FOUND THIS 10 TON AVELING & PORTER STEAM ROLLER ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO IN KRABI PROVINCE THAILAND. IT WAS STILL BEING USED AND WAS LOADED ON THIS HINO TRUCK READY TO GO TO THE NEXT JOB. THE CYLINDER BLOCK WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH A BIG YANMAR DIESEL ENGINE. THIS CONVERSION WAS DONE WELL AND ALLOWED THE FLYWHEEL TO TURN WITH THE ENGINE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, THE YANMAR EXHAUST IS PIPED UP THE CHIMNEY. IT WAS ALL IN GOOD WORKING ORDER, WELL OILED AND MAINTAINED. SADLY IT NO LONGER TURNS AND NOW STAND OUTSIDE A HOTEL IN AO NANG, PAINTED GREEN (THAI STYLE WITH A BROOM) AND OPEN TO ALL WEATHERS.
THE ROLLER IS STILL OWNED BY THE ROAD CONTRACTOR WHO ALSO OWNS THE HOTEL WHERE IT RESTS.
THE LAST 5 PICTURES ABOVE WERE TAKEN ON JANUARY 5th 2010.
