Ya couldn't pay me to go back to D.C. for anything and I didn't leave anything their in 1972. It was a Cluster %&*@ if ya know what I mean.....I have a brochure that I picked up at the Huntsville Show with a show in NorthCarolina in October of 09 is this the one you are thinking about?......Couldn ya jist bite ole rosie on tha cheek.....LOL....LOL

mike

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Been around "suicide circle" too many times. Rosie looks like she sees a short piece of 2x4 coming at her cheek!..or maybe she's looking at a buffet.

There's an ATHS show in Cherokee, N.C in October. The one i'm gonna try to make used to be the Troutman show, this year they moved it to Lincolnton. The ad in Wheels of Time says Taylorsville, the brochure says Lincolnton

Anyway, this is the one-I went last year and the year before, and once before Becky passed away. It's always been a good show. Be sure to stop and pick up Joe and the family on your way!

Will you be flying, or riding your bike?

Tom..............like I tell a guy here at work(the typical clown/jokester)........................"You need to find a job that keeps you more active" LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no doubt i've had way too much time to kill lately

this might have some useful information-

I see you guy's have been having a good time in my absence. Yea Herb....I resemble that remark......me and the g/f have been in Gatlinburg since friday night. Didn't get away as early as I wanted because mom's waterheater had a leak so I had to find a new one at Lowe's. Didn't get away without spending $400.00 for it and then went back to mom's and installed it. It was a lot nicer to put in without having to use copper pipe and soldering. The cleanup was taking the most time.

Tom,

Looks like too many people keeping an eye on the hen-house huh. I do believe i've seen some of them varmints before....LOL!............I'm ready for another truck show since I enjoyed the Huntsville Show so much.......Have not heard from the bumblebee yet have ya?

mike

No, I haven't. I like the shows too, never been to the national show before though. They had it in Baltimore a couple of years ago, but it might as well have been on the moon. I wouldn't drive around D.C. and Baltimore for it. I'm gonna try to make it to the North Carolina show in July. Winchester is a really good one too, but I couldn't make it the last 2 years.

I think Rosie's the best-she looks so natural.

Well to eveyone who responded and to eveyone who went I got shot down again. Thursday afternoon, after having sat at the house all week waiting on a load dispatch called and shot my plans to attend my first truck show right in the butt. Jerks.... oh well I needed the load after sitting all week (Otherdog knows what I'm talking about) so Friday morning i took off to Choo Choo and loaded going up to North Haven Ct. unloaded saturday and got home this afternoon. I hope you had a great time Mike and Bumblebee. Maybe next time.

yep, that's how it usually works.

Re-fixed again!

good one! looks like Mike is just completely s.o.l.

This is way too much fun...

Rob is red with the factory winch on the front. At least he was red the last time I saw him.

Had to play "fix that post".

The nerve...to insinuate he might get stabbed in the back whilst he's gone...that's just wrong

In the Operation Manual for 1959, this is for a 1959 H-67 with a END-673, they recommend EO-E (Heaviest-duty Engine Oil) and list Military Specification MIL-L-2104B.

As for the grade table 10W-30 looks like a good choice. But this is what they used in 1959.

I am going to change oil, what oil should I use that is available today and where to get it? Same oil you all use in these old Macks.

Thanks,

Double Diamond

Hey Double Diamond, ain't heard from you in a long time! As for your question, I don't know. I had my oil changed at a garage that does a lot of truck work, but when I drove it home it was a gallon low, so I put a gallon of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer in it because I didn't know what kind of oil they used.

I'll forward any funds to Bill...long as I don't have to pay taxes on it. But if it's a donation I shouldn't have to worry about that anyway-right Barry? and it's all documented here...right Barry? You've got my back, don't you Barry?

I'm new at this...never done this kind of thing before...screw the taxes-Old Bill's one of my best and dearest friends, and i'll forward any funds sent!..guess I should put my address on here, eh? (Canadian)

This should make it easier for a lot of people to donate what they want and can afford. Any and all donations will be sent directly to Bill. I started this, so i'll step up. I know he'll appreciate it, and I appreciate it as well.

Thank you very much indeed! (David Gilmour)

I must be off now, before I get teary eyed.

Somebody,

Tell Nikki i'll be up to visit her and Momma while the Magnet is gone, the truck show can wait! That Arrow can fly pretty fast, especially with a tail wind. Ya Ha Ha......should get their in an hour and ten minutes after flying through all them MOA's with no problem.

mike

Too late-she's being guarded in Rob's absence. Different people are taking turns keeping an eye on her for her protection.

Glad you had a great time Mike(and Bobby). These shows are quite the sight to see. Never ending stuff to look at and people to talk to. Just no way for me to go that far.

