903 Cummins R200

sory werkhorse im getin confused dumness again : :

Hi Bongo, if you look under the little picture Melon has on the right of all his posts it has where he is from, West Wyalong, not everyone on the forum has where they are from, only the ones who have filled in all the places on the register thingo.

A PM is, as Werk says, just a Private Message, if you look at the top right of your screen it will have Good Morning Bongobobob, then under that, you have 4 (or how many you have) messages, 4 are new, the number will be red if the havn't been looked at. Move the little arrow your mouse controls to over where it says 4 messages then click on it, that will open up the message thing.

re903 r 200 chapter 4 after i purchased tha r200 from grimo it become what seemed to be never ending chase of replaceing universals yokes drive shaft balances and output shaft bearings pinyen bearings untill a mecanic frend of mine took a look at the problm and quickly worked tha problm out being tha drive angel at tha front uni was15degrees n rear was 11deg optum is 3 to 5 deg at each uni so to fix tha uni angel at tha gearbox we had to lift tha front of tha motor one and half inches there for every fabrication to fit tha motor changed example exhaust radiator conections throtel linkages ectect torke rod on tha diff as a resault 2 men 2 weeks and a monster bill i pulled out of melb am launched her north with not one vibration just a ever so slight mermar in tha gbox but once over 90 smooth as i was once again a happy man and i cld finaly strech her legs without any vibrations until cuming down round tha slight left hander on to connors crk just out side bookam on tha old new road had just nailed couple kwickasair shuttle s a r,s n cuming bak in line for tha bridge and an allmighty explosion went off and tha gearstick disapeard threw tha floor every wheel except tha steer locked n launched it in a trail of diesel gears air yanks bits npieses ect ect .it cleaned everything out frm flywheel to tha pinion bent one shassis flange down other flange down riped a gigantic hole in tha right hand fuel tank one cld say it wrote tha truck off my bank roll was allready wounded this finished it off . what caused this one may ask? it became aparent that tha aux counter shafts collapsed damage already caused from drive line allinment .to cut a long story short i find out bit later tha truck had a history of gbox rears n even diff trouble since it was re built be for i got it without saying anymore about that situation i battled on with any money as best i cld but it is hard to rebuild a truck n keep a famly enough of that era . next app with oi girl was on euroa bypass she was 12yard tipper then running wet mix road base from pug mill 2 tha autograder one end of tha job to tha other 9km run 300ton per day then finaly to tas where she got a full re fit shassis rails up except motor gbox n diff then spent next few years runing devonport to burnie n launceston with a bit of mainland syd bris n sum north QLD then i swaped kim booth of meander tas 4 a relocatable 3 bedroom house (broke my heart but my kids still live in tha house at port sorell tas best money she ever made) i dought she will ever go again but i trewly hope so THE END (over!!!) :'(

Hi Bongobobbob

No need for apologies, mate.
73 spelling mistakes in 1 post must be a record, so I say congratulations to you.
Its what you say, and not how you say it, that matters ....

Ask Swishy :- ) he knows this too.

Cheers
