    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Haha big f**king hammer to sort it out over there, our farm was way down a dirt road that would turn impassable for our 4wd Ford ranger after rain, so you can imagine the fun the milk tanker had getting in there, one of the guys had to drive about 40mins in the tractor every morning to where the road met the gravel and tow the tanker all the way to the farm then back out again!

    That old Merc looks like it would be right at home in a museum.

    But would you prefer the power, economy and comfort of a more modern unit over one of these to drive?

    Yes I do!!! Just got a new one this year 2016 540 Volvo. No real comparison between the 2.
    Comfort��
    Economy��
    Power��
    Overall package��
    But if I was buying a truck for the farm, the Merc would be right up there

    Yip, a no brainer for the farm. Simple and reliable.

    The old merc was what came and got our milk 90% of the time, I think they put it on that run as they knew she could take the bumps and bruises and keep coming back for more, some of the newer trucks would have been wrecked the first time they attempted to do that run, they also used to come out with an old V8 two stroke International, shit that thing sounded awesome!

    I used to drive an old Bedford with a 2stroke jimmy in it.
    I stalled it in the middle of a large intersection once trying a too taller gear to get moving, and the fucken thing started up in reverse order! White smoke pouring out of the air cleaner, and noise! I fair shit ay. Turned it off, counted to five, and restarted, luckily the fucken thing fired in the right motor direction and off I went with nerves a bit shattered as I really thought I'd broken it. Big lesson that was for me.
    Ya can't park there mate.

    I used to love sitting in the passenger seat of dads commer when moving the fiatallas or D6, wowfully underpowered but that 3 cylinder 6 pistoned one crankshafted supercharged 2stroke could SCREAM and did constantly.

    And heres one being driven extremely sedately unladen by the sounds of it.

    with the D6 on the lowbed it was crawler gear to get round the esses that used to be halfway up this side of spooners

    I have rebuilt a few of the old commer knocker engines Vietnamcam

    And the right angle intake on the supercharger was perfect for mounting on the side of Holden straight 6 engines
