Border Raiding...

Rick, I hadn't considered putting it on the blitz but it would make a uneque truck out of it
Alex, It will be verry useful when I get it mounted, I need to add a frame to make it into a three point linkage implement.
As with all cheep in perfect working order purchaces some repairs will be necessary before it can be used.
Keith one of these days i'll make a planed trip to Melbourne instead of a mad dash.

Great photo, sure many of us have done this at one time or another to free up an a stuck engine. What amazes me is how often it works.

Remember my Dad filling and I mean filling an engine with diesel fuel, cylinders, crank case, intake manifold and just let it sit in the sun for a week or so. Then he drain the whole thing out. Put it in gear and rocked the car back and forth until the engine would spin all the way around then put fresh fuel in the carb put the plugs back in fresh oil and the silly engine start with a cloud of smoke made a racket but as it sat there running it smooth out smoke stopped coming out the exhaust. Don't know how long the engine survived but I remember the car driving away under its own power.

Cheers Phil

Love your work, Robert. Just hope it does some good. Otherwise it might have to be an engine transplant I fear.
I plan to visit next trip and take the heads off, then we'll know for sure.

Keith droped in today to visit the cab12 and I found the perfect photo frame for him
Of all the photos I've taken of this blitz it was only today I noticed the axles have the removing studs in place.

Yes, caught in the act, a very slow motion raid, this one...

Good to catch up, Robert.

Robert's place is in a beautiful setting off the Snowy Mountain Hwy, well worth a visit, if just to see his concreting prowess!

Although the engine was seized I'd hoped it may not be too bad but the dipstick has a mix of oil and water, so no point pulling a head off at this stage.



It's missing a few bits, but is not too bad. Does anyone have a spare Ford cab 12 horn?



Also looking for a grille and fuel tanks.
