Yeah mate,
Its an old UH083.
Damn good machine although to fix stuff is dear.
Blew an engine, the hino, last year and fixing it in the creek before the wet came was a pain!!
Cant just go down the road to get a filter or bolt etc!!!
Thing is....the bloody engine was the best thing on the machine!!!!
But you do what you do.......
Fix things up with fencing wire and gaffa tape and move on....
100 yards to the ounce....keep shoveling!!

Gday fellars , thats an old B61 Mack that Wilf H. put up there , that things got 'hard work written all over it' , it would have been a dog of a thing to drive with no power steering ,two gear leavers (duplex 10spd. or quad box 20spd.) and not to mention as hot as hell inside , but otherwise a brilliant truck and for me it is an all time favourite . More photos of them old jiggers please . Rob
