What info?

I nursed a 1959 one back to going. Posts on here start back maybe 15 years and have tapered off since.

Last one I recall was responding to a bloke who needed information on access the power steering unit. Caused the thought that I might have been the only bloke in the world who had been in there in the last 15 or so years. Now there are at least 2 of us.

IIRC the Oz model number is 124 which you won't find in AC part books of the era.

Gday Ian Beale , I have s/n 524/112 . Got it running last week but broke a chain 100 m from where it sat for a few years . Got it onto the drop deck and off then up a good hill to the workshop but after a day cleaning up pto controls and shafts I found the a few nasty bits in the gearbox drain hole . From what I can work out from a 45 Australian parts book is it must be high and low with reverse on one stick then 1-2-3 on the other . Has an oil pump on the top shaft of gearbox . Have you seen that as the 45 manual didn’t have it or the ad40 one I found .Appartently 5500 hrs on it , all gauges look genuine and generator still charging , came from Emerald- gemfields way over to near Miriam vale 14-15 years ago . I have fiat dozers so I know the most likely parts supplier but you haven’t seen any about for a gearbox and a brake assembly . Thanks
