Something most odd about that ID. Can you pick it?Originally Posted by scarry
Bloody Rolls Royce of Semi's in their day,6D29,48,75,79,i loved them as well.
There was also a special model for transport refrigeration,coupled direct drive to a small Diesel engine.
Luckily this one doesnt run on R500.....
.. Give up? OK fair dos.. " Manufactured in Australia"That has to be a Keeper for the Museum.
Just reminded myself, you know how from Day 1 in the Trade we are taught about moisture & cleanliness on equipment being assembled etc.
Well, years ago, about 1978 while in Singas I saw two blokes overhauling a 6D (?) on the footpath in front of their shopfront. They had it all stripped down as components & were fitting it all back together. I mentioned this in passing to the UK Carrier GM ,(when we got there) & he said something about it would probably run for years He has spent some carrier Design time in Singas previously.
It just looked so very odd. So much for having a Special Air Cond room for this work as the books said. Oh yes, I think they were wearing Thongs which looked a bit out of place those normally being worn around the waist & crotch not on the feet..

That be me!Was it you or Ricardo a while back that said over pressure of the can would ensure the terminal block blew first or words to that effect? Well have I got news for you, or him?
6D79? I cream my Jeans over those.
I agree with your nitro opinion.
I still can't get my head around that can opening up like that.

Put it down to a ****ty weld, I would.
That is the trouble with using the non-diaphragm cylinder valve. Probably are illegal, although the crowd I worked for used one but never had this problem. Maybe we were just lucky. Even if it was shut off tight, the brass needle valve could still be leaking through the worn tapered seat & depends how long the Mech. was gone for & not monitoring his/her gauges. Was it left on overnight? Was the cylinder valve shut? Who knows.?????? There really is no other explanation, it was over pressure that did it.
As I recall a Nitrogen Cylinder can be a 1,000psig or more on a hot day & as it looks like a Cooling Only system it may have been up north somewhere, so?
Wouldn't like to have been looking at it when it went. A definite change of Jocks would have been necessary.
Pleased to say it wasn't one of mine.
I trust the Lurgy has left, or is leaving you today?

Back at work the last two days but weak as a kitten still yesterday, so spent most of it in the office.
Much, much better today, thanks Des.
Just found a cooling tower sans water with the pump still running.
So much for an easy PM with the 3rd year.

YE GODS! Seal still ok?I suppose units everywhere had tripped out.
Water turned off to check something & then forgot to turn it back on perchance? Don't cane his arse, I reckon we have all done that so just sink your boot in up to the heel. Walking around funny for a month will teach him. Or should.

Installers had some pride in this by the looks.
Their motto probably is throw it in, get paid and run away as fast as possible..

Nearly there, you will be fine
Put my work clothes on for the first time today after 3 weeks.
Week into our holiday, out at Windorah,relaxing camped at Cooper ck,bloody nice spot,get the call my Mother had a stroke.
Unfortunately that was the end of her.She was 86 so not a bad innings.
Been sorting out stuff since we got back,13 hour drive straight through, one stop at Maccas and fuel at Roma.
I have 3 brothers so we are all in it, and get on reasonably well so all is going reasonably smoothly so far.
Been through this 3 times before, hopefully never again.

Condolences to you and your family, Paul.
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
Cynical Moi?
Yes, sorry to hear that Paul please accept my condolences.
Re your image. Who will be in the gun when all those units blow their recirced air over each other?
Out of one & into the next one & so on.
Lots of space left to add another 500 units if one is not bothered about roof loadings.
Just as well they ran away.

Splitty bashers the boys call them...Just as well they ran away.
