I visited Murrayville in August 2007, and the two chain drive Macks are no longer there. A few enquiries later I found that they are being restored by Mr. Peers grandson, in Murrayville. (Well one is).
There was a fair bit missing from the Macks, but one engine was removed many years ago and used as a standby generator engine in the family workshop. It was not often required, so is in excellent condition and therefore the resoration has had a big push along.
Mr. Peers is quite elderly, so who knows what will happen to the rest in the not too distant future.
Here are a few photos.
