Yep it’s hard to know what to keep! I will fix up the things that don’t need heaps of labour for a start and keep a few things but most will have to be sold to keep the bank balance in check!

The Grove crane is a 471 you can tell by the rocker cover bolts are around the outside 71 series has the bolts from the top so did the 92 series I would love to see one of those 16 V 71 in a truck that would be awesome. They Sounds so good. 😊That Louis with the 3208 that's a good find
@dieseldownunder.4 ай бұрын
Hey mate so is it a 453 or 71? I always get mixed up between the two if 471 have boots through the top then this one should be a 453 because it has the screws around the outside? The 16v71 would look good in that little cabover kenworth I’ve got I reckon! Thanks for watching mate!
@johno69634 ай бұрын
@@dieseldownunder. Sorry I said 471 I meant to say 453. They have the bolts around the outside of the rocker cover which that one does, 71 series has them down from the top in the centre of the rocker cover and yes you're right. I was thinking the same thing that 16v71 would look good in that cab over Kenworth that you've. got.

Nice, there were some gems in that yard. But when an engine hasn’t ran for years is it wise to start and rev it straight away? Especially not knowing what the cylinders look like, or if it’s about to suck a heap,of crap or water in?
@dieseldownunder.4 ай бұрын
Hey mate there sure was! Which one was that? I think the crane I gave it abit of a rev we checked all the filters ect before starting so knew that it should be ok, we had been trying to prime it up for quite a while so it had fired on a number of occasions for 10-15 seconds it wasn’t the first start, it’s just hard to show everything in the videos without making them too long Cheers

@@dieseldownunder. all good mate I know not everything’s filmed so shouldn’t of brought it up. I was just surprised about how much of the gear started straight up especially the 3208, did the owner day everything should start or were you going into it thinking everything would most likely be scrap?

In fitzory crossing I arive on a site. With the same old ford. Duct tape the water hose. 1 km to the tip. Concrete yard in derby wa. Then owner say drive to fitzory crossing. 300km away. In 45dc temp. I beg. Put low loader. No in tow ute and trailer. Water oil fuel. Front window rusted out. What killed it no dash . And intera hot water vale failed. All the water ran away. And i cracked the heads. Reales bracks. Pull axle. Hard line connection. Tow 250 km to fitzory crossing. Old ford will not tie if not for humans hehe.
