The Mexican curse strikes again

[Disco300Tdi]

Rumour is fact that the Mexican curse hit a
convoy of north bound travellers last Friday

More to come 8O

[Ace]

Thats true, but all is good now, the trailer is fixed. The shackle gave out, but some bush know how and some poor farmers fence got it going again. Matt

[sclarke]

Reminds me....

the back cover of the LROCV magaizne this month....

There is a coil sprung landy with a lump of wood bound in place of the spring... Bloody Brilliant..................

We had a bloke come thru the job the other day with a stuffed wheel bearing,so hot you couldnt touch the wheel anywhere..
He decided to leave the trailer and its contents on the side of the road and go to Collie 30ks away for parts.NOT A GOOD PLACE TO LEAVE ANYTHING,plenty of Pig hunters around that steal anything they can get their hands on,we have lost plenty of fuel out there,and it was nearly knock off time so we wouldnt be around to keep an eye on it for him.
I told this guy,if he removed the wheel,used one of his truckie straps(those proper heavy duty ones) to strap the axle as high as it would go.He would make it to his destination,albiet at a slower pace, without the risk of loosing his trailer and its contents.
He just looked at me like I had 3 heads with exposed tits on my 3 foreheads style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

See, I have an effect and i'm not even there :wink:

[Ace]

Well, we prepped the repairs and got some steel on saturday morning in town, and Discowhite welded the trailer (now better than it was when the left) back to health.

The mexican curse continued over the weekend. It all started when Hiline decided he would drive through my dam (which WAS fully of reeds) the reeds got caught in the fan belt and damaged it. a quarter of the way in on the sunday the belt self destructed and pealed into a million srtips. He had a spare but it was an old one and it was marginally better than the on which we just pulled off. Any way, it lasted the rest of the day and i am assuming it got him to Cobram where he was getting another belt today. I guess we will find out when he gets home tomorrow. Matt
