I think he actually got stuck trying to find 3rd gear.

naw he had it in park and thought he was in drive.

mike i sent you my number.

Here's the G73 with it's new look. I haven't decided if the 24.5's are gonna stay or not,just what I had mounted and handy for now.It has 24.5 spokes on the rear already,so these would be a match,but I also have a set of NOS 10:00x22 tires and a nice set of polished 22" Alcoas I been saving for something, and I also have some old 5 hole 22.5 Alcoas. Gotta worry about that when I get it home. It developed a major oil leak on the trip to my buddy's shop,so he's gonna get it traced down and fixed and do a little other tinkering on it while it's there,hopefully be ready for ATHS convention in Springfield ,MO next month.

ol' truck looks good mike.

Looking good,I remember this truck back in the "80's working daily as a dump in Western MA.Sure has come a long way!

There was snow in the White and Green Mts. last night; saw pictures of Mount Mansfield, VT and Bretton Woods, NH covered in snow. Littleton, NH received about 4 inches.

Drove through Hinsdale, MA last Sunday; first time in my life although I have been to Hinsdale, NH several times.

if you blinked more than once you missed the town.

Here is some paving one of our crews did last summer on Mt. WashingtonPaving Mt.W 4.jpg

i bet it is all white up there this mornin' tim. only 36 degrees here @1240 above sea level. whole lot higher up there.

Vinny,

This one has the 450 with a twelve speed andd 44 rears. Mike, I think about that every time I'm up top setting the straps. My goal is to put on a roll off so I can a manure tank on it too.

I love this truck!

i bet the sound of that has sugar shack written all over it tim.

I guess I might have to sell my Superliner and my pickup truck just to cover the difference in my income after this tax hike were looking at,Im single no kids and have made $75000 as of11/23 and paid in $20500 in taxes, if the numbers are right my taxes will go up $3000 a year I dont think I cant keep paying this crap I would be better off to quit my job and get on the govt check at the end of the year. I dont know if everybody else has been watching this and done the math but it four in what they call the upper middle class you will end up paying about 1/3 of your income in taxes, its freaking ridiculous.

i'll bet you superliner there ain't no four-flushing politician worrying about paying his though!

don't forget your buddy in Iowa,Jim.

you're on the christmas list too mike.

I know Ive said this a few times, but I could make money with this! Would be a dream! With that wet line you could do anything. Hope she dont end up in Nigeria.

vinny when my powerball numbers come in tomorrow night i will buy that for you for a christmas present.

What was that there? I dont see any problems, maybe you should take a look again.

i did...........lol.

I dont even think shed start.

she'd start.... or maybe up in the north country your sheds run?

Hey Guys,

It has been a while since I posted last because I haven't had a chance to do much. I just wansted to thank you for your suggestions.

I think in the spring I am going to pull the motor and completely go through it. It has never been overhauled so it's probably a good idea anyways.

Thanks

Dave

dave this might sound stupid but it happened to me once on a 260 brockway. the mice had gotten into the bell housing and had built so much of a nest it would only let that continental gasser turn about a quarter of a turn. after i had pulled the heads i found the nest and thats all that was stopping the motor from spinning. like i said there was so much stuff wadded up in there it got bound up between the flywheel and starter. might be worth a quick look.

Snow is here! Even the plow truck came by. Sometimes, we have a big Mack RM plow come by, but this time it was just an International.

thats a good place for it vinny.....right up your way. used to run up to the kraft plants at lowville and north lawerence. beautiful places as long as it wasn't snowing.

I hope the owner knows what hes talking about to........he said they use it often for parades and fundraisers.....but making the trip does concern me a bit.....on the other hand you only go around once !

make sure your pump transmission has gear oil in it before driving it home. there should be a dipstick on the pump trans. to check it. if i remember right it is on the right side of the pump trans. hate to see you burn that up. to check for vacuum leaks when priming you can also take the steamer cap of off the pump put a little grease around the pump snout turn the steamer cap around backwards and pull the primer valve handle (with pump trans. in prime) if no leaks the vacuum should hold the steamer tight to the pump for a short time. just dont let it crash to the running board after the vacuum goes away.

ol' truck lookin good mike. the wheels make all the difference in the world. headliner too. has mikey laid claim to it yet? keep up the good work.

i would like to add a little tid-bit, NOBAMA 2012!

just think mike while you were having all this fun in a strange town i was tossing and turning in the sleeper out in western pa. hoping everything was going smooth for you but in the end everything turned out fine. still would have liked to seen that ol' G barreling down the mass. pike. the truck couldn't have found a better "new home".

Stars on the grill? Maybe it's another one of Evil's?

Awesome Bryan, Got any Stamford Wrecking Superliners?

i drove for stamford 90/91 tim. was a great company to work for just to far to travel each day. 260 miles down and back. remember their superdog with the 500 very well. a guy named ellis drove. it

I plan on leaving Lake Ariel,Pa.Wednesday night. I have the Brockway Plow Truck loaded thanks to Tom Millard for helping me.Only thing I can say about it is its original. It is on a trailer but no trailer Queen. I hope I make it up there with no problems. Joe D.

do you live near howe's joe. i stop there about 3 times a week for fuel. i've been doing 3 a week from the s.w.pa /w. virginia state line back to mass. and go right by barry's place (WATTS MACK) on rte. 22 in alexandria. gotta time it just right next week so i can go by there when they're open so i can get a tee-shirt for the show. i'm sure next week i'll start to see a parade of old trucks heading east

Papa was just talking about busted nuckles and cut up hands today. He says I should wear gloves or I might get arthrites some day.
