Great little truck. British quality and has an apt name for sure…a tough little beast. I would hazard a guess that it has a Perkins 4 liter 6 cylinder that puts out around 100 hp. Thanks for the video, mate.
Rats love a machine like this & its Leyland Terrier Lol. My dad drove a Box Leyland Terrier for British Gas & we moved house with that 1977.Bought back great memories Mate. I started driving 7.5 ton Leyland Terriers in 1987 for Clarke Bakeries at 19 as that was the largest truck you could drive on a car license in UK. Thanks for the video mate.
Hi Trev thanks for watching. This one is no exception with rats by any means. I’m glad it bought back memories for you. It sounds like you’ve had a lot more to do with them than I have. They were a good thing in their time mate I have no doubt. Thanks for sharing and I’m glad you liked it
Over the moon you done this video m8,love these little terriers,used drive a 1980 one like that,brings back fond memories, used to drive from wisbech to Wales collecting fence panels in her,in uk,keep up the great work.
Hi mate thank you and I’m glad it brought back good memories for you. It’s great that you drove one. I’ve had a lot of comments from over there from blokes that drove them and all had good stuff to say about them
Very under rated machines the Leylands, shame they rotted quick but most metal did in that era. Love Fodens myself and a Bedford TK but Leyland made some great machines.
The steering wheel and stalks on it are freom the Leyland T45 series which were after these, this cab update was a refresh until the T45 or Road Runner arrived.
Hi mate thanks for watching. You certainly seem to know these trucks. This one isn’t too bad for rust really. Not in bad order for something that has always sat outside. As far as interior and model changes and everything else about them I’m not overly sure. It’s good to learn a little bit about it. Thanks for sharing
That has to be the candidate for hauling the Hume!! In one breath you were singing the praises of the Terrier, then you looked over the fence at the Austin and Bedford and said you weren't keen on Pomm Trucks. LOL.
Hi mate. Not sure I will be doing the Hume with it. I like pommy stuff a lot and certainly appreciate it, but not something I’d like to work or do up like the other ones I have. Although I would like a KM Bedford
Couple more tractor revivals would be good. We got one of those old bedfords going about 40 years ago. Buried nose first in the lantana for years. That make good scrub clearing machines. Get em going backwards then into angel and hang on. Boys will be boys 😊
I had the series before the Terrier, Frame looked the same but a different cab, FG series. I had the FG 550 it was a 4 pot diesel four speed, only used 1st to get out of a rut. solid and simple. Moved on to a Boxer much bigger 6 pot think it was a 5L, simple and solid trucks, would have one now. Cheers for the show.
Hi mate, the brown plastic cab came out in the late 70's in the UK. The engine sounded like a Leyland 6/98. The Terrier was a 7.5 ton gross weight, then the Boxer was a 12 ton gross and the Mastiff was 20 ton (I think) with the V8 perkins. The mastiff was a 6 wheeler and prime mover where as the Terrier and Boxer were both 4 wheelers. These are UK spec. Just in case you didn't know the cab can be tilted. Remove the bolt from the UJ at the bottom of the steering column and pull the steering wheel up till it comes out. Then at the back of the cab there is 2 x 3/4 bolts remove them and there should be a catch you pull. These cabs are bloody heavy and need 2 people to lift them as it doesn't have a torsion bar like the Boxer and Mastiff. I do know someone that broke his arm lowering a cab oppps 😂. The cab is not that rusty they were worse than that at 10 year old. Great video, keep them coming.
Hi Stuart thank you mate and sorry for late replies. The cab on this is hydraulic lift. It has a pump that you put a bar into like a jack and up it goes. Very easy this one. The cab isn’t to far gone if someone wanted to restore it. I think it’s in good order for the price. Well worth getting
Terrier, Boxer, Clydesdale, Reiver and Super Reiver from memory 🙂 While still badged BMC there was the Laird too. Bit of a pick’n’mix from the heritages of BMC, Albion and Leyland - just like the parts used to build ‘em 😁
The Leyland Terrier and others were built in Bathgate Scotland 4 miles from my house. I can remember them lined up around the factory in the 70s and 80s, virtually all painted white and ready for export. The factory closed in 1986. Now a large housing complex.
