Cheers,
Border raids, whilst not unique to Australia are now part of the very fibre of our being, our psyche and the Australian Way.

A bit of a slow day today. I just got some more painting done and prepared a diff to come out of a donor carrier. I also caught my little bloke "Andrew" in the shed lifting his pedal tractor with the overhead gantry. His answer was that it need to be restored and he did not need any of my help. I can't wait for him to get older then I can get him help me

This is absolutely amazing. At this rate Colin, you could end up setting a new "Year of the Carrier" record by yourself. There would be plenty of volunteers for drivers.

Hi all, I lost my computer for a couple of days but back again. Peter you never have trouble getting drivers
I've done the rollers and amazingly after 70 years they are still OK. In the last pic I thought I would just show that you can still get nuts off even after the rust gas dissolved 60%. I use a cold chisel and just carefully split them.
