6x6 acco

Went past the scrap yard over the weekend and seen a 6x6 acco sitting beside the machinery shed . it's painted red and white and has a white kangaroo on the doors .It is also a flat tray. Haven't any pics yet but will get some in the next day or 2 .

Great pics Mick, brings back memories, next time we catch up I'll tell you a story from 1982 up at Pucka when I was a No.3 on a 5.5" being towed flat chat by one of these doing a 'move to alternate'. We must have picked up a Barb Wire fence somewhere on the range and as we had just crested a hill and comming down the other side when all 6 wheels locked up...we were on loose gravel and there were 9 of us in the back with all the stores and Ammo getting tossed around as this thing slewed sideways!!. TST broke 2 pairs of bolt cutters trying to free up the main tailshaft. There's more but I'll tell you when I see you.

Cheers Steve.
