Got stuck again a few times, but good Deutz company, so just a test, tires not aired down so not really trying
Trailer is not really helping

And got this Honda XL500R from Germany, 20 years in a barn, needed new piston, timing chain and valves and some stuff:
Now it runs and starts so coming weeks an appointment for a dutch licence plate.
Tires are 20 years old but drive fine.

And the HJ needed some welding at the front left side chassis mount, used air needle tool to smash the crap out and see what was left:
Remove battery and got the bolt out with some large tools.
Not the nicest weld
not at all

But it passed the road test so good again until 2028 
And the Subaru blew a headgasket, got it opened up but that car was so abused it was not worth it to me, so we got an Toyota Mirai.
Very happy with this technology and hydro is 12 euro a kilo here and nearby in Germany in Lingen they are building the largest plant in the world and EU wants to go to 8 euro per kilo (hi Toyota Hilux Hydro with Mirai components)
In Dutch about Hilux: Waterstof-elektrische Hilux in ontwikkeling | Toyota.nl - https://www.toyota.nl/ontdek-toyota/nieuws/ontwikkeling-waterstof-elektrisch-prototype-hilux-gestart
Used the winch a lot to get trees out of the forest, got a license to buy as much as I want because the ecological rules state that it needs to be cut by locals, so now so much wood in storage I might start selling it, good exercise.
Now the Netherlands has enough natural gas for the next 80 years, but since 50 years ago it was considered a waste product and sold to Germany, Belgium and Italy for the transport price.
Then the government closed the wells with concrete (some minor earthquakes) and all incentives are going to solar and wind (no decision for nuclear)
So now the Netherlands has the most solar in Europe, but it is the worst country to have solar (solar hours are lowest)
Now electricity and natural gas is so expensive that the wood we burn for fun is saving a lot of money, and people are removing solar because they have to pay to deliver solar to the grid.
Okay if you have read this you now are as politically raged as me,

I can't belive you use your truck to tow! That's a big trailer too. Probably not to heavy, but still. Great use for the ol gal!
Lekker bezig hoor! Keep it up

Yes I drive with the trailer @mongoose2231
Today 1000 kilometer to get a BJ40 4 speed, 1979 with 2977cc = B diesel.
parted out so a lot to do, had road check 2 years ago.
BJ stands for Bondo Job
No need to check with a magnet.
But chassis is perfect, no rust, nothing welded.
engine and gear should be fine.
Now slap it together to start, get numberplate, get road check.
Maybe some welding first, but I hate this demolished "build" state.
came with a Haynes manual and many new parts.
Last night the Easter bonfire was lit (vandalism), so delivered some tree stuff for the new fire this night.
Had to unload all crap, pushed the BJ off the ramp, jumped in, hit the brake so did not smash in the camper.
And now it is where it is, I can not push it in grass.

I have to really start using my 60 in the same fashion. That 60 of yours earns its keep.
