And behind that is the top of a blitz as well. There you go Ryan, thats what you need. Three Grant bottom hulls. That'll keep yer missus happy.

Don't listen Ryan - you can never have enough....

Marc van Aalderen · #3 27-06-11, 07:43

Ryan,

The more bottoms you get the more tops you will need...

Cheers,

Pretty sure Lucas Earthmoving had 2 Grants converted for Earthmoving in Wangaratta, certainly up to 1980 or so. Also can remember 1 or 2 parked up against the Barnawartha Service station mid 70's (35kms north of Wang.). As well as one out Walla Walla way with the original radial we looked at about 8 years ago. For some reason this one also had a quantity of the ice grousers that went on to the track.
So there were quite a few of these beasties in this area, proximity to Bandiana probably had something to do with it. Do not recognise the one shown on the E-Bay ad though.
Be interesting to see, it would only be 1/2 an hour away.
Rich.

Nice "bottom" indeed. I was led to believe cut-down tanks were called "bath tub" in Australia.

Him: "Honey, I'm out to buy another bath tub".
Her: "That's great, I need one to wash up after sheering my sheep!"

Anyway, it might even still have the original engine?
