  1. was there much of a language barrier between New England and Tennessee, or did you have a "How to Speak Southern" book?
  2. "now, if everybody would just send me $200 so I can go to Boca Beach and git me one of them there hotdogs"
  3. I thought that bus looked fermiliar!
  4. this is true. and the engine brake on that paccar engine is about the same way as your Sterling. It's not nearly as stong as the one on the c-15 cat was,but it's geared higher,got 3.36 rears and the Pete had 3.55's. I can go down Sandstone in 7th. gear at a low rate of speed with 45-46,000 on and not even have to touch the brakes, in 8th I have to hold them lightly all the way down, so I always ease on down it in 7th. Unless it's snow covered, then I park at the top until a salt truck goes by. Oh, as for the "rule of thumb"- the only one I like is "you can go down the hill too slow many times, but you can only go down it too fast once."
  5. now, if everybody would send me $10 so I can get a cup of coffee...
  6. just save the picture and where it says "file type" or "save as type" change it from bitmap to jpeg.
  7. ...and now- the rest of the story.
  8. .I don't get it Ed- what do boobs have to do with a Superliner?
  9. Does look great!
  10. Wonder where our intrepid leader Rob's been lately?..I just feel so lost and aimless without his guidance...never mind, I always feel lost and aimless.
  11. Hi Speed! dammit, long time no-hear from! Anyway, all this is news to me too- i've never heard of this before, sounds like b.s. to me, but I don't know.
  12. If you could find one of these you'd be set- but, like Payhaulers, they are very rare.
  13. I ordered a DVD from Farmington Implement Co. called 70 Years of International Harvester, got segments about the Payhauler, Scouts, snow fighters, the LCD 405, and more stuff. Pretty good video, the Payhauler part is from 1976, Scout from 1959-1960, snow fighters is from 1938, the LCD 405 is from 1952. I think I ordered it out of a Wheels of Time magazine.
  14. I like it.
  15. Well thank you very much randyp!
  16. I just watched a video from IH again, that's how I recognized a Pay hauler in the first place, and the Pay hauler part was filmed in 1976 at a coal co. near Hazard ,Ky. I just watched it and I forgot the name of the coal co. already. Thought maybe it was where you worked.
  17. That is a great story. I didn't understand one part though- you borrowed your neighbor's what?
  18. were you going north on rt. 19, or maybe I-79 about 3:30 Thursday afternoon? If you were I think I saw you-if you weren't, I probably didn't.
  19. ...and I took them just for you!..no thanks necessary.
  20. Looks like it. http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1T4SUNA_enUS226US228&q=International%20Payhauler&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=wsWIT5jnH4j49QSk5tm0CQ&biw=1424&bih=748&sei=3cWIT-H4N8SCgAf3krj2CQ
  21. well, it's no wonder- they're extremely rare, seldom seen, and never before photographed.
  22. and spellin'...you forgot spellin'...by the way, isn't grammar spelled grammar?
  23. Sorry too for your loss, sounds like he was a great man.
  24. Almost forgot- I do have some new pictures- here's a hammer-down R-model headed east on 64, coming out of W.V. headed to the paper mill in Covington, Va. This is the wildfire on the mountain, west of Covington. The Case tractor in Ohio. West Virginia log haulers load the wagon! And some construction equipment I saw. "Cross dress for less?"..wtf?
