I should be noted that in 2020 the population of Japan was 125.8 million.

So this is roughly 1 in 6, and this will force a huge change

Horses??

Yes

the four legged animal 

Look up Kentucky derby, probably not at that level.

we had two major tracks in our local area and one closed and is now Sofi Stadium home of the Rams football team

betting is a major part of horse racing and with off track betting the attendance at each track has declined

you don’t by any chance have any more information about that truck or a photo, I know it’s a long shot but I am always curious about the history on a truck

This is the first Mack I have dealt with that did not have any means to tow it in the front bumper so I had to change the hooks on one of my chains from grab hooks to slip hooks so i could use it as a bridal on the front axle 

I also found out some more history on this truck 

the previous owner used it to haul race horse’s and sold it when they downsized due to age

What is the going rate in your area?

there will always be guys working cheaply, for wages only still thinking like they are an employee, but how long will they survive and what will happen to them if and when something goes sideways 

i would raise the rate or start charging them for all the little stuff and add a fuel surcharge, if you are mobile 

you need to work smarter, not harder

It looks like a standard 8 x 5 3/8” rim for a 16” lawn tractor front tire

What is the spindle diameter and length and is it centered or offset in the rim

Based on the pictures on line and the manual I found they look like normal garden tractor wheels and tires of the era. Can you post the following information 

tire size

spindle diameter and width 

they look like the case, ingersol, wheels I am familiar with

A 350, great 

I need more power so I am not climbing the passes in the slow lane.

I used to run with the military vehicle group but got kicked out because I drove to fast and all I did was fix everything so it was factory new so I could cruise at a comfortable speed.

at least the ATHS guys travel at 55+ in CA

Did 335s have an intercooler ?

This engine has one

It is tentatively scheduled to be recovered on June 4 and the tractor will be a Mack B model

Dad left us 2020 6 months shy of 91.

He was Korea war wounded. Almost killed in a helicopter crash in lakewood nj, rite in front of the door to hanger 1 of hindenburg fame.

That’s where I learned to drive.

hanger 1 has a 1/2 size aircraft carrier flight deck inside that is used for training

A single axle is very common in Calif pulling double tankers and dump trlrs.

You probably mean bottom dump trailers.

You also see a lot of them hauling hay and in the ag sector not to mention LTL

I did the inside of the cab on my latest project a 1989 F800 with lizard skin and then quiet ride and the combination is great 

my only concern is with water leaks since both of my Mack’s have small drips and the quiet ride insulation will absorb water

Also did the speedometer gear box, get changed or forgotten?

the speedometer on my 1975 did not work until I removed this from the side of the trans and found the drive tang was broken

only one shot was fired.

for the age of the gun, i am thinking it was a 44 colt long. 

 

there are so many conflicting stories being reported it is very hard to know what is true or not. and i doubt we will ever hear the truth. 

45 colt would be correct 

I emptied the tank today and replaced the valve with a NOS valve, all this for a stupid o ring that you can’t replace when there is fuel in the tank 

Can you replace just the shaft seal? I have one that drips and I would rather just replace the seal than draining the tank and replacing the entire valve.

What suspension is in the internationals and the Mack? 
 

each truck has multiple options that are picked when it was ordered. Also just because it was built with one suspension does not mean that is what is on it now. 

How did the install go and what is the part number for the cruse control
