    The 'Old Girl', lots of pics.

    Dad found it in a padock in Tallangata (spelling) on the Mitta Mitta of the Hume Weir. The rear right wheel was removed and a pully system devised to run a saw. the front guards were bent in from small trees growing up through the bumper. We brought it home around 1989-90. It was on full rego until I got posted to Wagga Wagga as rego is steep here in N.S.W. She got repainted in 1994-95 and we found a PTO to go with her, ended up with 3 or so PTO's looking for that bit between the tranny and PTO shaft. Replaced the tractor treads with bar treads. Stumbled apon 5 1948 split rims, appranty brit mill spec 'dunno', Dad use to it drive to and from work. Handed over to me in 2004 with a tear in his eye.

    Pics time,
    At Mt Emu, Vic, Me at the wheel dreaming.

    What does Janelle think of being called the "old girl" when you are just married?

    Hi there

    Very nice indeed - it a credit to its owner "top effort"

    Regarding the capstan winch - I have been told theres a difference between series I & series 2 etc.

    I have been told the winch plate "steel base" on a series one mounts parallel to the front of the bumper bar and series II's etc mount with a 10-20mm gap? - is some one able to clarify this?
