    FINISHED!

    Well, it just FLEW thru the RWC. Got it on the 1st inspection. I even got a compliment on the resto.

    Going to VicRoads @ 0920 for the formalities.

    I've still got a GB chirp when it gets really hot but, what the hey, I'll drive it till something becomes obvious. In the meantime, there are 2 more GB's in the shed to pull down & sort out. Plus, having changed the GB crossmemember to bolt-on, the out-in business won't be TOO strenuous.

    Can anyone tell me how many rpm these things do per 20 miles per hour? The 186 does NOT sound too happy @ 50mph!

    Here it is working at clearing a big bulid up of low hanging branches etc:

    (Damn! I don't like Photobacket's new format! Can anyone tell me how to link so that the full size photos come up?)

    looks very nice, i really like the narrow light series.

    on photbucket hover over the image you want and a gear symbol appears in the top right. click that, then select share, then the links tab. copy the IMG code.

    According to my calculations, about 1200rpm in top. Around 3000rpm at 50mph.

    the holden 6's arent as happy at higher RPMS as the original engines but they make better torque

    a pair of 4.11 diffs is a resonable compromise.

    A 186 in good condition should be ok at 50mph, any more won't do it any good. I don't have a tacho in at the moment but i think it was a bit over 3000rpm at 50mph.

    Actually, it also has a strong weldmesh cage which acts like a platform nearly 3 metres off the ground!

    My next agricultural project is a 6mx30m approx veg garden to use up a heap of 3-4" treated pine poles. It needs to be enclosed to keep out birds, rabbits and damn belligerent (mutants??) ring-tailed possums.It will be a breeze with a mobile work platform that height!
