Is there pictures of that somewhere? I live close to the Sudbury mines.

Bullheaded: Watch the Mahan Collection video that Hippy just posted.. There are a couple of pictures of the INCO Mack in it.. It has a yellow tank, where I thought it was wood colored..

Hippy:

Thank you much for posting this video.. I did not know how LARGE his collection was or that so much of it was outside... I understand the Mahan Foundation now has control of the Bickford Collection in Yarmouth Maine.. I hope someone makes a similar video of it..

I think(??) Schneider had some in their Transtars????

That is similar to the "Big Bud" tractor up in Montana(???) that I have seen videos of..

Do you Have the Showtime Book from the ATHS show in York PA in about 2016-7??? That is the last time I can remember that Gary Mahan had it at a show. I have never Googled the Mahan collection to see what pictures he has on there??  It is a 1942(???) wartime black L model cab with a large wood colored barrel on it, about 10 foot wide with a Cummins Engine

I would, but I heard you don't use sealer in aluminum tanks, maybe it doesn't adhere to the aluminum or something, I don't know. I had 2 quarts of sealer but I already sent it on its way. So I think, from what I'm reading here, if I stick to non-ethanol and use gas treatment I should be ok.

I think you are RIGHT on Non-Ethanol ONLY!!!!!

another positive when we lived in TN (one of many); there were gas stations which still sold real gas. 

Around here most of the new QT's, and some of the small local store chains, have non ethanol all the time.

Tom, I always add the Stay-Bil to the cans before I fill them.. That way it is mixed in good!! And then fill the DT from the cans..

Mech, that center one might be an air start???? Also in the 70's - 80's oil shortage and big price jumps a lot of carriers carried more fuel so the could turn a further distance on home terminal fuel..

For the amount you will drive it, you can run off one side only.. 

I know it is more expensive, BUT use ONLY non-ethanol gas!!!!!!!!! It will save you a lot of problems down the line... Just ask my Diamond T how I know!!!!!!!!!!

On Big Moose lake in the Adirondack mountains of NYS, they used to place a weighted 55 gal drum out on the ice and the 2 bars that had picture windows facing the lake always had a lottery / pool as to when the drum went down!! Even  to the hour!!!

The one on the left is probably the engine oil filter; if the lines go to the left side of the engine block then that's what it is. It's a Luberfiner 500c, filter is a Wix 51554 and the lid seal is a 15414. If you change it, crack open the plug on the lid a couple of turns after you first start the engine and close it when oil starts to seep out to bleed out the air. I can't help you on the other two.

Is that big one a power steering reservoir???

Personally I believe that this "Climate change" of getting warmer is all a natural occurrence.. If you look at history in the US, The winters have been getting progressively milder.. Washington had Ice in the Delaware River when he  crossed it in the Revolutionary war..  I am not saying the modern industrial era has NOT helped it!!!

Is the planet still coming out of the ICE AGE?????  Remember that much of it was Tropical when the Dinosaurs roamed the land!!! How else do we have OIL in Alaska???

In the past 2-3 years we have had several 2-4 rated quakes within a 50 mile radius of Columbia SC.

I have driven all three types of 2 speed shift.. The air was on some old Brockways and worked excellent.. The only vacuum shift was on an old GMC, with the flipper valve under the dash, it seemed you had to let completely off the gas to create vacuum enough for it to sorta force the shift.. Never had any problems with the electric ones??

That much weight on a tag-along trailer behind a 3/4 ton pick up????"? Better him than me!!!!!!!!

OK!! What was it????????????

Do some checking.. I have heard that in 5th AND you run the 2 speed rear on the low side it tears things up?????  4th over to 5th over and back..

Are you bringing it to York and Macungie???  I plan on both..
