Have a look at this one. That winch setup wouldn't pass roadworthy.

No worries Kung Fu Panda’s on winch duty?

Seriously you’d think the rear axle would be a little light empty downhill standing on the brakes?

I disagree. They're only interested in bonnet tools and bull bar protrusions. This solves both.

The odd thing is that it is a Thomas/Winch Industries winch, although it looks to be around 10,000lb. Why he didn't remove the centre section of the bar and fit it around the right way like any other Perentie winch? It even has the shaft for the PTO drive.

It's a Thomas electric and 8,000lbs introduced in the 1970's.  The electric motors aren't series wound so run at a constant speed, they are also quite slow.

the worm drive and clutch are the same parts as the PTO variant but the drum is shorter to allow space for the assembly to fit between the dumb irons of the FJ4* series Land Cruisers and series Land Rovers. 

On the depicted vehicle it has to be mounted forward of the bar because of the modified design of the Perentie dumb irons.  While you can see the shaft protruding, that is there for the hand crank mode.

Diesel, V8, sports seats, RHD, fat tyres. Not saying I wouldn't like it, but how does that meet Historic Conditional rego?  No hope of being eligible in the NSW scheme.

Well actually this is more related to the members actual club rules, the RTA, Bush Council and Golden Oldies truck Club had a memorandum of understanding on the issue.  The RTA rules became "commercial vehicle engine replacements which were acceptable to authorities at the time can be retained in the restoration" this MOU allowed the Land Rover Owners Club Sydney Branch to accept grey and red Holden engines for Land Rovers on HCRS as there was a type approval from the RTA for Holden engines in Land Rovers.  Yet in the Sydney Ford GT club they wont allow standard engine differences factory fitted in a different model year to the car.

There is now a second scheme in NSW for modified vehicles which meet the 30 year rule, its called the "Classic Vehicle Scheme" and is at a similar cost but requires blue slips and/or engineer certification of the modifications.

Not an issue in Vic.
SA have recently relaxed their rules.

This vehicle is known to me. It is fairly basic but, geez, I'd love to own it.

I wish it was over the eastern side. Can't have to many of the little cuties.

I am not convinced the ARN he has written on the bumper is correct though.

116-694 is listed as an AB160 2 1/2 ton dump W/Winch with an ABD264 engine. Sounds like it could be a correct Teaspoon Tipper ARN to me.

Do the Army ID plates for the Tippers list the ARN? Perhaps that is where the seller got it from.

Anyone looking for a 6x6 Inter?
At Charters Towers so shouldn't be too much rust in it

Didn't the teaspoon tipper have under and over headlights. This one has singles.
Is it a tipper or something else?

Just heard of an International 6x6 tipper for sale for $10k in Myrtleford Victoria.
Saw it on the International facebook page.
