[@stevesplacedownunder]

Gday Mate. Yeah I think so. Just the history alone in it is worth saving. I’ve near got her going mate so I will air that when I finish that video. Thanks Matty

[@cantwellron11]

Old girl sounds awesome

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Sure does Ron

[@neilhansen9886]

Another great video Steve👍

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks Neil

[@marcduthie4327]

Cool old tractor

[@jimmyjazz9014]

Don't recall ever see any Chamberlains here in NZ in agricultural applications but they were popular in industrial work - loaders,forklifts and T lifts.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate. I would of thought they would of made it there as a tractor but not something I’ve ever thought about either. Being a close country I would of thought they would of had a market over there

[@fredfrancis80]

You got to get it going as long as it doesn't cost you to much awesome stuff

[@stevesplacedownunder]

She will go mate. Just needs a rear wheel rim. It’s rusted out

[@robertstevison1448]

She sounds like a big Ole lion roaring lol !!! Awesome oh yea !!!!!

[@stevesplacedownunder]

There was a real lion in this episode. Did you hear it?

[@THELASTLINEOFDEFENCE]

Came back to start of build, man what a difference, you almost turned her into a garden onement.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

That’s all it was to start with mate yes

[@jackandrew311]

Love your channel Steve only just subscribed today. Looking forward to watching more great videos mate. Fantastic to see someone taking pride in old trucks and other classics

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate thank you for watching and subscribing. It really helps me. There’s plenty more videos to come and plenty of old ones to go back through also. I try and save what I can and what is in my reach.

[@no2thenwo737]

Even if it sits forever as a yard ornament, it was worth it just to see the Kenworth out stretching her legs. We can only hope you can breathe some life back into the old Chamberlain someday. Prayin hard for a miracle.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate. The old Kenworth loved it but wasn’t really far enough for her. You must of been praying hard for it mate because good news coming up for it

[@wheelhorsesaustralia9466]

Hey Steve loved the video keep up the great work mate

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thank you mate I plan too.

[@qdenistanner8811]

Love too see you save that one I remember going to Bullins Animal World when I was a little kid probably mid Seventies great memory thanks for that.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

She will be saved mate. Yes it was a big thing in the area in those days

[@brettjones5041]

Goodluck Mate keep hydrated me old man had a Chamberlain backhoe with the Perky

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks Brett, always hydrated mate. They were a good thing in their day

[@kymw7833]

Hey Steve how ya doing mate,the old Detroit sounded sweat ,i think i mentioned to you my cousin drove one just like your Adelaide /Perth in the 70,s for Ansett freight ,can you imagine listening to that sceaming GM all the way to Perth Lol,cant wait to see the old crane fire up mate ,nice to see the wife getting involved as your camera operator ,well stay safe old mate Cheers kym Adelaide

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Kym yes I’m going well mate, hope you are also. You may have told me about this before. Blokes used to do it indeed, before my time though. This one is Comet. The crane will go mate. I had her close that weekend I picked it up but all the batteries went flat and I haven’t been back near it . She gets involved sometimes mate yes. All the best Kym

[@IchliebeHunde58]

Fuck, I can’t get enough of that 2 stroke Detroit sound. Well, if you get the Chamberlain home and absolutely can’t get it started, it will make a neat lawn ornament at the very least; I have faith with it having a Perkins you’ll get it to run. Those bench seat, offset steering Chamberlains are really neat, so good on ya, Steve (and Mrs. Steve!)

[@stevesplacedownunder]

She does sound good mate doesn’t she. The chamberlain will go mate. I’ve got the engine close. If it goes I will get it to a usable stage

[@jeffdayman8183]

The Kenny sounded great Steve! Nice run to get the 6G crane. Very few things in the romantic world that can't be improved by burning a few gallons of diesel....8^) Howdy to Georgina, Jay, and your Dad. Good that the engine's turning over, look forward to the next video! Cheers.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

It does sound good Jeff indeed. It was a good little run and was well worth it from what we’ve already achieved with it. I will say hello for you mate

[@neilmcintosh1200]

You did right to pen it up in the shed. If ever it escaped you would have the devil of a job to find it again with that excellent camouflage......

[@stevesplacedownunder]

It would hide very well with everything down the back Neil yes

[@darylstorer3369]

Thanks Steve. The boss and I enjoyed it as usual. Good to see you taking the bride along with you. Saves having to tell how it all went when you get home😆All the best you and your lot cobber.🤠

[@stevesplacedownunder]

My pleasure Daryl. Great to see you are both watching, that is great. I try to involve her where I can mate but she’s not always interested. All the best mate

[@nickhill3362]

Another great piece of garden furniture Steve 👍

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks as always Nick

[@zonie1953]

Lots of good stuff for me here mate ! A sunday ride to rescue an old machine . In a Detroit powered truck in NSW , cant get much better in my book ! 🌵

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Scott im glad you liked it mate. There’s plenty more to come on this one, and a lot already recorded.

