Unloading the green F model (Bob) Part 1

This video shows unloading the 1980 FR700 using my brother's White 2-135 FWA tractor. The F model was originally owned by Bob Bagley in Qld so it's new name is Bob.
Unfortunately the camera ran out of storage during filming so there is another part to follow.

Awesome morning brother from another country another awesome adventure !!! I know the feeling of working alone but sometimes that's just the way it is

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

That’s so true Robert, thanks for the positivity mate 🙏🏻

[@Stephen-ou4sy]

Piece of cake. None of us were worried

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

Thanks Stephen, it was quite basic as it turned out but it’s always a bit more serious when it starts moving down the ramps.

Just come back from Norfolk Island. Seen a leader truck. Similiar cab etc my old man had one

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

Yes mate they are similar. The very first Leader cab was the same as the fibreglass F model cab. Same grille shape, same headlight surround, same windscreens, same door handles too I think. They changed those features a little while later.

That Ole gal looks like she is ready to go to work

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

It’s pretty tough around the edges mate, but the bones are pretty good

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Don’t have all the fun before we get there son

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

There’s plenty to be had old mate

[@oldamericaniron5767]

How come 40 or 50 years ago I would have called this work and now I call it fun?

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

I reckon you can call it both. It’s good to enjoy what you do

[@alandawson2813]

Wow that is just amazing,

Old rigs Down Under Love That Green F Model Truck Keep Up the good work Billy Lizza Uniontown pa USA

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

Good onya Billy thanks mate. I like it too, there will be more videos of it soon

[@oldamericaniron5767]

I watching and know exactly what you’re going thru. Hooking up and moving something just is way more than twice the work when trying to do it alone. On and off hooking up and steering but you still get it done. Anxious to see yours collection and possibly help with something. I’m sure you’ll have something in store.

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

Thanks mate, it was pretty calm and basic watching it back, but it’s always more tense in the moment.
Looking forward to having you here mate, it will be great
