The chassis of this logging truck is being built for Arthur McCarthy of Raetihi by John Betty Engineering in their Raetihi workshop. The work has involved adapting an existing axle and wheel assembly to a smaller chassis and sub-frame in order to lighten the all-up load by about 2 tonnes per trip as a fuel economy measure. The project has taken about two months to complete and has been one of the major contracts undertaken by the recently established engineering workshop on Raetihi's Station Road industrial site. Fourteen-year old Kirk Betty helped his father during the school holidays.
