The Dash for Dubbo..An Aerodyne on a mission!

Odd it's only got one air cleaner mounted behind the RHF wheel like it would if it had a Cummins, all the ones I've seen with 8V92's had 2 air cleaners behind the cab.

Back on topic....

About day 3

The work continues...
The cab accessories are removed to enable repair and replacement.
Fittings are often difficult to remove after years of service..
Standard spanners ..are a waste of time in some instance.
Often, chassis bolts are rusted in too and will not let go..
With the heads cut off, using oxy gear, the heat often enables the remaining shank to be punched through the chassis.
Its recommended practice to replace fastenings with suitably graded bolts for the job..
Usually a minimum of grade 8 (hi tensile) bolts are used through a chassis along with suitable nuts and

Thanks Swisho,,
No direct contact on the aerodyne project for me..
I am only the poster of the said rebuild...
A few of the boys thought it may be a good idea to keep you blokes in the loop with this one..
Just a bit of a of 'hands on' thread for a change..

I am on the final stretch of a project down here, thats been spread out over 2 1\2 years..
Nothing special, just been building up an old twinsteer for young Billy....

Stuey and i have been full noise on the fuel job though...
it has turned out to be a bigger job than we first thought..
We are working about a 500 mile radius now, but for some reason we don't end up with much in the drum at the end of the week??

Standby for the next installment,,

Hey Chocs........Noice!!!

The boys will like this thread, he's hard at it today, I've never heard him cut a phone call short to work on a truck like he did to me this morning

Cam, I remember this thing running around Sydney as a rigid tipper, it was real rough. It looked like a tool box door had fallen off but the new owner informed me that it had had an aircleaner fitted under one sode of the cab so the tipper body would fit and the intake was through the tool box

Your right mate , every time i looked at this unit i kept thinking i know this truck and the brain kept remembering something about the luggage door , and it always looked like some mechanic had rubbed his greasy hands all over the cab .

Yep, That's the truck
