Great pictures indeed. What is the story behind the deep blue CMP? An interesting colour, I kinda like it.

What was the weight you were pulling?? and over what distance?

I got back from displaying vehicles at steamfest here where the tractor pulling association runs at the same time with tractors, modified tractors, 4wd's, modified 4wd's and ride on mowers. I entered a couple of years ago along with a mates V8 M37, but it's a fair strain on everything on the driveline. I don't know what the smaller pulling rig weighed, but the big one I think is a 4 ton deadweight when it comes right forwards.

An original RAAF colour as used on the Pacific Fire Tender.
