other dog

They are like all other trans some models are for smaller torque and others for higher torque. The most common one was RTLO16710. Its good for most all 470 DD and larger cats.Go for 1650 ft/lbs

The IH's I drove both had N14 460 Cummins engines turned up to 500 hp. Don't remember the torque rating, but it was probably 1550.

well i think the bottom line is once a guy gets used to a straight fuller ten,,they are like walking backwards,,thier kind of fun,but have to pay attention at all times,,soon as start daydreaming,or talkin on the cb,automaticly start grinding gears

I always considered a 10 speed roadranger the easiest and simplest transmission out there. A driver that's too lazy to shift one oughta be doing something else anyway, just my opinion.

Kinda sounds like "we're gonna make this super 10 for drivers that are too lazy to shift a regular 10 speed-maybe they can find the energy to flip a button"

I see he posted up at 7:42 last evening updating Mark's comment, but did not join in any further discussions. Come to think of it, I hadn't seen my gorilla around the shop yesterday neither.

Quite shameless to swipe her while I'm at work.

Rob

It really is shameless. First he took the bear, the bear runnoft and left him and came back home, then the gorilla turns up missing. Very suspicious indeed.

Looks like you could dump 50 lbs. of chicken in it, a bag or 2 of flour, a box or 2 of duncan hines cake mix, some salt and pepper,and turn it on and bread your chicken so you can fry it up golden brown- just a thought...(Paul Van Scott)

Should work for fish too.

Note how I gave Paul credit for using his quote-that's the way to plagieurize (whatever) somebody!

I don't want to hear nothin more about no damned "C" model Mack cause I'll have to go get me one. Don't quite know how I'd saddle the pain that would cause however cause "Momma" just got daughter a new/old cast iron skillet and said she couldn't wait to "try it out".

This is another of those subjects that "can't be good".

Rob

Pretty sure it's still there.

i drove one in a pete,i didnt like it,but it had the electric gas pedal shut off,that only gave you like 1700 rpm,s so if you were on a slight grade,and shifting up from a traffic light,buy the time you let the gas off the truck would slow down too fast and wouldnt click into hi,,it was a pain in the ass,,would have been ok with a little more throttle,,,who the hell designs this rediculous stuff..bob

I totally agree, I hated them too. First gear wasn't low enough, and they shifted way too slow, you had to wait on it. I drove a couple of Internationals that had them. We found that when taking off like you're talking about if you moved the button, then took the stick out of gear and put it back in they shifted ok, but that's still a pain in the ass.

It's about the same as having a 5 speed and 2 speed axle.

Tom, you forgot the contrasting color coordinating and accessorizing diaper now sported by the gorilla. I got tired of cleaning up gorilla shit in the shop; just doesn't look professional.

Rob

coming soon!

Came across British Mack ads and am curious about no Dog but a Gorilla. Any one know why??

Some peoples just like apes in their logo too.

I like the Mack #400 Red paint job. Needs gangster walls all the way around, and spotlights.

Did he say what engine was in it?

mike

No Mike, he didn't say. I was gonna ask him if it had a 292 but I got distracted.

Thats pretty nice. I wish the 2 we got on the farm looked that nice, ours got a little cancer

Yeah, most do when they're that old, but the man said it was parked inside at the firehouse the whole time it was a firetruck.

The 1973 model year introduced the interspacial galactic time modulating denebulizer that operated through photosynthesis proximity at the atomic level. This system was foolproof in operation but the damn government banned it's sale as an available add on feature early in the production run.

Had this option continued to be readily available, phototachometers, sattelite tracking devices, scalehouses, DOT, and other impairments to the lowly trucker's life, would have been eliminated due to the matter/antimatter properties of this device. In laymans terms: the loaded truck drives into a denebulizing facility, is then placed in the antimatter state and transported to the end user of the commodity where the process is reversed, and matter restored to it's previous state. The now empty truck is then driven back to the point of origin for reloading.

Quick, easy, and completely green. I can only image what this option on a truck would be worth nowadays.

I saw this nice looking Chevrolet dump truck in Elyria this morning. The construction co. where I unloaded the pipes owned it.