I use to drive the 6 wheeler V8 Perkins version. Great sound, tough engine. 8 speed box. I drove it for a week on 7 cylinders with a valve head rattling around inside until eventually it went quiet. We took the head off, dug the valve out the top of the piston, put it back together and carried on working..
Hi Steve, I haven't been getting notifications by the looks of things. Fed up of YT deciding what I should and shouldn't watch. Plus not had a good year so far this year, but that's another story mate and hopefully all sorted now . Also just lost my wife's Mother too, so a funeral had to be arranged. Glad to get your videos back again mate...Big catch up to do now. Cheers Steve, take care and catch you later, Norm. P.S. You may remember I did ask you to do a video on this one, so thanks mate. Much appreciated.
Hi Norm sorry for late reply. So many comments lately I can’t keep up. I’m the same with what RUclips recommends to me. Some of it Is nothing to do with what I’m into. Send my condolences to your wife mate. It’s never a good thing to have family problems but it’s how it works unfortunately mate. There’s plenty for you to watch and hopefully you can enjoy. Yes mate I do remember. Talk soon mate and take care
@@stevesplacedownunder Thanks for the reply Steve, appreciate it. Wife and I thank you for your kind thoughts re: her Mother. Funeral all done and back home now after a few days away with good mates. I will enjoy the catch up, yes. Take care buddy, Norm.
G'Day Steve. Scott in Arizona here. Mate , I've been away a while. Actually since you did the Big Brown episode maybe three or so months ago. Been ill , but am coming right now . I will be watching all the previous videos . Kinda surprised I didnt see Roger down there mucking about with the kids ! I'll get caught up as fast as I can. Cheers
Hi Scott, I was kinda wondering where you were mate. You were usually a regular. I hope it all is okay now. It’s never a good thing being I’ll for that long by any means. I lost Roger a few months ago 😭, he was run over here at my place by a visitor. It was terrible and we are still not really over it. There is a video where I talk about it at the start. Take care mate and sorry for the late reply
@@stevesplacedownunder Aww mate that's hard to hear , I have tears in my eyes . I'm very soft when it comes to family dogs. Roger had the best life, a good loving family and a big property to roam around on. I was hoping to meet the little bugger along with you when I get the chance to come back to Australia . Yea . Im getting better , still have a lot of healing and videos to catch up on . The most miserable summer we have ever had is still going on, went through all of July with temps 43-49c every day. 🥵 Keep up the good work Steve , your videos are always interesting to me. I know it takes a lot of time and patience to produce them. thanks for the reply mate !
It was terrible mate. And my partner and kids were away for the night so I had to wait 24 hours to tell them, I didn’t want them to drive home in the dark and upset. That’s decent weather mate wow. Hopefully you enjoy the video mate and talk soon
@@stevesplacedownunder I did watch the video where you told what happened . It was the best eulogy you could have given for Roger . He was great little mate . And will be in lots of hearts for a very long time !🌵
Hi mate thank you. I have sprayed it before but still stays up. When I do leave it for long periods I push it back down, when I remember. My pleasure mate thank you
Hi Steve. Not sure if the same for the Australian market but the British ones gained a matt black grille and white outline LEYLAND lettering graphics on a matt black panel below the windscreen in ‘81 alongside the T45 Roadtrain tractor units that launched at that time. Before that they had a polished metal grille and separate white plastic LEYLAND letters on body colour. I’d guess yours is about ‘77-‘78. Decent motors all told; it was the usual Bathgate G-cab habit of going frilly round the edges quite quickly, and the rapid progress the competition was making in terms of performance and comfort that finished most of them off. Nice to see a survivor 🙂
Forgot this: the G-cab lived on after Leyland canned it, in Turkey built by BMC Sanayi. The basic cab structure was also used on the Leyland Landtrain and Leyland Landmaster quite late into the ‘80s. Might ease finding cab parts and repair panels at least 🙂 Right, I’ll leave you alone now mate 😆
Hi mate sorry for late replies. This is interesting. They certainly are a familiar looking cab on other vehicles. I wasn’t aware of this. Not something I’ve ever researched.
