Put a Bulldog on it; It will last forever.

I'm gonna try that...

Tonight I decided to get with the program on my 73 RL and clean the cooling system before yanking the radiator to send in for evaluation. The upper and lower bolt on tanks both leak at the gaskets so I'm gonna let the radiator shop take care of it. If it needs recored I'll have that done at the same time. I rebuilt the water pump a few months ago and there was a pile of rust in the housing that I cleaned out at that time. The cooling system has obviously been uncared for.

I drained and refilled this thing six times tonight with clean water, let the engine get warm enough to open the thermostats then drained it again. Each time the discharge water is filthy red with rust. As the discharge from the petcock slows due to water level falling, the petcock clogs with solid particulate matter and requires a small screwdriver to get it flowing again. This has happened four of the six times. The last couple of times the water is getting a little clearer.

I'm sure the core is partially clogged on the insides due to this buildup. I'll continue to flush it a couple more times before pulling the radiator to get as much out as possible. I think I'm going to build an air powered water cannon like some of the radiator shops use to have to backflush the block when the radiator is out.

Don't want to plug a freshly rodded or recored radiator; That just may ruin my whole day.

I was looking at a "Four Wheeler" magazine while I was waiting to unload at N.B. Handy Wednesday and saw an ad for something i'd never heard of - a synthetic coolant, no mixing, that they said cooled better than water and antifreeze, absolutely would not freeze, and would not rust or corrode anything. Probably expensive too, eh?

my father in law used to put just a little bit of kerosine in the radiator when he fushed them out-not with a pressure flusher, but the same way you're doing-fill with garden hose, run 'til hot, drain, repeat.

Yes but please limit yours posts to something of substance!!

Rob

substance...wtf that is anyway?

I knew Rob would know more on the issue of exhust back pressure then I will ever know. I know a little but not enough to pass an A1 ASE.

I want to know if plan on other mods on the mower or keep it looking stock.

the stock look is cool

rims ok mod

spinners heck no!

22"s another heck no!!

Walmart spinner hub caps HECK NO!

cragers cool yes!!

8 ball shifter knob awsome

flames so over done and over used!

red always a classic and nice color

rember there is asuch thing as too much chorme and billit.

I would ask Rob and Bollweevil for some more things to add to this list of mods.

Jocko please tell me of your plans, mild or wild

...maybe a few small LED lights

Scott is on this forum. Have to search his name, I think he goes by Sthoren here?

I got another message from Bill and he said he did find Scott's e-mail address.

Tom,

... My fingers would get sore playing it.

mike

...amongst other things...

I haven't seen the movie, but I heard Megan Fox is in some scenes too.

From an E-mail from Andrew Bowyer in Australia-apparently he likes boobage too...

How do YOU pronounce Oklahoma ?

Knowing how fond you are of the written word and correct pronunciation:

I thought you should be aware of this.

There is a right way and a wrong way to pronounce

Oklahoma

The Proper Way is: OKLA...HOMA

(There's a pause between the 'a' and the 'h'.)

I can prove it.

Man don't you know that no one wears underwear anymore? Thats old school. I don't think you can get them at the store anylonger. Today the "G" string is the favorite way to go or go for nuthin at all.

Tom......if you see this, show ROB what i'm talkin about. I think he may be clueless. Show him what a "G" string is, and what you can do with it while having.......well you know.

mike

Sorry Mike, I don't know anything about guitars.

I had the same trouble with the mixer. It took about a month for the batteries to drain too low to start it, and it only started doing this after 2 guys stopped by to look at it and started it up while I was gone. My wife was there, and I don't think it was anything in particular that they did, but I don't know. I just went and bought 2 battery disconnect switches and put them on it, because it sets for long periods of time anyway.

Otherdog I know you have to drive a Pete-of-trash but do you have to torcher us by making us look at them

Matt

ok Mackdaddy, check this out...OK Rob, here's the rest of the picture that I cut off at first...hope everybody's happy now. I'm happy as a monkey on a banana boat.

Dang........ is that Rob again in one of his disguises? He has told us he was big but.........WOW......that's super size. How does MOMMA get T- Shirts to fit him?

mike

naw, this is Rob in one of his disguises. It's a secret spy shot taken when he was walking his dogs last winter.

Now, if you just want to burn brush, call me the next time you are in Alpharetta. I can fix you up with about twenty. I"ll even help you load and strap them down.

OK

This is really good!

Amen sister! Barney Frank...nuff said!..pure A-hole. Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, Pelosi, Reid,-their arrogance just disgusts me. They have absolutely no clue what it's like to be the common man in this country.

I could do that......

great, I got a brush pile I need to burn...send me some wheels too, I...I...I'll think of something.-

Guy is cleaning out his barn and discovers that he has a few tires in a size he no longer uses on farm trucks. Asks if I'll take and get rid of them for him.

Out of a total of seven tires, five are 10.00RX20 with two virgin steer tires, (Yokahama), two new recap Fidelity brand, and another recap that is excellent. Each of the tires have new tubes and flaps included. I asked about the steer tires and they have less than 7500 miles on them when he swapped to tubeless tires from another truck. The other two are dry rotted so I'l prolly use them for something else.

Be nice to get the flat spot bias tires off the front of one of my trucks. I'll use the caps on my yard dog so reliability won't be an issue as it never leaves the property.

Rob

Geez, I wouldn't put them tires on a wheel barrow!..just send them to me, and i'll dispose of them for you at no cost.

Free is always my favorite brand.

Indeed, mine's too-I can git free used tires, just wish I could afford the used wheels to put them on.

I was upset also about the "over coverage" of him and she was sidelined. I think she was her best looking about 10-15 years ago. She did mature gracefully as did the other 2. She is now a true angel.

Absolutely Greg, a true American beauty she was.

Farrah Fawcett passed away this week, not unexpectedly. I bought a Chattanooga paper Friday to read while I was sitting in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Dayton, Tn. waiting on a load. There were several articles about Michael Jackson, who passed very unexpectedly, and not even a brief mention of Farrah Fawcett...nothing-not a word. So i'll jump up on the BMT soapbox while no one's using it to say farewell Farrah!

I'm sure he realizes your heart is in the right place.

It's been my experience most folks prefer to live with grief or dire situations in private.

Reasonably certain he will not be angry, or dissapointed with you for attempting to ease the burden borne at this time by all parties.

Probably best to honor his request and be proud of your accomplishments as I'm sure "Old Bill" is.

Rob

Thanks Rob, I hope so- the last thing I wanted to do is something he didn't want me to do, but what's done is done. I hope a thousand people send him $10.

Got an e-mail from Old Bill the other day. He said he'd gotten a contribution from Scott Thoren from some forum, but didn't have an e-mail address so he could send him a thank you. He was wondering if I might know it. He also thanked me again, said his website was shut down, and asked me not to mention the situation anywhere else as he preferred not to mention it around the world...uh-oh!

...maybe if he gets lots of donations he won't be too mad at me, eh?

Looking for real pics of the" Hayes" trucks wondering if someone have restored one ??,

Just curious I never saw one other than in pictures on a calander.