Here's the ATHS group photo from Syracuse in '03.....(has it been 6 yrs?)

back: Stan walls, Dennis Wells, me, ?, ?, Dan Bruno, Indiana Bob, few hiding, Terry Tombaugh, Mike Harbison, Tony Weston, Bob

kneeling: Rick, Dean, ?, ?(tip of my tongue)

Mike, I have 4.62's in my truck. Gets you 65 on the highway up on the gov'r. Love to get you mine, as I'd like to get an air ride 4.3ish for mine. Not sure, if ever it will happen...........but a guy can dream, right?

neat picture- right in there amongst Dr. Bill's trucks. He seemed like a really nice guy in the videos, I was sorry to hear he'd passed away.

He sure dose like to hang out in the shop too, He wants to be right there in the middle of the action! I got some mor pictures of him in his baby seat right up on the fender while I was installing the 237 in this winter. He loves riding on the John Deere's too. Most kids are afraid of the old G, It sure is loud, don't bother him a bit..

I hope to be at Macungie and maybe Lititz PA this year. I thought about Huntsville Al. show but I found out that the show is in an old airport, and there are no trees at all. not a good place to take a baby for 3 days in the summer. If you go to Huntsville make sure to bring a tent or shade of some sort.

Fred

If Rob is gonna be there, just find him and stay in his shadow all day for shade.

Nice pics,sounds like you had a interesting week.

yeah, it was a great adventure.

I am getting an awful painfull ass cause the sunburn is burning now. Done lined my shorts full of "Noxema" creme to combat the pain.

I'll check in when I get to destination to ensure my honor is safeguarded.

I don't want to be back with Momma

well, i'm sure she'll be interested to hear that. too bad about your burning butt.

Tom,

Is it ok to send funds to your address. I'm not a member of any pay pal whatever that is?

Thank You

mike

well...gee...I guess so. I can deposit it in my account, then send that amount by paypal. Or, it's easy to sign up if you'd rather-

or, to go straight to the sign up page-

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cm...511727fbf3e9efc

but yeah, i'll do that for ya.

I should have put this link on here at first anyway.

Tom,

Before the Oklahoma trip is cver the Movie with Nikki and me will be "Pretty Woman" .....You can be Best Man......has anyone got a phone # so I can call before I come?......OH...I know I can get it from the Mack Registry...........I'll let ya know how it goes when I get back.

YA....HA....HA

mike

P.S. Does anyone need any free Mack Parts......LOL....LOL

...I admire your optimism. oh well, nothing like having confidence...

How much change was in the can?

I estimated $250. I poured in into another can that wouldn't quite hold it all. I put my change out of my pocket in it twice since, Friday and last night. Counted it this morning and it was $33.75. I just called the bank and the can I took in last week had $218.59. That comes out to $252.34-when you figure I added the change out of my pocket twice since-damn I was close!..wish I could guess lottery numbers like that!

Barry,

I tried to post a photo after typing my text and clicked on green browse button but it said that my phoyo was too big. Then I found otherdog's training post but still flopped. It is a step that is simple but I have not found the cure yet.

mike

after you resize a picture, don't forget to click "save" or "save as".

Well I have been lurking around the forum for some time.

Its an interesting read and offers good advice..

I am part of the company and based here in Australia.

The forum offers the most important part of the Mack brand.. its culture,heritage,emotion and history

I can see it now...

Rob arrives home from a long road trip to Oklahomer and sits down at the table to enjoy a delicious ''slab-o-lab" stew Momma had made last Tuesday. "Where's Nikki?" says Rob. Momma cuts her eyes over at Junior briefly and says "couldn't say...she done r-u-n-n-o-f-t ". Rob says "she must be looking for answers". Momma says "possibly...but it's more likely she took off with that fellar that come up here in that airplane and landed in the yard. I don't know who he was, but he sure is a nice fellar".

Junior says "I'll kill 'at sumbitch!" Rob says "you shouldn't oughta talk like 'at-yer jest a boy! Now go out to the shop and git me that lawnmower blade off the workbench.The one I just sharpened year before last and never got around to putting back on the mower."

Then he tells momma "you better call that 9-1-1. Tell 'em to send a amburelence and a hurst. Mike's gonna be needin' one or the other as soon as he gits back here"

(That's 2 whole movies in a nutshell-"O Brother Where Art Thou" and "Slingblade")

Could ya swing through Fairfield Iowa and get me an old PowerWagon to replace my stolen one !!!! I'll gladly pay you on tuesday for a truck today!

I saw an old PowerWagon or two when I went to look at those old trucks a while back.

Ya, you always "wish" you had MORE whatever, but then when you come along someone with real problems it kinda humbles you. All that "important" stuff all of a sudden isn't. I could have used that money for something, but I'll survive without it. I'm square with the world and got a roof over my head so that's good for me.

Amen brother! (Bulldogman)

No need there Mike. The "chick magnet" is accurate, but a couple years old.

Rob

a COUPLE?!! more like- oh...first of June, first of June...

I would ask if you could stop by and pick me up too-i'd like to take a look around myself while the cat's away...but i'm too far out of route.

...and don't forget to wear your bib overalls and straw hat so you don't burn your crack or your head further.