Hey Steve Kym from Adelaide the old Leyland brought back memories,my wife's cousin bought a new Mastif in early 80,s it was V8 Perkins turbo 13 speed Road RANGER 38000 lb diffs ,it was a tipper pulling a 2 axle pig trailer,wasn't a bad unit at the time ,some blokes reckon that was the only good truck Leyland made ,I remember it's competition was the Bedford with the V6 GM but the Leyland had the tilt cab which Mechanics liked ,I think the other competor in that size was the Ford D series with 555 V8 Cummins and road ranger box ,oh and of course the Acco 2150 V8 Cummins ,I was only 20 yrs old and they were a lot of fun to drive not real reliable but hey who cared they all sounded great .Really enjoy your yard full of trucksfrom my youth mate Kym Adelaide
Hi Kym sorry for late reply. Thanks for sharing. These are all great trucks and I’d like to get one of each. I’d love a KM Bedford. They are a collector item now mate.
@@stevesplacedownunder Yeh Steve funny the Bedfords weren't a collectors item in the 60,s 70,s I can still remember them going down the road with the engine access hoods up to try and cool the engine on a hot day,the Poms didn't have any idea how to build a vehicle that could handle our summers.my first car in 73 was my granny,s 1952 morris minor ,electric fuel pump so all summer I had to keep stopping and wrapping a wet rag around the fuel pump to stop it vaporizing ,they called the VW Hitler's revenge I think the English cars and trucks were the poms revenge LOL.But all this is what makes me love my always reliable Hilux .Have a nice Day mate Kym
Most Terriers sold in Australia were fitted with V8 petrol motors, the same one that was used in the P 76 car. The one I drove had 20 inch wheels model TR571 with a 20 foot body. Later on some were fitted with a Perkins 6-247 diesel. Most of the diesels had 16 inch wheels.
Hi Bill yes I believe they were but I haven’t seen one here that isn’t diesel. They were the alloy Rover v8 I think. Apparently there were a lot around but must be all hiding behind blokes sheds. I’d like to have one. Your one was certainly bigger than this by the sounds of it. Thanks for the comment mate
Hi Steve, yes they were based on the Rover V8 but were of 4.4 litre capacity (It is my understanding that the Rover V8's were of 3.5 litre) These motors were first used in the short lived P76 car that were on the Australian market for about 2 years. Leyland released them on the market to compete with the Dodge and International V8's that were popular here during the 60's and 70's. @@stevesplacedownunder
Hi mate. That would be amazing. I’ve got the stuff here to build one but I need time and help. It’s a shame to see it all outside but a lot of it was going for scrap if I didn’t save it
Thanks for sharing Nick. I’d imagine they would be bad in the cold as well. This one fires then stops a few times. Injection pump issues I’d say from sitting
Glad to see you didn't spill yer stress reliever getting out of the ruts with the Leyland. She's running good for having sat so long - and the Chonda pump too. If Leyland had built the white lumber hauler Chloe was in, it mighta been called a Chihuahua! I see there's plenty of room next to the tank for a box to hold sausages and marshmallows for the next brush burn. 8^) I really enjoyed the video. Cheers Steve.
