Don't you just love them?
Sounds like one of those cockies that wouldn't part with anything because. "I'm going to do it up one day". Meanwhile no one else gets a look in and it decays into oblivion.

At present I'm still in the "dreamer" phase of restoration, pending construction of a shed in which to enter the "doer" phase. If I haven't "done" anything in 5 years, kindly shoot me and repossess my CMPs! The real tragedy with hoarders is not that they hoard, it's that they hoard OUTDOORS!

Also scrapped was this low mileage late model F60S bearing RAAF markings and what looks like ARN 209963. I had planned to save the motor but ran out of time before Mr. Komatsu arrived on the scene. I regret not asking him to help me extract it, but I'd already made a nuisance of myself and held up proceedings enough. With nothing but a few hand tools there simply wasn't time to save everything, the scale of destruction was overwhelming.

With all spark plugs present and the engine cover in place it's quite likely this motor survived the elements, and with low mileage on the still functioning speedo it may have had minimal wear. I was a little discouraged by the milky white sludge on the dipstick but I've found that doesn't necessarily indicate any significant damage, and for little more than scrap price it was certainly worth saving. Unfortunately I ran out of daylight and Mr. Komatsu ate it for breakfast.

carrier bit
Tony,
I know how hard it was for you to do what you could to save as much as possible. It was a track winch and now I have see the close up pic I also noticed a carby mount for the choke and throttle cable with the cable attachedin the back of the tipper as well, d’oh……….. I had Colin Jones kindly make one for me as I didn’t have a real one. As they say "when one door shuts another opens" & "cant save them all"!

Having miraculously escaped Mr. Komatsu the two CMPs and the Humber now repose happily in their new homes.