[@peterrenouf-shermer5261]

Great to see you back again I look forward to seeing the 6g running 👍🙏

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thank you mate. It will be going in no time

[@oldamericaniron5767]

Definitely worth saving in my book. At least it was easy loading, made up for what it took to load the Zetor, Ford truck and V8s out in the bush awhile back. Was a great way to spend this snowy Sunday morning in Wisconsin. First Pete-Mate and the Steve’s Place Down Under. 👍

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate. It was very easy to load. Most things are worth saving. I’ve got it close to running but my batteries all went flat and haven’t had a chance to go back near it. This weekend she will be running

[@brycechessum4684]

I turned the volume u for the ride in your K wobble great noise the old Detroit 2 stroke,, the old erkins turns likely it will start

[@Zealdave2223]

There is no sneaking around town at 2 am with an old two stroke. Even the town folk in the next town would know you were out. lol But you have to love that 2 stroke scream weather the driver or the neighbours.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks Bryce. She sounds beautiful mate indeed. The Perkins was close to going but all the batteries went flat and I haven’t had a chance to go back near it

[@holdenbrougham1056]

We've got one of these too with all panels and a grill, if interested I'll ask my boss , we put new tyres on front and back big bastards, we have 5 chamberlain tractors and international special model diesel 2 chamberlain and international are finished , next is chamberlain 6354 engine again and cabin with glass too basic short roof , other has Queenslander long roof

[@stevesplacedownunder]

I’m interested in most things at the right price. Im a bit of a chamberlain fan mate, haven’t got many though. Got 3 and possibly going to get one more over the next few months. It sounds like you have a decent collection of them

[@kfd629]

Great Job Steve and Georginia! Judging by the footage of the drive, youv’e Stolen Dad’s truck a time or two!! Love your channel keep up the great work!!

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate thank you. Yes it’s the one he usually drives on the runs we go on. I’m glad you like it and there’s plenty more to come

[@geraldingram9351]

Love the road shots of picking up the tractor, their is nothing like a Detroit, go the 71.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Thanks Gerald. She certainly does sound nice mate. Very unique

[@backwoodsbogan]

Shes a rig mate even if it becomes yard art 👌

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Mate indeed. It made a good video and will look good sitting here. I’ve near got the engine going

[@LordGrievous1970]

Roll on the start-up video!!

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Still filming it but it’s coming

[@jimrio3628]

Steve, is the truck you drove in the video the one that was sticking out of your shed on the side with the 8v71? Didn't you get this tractor a few months back. Hope the engine is salvageable. I sent you an email a few days ago. Its very sad to see that circus outfit closed down. Your dad's truck sounds great. Jim Rioux

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Jim. Yes it probably was mate. I only got this tractor last week. It may have been another one. I did reply to the email mate yes. Have a look to see if you received it

[@johngibson3837]

Are youse somewhere NSW south coast, that Detroit sounds wonderful looking forward to some work on the Chamberlain

[@stevesplacedownunder]

An hour west of Sydney mate. Chamberlain should be going this weekend hopefully then I will be able to complete the video and get it out.

[@johngibson3837]

Thanks for the reply mate, the landscape/bush had a familiar look, good luck for the weekend

[@BarnyardEngineering]

Nothing like pushing the Easy Button to load a derelict old heap like that.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

🙄thanks for watching 😀

[@stuartbailey3824]

Good save, mate. I noticed some bits of circus tent on the ground. Are they any use to put over cabs with missing windows? Love the sound of the white KW. Are there plans to throw a bit of paint at it. Great video, thank you.

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate. They probably are good for it but rubbish at the same time. No absolutely never painting this truck. It’s original down to the last nut and bolt and we’re a big thing in their day here when they were running. Once painted it’s not original anymore. She gets a lot of attention, especially from blokes who knows what it is

[@THELASTLINEOFDEFENCE]

Ever get to Mulgowie 4341 ?

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi mate no I never have been there

[@kilcundacoachworks]

lol sit empty bottles on

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Always mate

[@peterselten500]

Hi steve diesel downunder has some old fords if you still looking for parts . Cheers mate

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Hi Peter yes mate I have spoken with him about it. If it was closer I’d be very interested

[@peterselten500]

@@stevesplacedownunder you mite have to make a week of it an go get the bits an some videos

[@stevesplacedownunder]

It’s not a bad idea to be honest mate. We could probably make one together also.

[@peterselten500]

@@stevesplacedownunder that would be great

[@miltonhancock2954]

Was that a 9G or Countryman6

[@stevesplacedownunder]

I think it’s a 6G mate. Certain things on it differ a little bit to the 9G, but I could be wrong
