Bloody lovely countryside and turbo whistle you can’t beat it
It’s a great drive out there mate. Very scenic and enjoyable
Working on the Ford will bring back memories. When I was a teenager I would go visit and help my old neighbor. He was doing a rebuild on the flathead for his 53 pickup. How the years have flown by and now I own some of his stuff. If my memory serves me correctly he visited Australia when he was in his seventies and now I’m coming to visit and get to help on a Ford flathead. Makes me think about life and how fortunate I’ve been. See you next weekend!
Hi mate sorry for late reply. The more comments I get the longer it’s taking me to reply to them all. I hope it brings back good ones. You will have a great time here and meet some characters that’s for sure
Oh Steve, loved it the way you guys walking around with grog in hand...........perfect Auisse
Thanks for watching Terry 🍺🍺
Perfect day out ,, few beers , few yarns . I’m jealous.
Mate we had a great time loading up all that good stuff
That Renault tractor could wait to fire up just based on its eagerness to go , it deserves the preserve mode
She certainly was keen mate. My goal is to get a roof over all these old girls and preserve them as much as I can.
G'day Steve ,
Great vid .
Sure got a nice haul of the good old iron there .
Thanks for sharing it all with the faithful.
Respect....!
Was an excellent weekend loading all that mate
G,day steve a bloody good job by all ,more gems saved you keep your chin up steve you have heaps of fans.. cheers mate...
Hi mate thank you and thanks for your support also
Canada calling. I'm glad to see old Steve found someone to take over his collection.
Hi over there mate. Yes mate as far as I know it all went to good homes. The stuff I got certainly did.
Thanks Steve
Pleasure mate
Clear blue sky , nice day for the trip 🌞...Old KW sounds awesome on the Jake's...better under load I reckon 😊
Good seeing Mick and your old man having a ball , it's what you call a good fun weekend.
It was a great weekend mate and very enjoyable. We struck a bit of rain coming back through the mountains and unloading but didn’t affect it to much. We all had a ball I think. I certainly did anyway. Kenworth went unreal. Really loud turbo whistle but I got used to that really quickly
Great video, loved the old property you when to, so much stuff laying around. Kind'a wish I'[d kept my 270 AC tractor. Good to see the wild life as well. Thanks for sharing.
It was a great time exploring and loading up stuff mate indeed. I had a great time
Looks like a great weekend had by all mate 🍺🍺👍🏻
It was a blast mate indeed
Steve's place down Under Love That 46 truck Keep Up the good work Billy Lizza Uniontown pa USA
Thanks as always Billy. Thanks for following mate
Good Score Steve. I love that 55 Ford Mainline Ute. I'd drive that every day. We only had those in the states for a little more then a decade. They keep talking about bringing them back. Bob Lutz when he was at GM in the early 2000s brought your Holden Monaros up and badged them as GTOs. The purist hated them. I loved them ! They were over 400hp and fast as hell ! I still want one. Cheers Mate ! 🍺🤛😎👍p.s. what do ya call those lizards ? That little dude was cool.
Hi mate. Yes it was a good ute that one. I went away once in it. The Monaro were popular here for a while but not a very common sight now.
Beautiful scenery. Much like California USA.
Sure is nice mate
Great stuff as usual Steve, I'm loving the old Ford already.
Thanks Jon hopefully we can do something with it soon too show everyone
Another great score of old ones Thanks for sharing
Thank you mate it’s my pleasure
Steves gets spoilt for a weekend, lol. Great video mate, if you want to put the old Ford and Renault into a container and send it here, you can, lol. I am looking forward to your upcoming videos 👍
Geez I had a good time mate going through all that old stuff. I was only spoiled with power and comfort, it was still an expensive trip😁. I think she’s fairly rare now that Renault. I can send them over mate. Plenty more to come
Well that Renault was a surprise! Thought you might have a battle on your hands, and need to yell "merde!" about 100 times, while smokin Gitanes cigarettes and wavin yer arms around, to get it going. I was dead wrong - She ran like a champ! Like the '46 Ford pickup too. Glad to see you fellas eatin yer vegetables - barley, anyway. 8^) Yeah those flatheads are not lightweights. If I'm not mistaken, that second one you loaded , the '54 as the young fella said, may be out of a Lincoln or a Mercury, lookin at the exhaust layout. Beautiful KW you rode in for the trip. The whistle of power! Liked the lathe and bikes in the shop too. The 327 is one of Generous Motors' finest - one of my faves - but you might need wheelie bars on the Chev C15 Blitz truck with that engine. Great episode Steve, really enjoyed it!
