Injectors?

I curious about the resistors.  Their exact job is to reduce voltage.

Polarizing was important. I think there are instructions out there.

This is what I had.. bob

Got one too. Still some of those around. 

You know, Barry, lots of the better kits I remember did have options in the box.  Not that difficult to set up a frame for single or dual axles, or even to leave the frame long to allow end user customization.  Multiple driveshafts (or cut-to-length pieces), extra crossmembers...not a big deal.

Lots of the kits I built had both spoke and disc wheels in the kits.  Again, builder's choice.

This thing looks like it would be geared more toward the serious builder/collector than the casual builder.  So, I personally think the quality and flexibility of the kit might be more important than the selling price.  But, that's just one Weasel's opinion.

The girl is pretty, but she can't cook.

Or, is it she can cook, but ain't pretty.

One way or the other...

I built several of the R685 kits over the years.  On the later ones, the quality had deteriorated somewhat and the parting lines had grown substantially.  I always wished they had done a kit of the older R models with the steel dash.  Some of AITM's had the old dash.

Never enough time or options!

Yep.  Happy Birthday, 'Duck!

There were 124 B13's made.  Odd number should have been a diesel.  Can't find any information on what engines came in those.

Also 131 B23's made.  Again, odd numbers should be diesel powered.  Same problem.  Can't find a lot of info on those either.

Considering the clutch lever mentioned, this could easily have been a truck engine, later converted to power a generator or a sawmill.

Speaking of sawmills, I had a cousin who ran his sawmill off a 50's model END-673 out of a wrecked B model.  Still had the 9-speed overdrive Duplex behind it.  Even still used the parking brake on the output of the trans.  Plenty of power and plenty of speed options!  Overkill, you think?

Man!  How long I wanted to hear that!  I ended up buying a bunch of First Gear Diecast 1/25 scale B-models because no kit was available.

I don't build many models anymore (no time, old hands, old eyes, etc.).  But I would probably grab a couple (or more) for the "just in case" situation.

A B20 with a small diesel.  Now that could be.

Still like to know more about this.

This is actually a 50 ton model. 
These guys have some really cool equipment.

Dale Gribble, regarding the chemicals used to control Hank Hill's ant problem in his lawn.

Could it have been the pump motor off of Dale Gribble's insecticide sprayer?

I was thinking generator or some other stationary application.  Like Geoff said, not enough power for much of any kind of truck.

This one definitely has me puzzled!

I'm more curious what Mack put it in?

Exactly!  

Now, if we can just figure out how Mack ended up with this thing!

It sure looks like the White/Hercules that FJDRILL mentioned.  But I can't find anything about when/where Mack used those engines.  Sure would like to know more about that.

When did Mack use those, or in what trucks?
