    Do you think it's from a Mack? I don't need it; does anybody want it (free, you pay shipping)?

    What are the peanuts?

    66, you do some nice work! If the Trajan doesn't use an abrasive wheel, what type of wheel does it use?

    This was in a pile of parts in one of my trucks...it could be from a GMC as the guy I bought the truck from was also restoring one. I'm thinking vacuum, maybe a 2-speed rear end shifter?

    That's a great website. Looks like some quality work you've done on those trucks.

    Definitely looks like a good one to save! I hope things go well getting it back together and on the road.

    Yeah, and when the mower hits it the pieces could come out and hurt someone. Anybody who would leave a post like that should be smacked.

    The 6BT Cummins is an excellent motor.

    What is the 34 years you're talking about?

    A couple of very sharp looking trucks on the ATHS website. There's also a '53 Sterling chain drive listed. https://aths.org/advertising-with-aths/AdBuilder/List

    The tractor is very nice, and that dump looks great!

    The ad is gone, so it's probably sold. However, on the same site there's an MH with a 3406 in it...looks pretty good. https://nmi.craigslist.org/hvo/d/1987-mack-semi-tractor/6513956173.html

    In '81 or '82 we had a customer who bought a new Blue Bird Wanderlodge RV with a 210 hp 3208. A few months later, Cat released the turbo (250 hp) 3208 and when said customer heard about that, he brought the RV to us and had us swap the motor so he'd have the 250 hp. He was a lot happier with the power. You're right though, if you put it in a big truck it would be a dog.

    If you ever run across a 12-71 that you don't want in your garage, I'll take it.

    With a V8! The pictures look pretty decent. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-Mack-R700/282936832750?hash=item41e05972ee:g:kjYAAOSw0Pxa2nVx&vxp=mtr

    That is a sharp looking truck! I can't help you but hopefully someone else on the site can.

    The cab is completely gone on that one, there are almost as many holes as intact sheet metal. I'm robbing parts off of it to restore my tandem.

    When I graduated from diesel school in Miami FL in 1981, I started in the truck shop at Kelly Tractor (Cat dealer). To this day I am impressed with how much training Cat invested in their mechanics. I was proud to be a part of their organization and after I left the trucking industry, I was sad to hear Cat got out of it. We worked on a lot of 3406 and 3208 motors, very rarely got a 3408 in the shop.

    I had my son help me move one of the trucks around...he got a good whiff of the diesel smoke from the tractor and he's almost hooked! Crazy thing about this old Ralph Smith truck...it has an air start, it's been parked behind my barn untouched for 12 years. I grabbed the air start lever and it had 10 or 15 psi of air in the tank!!

    You got that right...I cut 4 inches of soil off, put down #2 first, then some #4 and #57 and it still sinks every couple years.
  21. h67st
    Oh, snap!!
  22. h67st
    Is that a 335?
  23. h67st
    The counterweight on that big machine looks like it weighs a couple pounds.

    I didn't realize the Maxidyne was 673...I thought they were 675.

    What's a fish belly frame?
