  1. Tom, Thanks for all the pictures of your Florida trip.. The picture of the ice handling equipment reminds me that if any of you are able to get to the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mtn Lake NY, they have a big display of the ice harvesting from frozen lakes to ice down the milk trains coming out of the St Lawrence River valley en route to NYC. They also have a Linn truck with log bunkers in the forestry section. You and the redhead need to come up to Cortland NY for the Brockway weekend and visit all the beautiful upstate.
  2. Paul There is a sugar mill along the A1 in the Mackay / Sarnia QLD area which has a mini mill in front of it, open to the public, which shows the whole operation, plus some antique harvesting equipment in the yard. There are some pictures of it here: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/84264/Down-Under-Trip?PageIndex=7 scroll down towards the bottom of the page
  3. The man who bought my Brockways has a similar Pitts trailer.. PM/Email and I can send you his contact info to talk to him.
  4. Yes, He drives that green R model dump truck all over!! Participated in the ATHS Route 66 convoy several years ago and also been to a couple of the ATHS west coast shows.. I Had a good visit with him at a truck wash on RT I-78 before Macungie one day.
  5. I think Hippy is right on the scarifier..
  6. Happy New Year to all!! And some rain for our Aussie friends.
  7. The actual name(S) of the designer(s) of the Brockway Superliner are probably gone by now, BUT go over to the brockwaytrucks.com website and maybe someone can answer your question.
  8. Swish, Thanks for posting that video.. Some one spent a lot of time building that set up..
  9. MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the BMTpeople from sunny mid 50's South Carolina..
  10. Vlad, Very Interesting!!! Thank you for taking the time to look up, and take pictures, of this rare truck..
  11. I have thrown some iron pulling tankers North of Syracuse NY to the St Lawrence River Valley.. Mostly to get from the big road into the distributors yard and back out, especially at night.. Learned to put an "S" curve in the discharge hose so you could move the drives out of the ice pockets when you were only half unloaded!!! And not to spin a wheel with singles on the outside!!!
  12. I would say it is the only kerosene (??) powered tail light??
  13. Here is the same truck as it sat on tony's back lot in August of 2015
  14. I think the Red Headed corespondent from Florida my be keeping top priority on his time???
  15. Welcome Back!!!! I always look forward to the scenic routes your travel agent sends you on..
  16. J Mack, Try Bub Warren at Diamond T rubber, 806-374-3056, lilyellowbus37@gmail.com in Amarillo TX. He has been stocking a lot of stuff other than DT. If you have one good piece for a pattern, he can make anything.
  17. What a HOSS!!!!!! There are not many 8 tire per axle trailers here in the States??? Seems to be an Aussie thing..
  18. Daily Diesel had several on his website a while ago..
  19. Very Nice!!!! Something to defineatly hang on the wall..
  20. A combined ATHS Palmetto Upstate, ATCA Palmetto Classic Iron, and Show and Shine Trucks fundraiser for the Special Olympics handicapped children at the Mideastern Chrome Shop facility, 225 Bellinger Lane, Gaston SC, just off exit 125 of I-26 south of Columbia SC. Trucks, cars, BBQ lunch, 50/50 drawing, silent auction of donated chrome "goodies", music and kids activities. Contact Danny @ 803-737-3381 or I-26@mideasterntruckwash.com
  21. Did they still have the R model cab simulator??? Took a half hour to get the grandchildren out of it!!! I have heard that there is Andretti money behind this facility. Definitely a good half day tour.
  22. Vlad Quite an amazing show!!! Thank you for taking the time to post these pictures.. I would not have believed that there were that many Macks in Europe..
  23. Jim, Thanks again for all your great photography skills and taking the time to share the pictures with us.
  24. Are your "elite" women elected or appointed??? If elected I presume they have no chance of being reelected in a very expensive election???.. If appointed the same goes for the elected official who appointed them!!
  25. Thank You.. He is now worldwide famous.. If you do a You Tube search for Slim Dusty's about 80 trucking songs there are several with video and/or stills of many Australian trucks. One that comes to mind is "I am married to my Mack"
