I’m just an old Gal that doesn’t know much about the work you do, but I’m hooked on how you bring these of ancient hunks of iron back to life. I admire and respect the depth of knowledge you and your crew have for restoring life to these machines. My last job was working as a commercial painter for a ship manufacturer, producing fishing boats, US Coast Guard ships, and such items as port hole windows, doors, etc. for high end private yachts. Occasionally a specialized crew would be called out for ‘touch ups’ or repairs on the yachts and took us around the world, which was a true adventure in itself. That job at least gave me the expertise to paint private cars, boats, or ???. Lots of fun for sure! Keep at it guys, as I’m a fascinated follower!

[@nicolegardner8193]

I do like the solo's with Dave! Watching the cogs, and his sense of humour is bloody brilliant. Love to you all on the crew from Australia

[@Deconfrost510]

That would be cool to see the cab be all fixed up. But the controls for that machine are all mechanical linkage directly to the brakes and drive clutches so sadly you cant make them modern. But they are a blast to drive and gives you respect for the guys that drove them for 10 hours plus a day. they are rough to operate.

Keep it just the way it is. Just fix the issues it has back to factory condition and itll work for much longer than most new machines
