  1. My daughter and S-I-L are in Cheshire Conn and said they were without power for 5 days
  2. BUT, I will bet the first few times took some conscious thought???
  3. Get in touch with Mike Harbison in Iowa.. He is a wealth of knowledge and has about 150 Macks, in various conditions, parked in his back yard.
  4. Thanks Swish!! I never got to drive anything while I was Down Under, even though I had the international driving licence paper. One of the Canadians in our group got to take one of Tony Champion's around the block.. A BIG grin from ear to ear!!!! I think the hardest part would be getting used to shifting with my left hand???
  5. Check in with Mike Harbison in Iowa.. He has, he knows of, a LOT of Mack parts.
  6. Carson, that size should fit on a HotShot dual tire tandem axle gooseneck flatbed behind a 3500 dually all right.. or a longer heavy duty tag along?
  7. I was at the same point of 70+ years old and no shop big enough to work on them.. Sold my DT 921 to a man in the Atlanta area who has it back roadworthy.. My two Brockways went to an avid Brockway restorer in North Carolina.. It took about 2 years to find a good home for them!!
  8. Yes it has. Appearantly the "Private Party" rules could not be met for the Cruise In to Greek Peak??
  9. Thanks much!! Now I see what they said about being visible from 321.. I know where the turf farm is..
  10. No I do Not.. Contact Steve Rosemond or Bruce Essicks.. Their contact info should be in ATHS WOT..
  11. In the middle 70's I worked at a Matlack facility to transfer bulk plastics from rail cars to pneumatic trailers and one of the transfer machines was powered by an inline 6 Ford diesel. Do not remember the size???
  12. For Corbitts and a Brown you must attend the ATHS Piedmont chapter (Greensboro NC) shows either at Spencer NC in the spring or the Colfax NC in the Fall.
  13. The new owner got it around some as the week before he had it at our show in Dacusville SC and at then end of the month he participated in the SC Special Olympics Convoy in Columbia SC
  14. I can remember in the fall of 1962 before starting Tech school I went to the big Sears store in Horseheads NY, about 35-40 miles from home, and getting everything I needed from tools to clothes.
  15. Weasel Thank you for the directions to Red Wolf Farm.. They are the best I have gotten for my newsletter.. Please send me an email to brocky45@prtcnet.com and I will get you on my ATHS Palmetto Upstate chapter newsletter mailing list.
  16. Larry, They were there!!! Rode around on my golf cart several times..
  17. Pete and Wayne are very Active in the ATHS Western NC Chapter and usually come down to our Dacusville SC show also.. Sadly this year it is a cancellation.
  18. The Duck is now based in the Rome GA area. That picture was taken at Brad Wike's show in Lincolnton / Maiden NC.. He is usually at the SC Special Olympics Convoy in Columbia SC the last Saturday of Sept. As of now both events are still on the calendar, not sure if they will stay there??
  19. Rowdy, Please find a family doctor, preferably one associated with the local hospital that you would be taken to from home.. When a hospital assigns you a family doctor it may not a person you like. Talk to your friends and neighbors as to who they like or dislike.. At age 44-5 the doc doing my DOT physical said to see my family doctor as my blood pressure top number was high. Was in the process of a divorce living in the KW and a Post Office box. Couple of years later "Borrowed" some blood pressure pills from a friend and passed again. A year Later I was flat on my back in the hospital with a STROKE!!!
  20. The Mack Quadrplex will hold up OK behind a 300 as log as you DO NOT LUG the engine. Keep your RPM's up..
  21. I think(???) That Hagerty also has a plan where ATHS membership gives you another discount??
  22. The true "Widow Maker" Split rims are the Firestone 5 degree rims that come apart in the middle of the cross width, Like the ones on my 55 Ford F-600.
  23. Check with Doug Fetterly up on the St Lawerence River of NYS. I know at one time he was making some replacement parts.. Not sure if they were what you need???
  24. What Jim said times two!!!!! I even forgot about Fathers Day by not being up there!!!
