No, but that route was on my map. Nor did I make it a show truck.
It ran, drove and stopped, and the body is in good shape, so I just left it as if for now.

it seems like a lot of careful thought went into the placement of that vent pipe.

From The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Nautilus.
The Nautilus Car was designed by Carol Spier and of course entirely custom made for the production. The basic starting point, the chassis, is from a Land Rover Fire Tender. A unique fiberglass body was then added and a steel sub frame then constructed in the engine bay to house the Rover V8 engine required to power it. 6 enormous wheels, measuring 28 inches (72 cm) in diameter complete the basic car. The whole car also raises and lowers itself in spectacular style via a powerful hydraulic system.
Link to page with several more pics and more info on the vehicle.

Spending a lot of time in this turning the compost windows. Such an odd machine to drive, it feels really tippy until the drum is spinning.

i have several reclaimers for soil stabilization and grinding up old streets. Similar concept machine with a spinning drum with carbide tipped teeth. That application, turning windrows, doesn't seem to put much strain on the drum and there might not be a lot of maintenance. But on mine, when you are grinding up asphalt streets or mixing 10 inches or more of clay soil, its a hell of a load on the drum and those machines are extremely high maintance. One breakdown that is drum related can easily cost over $20,000. Not to mention the downtime while repairs are made. You almost always have to have a backup machine ready just for when the other one is down for repairs. And its not uncommon to have two in the shop at the same time.

The number of dealers of the damn things keeps the price for repair high. I had one come out for a basic once over and a quick training when I first got hired in and it was 5 grand.

99% of my maintance costs of big diesel equipment are fuel exhaust related. And most of those require a technician to just reset the computer. A call for that will easily cost $5,000 every time. with no parts involved. These new Diesel exhaust bullshit systems are going to be the end of using diesel engines.Blast wrote: ↑Wed Nov 19, 2025 3:00 amThe number of dealers of the damn things keeps the price for repair high.

Think i've had the def manifold replace 3 tones in 5 years in my 930 and countless computer resets. Of course they won't sell me the computer access or the connector.Animal wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 5:33 pm99% of my maintance costs of big diesel equipment are fuel exhaust related.