The Renault did and didn’t surprise me mate. If you knew the bloke Steve where it come from, then you’d understand. Very brainy bloke when it comes to old stuff like that, bikes, saws, car’s tractors or anything old it wasn’t a problem to him.
The 54 flathead I think you are right, it has EAC heads on it which were the higher compression/performance ones which were Mercury from my research. That are apparently sort after by hot rod blokes and other old racers that use them.
327 are great engines and it had to come home with us. The Blitz is only a thought, we were going to use a Holden v8 I have but this would suit more. I have a chev blitz that hasn’t made the channel yet, I still have to pick it up.
Kenworth was a pleasure to drive. Comfortable and powerful that’s for sure
Great equipment to
Thank you mate
Great video Steve. Enjoyed the ride and it was great watching some blokes just doing what blokes do. Lovely scenery and that fella had some great old diamonds in the rough there. I'm a flatty guy so can relate to the old motors and the jailbar. It looked in pretty good shape. Take care Steve, I'm enjoying browsing the back catalogue. Mart in England.
Hi Matt thanks for watching. That was a great trip that was. It was so exciting. You didn’t know what you were going to stumble across. Thanks for watching the older vids too mate
Cold sandwiches, fair dinkum that is some funny stuff. Love the content mate of you breathing life back into old beasts. king brown video was just pure hilarity. In the Philippines, we found Lord browns. Red horse beer. 1 L of 8%, don’t get a few of those under your belt. One minute you’ll be swinging from a chandelier in a Gentlemans establishment and next minute you’re disorientated in a park.
Thanks for watching mate. Always good to see a new comment. I love getting these old beasts going again. I have a close mate that goes there fairly regularly and he was telling me about the Red Horse. One particular bar he said they are free after the first 6 bottles, but he can only get to 6 and he’s gone😆. Geez that’s strong beer. I’d have a go but I’m certainly no exception to being able to handle too much. 6 would certainly pull me up hard. Even 6 of our kingys at 4.9% I’d be more than done I’d say. Great stuff mate
Much quieter ride than your Road Boss, but I still personally prefer the screaming of the 2 stroke.
Nice selection of stuff you picked up on the journey.
It’s a White 4000, not a Road Boss
Hi mate yes it certainly was quieter and a hell of a lot more powerful but I know what you mean. I just wanted to get out there and back though and cruise along and not work for it😁. There’s certainly a time and place for the white though mate
Very good!! The brilliant collection of bikes alone could have made a full episode fo me!
I nearly could of got the bike blokes together that were there and done an episode on them Neil. I didn’t give it a thought to be honest mate
Awesome morning brother another awesome adventure from my brother down under in Australia !!! It's always an adventure thanks for bringing us along brother pray for safe travels and awesome weather
Always a pleasure to bring you along mate and many happy returns. I’m glad you enjoyed
Love the tractor truck is sweet also . Australian countryside is beautiful, always wanted to go to Australia. Love the videos keep them coming . Thanks take care.
Thanks Mike. It is a nice drive out that way. You should visit mate. There’s plenty more to come
One day steve, we need a walk through of the old trucks and machines, and good luck to you. Here's a king brown for you 🍾
I will mate I’ve thought about doing it
Good vid Steve.............the aussie can do attitude, thankyou Sir
My pleasure mate and thank you for the comment and watching
Great save Steve. That tractor and F truck look awesome.
Yeah I’m very happy with it all Colin. Both are similar age and in great condition
Some good scores there Steve , nice collection of engines , good work mate 🤙🤙
Hi mate thank you. I was happy with it all. Was a fun weekend
See how much quicker it goes when you haven’t got a bottle in your hand Steve haha. Good commentary as well 😂
It did mate and was better to watch someone else start something up too. I’m very happy with this video
Hi steve my dad learnt to drive in a jailbar ford in the 50s it was dark green with cream grille an wheels . Cheers mate
That’s good Peter, it wasn’t very old then mate. I can’t wait to have a drive of it. Those colours would of suited it
What engines in the KW???
Would be cool to see a walk around of it and some details on it,
Same with the green mack that shifted the flat top.