The owner said he used to have a green 761 Brockway too that he sold, but he said he wished he still had it.

This was a former fire department truck, only 29,000 actual miles. He said they removed the tank it used to carry, shortened it and put the dump body on it and painted it, but they did no bodywork at all on it.

Well, if I buy a bunch of Macks will you guys drive for me? I don't pay much...

That's OK, I ain't much of a truck driver!

half fenders are for the rear to cover front tandem.

gg2

The Pete I drive used to have nice looking stainless steel half fenders on it until I picked up a load of lumber at a sawmill in Ga. one time. Put the front strap just a tad too far forward and when I pulled out into the highway it caught the fender on the left side and crinkled it up. Had to pull into a store parking lot and take it off because it was rubbing the tires. They put a set of cheap quarter fenders on it when I got in, and Jeff said he was surprised the half fenders lasted as long as they did.

I feel sure these people could build whatever you want- they do pretty much everything, or they used to anyway. They make TBC truck bodies there, or used to. They even made van trailers, H.H. Moore had a couple of TBC chip trailers. It used to be called Truck Body Corporation but I see the name is different now so they might be just parts installers now too.

I concur Rhasler, he better sell it quick, doesnt look like it will be long before "roof air unit" moves into the cab stead of onto,,,randyp

Hey there randyp!.. ain't been on here much lately-you're not shunning us,like Paul Van Scott are you?

As for the truck, I don't see where it looks so bad- whoa,wtf?!! Pictures 7,8,9, and 10-where'd this come from,the bottom of the ocean?

What a woman. Buying her man a truck. Doesn't get any better than that. Can't beat a Mack.

my thoughts exactly!..I didn't reply, but what a wife!

Anybody still build these things? Haven't seen one in years but would like to have about an eight footer.

I asked body builders/vendors around Peoria yesterday and they no longer build anything; just install.

Rob

I don't know where they come from but Boyle Trucking still uses them a lot and i've seen a Norfolk Southern railroad truck,cabover Freightliner pulling a fuel tanker,around this area that has one.

Don't know where Boyle's out of but I think they haul a lot of explosives.

Rhasler, that is GREAT and it says it all. How TRUE.

mike

It is! By the way, think i'm moving to Italy.

I think thats why i've been "allowed" to increase my toy collection over the years! my wife knows even when i'm on the road,i'm either driving,un-loading,doing paperwork,or sleeping! exciting life i lead eh? LOL!........Mark

I have a corner. My stuff is increasing too. That's "nocluejoe" in the second picture looking at the high binder.

I liked the Cape but never stayed at any of the accomodations as I was stationed at Norfolk. In those days we always tent camped so really wasn't a big deal. I don't fish but there is a lot to see there from a history standpoint which we enjoyed.

I've been on vacation for the past two weeks and went noplace. Sometimes there just ain't noplace like home.

Rob

This is true. I can putter around from the grill to the garden to the cooler sitting on the picnic table to the grill to the cooler and be quite happy.

I know exactly what you mean. I jumped down off the trailer when I was untarping a load of steel in Marshall last week and the guy standing there said "you're a little old for that aren't you?" Thought I must look pretty bad, and I was soaked with sweat. I just said "yeah, I am"

Jo said last week "why don't we go somewhere when you take your vacation this year, maybe Cape Hatteras and you can fish or something"

I said "rooms in Cape Hatteras are prolly $10,000 a night this time of year,so we could only stay about 5 minutes-besides, I go somewhere all the time so when i'm off I ain't going nowhere!"

('cept maybe to Lincolnton,N.C. to the ATHS show)

Awesome.

"The Cowboys" with John Wayne is on right now. I think they're running a marathon of "The Rifleman" on AMC tomorrow.

I liked "The Rifleman" when I was a kid and still watch it on weekends. Another TV show I liked was "Combat" but i've never seen it on reruns.

beautiful paint job on that impostor Killer B! Yeah, she's pretty beatuful herself. What a smile in that last picture!

There can only be one real Killer B,and that's Randyp's!

If you fill with helium, she'll be lighter riding "cowboy".

Rob

baaaaaa...
