Default Some carrier bits pass through Eltham

On their way to Yass.

John Hedges and partner Fiona arrived today after having purchased a heavy trailer load of carrier parts from South Gippsland.

On arrival there was a need to redistribute the load for the long drive to Yass tomorrow.



Trouble was there was something rather heavy to be transferred from the ute to the trailer:



The solution?



Can't go past the good old Ford FGT...



Problem solved.

Excellent! Before you know it, you'll realise the FGT is much more practical with a crane on the back and you'll never restore it back to its original configuration . . .

Default Practical

Have to admit it is useful like this - of course the crane will fit onto another CMP...

Default Oxide

There was a certain amount of ferric oxide, but a fair amount of the track should be usable, and the wheels are all rolling free.
