After the hottest wet season on record im more than happy to feel some cold.

Cheers Ean

See if you can get a copy of Kurt Johannsens's book 'A son of the red centre' before you visit the RTHOF. The bloke's story is amazing and you'll get more out of the displays of his stuff at the museum if you know about it beforehand. I'm sure as a mechanic you'll find it fascinating.

Hey Andrew, I have joined your union as of last week. Fire breaks had to be cleaned here at NRTHoF, so muggins was nominated to volunteer Machine on site is 1938 CAT Model 12 , interestingly has US7 stamped on plate....i am wondering if that means the 7th fleet ? anyway i had to sit on the wheel for a few minutes to remember how to start the old thing. All good, after a minor service and a length of rope ,had 2 cyls smokin then another 6 and a couple of miles of firebreak done.

So now then ,do want to swap the new grader you posted about last year?
