I operated this one back in the late 60s. We only usedit for a scraper pusher. Pushing scrapers with the one I ran was a pain in the butt. It didn't have a pedal for deceleration so you had to use the throttles the slow down when you started to push. It had a small push blade so all you did all day was push scrapers. I also operated a single engine and it had a cable blade that had an oil leak on the winch brake pads. The guy I was working for didn't want to fix it so I would stop and though sand into the winch to get the pad to hold up the blade for about 10 passes. I wasn't worried about what would happen to the winch. If the if the boss didn't worry about the problem neither was I.

I've attended a lot of HCEA shows including the Nat'l Pike steam show and it's nice to see something different rather than the run-of-mill Cats. There's no better sounding diesel engine than the 6-71 Detroit and in this case, a pair of them side-by-side.

Hi, Daren Browne. How much do you remember of that machine? Did it by some chance have the name, "Christie", on it anywhere - or the remains of what might have been that name? There were 6 of them brought new into Australia. I know where five of those are currently. The 'missing' one would be the one which originally belonged to a company in Sydney with the name, "Christie Constructions", or something similar, long since swallowed up by Mayne Nickless. This machine worked on the Sydney-Newcastle expressway for some time. I believe it then moved North but have only been able to find one mention of anywhere since, in the Southern Suburbs of Brisbane. Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you in anticipation. Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Doing that amount of work, how often did the engines need to be overhauled? I'm guessing every few hundred hours.

Try nearly 25000 engine hours (providing the air filters get maintained) on a 71 series 20 000 is a cake walk for them
