  1. Well duh....stupid pod things
  2. I have a LOT of leaves from four oak trees but all I have to do is blow them to the curb and the town comes and vacuums them up 3 or 4 times every fall.
  3. That there is an Anniversary-Series Seagrave, old tractor-drawn aerial. (tiller)
  4. Meanwhile the ports on the Delaware River in Bucks County Pa that are not ILA are in full swing running 24 hours.........
  5. Yes but he is actually over here on the East Side about 15 miles from me
  6. If you are still looking for someone to haul it for you, call UNDER DOG Gregg Hoffman (not Other Dog Tommy Blackwell) His number is 610-428-6075 If he does not answer, he is trucking but leave a message and he will call you back during business hours when his hands aren't full of steerin' wheel and shifter.
  7. I volunteer at the museum and vaguely remember something like this when we were moving some large posters around last summer (I think?) Use this link and contact the museum with your description and request. https://www.macktruckshistoricalmuseum.org/contact-us/
  8. NOTE: Not much air!!! No more than 5 or 10 psi at a time! It doesnt take much, Any more and you will blow out seals. Also- you mentioned speaking with Waterous. If you give them the Pump and Transfer Case serial numbers, they will send you manuals and parts break downs FREE OF CHARGE.
  9. INDOORS And if storage falls below freezing, you absolutely, positively MUST MUST MUST winterize the pump. Get yourself an extra discharge cap, set it up in a drill press and drill a 1/2" hole through it, then tap and thread it to accept a threaded nipple. Then a quarter turn valve with a male air chuck. Open ALL discharges, intakes, pump and tank drains. Drive the truck around a few miles to slosh around any standing water. Get back to the shop, close everything. Put your modified cap on a discharge, and open that discharge valve, Hook up an air hose to the chuck, and using the quarter turn valve, let in small amounts of air at a time as you open each and every discharge and intake drain valves. This will push out any remaining standing water. When you are all done, leave every valve and drain open the duration of the winter storage. That way if there is still any standing water in it, it will have a place to go if it freezes and expands.
  10. I'm the good looking one
  11. Yes there is another Martin's MH, owned by a gentleman near Easton, Pa.
  12. CF612 ETAZ673A-315/320HP Thermodyne 300 Plus CF686 ENDT676-285 HP EM6285 Maxidyne 300 EM6300
  13. Philadelphia, too.
  14. "LARGE" on the left in the cowboy hat and safety vest
  15. The fInal Official Count was 1027 Trucks!
  16. Yes that's it. You don't have to use the liquid that comes with it- I have had good luck with a spray bottle of water with a few spoonfuls of dish soap. Do it in the shade or when the metal surfaces are cool. Have plenty of microfiber towels handy and beer of course.
  17. Food on site: The Macungie Fire Dept does breakfast sandwiches in the morning and burgers/dogs for lunch. There are also a few other food vendors. Out on Main Street, there is a decent Diner and a pizza place both right across the street from the main entrance.
  18. I used a Maguiar's clay bar on an old firetruck with faded paint like that and then compounded, and finished with a spray ceramic wax...my god it was like new.
  19. Other Dog and Zena From Virginia formerly from Florida and formerly from Conneticuit before that know me dearly, well and have my phone number. I think I have a great idea (doesn't happen that often) Friday for lunch I will run you to Bethlehem we will chow down at Carls, and then I will run you past what is left of the old Bethlehem Steel site.
  20. Get with me Friday during the day, come hell or high water I will get you a decent meatball sub.
  21. There are several options. 1. Macungie Fire Department charges $5.00 to park at their lot. All the money goes to their firefighting operations fund. 2. The Boy Scouts run a parking lot off of Main Street, I think it's $5.00. A good cause. 3. Many private residences along Walnut Street allow you to park in their driveways and yards for a few bucks. 4. Street parking where available. Pay attention to signs, you will get ticketed if you violate. Stick to the residential neighborhood off of Walnut Street. We are not ATHS. We are ATCA!!! There are NO entrance fees for spectators!!! The only fee is to enter a truck into the show!!! Check your private messages!!! And don't forget to meet at the Watts Mack Tent at 12:00 on Saturday for the BMT group picture!!!!!
  22. STOP!!!!! JUST STOP!!!!!! BARF!!!!!!!!!
  23. Maybe get OD to take you to Carl's at some point, I am pretty sure they have meatball subs.
  24. LAST CALL!!!!! IF YOU WANT TO GET TOGETHER FOR DINNER ON THURSDAY EVENING PLEASE RESPOND HERE. AS OF NOW THERE REALLY ISN'T ENOUGH INTEREST TO BOTHER THE ALBURTIS TAVERN WITH RESERVATIONS. BUT IF I GET A FEW PEOPLE BY WEDS AFTERNOON I WILL MAKE THEM!!!
