Default Tony!

Good to see you've got into making some posts... how about starting a thread to properly introduce yourself and share some pics of your remarkable collection.

Hi Tony,
Welcome finally to the Forum. Thanks for those photos. I think you are right with that Grant. Passing a stationary semi at 100km doesn't give one much time to extract all the details but it certainly looks like the one. The pipe work for the canopy I thought was shorter length-wise along the hull but the actual cut off angle etc of the front armour is right. So I think you are on the button.

Regards Rick.

Don't know. QLD was all I was told. It sold in early Feb 2012 if memory serves me correctly.

Im pretty sure the carrier wheel is used as a brake for the winch, for lifting the dozer blade.
