Thanks to a tax cheque, and a helpful backload, the Goat arrived at my door; it then got a dose of performance nerves and refused to start for half an hour. Blocked the cul-de-sac up with a low loader for half hour and all the neighbours got a good look. I also got a good look on my last R&R...

****, I was planning on picking up a cab cover from mutt parts ...

Ingenuity and progress... One motor pool goat underway.

Yeah mate, GO 80/90. So says LO-9-2320-242-12, you're not in what i'd call arctic conditions or below 0F in Echuca. There's a mil spec for it if you want to look it up MIL-L-2105, cross ref to civilian is the same according to document at...

Rick, you're right, BNE is officially sub-tropical... But compared to Sydney, Melbourne etc....

Your wish sir, is my yada yada yada... pic of RHD converted cab attached, courtesy of a mate who happened to be visiting relatives in Orange. Spock

Pics as requested, no detail on the RHD conversion i'm afraid, these pics were provided by the previous owner. Spock

FIFO from WA That'll make two in Echuca, one at Chanters winery in static display. Spock

Aussiecowboy... Where'd you source yours from mate? And where's it headed too? Spock

Yes, it's the white one recently on Gumtree. Will post some pics the previous owner sent me when I get a chance. I'm not going to see it until my next R&R.

RHD converted, don't know how good a job and if I'll be changing it back yet. Hopefully the mining/exploration outfit did a good job... But we'll see.

Thanks! Frame is intact, but no canvas... Going to have to get the pattern for the carrier bows. Shipping US to Oz will only get them bent.

Been three import batches if I recall correctly. About 8 came in to NSW with two then being re-exported to NZ and PNG. Two I think came in to WA along with some tanks ex-middle East. One private import to Melbourne. I know where four are, have seen pics of another in rural NSW somewhere.

Finally found, and pulled the trigger on, an M561 in Oz. working on getting it trucked up from southern pastures for my next R&R... Anyone know now where I might acquire tractor canvas from, hopefully before the wet season... Spock

Found it... Lower Terminator... not Moab but still a little bit of a rock garden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fuq1wm91Xc8 Spock

Werner Meisterburg used to run around the desert areas in his... should be some vids around... i think i have one stashed somewhere of one wheeling with a couple of jeeps in rocky terrain as well.... To be honest, not sure i'd call them a rock crawler Spock

Don't have particular model recommendations, however I'd recommend aviation or off road racing sources, obviously they both also deal in intercom systems and radio feeds. Spock

Yep, that's the sorta beasty you want, make sure it's a match for your tube and also make sure the body thread matches your current tap point. They're a pretty common brand so you should be able to get some face to face help locally. Regards, Spock

Ok mate, I'll ask. Reckon you should be able to run it into a brake shop and they could whip you up a replacement, or if you're handy with the benders, retube it yourself and replace the fittings with Parker or Swagelock to suit.

Ok, know a guy in Tassie with two and some mechanical nouse. What exactly do you need to know about the ferrules an on which brake line? Spock
