Start the job with a Kenworth!

Give the Mack a go!

Finish the job with noisy big cam in the white with 26 ton on the drive...just can't quite read the name on the door.

Fortunate Son, well done mate, good to see. Now can you please tell us all the full story here before we tie ourselves in knots trying to work out the real story. I'm sure the man in banana bending land will be impressed. Cheers Tim ;) ;D ::)

im going to take a guess and say that the "BIG CAM" white carried it first as the pictures is the oldest and so is the truck

then the sloping bonnet Valueliner? followed by the big kdub

the dozer and float seem to be a common factor in all the pics as time progressed and year went by you needed to reduce the weight on the drive by adding more axles to the dolly

but idstbc ;D ;D ;D
just my thoughts

cheers matt

Hate to be cheeky but did you just back the White under the gooseneck for the photo op? As Melon said the jack legs are down on timbers in the photo.

Would authorities let you travel with that weight without a dolly underneath the float neck?

I don't know but I'm just asking the question.

Regardless I love the photos and especially the big Cat!!!

well spotted....its all reversed......each pic gains an axle on the dolly from the white back to the k/dub.........but at least the white was cummins powered!!!

G'day and sorry I haven't got back sooner.
The first pic is the Cat D9G, bought new by PMG in 1964 and still in service 2012 being towed by a Kenworth.

Next we shortened the load about 30 km out of Adelaide with the Mack and shorter dolly so we didn't need a police escort.

Then hooked up the White to get the rig into the yard.
