NHMA Fairbridge event - W.A.

Oooh, I nearly forgot! Here's a couple of additional truck pics! ..
The first one shows 4 nice old Inters in a row .. with the R200 on the far left, the most interesting ..



Apparently this truck was one of the last R200's assembled, and was built up from spare parts, according to a bloke who was standing nearby, and who seemed to know all about it ..
What is most interesting, is that the R200 is Cat powered .. and by a relatively rare, 4 cyl, 1670 Cat engine.
The 1670 was turbocharged and aftercooled, and made 145 or 165 HP, according to application .. and it was basically the 4 cyl version of the 1673 ..



Here's a picture of the 1670 engine, and specs of the early 1960's Cat engines ..

there was another cub cadet in the IHC area as well , wunnotsosharptak

a real wun, not the baby of em

OzFamine - Yeah, I saw that one .. but I thought you'd like a pic of the not-so-common one, to keep your Cub Cadet fantasies alive .. I'm surprised you haven't asked, "Where's the snowplow to go with it??" ..

the baby wun didnt get the snow/dirt blade option

tis only the real cub cadets that get that

u didnt take a piccy of me taktaa an plough

me gunna cry :'( :'( :'( :'(

Thanks, Bugly. Wrong Dennis it would seem. LOL.

Ron, those four in a row are all Brian Brookes' like the ASC. I've driven the little K and the van to Brookton (Brian's that sort of bloke - share the love). First time I've seen the R200 finished. IIRC, he got her from Bridgetown with a considerably longer chassis. Baz had a hand in shortening her from memory so you can be sure it was a good job.

Thanks, Bugly. Wrong Dennis it would seem. LOL.

Ian Bellamy. That's it. Thanks, Bugly. Am surprised to hear he sold it but he got rid of a little DG Foden in 2006 and had his big Albion CXthing for sale half-restored. No idea what happened to that.
