this picture has been floating around face book for the last few days
pretty cool old jigger I reckon
Looks like a D4 motor only going by the 4 injector lines and the pilot motor on the back
notice the starting rope tied around the windscreen stay
Just the thing for someone to make and take to that big rally you blokes are having shortly maybe a old fashion water cart trailer to hook on the grease plate

Cool picture, judging by the cab & fenders it looks more like a MACERPILLAR. Thanks for sharing the photo ROY

That's pretty awesome! Probably not going to whip out and and pass anyone but props for cobbling together a creative solution back in the day. 5.1L isn't much motor either. Thanks for sharing the pic. I wonder what the history of the truck is? Where? Who? Why? Anyone that knew is probably gone by now.

What do we think that round hub-looking thing behind the rear wheel is?

I believe the truck is a Mack AB. Looks like it fits together pretty well.

That's really a good looking rig. I wonder if it still exists today. It would be a wonderful show piece.

Very neat looking set up for a using what was about. I was thinking we could name it a DW 1 but it may be more a DW 2 as you could us a D2 engine and have a lesser size unit so lower numbered. Or have the experts all agreed this is a D4 engine.



From past endeavors if we could gethttp://www.acmoc.org/bb/images/smilies/new/hail.gif 7up puller started it could happen.



Just for Deas I put my incompetence out for all again, the emogee only transfers as code.

Oh Glen if you build one looks like a little more room to get my clumsy hand in to wind the rope. The rope in picture dose look custom made in it is longer than standard I think.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
