  1. And we (Hellertown) will soon have the KME that cost $640K for sale. Being replaced with a quint costing $1,072,000. But I am pretty sure Ron will not want to buy the KME.
  2. Heh that's an old Jevic trailer.....LOL
  3. O U T S T A N D I N G !!!!! Congrats Mom and Dad and a proud big brother!!!! Well done!!
  4. What kind of gas are you running and if it is ethanol-formulated, how long did it sit? You may have snot in the carb and fuel system; you may have to rebuild the carb. Strongly recommend you run non-ethanol if you can get it. www.pure-gas.org
  5. I remember coming across 40 between Barstow and Needles and it was 109 at night. Was in a first generation Jevic T800 and the A/C was out.
  6. There are several possibilities.
  7. Federal Q sirens came out way too late to have been installed original equipment on a Type 45
  8. Yer OK BMack that's all that matters. Fix her and put her back to work.
  9. "I have this complete box and shaft, I dont need it, if it fits you can have it." Others post photos of repair manuals. Others lend memories of having done this work and their recollections of what to and not to do..... Thats why I love BMT. Everyone helps everyone. This place ROCKS
  10. Yep. Confirming that the Brockway show has been cancelled.
  11. Gerharts is still being pondered. A final decision has not been determined but I anticipate that any day now. Brockway has been downgraded to a one-day event on that Saturday. Harford Pa. (Northeastern Pa Chapter of the ATCA) has been cancelled.
  12. When I was 11, I completely rebuilt a B & S horizontal shaft engine. I wrote a letter to B & S Customer Service asking for a B & S Decal for the shroud (had to scrape off the old one to re-paint it.) I explained I was 11 and did not know who to address the letter to. I also explained that I would gladly pay for the decal if there was a cost, and also told them I was a big fan of their product. About 3 weeks later I get home from school and there is a big package waiting for me. It contained a letter from (I think it was Frederick Stratton, CEO at the time) thanking me for my interest in B & S. The box also contained a service manual, decals, a B & S jacket and a ball cap. I wish I still had that letter.
  13. You would cringe at it now. Google Wind Creek Casino Bethlehem.
  14. A really nice one usually comes to Macungie......On years where there isn't a worldwide pandemic that cancels Macungie.
  15. I started a thread on my personal FB page for you. Got some leads already: 1. Give John Miller at Shop One in Pennsburg Pa. a call. Tell him that that Dan Supplee said to call about the old Mack sitting out back with the pump still in it. 2. Give Sean Desjardins at Emergency Equipment Sales and Service in Ewing NJ a call. 877-337-8885. Tell him Randy sent you. He said he may very well have something NOS sitting around.
  16. He was mumbling something under his breath about "under powered two stroke can't hear myself think mechanical asshole" or something like that.
  17. Cody is already talking about swapping it with a 300 Maxidyne. I had a tear in my eye when he was discussing it.
  18. Probably could but the machinist would need drawings for some of the assembly. And good luck with that. I just put the word out to some guys who would know where to look.
  19. Bethlehem Steel had planned on building 300-400 Sears Kit homes in my town, but only 61 were completed. They were marketed to workers who had just returned from fighting in WWII. https://www.mcall.com/news/mc-xpm-2007-05-13-3731208-story.html
  20. Glenn, are you the one who posted on Facebook and some knucklehead suggested you go to an automotive electrical shop? If that was you, I am the one who (politely) told that guy "Are you effing insane?" Let me do some sniffing around for you.
