Kyogle Brown & Hurley weekender

[Scallops]

And another fabulous SLOW Inc. trip completed.....and as always, a great bunch of folks and a good time had. This trip had a difference - there were 93 people in attendance. SLOW Inc and the HTA are in agreeance - we shall work together further because it clearly worked....and on behalf of the club, I'd like to publically thank Brown and Hurley, and the hospitality they displayed to all this weekend...

After a quick trip rundown, Trev had us all jumping in our old trucks to hit the road.....

And what a convoy! All filmed as we went over the top of the range and into NSW. Our trucks stretched out for miles! What a sight, and what a sound. The HTA and SLOW anthem - automotive music ringing through the ranges.

Not just trucks either - Jim brought his '53 FX. This isn't restored, it's his first ever car, continuously registed and still on the road. What a fantastic gentleman!

onya Jim. :BigThumb:

We headed over the range and into Kyogle showgrounds, and the HTA put on a top feed for lunch. Thanks fellas, SLOW will have to buy a BBQ and try to return the compliment! So much to check out over a few beers....

Thanks from Scott and Lachy for an awesome weekend. What a great bunch of people, had heaps of laughs and really enjoyed being out and about with like-minded Landy-addicts.
We're looking forward to doing it again!

[incisor]

and who could forget the pajero owner who complimented us on being number 1 !!!

[The ho har's]

A Great weekend, and as usual my series III has died again. Seems every time I take "zara" out on a club trip she has a problem:( She works every day when I drive her, super reliable, but not on trips :mad: The bang at the lights @ Jimboomba sounds like a half shaft :mad: limped home with the yellow button:( tomorrow will tell:( Oh and she ran well home besides that, even idled well when we stopped, go figure :)

Mrs hh:angel:

[Scallops]

Well, that makes 3 of us! At least we all got home eventually, safe and sound. I think distance - and heat, make your commute quite different from a trip.

Hope Zara is an easy fix. :)

[jerryd]

Thanks to all who organised this trip it was really enjoyable :) It made the late nights putting the dormobile back together worthwhile.
I enjoyed talking to Jim about his exploits in his old holden, it reminded me of this wonderful fellow Tom Delaney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia who was another great character.
It was also good talking to Mr Toy about his collection of Austin vehicles, Marcus offered him $200 for his old blue Austin which made him chuckle, I thought it was quite reasonable as he only paid $75 for it back in '63 :D

There were some great vehicles taking part and it was nice to be in amongst them on the road, some of the scenery en route was really good to see.

[Killer]

I have brought shame to the establishment,:eek: poor old Tinman finished the last leg of his journey on the back of a tilt tray. After coughing and spluttering up and down the hills on the Lions Road, he gave up the ghost near Rathdowney, with a suspected centre ripped out of the clutch plate. I am able to select any gear with the engine running, without depressing the clutch and no drive.
Apart from that misadventure, Haddo and I had a top weekend. Many thanks must go to the Heritage Truck Association for their organising and hospitality for the weekend,as well as Jim Hurley and the Brown Hurley Group for opening their premises up to us, and for supplying Breakfast on Sunday, also to Doug Campbell for allowing us to view his private collections, truly inspiring.

Cheers, Mick.

[Pickles2]

Some good "machinery" there.
Brown & Hurley....would they be just about the oldest kenworth Dealer in Aus?
Cheers, Pickles.

Some good "machinery" there.
Brown & Hurley....would they be just about the oldest kenworth Dealer in Aus?
Cheers, Pickles.

Yes for a quite a time Brown & Hurley were the only Kenworth dealers in Australia, but Kenworth also sold direct from the company. Brown & Hurley sold their first Kenworth in 1965 which was an American built truck.
According to the Kenworth website, custom built trucks were imported to Australia from 1965 until the first locally built truck rolled off the Bayswater production line in 1971.
I thought that some were built at Footscray prior to the Bayswater plant operating, but it seems I am incorrect.

cheers, Mick.

I did a good job on the short half shaft, now "zara is back on the road, we ratted some half shafts out of a vehicle and she is driving with the yellow button up:D

Not surprising for a White truck to be so named? They built cars, trucks and tractors from 1910 through 1980 and were one of the oldest auto companies in the USA.

Too many quick starts Carolyn :angel: you left us all standing :D

[Dinty]

Every time I see a small Red 'David Brown' tractor, it reminds me of a missed opportunity about 20 years ago. I took a mate out to the central west of NSW to collect a 109 S2A Land Rover, parked next to it on the rubbish tip was a complete Red 'David Brown' tractor, the engine turned over by hand, it was driven there and left because they had bought a bigger diesel tractor. The property owner said I could take the tractor if I wanted too, I shrugged my shoulders and thought why?? would anyone want a tractor???, after all I did cut/dismantle a 'Farmall' which was languishing behind the garage in my backyard 27 years ago, anyway what a great trip you people have had, many thanks for sharing the images, cheers Dennis
