Lift gearboxes have bronze wormwheels and run for decades on 460 / 680 steam cylinder oil. (which is never changed, only topped up!) Until recently I serviced one (for 22 years) which was installed in 1927. The wormwheel is still like new. Jarrod.

Please forgive me if this is a repost, or somehow off topic. It shows the many trials of crossing the USA with a convoy at that time. If only they had "talkies" then... Jarrod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZJKxkfF1D8

I'm thinking New Zealand. Check the number plates. (or am I mistaken?) Jarrod.

Jarrod here, from sunny Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. I discovered this forum by a link to a WW1 vehicle rebuild here on the Australian HCVC forum; one of the Goslings' trucks. I wish to keep up with the restorations as detailed on the HMVF, while mostly keeping quiet, post-wise. Personally, I have restored a c.1957 International ASW120 4x4 pickup / ute, ( US model is S120 4x4) although I'm unsure if the military used any. This is on full registration and regularly driven, along with a 1951 Studebaker Champion sedan, which doubles as the family's second car. Militarily, I'm most interested in WW2 Studebakers, Internationals and the recreation from scant parts of WW1 trucks. Thanks for letting me in, Jarrod.
