The Ritchie Built.

I am very interested in any information that may be available in relation to this truck. Thank you.

Hi Greame, Ian Lee did an article origonally for the ATHS, not sure if they used it, but I used it in the Heritage Hauler last year. Gives a bit of info on it, but not too comprehensive.

If you want a read I uploaded it, the link will only last about a week.

Thank you very much. Six cylinder Hiroshima Screamer and twin stacks. She would have sounded something.
Shame it is rotting away in a paddock. Would be good if some local enthusiast could grab the remains and put under cover for maybe future display in a transport museum. Bit of history here.
We had here in Canberra a D series Ford single drive prime mover pulling a TNT pantech. She had a UD4 under her. Man, you could hear it coming for miles. Beautiful sound.

The UD 2 stroke was a popular repower in the day

RFW# 042 (8x2) was built with a 5 cyl UD. Last known near Pyramid Hill Vic.

I would be interested in tracking down RFW #042. I have heard that the UD5 had a sound of their own. Any members know of the RFW at Pyramid Hill Victoria?

Many years ago in Townsville a bloke put a UD5 into a Looslybuilt tipper, you could hear it coming for miles, straight through muffler, the driver always wore earmuffs!

I was told of a R200 with a 5cyl UD motor in it out on a station near Meekathara.
May need to have a peek one time.
