    Steve, I remember watching the city or an outside contractor using that same road grader in the 60s grading small stone on a side road near my parents old home. After that they oiled that road many times then threw sand on top of the oil. Always a pleasure my friend. I dont know how you find the time with all your projects. Be good, Jim

      Hi Jim. It probably was the same mate yes indeed. That’s a strange way they did the roads back then.
      I don’t know how I do it either. It’s starting to get to me a little bit. I don’t want to neglect the children just to play with this old stuff. That’s how im starting to see it. Thanks as always mate

      Hi Matty thanks as always. I’m glad you liked it. The crane started great considering where it sat for all that time. The roller has always started like that. Great little engine. The fuel tank is higher than the pump so it can’t run back which is the main problem with this old stuff

      @@stevesplacedownunder all I can tell you mate is put a few bob extra on your super, salary sacrifice if you can and don’t work until you’re too old to enjoy not working. I only had a council job and never had any money. Now I’m 63 and haven’t been to work for five years. I still get up at 4.00 and take the dogs to the beach (in the dark at the moment). But it’s because I WANT TO. Not coz I have to. You’ll get there mate. Take care.

      @mickburns5546 I have thought about the super. We are currently looking at an investment also. My place is located very close to the new western Sydney airport too which will be open in 26 so that will push prices right up. It’s worth a lot now but hopefully more so then. Then maybe I can buy elsewhere and do what I want. That’s the long term plan anyway

    that blade setup on the W6 inter tractor does Angle and tilt. i have the book for it at home as the old man had one untill we sold it not long ago, he cut in the water drains around the drive way with it angled and tilted. the frame on the front pulls out at one end and you insert a Bit of C section. then the blade mounting its self has the Tilt.
    They push okish, but u need some weight on the back.
    Steering gets heavy, sharp turns are easyer when the blades pushing down into the ground witht eh front wheels light

    • @stevesplacedownunder
      @stevesplacedownunder  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hi mate yes it does but not controlled with a lever therefore it doesn’t get used. Years ago when that’s all they had it would have been ok but now I wouldn’t bother unless seeing how it pushes. That’s why I put the hydraulic tilt on the SAME tractor

    • @hurricanedaniel
      @hurricanedaniel 10 месяцев назад +1
