End of life, mine cruisers

Just sending a few photos of cruisers that have seen the end of their economical life, and what you buy when you get a low kilometre engine.

The vehicles will have done between 60000 to 90000k at a max of 30k per hour, engine hours around 4000 or less.

When the vehicles reach around 25000k the engines start to slowly deteriorate in horsepower although this doesn't seem to effect them, they don't use much oil, if any and are serviced weekly. Washed once or twice in 24 hours rust is a huge problem, due to the minerals and ground water.

Some will have new transfer cases, gearboxes or diffs but they will all be cut up for mine rescue training and dumped.

In the time this batch has been in service (around 30 of them) only one engine has been destroyed and that was the operators fault. He put the fan through the radiator in water, but choose to just keep on driving.fi]/143450.75/Forum/Pic_41[/fi]Image Could Not Be FoundImage Could Not Be Found
