    Tom (Bub) Warren of Amarillo Texas had purchased Diamond T rubber and was producing items for other makes as well. BUT I have not heard anything about him since his Father Tom Warren (EX ATHS President) passed away early last year?????? I have his email address and the shop phone number, if it is still in business?? PM me if you want it..

    All of my school career was spent on Brockway buses with a few R model Internationals thrown in.

    Paul, Have a happy Aussie day!!!!! and thanks for the history lesson.. I would have said you folks were independent long before then?? Even pre WW 2???? I know Canada's day is July 1st, but I do NOT know what year???? I was on a pleasure boat in the St. Lawrence river in 1967 when Queen Elizabeth came up the river in her personal yacht (a refurbished mine sweeper??) on her way to Ottawa to celebrate the occasion.

    That Group picture was taken at Brad Wike's Southern Classic show in Lincolnton / Maiden NC about the 3rd Saturday of September.. About 100+ trucks. Several TV / movie trucks..

    As long as it is part of the topic about Macks, nobody will complain.. Otherwise you can put it down in the Odds and Ends area in the other makes topic area.

    And my shiny 290 with the android valve removed on the 335 pump, "with a touch of Dutch", would out run most 350's!!!! BUT you had to shift by the pyrometer NOT the Tach!!!

    I am with Tom, I have seen the bank in Mars Hill ME read -35*, with frost on the screw heads in the bunk!! But the coldest I was out in was top loading a fuel tanker, at frozen river level, in Odgensburg NY at -28* below and God only knows what the wind chill factor was!!!!

    In 70 when I worked for the predecessor of Matlack hauling petroleum nights, from Syracuse NY to the St Lawrence River Valley, with tag axle White coupe cab with a 220 and 10 speed, I had to chain up several times to get from the main road into the distributor and back out of his tank farm. Also learned to leave an S curve in the discharge hose so when I was still half loaded I could move the drives out of the ice pockets made by the warm tires!!!!

    Before you dig deeper, take all the wires off (including the 90* brass strap to the starter housing) and CLEAN all the surfaces with a file or emery cloth to make sure you are getting good contacts.. I have seen many times where 1/16th turn on a nut cures the no start problem..

    When I lived in Penna I was the same.. That Franklin stove heated the whole house..

    Mech, Those big dump bodys are for soft coal, which is fairly light, not to mention those "West By God" coal truckers never knew what weight regulations were!!!

    IT is one of those "6 of one and a half dozen of the other" Questions.. Even as a hobby truck I think I would try to locate a reasonable priced cut off with air ride and graft it on....

    Paul, when I met Tony in 2015 he see like a very open man.. His collection gallery building is further back from the road behind the old CAT shop.. Only two ways to find out is to call ahead or just walk up to the parts counter and ask!!!!
  21. Brocky
    Was that video taken in Tony Champions showroom????????
  22. Brocky
    Paul can probably elaborate on me, BUT the Australian "Out Back", where the flying doctors operate has a lot of ROOM!!!!!! The Flying Doctors operate in rural areas and small town where there is not that much vehicular traffic. And the people on the roads have been educated to expect such happenings. I am assuming the picture Paul posted may be a news shot in relation to an accident on the highway???
  23. Brocky
    Terry is Correct!!!!!! Especially the R models.. I am not sure about B models???
  24. Brocky
    Look around at Tractor Supply or Northern HYd,, They seem to carry an assortment of lawn mower replacement tires????

    I know the videos my son in law take of his plane, the propeller looks warped as it turns.
