Title: G'day Everyone from Victoria Australia
Post by: GreyFergy101 on November 04, 2014, 06:36:30 AM
Hello all,

Quick Introduction, my name is Josh, bit of a grease monkey. I currently own a few tractors and stationary engines. I also have being heavily involved and still am in a close family members restorations of engines, a CJ3B Jeep, tractors etc. Soon as my last two tractor projects are out of the way in the next 2 months I am considering purchasing a Dodge T110 truck to restore in military configuration,as well as completing the conversion to make the CJ3B into a M606 army jeep. Additionally earlier next year I am hoping to purchase a Cletrac HG42 to restore to the Papua New Guinea specs and additionally a Case SI or Fordson N RAF would be nice.. Yes I am rather ambitious...  ::) 8) I look forward to becoming involved in this forum. Cheers!

P.S: I am on the lookout currently for any information or photos on military HG Cletracs, bit of a hard task to find much information on, cheers!

Kind regards,
Josh M.

Welcome Josh! I used to have a CJ-3B back when I was in high school and college. I put a lot of miles on that little Jeep! Loved it.

G'day, Grey Fergy, I spent about 4 months in Victoria in 1997-98-- a very lovely place, I might say. I spent about a month in Edenhope and three + months in Cobram / Katamatite, as well as visiting Melbourne, Pyramid Hill, Ballarat, Sidney, Mt. Gambier, and Cairns, among other places. I saw a lot of neat stuff there. Older tractors I drove while in Oz included a Fordson Power Major, a Chamberlain Champion 9G, and a Chamberlain Countryman 354. Along with (you'll know what I mean when I say) some more modern junk. I'd love to go back some time!
