  1. That's the guy that was pulling people out of the mud at Macungie 20.......09 maybe? 2010??? The year it was a frikken monsoon all day Friday and part of Saturday AM......And Randy, that's a radial aircraft engine on the back that runs, too......He fires it up every now and then at shows but he doesn't run it long as the vortex of fuel consumption takes over and empties the tanks of every vehicle within 100 yards.
  2. Jason why don't you just ask Cal Little........BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
  3. Wonder if they did any bare bear porn?
  4. How do you find the Jumper's grill? Look for the one with the oil dry under it........
  5. This is the day that any arrogant frenchmen should have to kiss the bare, naked ass of any American in the center of Paris at high noon.
  6. I have a bunch of pic of Walters in a private collection in Circleville, NY that I will post later.
  7. The grill isn't 2-stroke, is it?
  8. Dammit you guys beat me to the "turd" comment...........And as for the Pete emblem falling off, it's a beginning.
  9. "If it has tits or tires, yer gonna have trouble."
  10. That's the "Naughty Librarian."
  11. Are you sure that's a Walter? Looks like an Oshkosh- I thought Walter was out of the game by 1977....???? Old Walters are COOL. They are UNSTOPPABLE especially with that Frink V-Plow on the front. What are the specs? I suppose it has a green leaker? But you might luck out and get one of the many that came from the factory with an L10 Cummins.......????
  12. That top one, Honeypot Fire Co of Nanticoke, Pa. is a 1963 Model FJS, 750gpm/500gallons. Was originally delivered with an F817G Waukesha but later repowered with a DT466/Turbo. They kept the 5-speed. Seats 6 (comfortably, too. Not cramped!) That particular cab was developed for line crews and other utility work, this rig is only one of four believed to have been built as a firetruck, and is the only one of the three known left that is in pristine condition. One is in pieces and will most likely never see the light of day again except to be scrapped, and the other one has a tree growing through it. I almost bought this one about a year ago- I came -----> <----- this close to doing it, until I came to my senses and remembered that I don't have any indoor storage large enough for it. And I am not the kind of guy that would store it outside 1. To deteriorate in the weather and 2. Subject my neighbors to seeing and dealing with it. I understand it went to a good home in Maine.
  13. For your viewing pleasure, some items in my collection of some more unusual F.W.D. vehicles. How in the hell did that get in there? Credits to the photographers of these rigs, their names are all lost to time.
  14. Yes just saw this thread now, however you and the peanut gallery should know that "Lord Four Wheel Drive" already has these pics in his files.........*yawn* Why are the pages sticky?
  15. Call Ed Schumaker at the Mack Trucks Museum, see if they have any vendors on their list of parts suppliers that may be able to help you.
  16. I'm sure anyone who knows small engines knows this- but throwing it out there just in case......If you want ethanol-free gasoline, check this out: www.pure-gas.com
  17. Ken you are correct- lots of it is made in China, but I believe Generac's gen set side is made in Japan, and the engines are Briggs & Stratton. Ken if you are an engineer and want something absolutely bombproof, get full Honda set. They are expensive but the things never quit. Had a buddy bring me a trash pump once- was underwater (dont ask.) All I did was drain the crankcase, refill with oil and pour fresh gas in it, ran it for a few minutes, changed the oil, ran for 2 hours, changed the oil once more and the thing runs fine to this day. Their generators are bombproof too just dont submerge them.
  18. How about FUCKTARDS? Can we say THAT?? ECD I guess it goes without saying to put the word out to every scrap yard in a 100 mile radius...........
  19. Ken, each and every person that I know that has bought a gen from HF has ended up regretting it. So many problems I can't begin to go into them all in detail here. I have at least four friends I can think of off the top of my head that kick themselves in the azz for buying one. If you are going to use it often for chores around the farm, etc....I personally would steer clear of them. I have two friends that are contractors (and two of the four mentioned above) who use their Generac's on an almost daily basis and have nothing but good things to report about them.
  20. Yep check any and all braided/aeroquip lines for internal collapse. Also dump some fuel treatment/algae killer in there, never know what's growing where.
  21. Maybe that thing is air-cooled?
  22. Let's go off-roading and see if you can keep up.............
  23. Recently discovered early photo of Mack engineers road-testing a prototype U-Model on the Mack test track.
  24. yes, grossing 100,000+ !!!!!!!!! Me LIKEY!!!!
  25. Methinks if he had his Superdog he would have made you eat your words!!!!!!
