Little Single-Axle Mosman SL

Here's an old, re-painted MacDonald Johnston servicing the garbage bins in Mosman. I shot these clips the first time I was there late last year, and since then it has been taken out of Mosman. Hard to find these single-axle side loaders now, pretty cool to see them when I do! Hope you enjoy the footage, please rate and comment.

I love watching this video. Makes me want to drive one more and more since now i have my MR. Do you know if mje still manufacture single axle SL if ordered? I wonder if SMS will go with that instead of the single axle raptors when the contract is renewed

Yeh mate they still make these single axle bodies, 14m and 18m in size. Very interested to see which trucks end up in Willoughby for the next contract... guess all we can do is wait for now.

I remember one time I was exploring streets in Sydney on google st. view and I found a truck like this (single axle + no signage). Come to think of it, these single axle ASLs are actually pretty rare here as well, glad you were able to get one on film the first time you went! Interesting idle sound to this truck, kinda neat though :) Lots of different places this truck was at, always cool seeing the different stops! Sure glad you dedicated 8.5 min to this beauty!! 5/5 and fav!

Wouldn't be surprised if it was this truck then, I think they only have one of these single axles now. Does have a unique sound compared to what I'm used to hearing, but it's an International model so that might be the reason. Thanks!

[tharealsteven]

the main reason why it sounds different to the usual ACCO's is cuz the International badged ACCO G series had the Cummins C240 engine

[MitchellM15]

Oh of course, tend to forget that not all Accos have the ISC! haha Shame there aren't as many other Cummins engines around, I think it's the 250 one that I particularly like =]

[Accoraptor]

Isn't he is the same driver that Superiorpakfan filmed with that old hornsby truck in that other video?, I think this acco is spare.

[Accoraptor]

He really loves the International Acco better than the Volvo FL6. The FL6s are crap and should get demolished to hell.

[Superiorpakfan]

Lane cove area are having the single axles back out again but for housing not units of course! :) there the only MJ SL i like cause dual axle MJS SL are too styled!

[Sean Young]

so many people in mosman put their bins out backwards.

[Trashman242]

haha didn't even notice it was Int'l. :D
