Look what Rodney found in cobar

[jennie285]

I don't know (rodney) I thought that strange....but leave that to you people to tell me coz holden do a lot of strange things.....although I don't know much about monaros, but if it were original, is the engine, and diff a standard thing which is not specified on the plate?

[wbute]

HQ had no codes if they were a standard option. So what ever was standard diff will not be on it. The engine must be a bigger donk than standard so it is listed afaik.
Sorry that should be gearbox code.

thank you WBute

rodney was in Cobar, because he went on a Ferguson drive, from Cobar to Louth, spent a day at the Louth field days, and then back to Cobar. He had a great weekend, and now wants to buy a Fergie tractor/ford, with a side valve V8 option which is very rare in Australia, was mostly available in USA, becuase Henry Ford, did a deal with harry Ferguson, in early last century..




Notice he has to overtake even when he is in a b...y tractor lol.....

Dont put to much faith in my id skills, I am probably wrong. All I know for sure is it is a 4 door monaro id plate.


Fergie tractors........... he should be driving a 9G Chamberlain!
The side valve V8 one sounds like fun though.

The fergie is his father's tractor, Rodney considers he owns an LA case with a perkins motor because he drove it so much when he was a young fellow, his father always said it was his tractor so he is claiming it....lol.....so in two years time, he will take it on the Fergie drive....

Sorry about this Blocker!

How long did it take to travel that distance in a tractor?

[jennie285]

Agro 30km/hour about 4 hours, and they went 105 up and same back......but you start with breakfast, do a stint, then morning tea, then lunch, then arvo tea, then arrive for happy hour and tea......
