True in my ancient middle range farm induced deafness I'd forgotten the exclusive 2 stroke rattle.
I just remember stripping down a 671 in the Inter, in the paddock after it dropped it's guts, me trying to get a coupla 'undered ton in the silo. Rotten thing!
The Diamond T's & Reo's were good old beasties. Simple trucks for simple days. (Found another beauty up here, note to self, must get a pickie for Whoosha).

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.