Good on ya for saving the Terrier👍🏻 I saw 2 as a young'un. 1 was a site tipper the other was a refuse lorry like a tipper with a half circle metal canopy with 2 covers either side. Both driver praised them the same, reliably underpowered😄 I'm with ya on dickheads vandalising old machinery. All of them should be AMf'd😉 Cheers for a new video🍻 I hope the new week is a good'un for you lot.
hi Steve is it really that dry up there mate and thanks for showing the old fire truck stated better than my Ute Steve and hanging out for them old tractors next door to the day you go down and get them going mate thanks for taken time to put out another top video mate holly shit that was a good fire ha ha
Hi John. It started like that after sitting for 18 odd years mate. It was unbelievable. Yes it’s very dry. We’ve had a lot of frost’s also so that hasn’t helped. I’m trying to burn them before the bushfire season comes again. I can’t wait to go and get those tractors either mate
Quality brand trucks. Killed by lunatics in the British government and Leyland managers and directors, foolish unions and unwilling employers. Then the vultures DAF from Holland (truck division) and Volvo (Bus division) from Sweden came to finish things up. The end of an era where British craftsmanship shined.
@@stevesplacedownunderHi! I’m in Holland and love your channel. The Leyland story is a brilliant and sad one. Brilliant up to maybe the mid 60’s and then gradually falling behind the competition from mainly German brands. Combine that with mismanagement, foolish unions and all I before mentioned. Whatever the case, the truck and bus departments were taken down by the demise of the car devision that failed to come up with innovative new cars and what they brought out was of terrible quality, the Morris Marina being maybe the worst of them all. So yes, a combination where literally everything failed.
@leyland9999 The worst car had to be the Allegro 😂. Don't forget that somewhere along the Leyland truck path, it was sold to India and sold as Leyland Ashott. They have kept the name, not like Daf that used Leyland Daf for a few years then dropped it.
@@stuartbailey3824 Ashok-Leyland freed itself from the Leyland empire more or less. What they do is using the best parts of the old Mercedes (LP series) and Leyland trucks and added their own developed parts and (bus)bodies. That proved to be successful for their own and other third world target areas. The reason they still are in business. However, as India is rapidly growing and Ashok do not keep in pace (old obsolete technology) the future doesn’t look too bright is my humble opinion. Interesting though how they cope (or not) with those changes.
Good grief Steve, I've not seen a Terrier for donkeys. Going back a few moons, they were Leyland's competitor in the British 7.5T GVW market up against Bedford TK/ TL and Ford D-series/ Cargo. They didn't sell as well as either, most I knew of were on urban parcel work with a 4-cyl diesel. I'll do some digging on the interweb.
Hi mate. Not a lot spotted around here either. Not really a truck that our truck enthusiasts really do up here. Spot the odd one on a farm or a horse track watering the track. I have no doubt that the D series and Bedford trucks were more popular because they still appear. Mostly on club events. Still a lot of tk bedfords laying around. They only a little truck so a city delivery truck would suit it just fine
In New Zealand we had them in the same market. I remember a couple of them on the road most were with Market gardeners. It must have been pretty unremarkable as I know I have driven a couple but I don't remember how they handled or performed.
Hi mate. It may well have been on the railways, I’m not sure of its original history. I believe they used the v8 yes but I’ve never seen one here. I’m sure they would of been in Australia though
Leyland built a prototype of this shape in a 6x6 for Australian Army evaluation when they were looking to replace the International. They ended up going with Unimogs and Macks
Yes okay mate. They were a good engine but nothing against a turbocharged Mack or unimog I wouldn’t think. And they are heavy too the Leyland trucks. I’d say that’s why but I may be wrong
What ever happened to basic trucks. Jim from Connecticut. The epa ruined the beautiful basic trucks in the states. They were easy to work on and fix. Now like everything else the government gets involved with, all their regulations makes everything expensive and more involved. I love to see the older trucks at work. BTW my grandfather used to burn everything. My dad used to burn our leaves in the fall. Now you cant burn anything. Our ass hole climate czar john Kerry has the world believing we are going to burn or freeze. But they can blow up nordstream 2 pipeline emitting tons of methane. Good to see someone burning brush as you should be able to. Great water truck. Be good mate. Jim Rioux
Hi Jim. They are a thing of the past mate. They worked great. By all means update the cab and make it more comfortable but the drivetrain worked fine how it was. We don’t need exhaust burners or adblue. Just ridiculous. Same goes for burning the piles like you say. Only certain areas here can do it too. Thee greenies don’t like burning the bush. They don’t realise that the bush needs burning so it can thrive. The Australian bush anyway. It sounds like these blokes are all over the world and in charge mate. How did the world function before these blokes came along. Thanks as always mate
She ‘s a little ripper mate. Pretty sure I’ve watched every vid you’ve done, pretty sure I’ve never seen you clean a windshield. Just a thought… have a sandwich and cheers to you mate
Hi mate thank you. No I don’t really clean them unless going on the road. And down there where they park there’s nothing to clean them with. No hose anyway so I don’t bother. This one is full of rusty water I could of probably used. Anyway mate a good time was had by all🤣🍻🍻🍻🍻

Very under rated machines the Leylands, shame they rotted quick but most metal did in that era. Love Fodens myself and a Bedford TK but Leyland made some great machines.
