Default Re. Drive Cog

Hi Tony - I should have expected you would have covered that. However it is a trap for a lot of new players. Most of the Ford speedometers I refurbish have this fault and one must be very careful as the two cogs are riveted through the housing. Too much force will loosen this rivet. Anyway enough egg sucking, hopefully these last posts will assist someone refurbishing their own speedometer.

Bob

Default Lots of work

But unfortunately not very noticable... I have poured hours into the truck since the shed came down to a habitable temperature in Mid February.

Looking at it though - I wonder what all the hours achieved sometimes...

Still - got it to Anzac Day at Batemans Bay again but only just. Had some terrific support again from the Yass boys and girls in particular Max and Ashley Wilson.

Not to mention Andy Fulton from Hall...amazing work Andy - didnt get to tie it all together for Anzac Day but it will be ready for next year.

Default Anzac Day 2014

Had my Grandfather in the passenger seat as always and this year I had the honour of a younger Navy bloke (veteran of both gulf wars and more recent conflicts) and a bloke who was a Nasho from the 50's ride on the back.

Finally fitted the wheel arch boxes which made good seating

Attendance keeps growing every year at both services which is great to see.

Geez, Tony, your viscous guard hound appears to be morphing into a Walking custard dessert wrapped in red fur.

Default Now just one moment...

Not long after this photo was taken. He (very aggressively) tore the leg off a chicken...

The chicken was carefully cooked under sterile conditions in accordance NSW health regulations and served with warmed cream....

Truck is looking good Tony, your long hours on it are noticeable.

Default Now this is fun

Have finally managed to find some sides, get them repaired by Andy Fulton and have started the process of fitting them to the truck.

Again I have been given some invaluable help from John Mackie.

Thanks H for the lend of the trailer and Bruce for the pallets. These projects dont get done without help from everyone.
