ve had the V8 for a while now Kym, but I’ve only just recently made some modifications to the exhaust. These houses might be unloaded with jacks in the future, but the crane makes easy work of it now. Some of the sites are difficult to get a truck into. You wouldn’t be able to back extended trailers into the block at Broken Hill.

[@turtleboy4111]

And don't overturn one of them FH16 they shift left to right rather quickly, easy to loose your B-trailer whilst reversing. If you're aware of this though, they'll be very friendly to you, unless 24v electrical systems hate you... Like they do me 😂 Great video Dave, I appreciate seeing something that's not just general freight on on freighter tautliners, thanks mate, Dave - Hume Transport Albury

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

I think those FHs were a pretty good truck weren’t they? They would be pretty comfortable. Haha 24V could be challenging. Good on you Dave, I appreciate your comment, I’m glad you liked the variety. I wasn’t sure how it would come across 🙏🏻

[@turtleboy4111]

@@oldrigsdownunder7301 mechanically the FH16 were a really reliable truck. Electrically not so much, that's all we ever seem to find with them is a million and one electronic faults. Never seem to do anything else on them aside from dropping some oils and changing some filters. The video came out great mate, rather enjoyable. Thanks again Dave 😁

[@davidforbes6250]

Been waiting. No dog should leave the kennel in 47 cel.

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

Thanks for your patience mate 🙏🏻

[@alandawson2813]

So Dave did or do you have two trucks carting the moduler homes?

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

Yes Alan, I’ve had 2 trucks carting these modules around. The Ultraliner and the CHR. The Valueliner belongs to a mate, I used it when the Iltraliner broke down.

[@brianinmelb8427]

Those E9 V8 always sound freakin awsome … never gets old …440 or 500hp ?
