Thanks Dave another great video of what looked like a great little show. Great job getting so many of your trucks out there to support their efforts. 👍
Mate is there somewhere online that has a calendar of all these events, I almost missed the Mack muster and now I’ve missed Ivanhoe. But thank you for taking us for a walk around the site and narrate on what’s what to the best of your knowledge. And I know you’d probably want us truck nuts away from your gear but if your ever looking for volunteers to help move your gear to shows etc let us know.
G’day mate, the HCVC page on Facebook is probably the best supporter and advertiser of truck shows that I can think of. Because they have members across most states, it seems to be a good place to promote a show. Thanks for the heads up on moving a bit of gear around, the next Mack Muster will probably be show that I try to take a number of trucks too, so I’ll keep you posted. But any time you want to go for a run or take one of the trucks for a drive just give me a yell.
Thanks for showing this Dave . The Mack B-61 and B-62 were everywhere when I was kid in the early 60's .I still miss the way they look and sound . True classic workhorses ! That show was fantastic mate ! Lots of memories for me there . Thanks again mate . Scott 🌵
Thanks Dave enjoyed the show,in 1974 i started an apprenticeship with the E&WS department in Adelaide,as the SA state water and sewerage authority they had big machinery and they 4 B61 macks pulling Drake low loaders complete with winches to pull the trailer goose neck back up onto the prime mover.They also had Atkinsons ERF,s and Foden mostly Gardeners newer ones had Cummins ,was funny when the B61 were in the shop for service and repairs non of the mechanics could drive the twin stick Mack box so the driver would have to do the road test with the mechanic sitting in the passenger seat,as a mechanic thought you might get a laugh at this story ,was such a fun time in life thats why its so satisfying to see these old rigs still going Cheers kym Adelaide
Thanks for that story Kym, what an amazing time you experienced there. I wish o was around to see those trucks when they were new and in service. The gardener is such a beautiful running engine, they have a unique sound, it would’ve been great to see and hear them in service from new. Have you got any photos of those old trucks? Thanks again mate 🙏🏻
Thanks Kerry, I’m glad you enjoyed it mate. It’s not a huge show, but a country show with a good feel about it, and plenty of variety in trucks and machinery. I’ll bet Fiat aren’t still in Moorabbin now! You would have some great memories of Melbourne back then. My old Cranvel yard crane was put together by Cranes and Shovels in Moorabbin
Thanks Dave, fabulous video. When I get there again it will have to be for at least a month. It will take some planning as to time of year and what to see. Until then your videos are much appreciated!
I appreciate your comment Geoffrey, thankyou mate 🙏🏻 I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was a great show with plenty of variety. It would be great to have you back in Australia again, and I feel as though we should return the favour and head to your home too.
Hey Dave ,looks like another great weekend at the truck and machinery show ,some good looking gear there,the FX Holden was the first model to be built which had the jail bar grill ,other than that not a lot of difference,but well before my time,thanks for the video 😎🇦🇺👍
Dave , I just looked on map for Ivanhoe and it looks like you made quite a trip. I forget what town you’re in just know quite a distance south of Steve.
Bruce's LP1418 from Narromine has numerous modifications, even a different dash in the cab, by the way, I don't think the Mercedes Benz LP1418's were a cab over? Great coverage of the vintage tractors and crawlers, well done, pity we didn't see some more old Pommy trucks. I learnt to drive a truck when I was around 12 years old in a "retired' old B61 Thermodyne Mack with quad box.
Thanks mate

Dave , I just looked on map for Ivanhoe and it looks like you made quite a trip. I forget what town you’re in just know quite a distance south of Steve.
It’s a bit of a trip from Mangoplah Geoffery, it’s about 500kms from home.
@ That’s a long haul in an old truck.
@ I’ve been running 10 hours a day hauling corn in 20 year old Freightliner. That tires me out.
