  1. quite often you can just look at the rig the guy drives to work, if dirty, has unmatched tires, battle scars, and you can hear the brakes grinding a mile away ......you damn sure dont want them running YOUR IRON. every so often their is an exception, but not too often! After hearing damn near every excuse from over 50+ truck drivers each year when i was road building, I could damn near pick out my problem drivers just by seeing what they drove to work, if they dont care about what they own they damn sure wont care about YOURS!
  2. What they said...... Thanks Vets!
  3. better limp down to the quick stop and buy a lotto ticket! I know you dont think so but you are very lucky to still be above ground, sorry it happened to you ..... glad your still with us! P.S. a stationary bike and a stair stepper will be your new life for a while, but do it ! or you will be sorry!!!! damn i'm just full of cheery news arn't I ....... been there done that!
  4. it just holds the trailer tongue when empty....... at least with that load!... now i want to see the cable loader that loaded it!!!
  5. with a little farm enginering i would think it could be done. the computer should be controling a solenoid which activates the fan, if you interupt the solenoid control curcit you should be able to install a kysor switch which would tell the fan when to kick on, if you have a/c you will also need to run the high pressure switch thru this curcit ( to keep from blowing up your a/c) i would also put a manual fan switch in the curcit as well
  6. i always thought ford conventionals looked ok-alright, why did every coe they built besides the budd cab look like a cereral box with windows?
  7. superdog i guess we have something in common!............. the same guy organizes our stuff
  8. mower man what part of the country are these pics from..... i see apple bins in the back ground! or maybe onion bins or perhaps grape fruit bins
  9. nice country! where's the mountains and steep hills?
  10. i think Paul nailed it! looks like an accumulator. a lot of guys were firm belivers in ether using them or electeric preoilers prior to start up.
  11. yeah.......Rowdy yer not living up to your name ! i expected to rear the RODEO SONG playing in the back ground, thats my fav. for driving with idiots...... ".YOU PISS ME OFF..... F----ING JERK......GET ON MY NERVES" !
  12. i bet if you found him at the bar, his conversation would be- he was lowboying today and moving around the big iron
  13. should have called the local C.V.E.O. and said, now do the industry a favor and remove her from service! claims she been running that way for 10 years and none of you guys have caught her?
  14. HEY HEY HEY...... i think it was later than 1965! or maybe i ate too many paint chips
  15. what the hell is next no TONKAS because they promote soil erosion, defacing of nature, and a work ethic........not to mention common since ( moving metal parts can pinch)
  16. hard to beleive that a 16L e-9 can be replaced with one of these and get the same stock factory power!
  17. now i just have to pay attention while auction shopping, and not buy any toys that are 480volt only! as i used 240volt 3 ph. oh and 2 weeks ago i ran across a 350,000 btu waste oil heater ......so it followed me home
  18. hummm...........must be a cat and dog calander
  19. ok thought it was time for an up date, the pud showed up today and the 3ph. power is now in, now i need to get my ass off of a tractor and back in the shop and prep things for the floor!
  20. take a temp gun and shoot the temps at the exhaust ports, it sounds like a bad injector this should help you find the bad one. my guess is that it blew off a tip off of one injector and its spraying nonatomized fuel causing the off color smoke and once hot enough it burns and cleans up
  21. if you have a thread in compression tester, adapt the sparkplug adaptor over to a shop air fitting then reinstall the nuts back on the studs leave about 1/8 in.of thread showing then use a regulated air source at about 20 psi then fill cylinder and tap around head with soft hammer or mallet, change cylinders as needed to lift head you may have to rotate the crank to get valves closed on other cylinders. CAUTION DO NOT GET NEAR ROTATING PARTS WHEN YOU ATTACH AIR TO THE CYLINDERS AS THE CRANK CAN SPIN!
  22. after 150 mile drive, i would have loaded a cap pistol and busted a cap in his ass! then i would have at least felt better knowing i capped a liberal in a nonviolant way.
  23. i would try removing the exhaust pipe at the manifold, then plug the exhaust manifold remove all spark plugs and fill cylinders with solvent / diesel mix and let maranate for a few days. then if needed remove head i would sugest a air hammer / air chisel with flat bit and drum on heads of bolts this should free them from the rust with out breaking ! PS heavely oil the dist. shaft as it is most likely dry and rusty as well.
  24. is it just me, or does that CAT look like a redesigned SUPERLINER ?
  25. where do you find TRACTION TIRES that work that well?