Deff a later than 80's model, think you are right 82 ish older models had the black cab interior (in the UK anyway).

Hey Steve great video I worked on leyland tiger bus engine uk. Nice to see over leyland greats keep up with the great videos.
Hi mate thank you. That’s great. They were good buses over here too. I’m sure you would know a lot about them after working on them.

Hey Steve Kym from Adelaide the old Leyland brought back memories,my wife's cousin bought a new Mastif in early 80,s it was V8 Perkins turbo 13 speed Road RANGER 38000 lb diffs ,it was a tipper pulling a 2 axle pig trailer,wasn't a bad unit at the time ,some blokes reckon that was the only good truck Leyland made ,I remember it's competition was the Bedford with the V6 GM but the Leyland had the tilt cab which Mechanics liked ,I think the other competor in that size was the Ford D series with 555 V8 Cummins and road ranger box ,oh and of course the Acco 2150 V8 Cummins ,I was only 20 yrs old and they were a lot of fun to drive not real reliable but hey who cared they all sounded great .Really enjoy your yard full of trucksfrom my youth mate

Hi Kym sorry for late reply. Thanks for sharing. These are all great trucks and I’d like to get one of each. I’d love a KM Bedford. They are a collector item now mate.
@@stevesplacedownunder
Yeh Steve funny the Bedfords weren't a collectors item in the 60,s 70,s I can still remember them going down the road with the engine access hoods up to try and cool the engine on a hot day,the Poms didn't have any idea how to build a vehicle that could handle our summers.my first car in 73 was my granny,s 1952 morris minor ,electric fuel pump so all summer I had to keep stopping and wrapping a wet rag around the fuel pump to stop it vaporizing ,they called the VW Hitler's revenge I think the English cars and trucks were the poms revenge LOL.But all this is what makes me love my always reliable Hilux .Have a nice Day mate

Most Terriers sold in Australia were fitted with V8 petrol motors, the same one that was used in the P 76 car. The one I drove had 20 inch wheels model TR571 with a 20 foot body. Later on some were fitted with a Perkins 6-247 diesel. Most of the diesels had 16 inch wheels.
Hi Bill yes I believe they were but I haven’t seen one here that isn’t diesel. They were the alloy Rover v8 I think. Apparently there were a lot around but must be all hiding behind blokes sheds. I’d like to have one.
Your one was certainly bigger than this by the sounds of it. Thanks for the comment mate
Hi Steve, yes they were based on the Rover V8 but were of 4.4 litre capacity (It is my understanding that the Rover V8's were of 3.5 litre) These motors were first used in the short lived P76 car that were on the Australian market for about 2 years. Leyland released them on the market to compete with the Dodge and International V8's that were popular here during the 60's and 70's.

Have an awesome day brother be safe and will be waiting for your next adventure lol
Many happy returns brother
You need to get yourself a Bunnings size shed for all your vehicles Steve.
