| The house the F60L built |
|
|
|
| In 2002, shortly after the Year of the Blitz rally in Corowa, I sold my
beloved F60L to Matt Boyle who has made it his main
work tool in his building business. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
| This is the house the blitz built. Matt Boyle has modified the F60L, adding
a hydraulic crane driven from the power take-off. It not only carried most
of the materials to the site but also stood all the poles up and lifted
timber and iron onto the roof. |
Matt loves the blitz and it has enabled him to make lots of friends in
the Castlemaine area. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
| The reach of the crane is impressive, some 12 meters. Matt has converted
the truck to 12 volt operation as well as fitting 12.00 20 road tyres. He
finds third gear about right to run the pump. |

| Some have likened Matt to film character "Yahoo Serious". |
