I have a Fiat Allis 10-C, 1980 model, which I purchased in November 2017.
It needs a bit of TLC so when time permits I'm working on that. I'm not a mechanic so have just plodded along, doing what I can and getting help where I need it. Progress is happening, slowly. I have all the manuals so that helps. The machine was made in Turin Italy, came to me via Fog Creek Station in the Gulf Country of North Queensland.
I worked in the construction industry for 35 years, on some fairly big resource and civil engineering jobs in Queensland and the Northern Territory. I was a construction surveyor originally, and served a few different roles before spending the last 10 years in estimating. Nowadays I am spending family time, with wife and 2 school aged children, along with my hobbies, cattle and horses, and of course my Fiat Allis. Present priority is refurbishing a doghouse for the latest family addition, Scomo the 4 month old Kelpie.
Here is the 10-C
I did have two stints of dozer operating during my working life, at Ward River exploration camp at Weipa, Far North Queensland, and at the Copabella to Bollingbroke railway duplication project, Nebo Central Queensland. At the former I made washboards out of perfectly good drill lines, and at the latter bogged a new D6. Total operating hours less than 10. I am hopeful of improving on my record.
