1958 F.W.D.

Thats not the one. But I believe we have located and ordered the correct one. Now I will be able to tell how many RPM's this piece of shit is turning.

Gents, I am in need of Ford P/N D4AF 9E731. Ford used it as an input sensor for their early cruise control systems, however in this application, Farrar used it as an electronic sending unit for their electric tachometers on a 671 Detroit Diesel. Ford Dealers and Associated Truck Parts both came up with "NFG/Discontinued" on that part number, Anyone have any laying around (was on a Hahn firetruck if that helps....) or can you point me in a good direction? Any and all leads appreciated,

In the Trans Am or the KW?

Lemme get this straight. You want me to transport 400 cases of Yeungling beer from Pottstown to Middletown NY in 2 hours......You do know that's bootlegging, right?

See.....Your mother was right...."You'll go blind!"

I'll facebook message Barry and say "WTF?"

UPDATE 02/28/2016: We took advantage of an extremely rare warm day here in Eastern Pa- temps got up into the low 60's and everyone had cabin fever because it seems like it has rained pretty much every day for the last 2 weeks. Wait, it HAS rained every day for the last 2 weeks. So Small and Large and I got up at 0600 this morning and went and got the Hahn this morning from the double-secret probation storage place and brought it home. I borrowed the neighbor's pressure washer, and we knocked off the tree sap, crap, grime, dirt and muck that caked on the truck as it sat outside for the last 5-plus years. We also took a scraper to a lot of rust cakes inside of the compartments, and then vacuumed all that out. Then we wire-brushed the cab floor (all the gray paint that I painted in there 15-20 years ago was flaking bad.....) and vacuumed that out. Then we removed the wood from the hosebeds, and stashed that in the garage for further evaluation- Sand and stain/varnish or total replacement???? The truck is far from it's former glory but she is beginning to look respectable once again. She looks 1000% better than she did at 0800 this morning. Large worked his balls off today. Extra Small even joined in on the action The wood slats from the hosebed and compartments And finally, a split image that a buddy put together- top pic is actually seen farther back in this thread, from around Thanksgiving- sitting at the former owner's place in the exact spot she sat for 5+ years looking forgotten and sad. Bottom pic is this afternoon. The pic does no justice- she looks 1000% better.

As long as I don't transport live farm animals across state lines. Or blow up dolls.

Bitch. Please. Do you honestly thing you can keep ME under control?

Not a cool thing to do. What happens if you get into a wreck and they deny coverage? And you are left hanging to dry for not only your costs but the costs of the other guy(s) because YOU were at fault?

Never heard this. Please cite the relevant Pa. motor vehicle code.

When you hire scumbags....you get.........wait for it.........wait for it.......wait for it............. ....................scumbags! Like the article said.....Who do you want representing you out there and interacting with the customers- Mr. William Beendrivinglongtime who is clean-shaven, dressed neatly wearing work boots, gets out of the tractor with a pair of gloves and the documents on a clipboard and says "what door would you like me to back into, and what can I do to help unload?"........, or do you want Habeeb wearing shorts and flip flops and demands that the customer unload him immediately?

JC Taylor has always been outstanding to me, but I have recently heard through the grapevine that they will no longer insure trailers. Give them a call, if that is false and they will do it, go with them, I am confident you will be thrilled with both their service and rates.

Kansas Farmer you want to adopt me, don't you???

I for one think that a businessman would be rather refreshing as opposed to a professional politician for once. How much worse could he do than any of the other idiots up for nomination (on either side of the aisle?) That being said.....Trump is a racist, narcicisstic, egotistical prick and I don't trust him farther than I can throw him.

Carl, good point. I forget which year it was....At Macungie.....the crankcase of one of Mike Yarnall's rigs (with an electric pump) got filled with gasoline when someone errantly turned on the wrong switch. I've been disconnecting my battery terminals at Macungie or any other long-term show for this very reason.

"Admit nothing. Deny everything. Demand proof." Besides she told me she was 18.

What did you use to determine this particular brand/model of pump? I ask because if you use a high pressure, low-volume pump you will starve that 707. I know several folks who converted 817G Waukeshas to electric and used high pressure pumps that starved the engine. I also had the same issue with the mechanical pump on my 140GZ(F554G) Waukesha- ethanol ate away the diaphragm. It is a rare Delco-Remy pump made exclusively for Waukesha....So when I called around to find a diaphragm, I started to sweat when folks were laughing at me. Converted to an electric Airtex (low pressure, high volume) pump. Try not to run ethanol-formulated fuel in that thing at all. If you HAVE to due to lack of eth-free fuels, make absolutely certain that you treat it with ethanol-formula STA-BIL (the green stuff) and never, ever keep it in your tank longer than 2-3 months. Only fill up enough that you will burn off in that time frame. www.pure-gas.org List of fuel stations with ethanol free fuel. DO NOT RUN HIGH OCTANE OR RACING FUELS. You risk burning valve seats.

If you come to town again and want to do a BMT meet up, hit me up, I only live about 20 minutes away.

Don't laugh.....but not FDNY......

EMT? Holy crap! I took that shit 25 years ago! Letting that license lapse was the best favor I ever did for myself

Ok. I *may* know the whereabouts of a rebuild kit for the xfer valve. If I can dig it up, it may accidentally fall into a box with your name and mailing address on it, which may then accidentally fall into a mailbox. If it accidentally appears at your house, you don't know where it came from.

Hey.....I have not forgotten about you. I have had my nose buried pretty deep into code books the last 2 and a half weeks to study for a certification exam (which I took and passed on Friday thank god......) I am asking around about that and the 2.5" inlet plug caps. Also I need a pic of the rod guide for the front suction butterfly control handle.

From what I saw when I was in and out of there- Plus other PECO/Excelon facilities like Peach Bottom, the Conowingo Dam power plant and the Cromby coal fired plant in Phoenixville Pa.....I believe every word of it!!
