Another harvest injury is this bumper got pretty bent out of shape. Needs taken off and straightened but I can't decide what color to paint it back too. Red? White? throw that tiny thing out and get a big chrome one? (I wish) I know a lot of guys would just tuck something like this in the shed and only bring it out to shows but even the antique things have to earn their keep every once in awhile

Well that's a bummer thing to wake up to: Very glad this didn't happen during harvest and thankfully it wasn't a blowout but what sucks is this steer tire is only a couple years old. I have no idea what style of rim this is with a lock ring like that (is it tubeless?), but it looks like they either had a hard time getting it off or back on from all the marks (probably is what caused the damage to the sidewall In the first place) The tire shop is only a few blocks away so I'll see what they say in the morning (hope they see the big L on the stud and not cause anymore damage) You old guys can laugh at me all you want but these old school locking rings and inner tubes are like alien technology to me!

I remember reading about your Lanova, good to see its back on its feet! I'm sure thats good motivation! The ball should at least be rolling downhill now

Good job Vlad, was wondering how this was ticking along You've certainly got it going on now Paul

So a local dealer just had one come up for sale, it’s a 2015, it has 480k on it (I know, on the high side) what they are asking for it is pretty reasonable, and being an auto is a plus, any thoughts? Part of me is saying pass just based on the miles but it checks all the boxes.

I almost forgot about this project. Nice detail work and congratulations on setting engine in the frame!!

🤣

Vlad,that`s some beautiful work,so far.

Many thanks for that info.18,000lb would seem to fit the build of this Cruiseliner.Would Meritor have made this axle or just supply after market parts? Paul

You know, I couldn’t agree more I don’t think I’ve got anything done except for yardwork past four or five days…. Bob

Put Lanova engine into the NR chassis of Friday. The chassis was completed 12 years ago and the engine first started 8 years ago. The 2nd story was untold due to shortage of time. Now the things look more promising than before but still damn amount of tinkering ahead.

They were of multiple styles. Here's one of them.

She has been showcased and some videos I didn’t recognize her and that photo. I didn’t think it was the same girl there is a video I saw of her driving an R model. And I was thinking to myself it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a girl drive any Mack in my life, but I did see another lady drive out of the show with the B model dump truck. She wasn’t that young. And again that was the first time I’ve ever seen a girl drive a B model.

Ok, cheers on me

I'm seeing 18k # weight capacity from a parts catalog/pdf (PB-8951).