I know you can't do everything Steve.
Keep up the great work.
It’s a cat c15 in this one mate. Goes very nicely. Not my truck so to do a walk around may be a bit hard at this stage
@@stevesplacedownunder no worries at all, thought it was a C15.
You have some beautiful trucks over there.
Yeah after the Valueliner i switch likes too KW dont think ya can go passed em but luv old Macks
It certainly was a pleasure to drive after the old ones
Mate, that ute is fantastic !! I wouldn't mind owning such thing !
That Renault is quite the surprise too starting like that!
Belt drive as well, I bet you could come up with something for that.
Cheers mate, Ard
It is a nice ute Ard. It’s definitely a barn find as they say. The tractor surprised me mate after a bit over 11 month’s sitting there. You never know what I will come up with🤣🤣. You will have to stick around and see mate
@@stevesplacedownunder Don't worry about it mate! I will !
Beautiful Pl., Australia👍🏼‼️
Thank you it sure is
Holy snap, I've got some serious 'envy' goin' on for that pickup truck!! That thing looks freakin' awesome!!! Dying to see what you're going to do with it!
I think it will be left very similar to how it is mate. Will put a little body on it, possibly just a tray and headboard and do up the interior and rebuild the old engine. I like the patina of this thing. It’s a shame the original well back isn’t still there but it rusted away years ago
You can hear the power 😂
Hahaha it looks like you’re driving in upstate New York Just on the wrong side of the road😂🤘🏼😁‼️
I believe you mate, I wouldn’t know what it’s like there😁😁
Haha you don’t need ear defenders in that truck 👍
Was a pleasure Martin indeed
Did the Mack have the E9 in her, sounded like a one. Nice rig, Great Haul, sad for the old fella letting it all go. Those bikes were bloody beautiful. 500 preunit Trumpy and the AJS wouldve made me happy.
Cheers for a good episode.
I had a pre-unit Triumph 650 almost 50 years ago, great bike and as the story always goes I wish i hadn’t sold it. I should drag my ‘71 and do a first start in 10 years this summer. Not stock, it’s been trimmed down to 325 pounds.
Hi mate, not sure if there was a Mack in the video was there? Unless i mentioned one. The bikes were nice and I’m sure everything was there to put them back together. Hopefully that’s what will happen with them. There’s some dollars sitting there if it was all going
Looks like new tyres on the back wheels of the tractor.
Yes they certainly are in good condition. Not sure how long they been on there
Hope you found a good home for the old chainsaw s Steve
He had a big chainsaw collection that went to a good home mate. These are just bits and pieces that are left. Not sure what happened to it after we left
I remember when those customlines were a dime a dozen you could not give them away, not now rear as rocking horse shit.
I’d like a 4 door one mate. Be nice to cruise around in
Luv the Mainline i had one them ,,, stupididly didnt thinck atime Sold im
They are a good looking ute Ron
7.5 minutes in. Sitting out in the bush at the side of the road. Watch out for the bloody DROP BEARS Mate.
Drop bears are a dangerous thing
I was keeping an eye out
Steve, do you have a strong back or did you load up on anti-inflammatories ?
No anti-inflammatory mate but certainly was heavy. They a big lump of iron those old engines. Glad we found that rickety old trolley thing. We found just enough stuff to improvise getting them loaded. I felt it Monday though
what are you going to do with the ford?
Hopefully club registered at this stage
Does that T404 have six rod or kw 8 bag, I drove a T404 aswell that had 8 bag and was as rough as six, shit of a suspension, freightliner 4 bag are nice, neway, volvo 8 bag, hendrickson primaxx 4 bag are all nice
Gday mate yes it has 6 rod under it. It didn’t ride to bad I thought for springs. Hendrickson and neway are ok but in the experience I had in them they wouldn’t even out quick enough and I found I had to lock the power divider to get out of a driveway or to take off after tipping. A nice ride but the airlines were too small to let the air in and out fast enough. That’s were Kenworth 8 bag are good, they have that big airline between them
@@stevesplacedownunder yeah when
I first started I had six rod in my fibreglass cab atkinson and walker beam in K123, first truck that had airbag was volvo FH16 that had full front and rear locker was a pig when it wanted to only go straight haha, then next truck is my argosy with airliner, would be good if all airbag trucks had harebag system on them
