rbrtcrowther Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Nothing really...Its just got no lineing left on it. I was going to get it done when i looked at the rear brakes an hub seals but the brakes were like new so i never sent them off. Now it just keeps slipping down the list of things to do. You want to have a go at gear shifting on the jake brake instead of the clutch brake, It souds great..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrtcrowther Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 How's the compressor on the cummins? Does it keep up with the steering ok when your shunting round? It looked a tad smaller than the huge motor bike engine bolted to the meadows> Oh and what happened to the drivers windscreen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
