Hi Robert,
How would you like to get this old wreck on your low loader without a crane?
I collected this old girl from Wilcannia, NSW, where it died about ten years ago, then got cannabalised. I wanted the diff, and the elevators. It's blown motor and three tyres were in Broken Hill, 200k's away. I had to get them and fit the tyres, and use the hydraulics off my crane truck to lift the bowl, and steer it onto the low loader with a push from a grader. Then drive 800k's back home..... lucky diesel was only $1.80/litre back then...
I still firmly believe the Wabco scraper is the best balanced machine ive ever driven[/QUOTE said:I totally agree Jim.
I've operated a LOT of scrapers in my time and the Wabco's always gave the best ride, even for a two-axle machine.
It is a great pity that they're still not manufactured.
You're very limited for choice these days:drinkup
