  1. Late one evening, or either very early the next morning, as the Circus passed through Gladys Va. An Orangutan escaped from his cage, and was immediately struck by a passing automobile. The distraught driver called the sheriff, and exclaimed, come quick, I have hit and killed something, and I don't even know what it is. After his arrival, and subsequent examination, the driver asked the sheriff, well what is it. The sheriff shook his head and said, I don't rightly know. But judging by the callus's on its ass, and the furrows on its brow, it is either a long haul trucker or a domino player.

    I didn't hear anything about any escaped tangarangs, but then I was gone trucking all week.

  2. I suppose I have led a sheltered life, as I was not aware of an overdrive 10 speed prior to the FRO series. The 12513 with it's 1st generation spur cut gears has earned a well deserved rep for being noisy. All the racket is in the back box though. If you wanted to you can replace the rear box with a 12509 rear, and at the same time over drive the front box. That way you can use the transmission you already already have.

    Actually, the '79 F-model I drove had a 10 speed overdrive- rto910 I believe. 4th. and 5th. gears were backwards from the norm, 4th. was towards the rear, 5th. was towards the dash.

  3. How much of a difference is there in an RTO-14609, and a RTO-14610? Given my limited apptitude in such things I do know one has another gear.........

    Really thinking about doing away with the RTO-12513 and the noise. I've looked for a decent priced RTO-14613, but I'm looking for cheap and haven't had much success.

    Thanks,

    Rob

    I drove a T800 with a RTO-14613 and it was the worst trans. in any truck I ever drove. Might have just been a bad unit, but it had way too much slack in the counter gears even when the truck was brand new.

    The 18 speeds are far and away the best I ever drove, but I would imagine they're pretty expensive too.

  4. found more funny pictures- me at Martinsville, 1980- something,

    and me eating Pringles, date unknown, but probably early '80's.

    Might have posted this before, cartoonish picture featuring Jeff. I tried to print a picture of a B-model cement mixer but the ink ran out and I drew the rest of it myself. Jeff was not amused- I thought it was pretty good. He must not have the sense of humor someone like...oh, Rob for instance, has!

  5. Ya know how Canada got it's name, don't ya?

    They put all the letters of the alphabet into a hat & started drawing 'em out one by one.....

    "C, eh?"...."N, eh?"...."D, eh?".... :lol:

    I'm gonna send that to Bill too!..no reply on the joke yet.

  6. A guy walks into a redneck bar and orders a white wine.

    All the rednecks sitting around the bar look up, expecting to see some

    pitiful Yankee from the north.

    The bartender says, "You ain't from around here, are ya?"

    The guy says, "No, I'm from Canada."

    The bartender says, "What do you do in Canada?"

    The guy says, "I'm a taxidermist."

    The bartender says, "A taxidermist? What in tarnation is a taxidermist?

    Do you drive a taxi?"

    "No," says the Canadian "A taxidermist doesn't drive a taxi. I mount

    animals."

    The bartender grins and hollers, "It’s okay boys. He's one of us."

    that's a good one, i'm gonna send that to Old Bill!

  7. Howdy!

    I've got an old commie method my pops told me years ago - at the international fair in Poznań, Poland, they would mix black shoe polish and brake fluid and put that on the tires. I heard it looked beautiful. I'm not so sure though, how this method (and many others described here, for that matter) influence the tire life. While it's surely good to put some kind of pigment on the tire, so that sun rays are blocked out and don't harm the rubber, the solvents that carry that pigment might not be so healthy for them. Should anybody want to try my pops' old method, a word of warning - brake fluid is a pretty strong paint remover, so don't let it contact any painted objects. Hope that helps, have a nice day

    I've used just brake fluid on car tires to make them shine, but all the dust would stick to them. never tried the shoepolish mix.

  8. Speaking of snapping turtles, I once ran a trotline across a small pond and caught these 2, and these eels. All I caught, but the one eel was the biggest i've ever seen. Put the ax there for size comparison, and it's a full size ax, not a hatchet. Date on the pictures was 1986.

  9. now that i think of it,i thought paladin was the charactor on have gun will travel.lol bob

    He was. He was a hired gun. Dressed in fine clothes,sipped the fine wine,stayed in the fine hotel in San Francisco. His card read "have gun will travel-wire Paladin,San Francisco". But when someone hired him he dressed in all black and was bad-ass!

  10. Tom, Who did you say the first B Model in pink was? She could get me to wear a helmet anytime.

    mike :pat:

    I don't know who it is,i've had it saved for a while.probably got it from onequickbeer.com

  11. That sounds like a plan but the grinding one can feel in the floor and through the steering column concerns me. Although perfectly normal in something with a Red Oval on the hood, it is found to be unacceptable when a bulldog resides up front, and his asshole in the driver's seat.

    This thing sure does run fine with fresh fuel replacing the 10+ year old diesel that was in the tanks!

    Rob

    Oh, that's right- sorry, I was thinking Peterbilt thoughts. I had to get some of those big bass speakers and a 15,000 watt amplifier after the radio no longer got loud enough.
