You know what O&K stands for. (Oil leaks and Kracks) I claim artistic licence for spelling. I was called out to a Cat D6 once when the supervisor had decided to take it off coal and put it on a fly ash pond. On the job the other machines were wide track LGP machines. When I got there if you wanted to fuel it up you would have had to bend down. It was after midnight when it was back on solid ground. GMs always sound in a hurry except these class 66 locomotives. Dormans have a soft note, Cummins especially the big cam just bark. That RR K60 sounds like it should be in something that takes off. Those V16s Cats just sound as if they are enjoying the day. On one site the forman decided to clean out the slurry pond with the Cat D10 it was ok untill the slurry went over the bonnet ond down the air intake. That was expensive to fix after it had been retrieved. I always classed Dorman with Gardner and Meadows, Quietly getting on with the job. Getting Back to Austin K9s I have wondered for a long time If it was a K2 up axled in Ice Cold in Alex. Or a K9 in K2 clothes. As you know the likelehood of reversing a 4x2 up a sandy escarpment is a very long ods game.