Hi mate. That would be amazing. I’ve got the stuff here to build one but I need time and help. It’s a shame to see it all outside but a lot of it was going for scrap if I didn’t save it
I used to work on them in the late 70's/early 80's, they were hard to start both the 4 & 6 cylinders were
Thanks for sharing Nick. I’d imagine they would be bad in the cold as well. This one fires then stops a few times. Injection pump issues I’d say from sitting
Glad to see you didn't spill yer stress reliever getting out of the ruts with the Leyland. She's running good for having sat so long - and the Chonda pump too. If Leyland had built the white lumber hauler Chloe was in, it mighta been called a Chihuahua! I see there's plenty of room next to the tank for a box to hold sausages and marshmallows for the next brush burn. 8^) I really enjoyed the video. Cheers Steve.
Thank you Jeff. Sorry for late reply mate
@@stevesplacedownunder No worries at all Steve, cheers!
Mate of mine in Sydney had a Leyland boxer with hiab on it was a good truck
Thanks for sharing mate. Sorry for late reply
Neat water truck.
44:22 The size of that Crescent !! (Shifter for all you Aussies!) You definitely like big tools! 🤣🤣
Mate we are all about the big tools
@@stevesplacedownunder 🤣🤣
Oy goodness now that's a big adjustable wrench
It is yes. Big tools for a big job mate
Cool
Good on ya for saving the Terrier👍🏻
I saw 2 as a young'un. 1 was a site tipper the other was a refuse lorry like a tipper with a half circle metal canopy with 2 covers either side.
Both driver praised them the same, reliably underpowered😄
I'm with ya on dickheads vandalising old machinery. All of them should be AMf'd😉
Cheers for a new video🍻
I hope the new week is a good'un for you lot.
Hi mate thanks for sharing and sorry for late reply. It’s getting harder to respond to everyone straight away now. Plenty more to come
@@stevesplacedownunder
Nee worries mate, with the channel growing and you living a full life, I understand👍🏻
Cheers for responding🍻
hi Steve is it really that dry up there mate and thanks for showing the old fire truck stated better than my Ute Steve and hanging out for them old tractors next door to the day you go down and get them going mate thanks for taken time to put out another top video mate holly shit that was a good fire ha ha
Hi John. It started like that after sitting for 18 odd years mate. It was unbelievable. Yes it’s very dry. We’ve had a lot of frost’s also so that hasn’t helped. I’m trying to burn them before the bushfire season comes again. I can’t wait to go and get those tractors either mate
Quality brand trucks. Killed by lunatics in the British government and Leyland managers and directors, foolish unions and unwilling employers. Then the vultures DAF from Holland (truck division) and Volvo (Bus division) from Sweden came to finish things up. The end of an era where British craftsmanship shined.
Hi mate. I wasn’t aware how it ended for them. This is very interesting. They made a great product. Brilliant engines
@@stevesplacedownunderHi! I’m in Holland and love your channel. The Leyland story is a brilliant and sad one. Brilliant up to maybe the mid 60’s and then gradually falling behind the competition from mainly German brands. Combine that with mismanagement, foolish unions and all I before mentioned. Whatever the case, the truck and bus departments were taken down by the demise of the car devision that failed to come up with innovative new cars and what they brought out was of terrible quality, the Morris Marina being maybe the worst of them all. So yes, a combination where literally everything failed.
@leyland9999 The worst car had to be the Allegro 😂. Don't forget that somewhere along the Leyland truck path, it was sold to India and sold as Leyland Ashott. They have kept the name, not like Daf that used Leyland Daf for a few years then dropped it.
@@stuartbailey3824 Ashok-Leyland freed itself from the Leyland empire more or less. What they do is using the best parts of the old Mercedes (LP series) and Leyland trucks and added their own developed parts and (bus)bodies. That proved to be successful for their own and other third world target areas. The reason they still are in business. However, as India is rapidly growing and Ashok do not keep in pace (old obsolete technology) the future doesn’t look too bright is my humble opinion. Interesting though how they cope (or not) with those changes.
