Technology can drive me bananas at times, but there would be no forum without it Looking much cleaner now Paul -
So these axles have top mounted centers ? Or is this the Volvo equivalent ? Certainly wont find many people that have anything bad to say about a Mack rear end Camel back springs are rough and tough but I'm pretty sure Mack stopped these a few years ago A photo of the axles may help get some better answers, I have never heard of a 46,000 lb Mack backend Paul

Well done Joey, you know what they say "happy wife hap.........." Oh never mind, there is no such thing as a happy wife, just periods of where "status quo" is less turbulent ha ha ha Looking good Joey Well had my mate Mal and his cook "the diff" around for BBQ Mal inforns me I'm baling hay for him Tuesday night, that's getting ambitious so I best do a pre start, checked the oil and water in the old Inter, some jumper leads and first piston to the top "brrrrrm, burble burble burble" purrs like a kitten, the Nuess motors are one of the best motors ever made, made in Germany in a town called Nuess Open the baler door, close the door, start the PTO, baler runs, some air in the tyres and I announce, "pre season inspection done" Apart from a clean and a good grease I think it's good to go No bad for a 40 year old tractor Hay fever is going great guns this year, sheep are lambing, we have it all going on at the moment And then the house renovations can't be stopped as the kitchen/dinning room has to be done for Christmas and and and, I'm getting exhausted just typing this out, phew Paul -

25% import tariff on imported heavy trucks - effective October 1st
mrsmackpaul replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
At least in Australia, back when we had tarriffs and we all worked at building our country We had very little crime Drug use almost didn't exist Obesity virtually was none existent We only had two genders Nearly everyone was married We believed in working hard and doing whats right Been on welfare had a stigma to it and we did our very best to never be on welfare Anyway work does call so best bugger off to work Paul -
25% import tariff on imported heavy trucks - effective October 1st
mrsmackpaul replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
The best thing about tarriffs are people then get to choose how much tax they pay Support your countries industries and pay less tax, support oversees companies and pay a more tax The nay sayers will waffle on with a lot of waffle and blame unions and energy costs and what ever else they can think of But the truth is very different, more people buying and supporting local companies means more workers working paying income tax which means there's less people on handouts, less people sitting around doing nothing, because people are no longer sitting on their backside doing nothing, they are healthier Because people are healthier and now have a purpose to life they won't be turning to drugs which means less crime So far I can't think of one reason tarriffs are bad or any negative at all One thing I do know for sure is if driving along a road and turn left instead of right The longer you go left for with your head up your bum trying to convince yourself that your going the wrong way the further it is once you do turn around to get bacl to were you last heading the right way We can keep on running along with our head up our bums B.S.ing to our selves that everything is okay or we can at least stop and look about and ask ourselves "just how the hell did we end up here ?" Anyway, off my soap box and off to work for me Paul -

And how did the car wash enjoy your greasy mess ? I tried this once with a inline 671 in the back of my ute Not enough heat or power maybe both to clean a very very dirty 2 stroke GM I had black freckles all over me and and the ute ended up a mess and the motor still wasn't clean I decided my future love affair with the 671 was waining very quickly ha ha ha ha Paul
