A couple of weeks ago I got to move a Valentine tank for a mate of mine. He has just bought it off another farmer here in Kulin. We pushed it on to the low loader with a front end loader. The old bloke standing looking at all the action is Dave Quicke who originally bought this tank in the early 1950s and used it as a tractor on his farm until about 1985. He had a tear in his eye to see it go.
Cheers

2) The loader had to work hard
3) It was an unusually wet day for October in WA. This is the second time I have moved this tank. I moved it from one of Dave Quicke's farms to another about ten or so years ago. I must be one of the most experienced Valentine removalists in WA by now.
4) Getting it off was easier than getting it on.
5) Here is my mate Gerry with his new pride and joy. Gerry has been looking for a tank or a carrier for years now.