Basically all crap. They are ugly, poorly engineered and not used in the United states. American trucks are the world benchmark standard.
Good grief Steve, I've not seen a Terrier for donkeys. Going back a few moons, they were Leyland's competitor in the British 7.5T GVW market up against Bedford TK/ TL and Ford D-series/ Cargo. They didn't sell as well as either, most I knew of were on urban parcel work with a 4-cyl diesel. I'll do some digging on the interweb.
Hi mate. Not a lot spotted around here either. Not really a truck that our truck enthusiasts really do up here. Spot the odd one on a farm or a horse track watering the track. I have no doubt that the D series and Bedford trucks were more popular because they still appear. Mostly on club events. Still a lot of tk bedfords laying around. They only a little truck so a city delivery truck would suit it just fine
In New Zealand we had them in the same market. I remember a couple of them on the road most were with Market gardeners. It must have been pretty unremarkable as I know I have driven a couple but I don't remember how they handled or performed.
The paint colour and the front bumper are the same as nsw railways. The Terrier petrol used the Leyland 4.4litre v8.
Hi mate. It may well have been on the railways, I’m not sure of its original history.
I believe they used the v8 yes but I’ve never seen one here. I’m sure they would of been in Australia though
Leyland built a prototype of this shape in a 6x6 for Australian Army evaluation when they were looking to replace the International. They ended up going with Unimogs and Macks
Hi mate I wasn’t aware of this. That’s interesting. I’d imagine not as powerful as Mack and unimog
@@stevesplacedownunder I think it was Mastiff spec so it had a Perkins V8. Will try and dig up a Magazine advertisement in my archives
Yes okay mate. They were a good engine but nothing against a turbocharged Mack or unimog I wouldn’t think. And they are heavy too the Leyland trucks. I’d say that’s why but I may be wrong
Steve, stupid question, does the water going a drain spin, left or right, stay safe buddy 😅😅!.
Hi mate, you know, I’ve never taken any notice 😅😅
"A nervous one" what a load of bullshit! There is no doubt that you try to lead people on a bit!!! Cheers & lots of Beers!
Thanks Neville 😅😅😂😂😂
How do you see out of the windshield lol
I couldn’t see out of it🤣
not sure you know but i think you putting the videos out in mono instead of stereo.
What ever happened to basic trucks. Jim from Connecticut. The epa ruined the beautiful basic trucks in the states. They were easy to work on and fix. Now like everything else the government gets involved with, all their regulations makes everything expensive and more involved. I love to see the older trucks at work. BTW my grandfather used to burn everything. My dad used to burn our leaves in the fall. Now you cant burn anything. Our ass hole climate czar john Kerry has the world believing we are going to burn or freeze. But they can blow up nordstream 2 pipeline emitting tons of methane. Good to see someone burning brush as you should be able to. Great water truck. Be good mate. Jim Rioux
Hi Jim. They are a thing of the past mate. They worked great. By all means update the cab and make it more comfortable but the drivetrain worked fine how it was. We don’t need exhaust burners or adblue. Just ridiculous. Same goes for burning the piles like you say. Only certain areas here can do it too. Thee greenies don’t like burning the bush. They don’t realise that the bush needs burning so it can thrive. The Australian bush anyway. It sounds like these blokes are all over the world and in charge mate. How did the world function before these blokes came along. Thanks as always mate
She ‘s a little ripper mate. Pretty sure I’ve watched every vid you’ve done, pretty sure I’ve never seen you clean a windshield. Just a thought… have a sandwich and cheers to you mate
Hi mate thank you. No I don’t really clean them unless going on the road. And down there where they park there’s nothing to clean them with. No hose anyway so I don’t bother. This one is full of rusty water I could of probably used. Anyway mate a good time was had by all🤣🍻🍻🍻🍻
What's up
