Default hmmm

May have to go myself.
Looking through the list it states 2 BAZOOKAS!
Surely a typo, or is bazooka simply slang for some type of fancy horn?

Yup. thought it maybe a typo or something myself. Went past the other day,mainly all the mercedes cars visible, but a nice big shed.
Note to anyone relying on Google Earth, the sale is NOT being held in the Tyrepower carpark. Go to the North end of Watson street near the rail lines.

Had a preview today, only one Blitz crane (Peters G-Well [?], 3 ton) Chev.
Other crane was flathead V8 but appeared to be a purpose built crane.
Most of the stuff there will be sold by the pallet, a lot of it is real scrap, 4 or 5 pallets of flathead V8's in various states. Generally if you want a single item you would have to buy the pallet to get it.
Matilda Leyland Diesal missing the output Generator (or so I was told) but otherwise looked to be quite complete, including the twin clutch housing. Two complete transmissions.

Also had some interesting tractors (V4 diesal, Lanz Bulldog and 4 reasonably sized Cletracs)
Was interested in the little International AB 120 4x4, but will pass now. Series II Landie looked good from the front and passenger side, shame about the drivers side which appears to have been rammed.

Default matilda bits

Hi Guys

I looked at these bits about 3 months back, we arrived early and the owners were working on them......The engine is stuck, the cross drive has been modified. one gearbox has the main mounting boss broken off, the input shaft has been scoured with the oxy. the other box has one of the fan mounting supports broken off and the input shaft is also cut. Both box's dont turn. All bits are water damaged.

The owner stated that they paid 6k for them (a pair) and they wanted 3500 on the day......Needless to say I whent home with out them.

Having said all that, the bits are a good source of parts.

I will see you at the auction !

Kind regards
Matt
