  1. According to wikipedia (about as trustworthy as a truck driver CB story- but the Wikipedia link did cite multiple credible sources in the bibliography) Lipe was swallowed up by Emerson Electric (Emerson Industrial Automation) and several clues lead me to believe it was to get the Rollway line of bearings. I have sent their customer support folks an email. Not holding my breath. In the meantime anyone have a 2772 fork laying around?
  2. OK thanks fellas, with your help we are 99% sure it's a Lipe Brown clutch, however they were bought out by someone.....Was it Fuller? Does anyone happen to know???
  3. Green: That's my old man.....LOL......
  4. Hmmmmm the label on the pear? peach? says California......when did you move?
  5. American Bosch or Robert Bosch? There is a difference and Mack used both!!!!
  6. An all-original Hayward.........If it is as in good condition as in the pictures and has been as well maintained as the guy says it is.....I say at LEAST $8K. Keep the Daytons. An original Hayward is rare enough, but a Hayward with Daytons is a special kind of rare.
  7. "Ok Sir, that was for one double-occupancy room, did you say you wanted pole dancing or non-pole dancing?"
  8. WTH do sammiches have to do with anything? Peanut butter and jelly, grille cheese or ham and cheese?
  9. Does Mack have the Brockway archives???
  10. Posting this for my father: A friend who does not do computers at all but does do antique busses (especially school busses) and one fire truck is looking for a part. His fire truck is built on a 1946 Brockway chassis. It has a 42BX Continental gas engine and a 5-speed Fuller transmission 5A3305P. He is unable to identify the clutch make and model. He needs a clutch fork. The fork has the number "2772" cast into it. My guess is that the fork is also a vendor part and not unique to Brockway. Any out there?
  11. Actually a better way for you to get there would be I476 to I78, get off at exit 67, drop ramps and allow a stowaway onto your flatbed, then out I78 to 81/83 south..............
  12. Huh?? LOL just kidding. However the others are right- there is some kind of nuance with this forum's software that does not get along with IE; not only with the quote function but also for picture uploading, etc. It works fine with Chrome. (everything works better when you chrome it........)
  13. I don't know about you guys but I love hearing about the Communism and Socialist policies of the Soviet Union back then from an insider.........Oh.....wait.....shit.....nevermind we're there now. My bad.
  14. No offense but why would you want to go backwards? If you swap it's usually a gasoline engine to an oil burner, not the other way around. And yes, there is an extremely high possibility that you will not only have to swap the clutch and transmission, but the rear as well. The driveline right now is set up for a max engine speed of 2100 (+/-) RPM's plus the higher torque of the oil burner.
  15. Couldnt afford lube oil and the workmans comp claims for the hearing loss, smashed fingers, and lung problems due to exhaust exposure.
  16. We can't break his fingers, he has to do that every time he drives The General, so that's not gonna work..................
  17. Uh huh. As if you needed to be associated with us. What else you got?
  18. Serious question: If anyone with a drop deck or a flat with ramps and the room, that is passing Hellertown Pa (Bethlehem) on I-78 would you be willing to pick up the FWD if I sprang for a meal or two for you and some fuel????
  19. I have a 2009 Kia Sedona van....union made in West Point, Georgia.
  20. Vinny is getting sooo big.....(sniff) don't they just grow up so fast????
  21. That's ok Mate, we know that because you are upside down on the bottom of the world, all the blood rushing into your head clouds your judgement.
  22. A green leaker in a Superdog....... It is un-holy. It is possessed. It is the Anti-Christ.
  23. Other dog.....put down the bottle and slowly back away from the computer keyboard.....
  24. "It's an Armenian message.........It means other dog sleeps with the fishes."
