  1. Back in the early 80's we had a delivery driver with a chassis mounted crane who forgot to lower the boom. He was listening to a Walkman player and took down two freeway signs before someone caught his attention to stop. Needless to say the company banned headphones after that. If you have a stereo cranked up it would have the same effect.
  2. Thank you Matt and Ed!
  3. I painted some of my parts last year with Nason epoxy primer (after sandblasting). When it comes time to put the color on, I will scuff the primer...should I put another coat of epoxy on before the color, or should I use regular primer? The guys at Axalta said if I use regular primer, I would have to sand before the color.
  4. Pickup man is a great song!! Real country music.
  5. If you have two flat tires, you better see your doctor.
  6. My dad had one U model in his fleet, the thing got wrecked 3 or 4 times before he finally said "no more!" and junked it.
  7. You could even call them a large SUV.
  8. My truck has air start...I love it. Saves a lot on batteries, and easier to jump start (if you got another truck or an air compressor).
  9. Sharp looking U model. The trailer next to it looks like a see-through display trailer with an old pickup in it. I don't believe I've ever seen one of those.
  10. Looks like a nice clean truck!
  11. Click on the Facebook Marketplace link...that will take you to the ad.
  12. He might have to throw in some cash if you got those to trade.
  13. Looks pretty good...ad says it runs and drives, $8,500. I spy a B model and gooseneck in the photo. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/673491740127431
  14. You're right, but some people loosely call tube type rims "split". A true split rim is actually split.
  15. There's a super nice sign museum in Cincinnati that I've been to...your wall almost looks like one of theirs.
  16. The replacement is an MX5100. It has been abused so not photogenic, but it runs good and hydraulics are strong.
  17. I think your rear fenders look nicer than those.
  18. Any idea how much? I got a quote of $2,000 to recast my steering wheel.
  19. BTW, that's a nice looking jib you made for your forklift.
  20. If you're using the Cummins they put in Dodge pickups, that's a good motor. 673 is a good motor but it's old technology and some parts are hard to find. There are thousands of B models around, it won't hurt to modify a few of them.
  21. I had this tractor for mowing my field and pulling old Macks around with. I also had an old Bobcat 610, decided to sell these and buy one tractor with a loader so I could free up space in the shop. This is a 1986 Kubota M4050, it has a 48 hp 6 cylinder diesel. The 6 cyl. has a nice sound and it's a lot smoother than the more common 4 cyl. tractors.
  22. It's good that you ask but these days if someone posts a photo on a public web page they'd better figure it's going to get shared around.
  23. The original front diff chewed up a bearing in the top reduction so there was a lot of damage. I bought another diff from Fuzzy Buzzard and it had good bearings.
