Description

Not too sure about the age of the engine but the truck is 68 years old at least. Originally it had a Meadows 6 Cylinder 115 bhp petrol unit. I cannot tell you when it was changed over though. I have it on good authority that it kicks out a bit of black smoke on start up but is still a good runner when warmed up.. Will you look at that shine though. Thanks for stopping by for a look and for any comments you care to make. Ain't life wonderful!! Please ZOOM for that up close look.

Amazing that it can still shine up that way after being used for so many years. I don't know a whole lot about engines, but even I can tell this one is about as simple as they get, look under a hood now and nothing makes any sense!! Great foto, Jeff, as all of these are!!

Was going to say the same as Marilyn about how they get them so shined up still. Even the engine not a speck of muck on it ! They must spend hours keeping them in this condition. I see they have tied the bell up Jeff probably so no annoying kid could get a hold of it. A cracking shot mate.

Marvellous. Even though I am a straight female, I have always rather liked machines, especially ones that are easy to understand. It was all so easy when there were no electronics, even I understood SUCK,SQUEEZE,BANG,FART. My brother gave up being a mechanic to drive a cab when he needed a computer instead of a bag of spanners.Lovely pic!
