Today we get to completing this dreaded sand with gravel but this time we gave the tractor and we are towing on each load in order to complete our goal.
Hey there! I used to be the store man from Stalker pumps/ Malcolm Thompson pumps, give them a call there at the Perth airport and ask for Brad Payne, he will help you with all the spare parts! They still make the 80HL 60HL and 65HL pumps parts are all still poured into n the foundry at Perth Airport and they stock all the glad packing and seal kits for it!
All you need for repacement seals etcnot a problem. The impeller suction cover only has a "O' ring as a joint. All you need is the diameter of the 'O' ring rubber and the diameter of the cover where the 'O' ring sits. if not available off the shelf, can be made up very easily. As for the mechanical seal, these pumps are a penny a dozen. Get the details off the nameplate and you wiil ill be able to buy off the shelf. it wiil beto your advantage to get both the 'O' ring and a mechanical seal as spares along with a tube of loctite plumbers sealant/lubricant as used for tap repairs. You don't have to be a fitter or mechanic to replace the seal. DO NOT SPIN THE PUMP DRY AS THE MECHANICAL FACES CAN BE DAMAGED. That pump should see into the grave. Stalker took over from AJAx pumps when Ajax were wrecked by the Company Stripper who took over MacPhersons
Yer I have, think they are just in America though? But we already have a very good 75t strap in the shed just wasn't using it for this job as its rather long and heavy!
I got some yankum shakels shipped to Esperance cost of shipping is astronomical, getting anything out of America is hugely expensive in freight for no reason To get a big rope shipped.over would be 3x the cost of the rope, there's local guys making them here now though,
We currently have a 2 track machine, they are ok for pulling in a straight line but that's about it. They scuff way to much when turning so 4 tracks are the way to go!
They are, but not as much as you think. We wear long pants and long sleeved shirts for two reasons. The main being caner aware, they obviously help prevent us from getting sunburnt so avoiding skin cancer. And the second is you don't need to worry about your arms and legs so much when working weather it be getting on the ground or getting dirty etc.
I have time stamp the segment if you press blue writing will take you straight to it. ua-cam.com/video/RglPFY6xh6c/v-deo.htmlsi=usxxNxp4LIsiWCnc 22:25 go to place when flick loads.

Love the the stationery engines you have on the pallets in the hay shed, who is the maker? One of them looks like a triple cylinder Lister.

Gday mate. Have you heard of the Herculano dump trailers ? They are sold in the west.
I haven't, but im guessing they would be the go for doing gravel like this though, even dump line coming out of the middle of the truck!
What’s your opinion on the versatile machines ?
So bloody hot in perth hills since the new year, another hot few days on the way and no rain......
Yer it can stop now!
Hey mate what camera setup you using to record these videos, and also drone?
I'm using a GoPro 11 with the media kit, then have rode wireless mic attached to that. For the drone is a mavic zoom
Mechanical seals and engineering SA. i you give pump model etc they will help , best company out there. cheers Col
Hay John. Have you heard about yankum ropes? :)

just on the topic of the rowtrac did you ever think of the challenger 2 tracks because of 3m they go up to about 650hp

When do we get to see the military Mack?
Very soon!!
I notice you all wear pants. I thought shorts were more common to wear in Australia.
They are, but not as much as you think. We wear long pants and long sleeved shirts for two reasons.
