Spotted today in Naseby, a very complete Hino Contessa 1300.
Never seen one before, guessing this one is mid-late 60's? Last registered in 1991 going by the blue sticker on windscreen. Believe they assembled them in NZ for a time... [google tells me so bro]

Theres one of theses in Dannevirke she's a bit past it though 

Have to upload some more pics 

Thanks and nah it came from up KatiKati 

one cool thing is it has some cool cheviot hot-wires I cleaned up now they look amazing lol

every bush in it needed to be replaced and all the shocks needed to be replaced 

Hi everyone I have a MK4 spitfire I'm working on i got to off trade me the listing said it needed a little rust work that was a massive understatement 

Im after parts if anyone on here know of any it would be greatly appreciated

Hi everyone

On the 25th and 26th of march is the Takapau Vintage Machinery Show held on the Takapau planes its a great show there will be all sorts of vintage things

I though I would post a few pics of the progress of my 1964 powered wheel barrow. I picked it up off a farm where it had been since the late 70s and decided it needed to be restored when I got it the engine was seized up really tight but I freed it up and put new rings in it now iv stripped it down and I'm painting all the parts for it.

Here is a pic of it after I got it.

Spotted these just out of town there is a Vauxhall Viva a Fiat 128 and a madza 

Here is a video of my 1940 Allis Chalmers running after about 20 years of sitting idle. I have a few problems I need to fix with it (Eg leaking water pump and a few oil leaks) before I got all out and paint it.

Cheers Rob

I have 2 of these a single like that and a twin that I'm currently restoring

I think this is cool

When's the IH powered Go Kart going to be finished??

Haha not plans for that yet I still have to build my Velo bike

Hi Everyone

I though I would post a video of my International Harvester 3HP type M engine, I got this engine running for the first time after a full strip down and rebuild. The engine has not run for many many years before I got it.

Cheers Rob

oh man that's lush!!

Love this stuff. Me and my bro obtained a Bamford petrol engine (I can't recall the model off hand right now) that hadn't run for a few years. flush of the carb and new fuel and it started up within a few spins on the crank handle. Sold it at the start of this year, though, as we didn't really have a lot of space for it. It came with our tractor as part of the deal so whatever I guess. Would love a CS twin cylinder engine at some point, even if it's just to fire up and drink a flagon of beer whilst it chuffs away in the shed. pipe dream. lol

 

I imagine you're in a club of some sort... do they have vintage tractors and stuff there? would love to bring my allis chalmers to a sweet club paddock day or something for a mess around.

Im not in a club I have been thinking about joining the Manawatu vintage machinery club but Iv never gotten around to it.

What model Allis have you got, I have an Allis B from 1940 it does not run the engine is buggered it needs a full rebuild in another month or so I will get my engine off the guy rebuilding it as he's not even started it yet.

Did you go to the Takapau show in march this year it was great I think the next one is in Carterton next year.

Have you got any pics of your Allis.

Rob

nice!

 

do you have any lister cs diesels in your collection?

Yes I do have a Lister CS in my collection I need to make a trolley and a cooling tank for it I might also be getting a twin cylinder one before the end of the year. I have a video of it running on You Tube My username is Enginemanic.

These are a cool engine Rob, especially the hit and miss part. Where did you find it? I don't think that many were brought into NZ.

 

Also have you got it running right since the video was taken?

I bought it off trade me from some guy in levin that saved it from scrap. I have got it running a lot better

This is the coventry engine.

Here is my Maytag model 92 washing machine engine, Its a spark interruption Hit n' Miss 2 stroke engine. It might be coming up for sale soon.

Here is a link to when I first got it running.
