  1. Joey I use Postimage, I can't remember who told me about it on here But I had the same problem as you, anyway I now up load the photo to Post image and the click on direct link I think it is Copy the link Then click on other media at the bottom of the post you are writing Then click on "insert image from existing ULR" The image appears on the post and away you go Took some trial and era for me to work it out but I got there and it is pretty simple now https://postimages.org/ Paul
  2. Thats an amazing story and pieces of history to go with it, thank you for sharing I know there is probably lots of questions I should ask but I know nothing at all about planes or helicopters Paul
  3. So two B triples joined together then Paul
  4. Wow, I didn't know there was such a item, cpuld you share a photo please Paul
  5. Well yes and no Diamond Reo brand as sold in Australia today, not sure if it even is now are a Chinese built jigger with a Diamond Reo badge As to T Line which is the company I think you are referring to, not to my knowledge Paul
  6. From my brothers life changing event Paul
  7. Well my days are quite that exciting Air start leaks Paul
  8. I have seen blokes heat things up pretty hot to get them to move, I am always concerned it might really damage something Paul
  9. A couple of likely lads right there Paul
  10. First bin is on the chassis of the prime mover (body truck), then a tri dolly, then b double,another dolly and a b tripple by the looks of it, dunno Im getting cross eyed as we get towards the rear Paul
  11. I have never had anything like that happen to me yet I have always used a gear puller with the hooks in were the uni goes on the yoke, similar result, occasionally I have stretched the yoke and had to replace it I guess when they are stuck they are stuck and something has gotta give, we just hope they give in the right spot Paul
  12. As long as it is not my butt crack, people would be having night mares for years after seeing that 😘 Paul
  13. Crack, what crack Gotta remember seed this wild beast 320 unbridled horse power, takes a lot to harness that much energy Paul
  14. My brother has in recent times finally after many many decades had a life changing event happen, he has bought a Mack, think it is 1984 build His is a ex army (Australian Army) 6x6 and it has 44 rears and has full cross locks on all three axles from new as well as inter axle powerdivider lock and transfer case lock It is standard from Mack Australia full time 6x6 fully locking 6x6 So I'm guessing that if we had it in Australia then they are definitely available else were as we really got the scrapings from the bottom of the barrel compared to the states Paul
  15. So do the other carriers fit in ? As in the 92/93 fit the 112/113's axle housings Im thinking but have no idea the spider gears would have to be changed tp suit bigger axles I know notjing about this stuff at all so any help is helpful Paul
  16. I gather thats the same for 112/113 and so on Do you have the ratios for the 200 series carriers Joey ? I have no idea were I'll find spare carriers for 58's in Australia, first I need to work out what ratio I'm looking for Paul
  17. Yeah thats all I found Keep us updated on when were and how to vote Paul
  18. Clean air, not just from dirt but also from turbulance from the truck moving thru the air On cab over trucks of this vintage it was worked that the gap between the cab and trailer was under vacuum when traveling fast This sucked dirt in but also meant the engine was running like it would on high mountain Paul
  19. From a email from Joey yesterday I noticed in the second picture down it says that 200 & 201 can be used in 50 and 58,000 pound axles What ratios are there for these And is 200 for 50,000 pound and 201 for 58,000 pound? Paul
  20. Dunno,there's lots can be done without breaking the law and waving a gun about Look at the looney left, write letters, attend town meetings, lobby your officials All these clowns are working for you and controlling your destiny Dunno to me you need to take the bull by the horns and wrestle it to the ground The looney left did, it has taken them 40 years to make this mess so I would expect it will take 40 years to correct it We are all masters of our masters of our own destiny If it was me I wouldn't give up on my country that gave me eveything As the saying goes "some times you gotta risk it to get the biscuit" Paul
  21. Tjc I guess you have answered the question and were you stand Paul
  22. Well I can't tell you what everyone thinks, I can tell you something I heard on the radio driving along today in my ute Apparently Australia along with other countries is involved in air lifting urgent supplies of baby formula to the States at the moment How can this be, we are talking big jet loads of baby formula to the States How can people sit by and watch their country come to this ? I have mentioned before how I listen to Paul Harvey, anyway he has a speech I guess I could call it about the founding fathers of the US You lot need to listen to it and I mean really listen to it, your founding fathers were by the standards of the day really well off and had nothing to gain and everything to loose They risked it all and most lost it all for their new country, your country Dunno you blokes carry on about your rights and guns and so on yet most dont appear to have the back bone to risk it all for their country Our greatest generation, your country and mine risked it all for their country and countries of others they would never see 1 in 12 Americans served in WW2, 1 in 7 Australians served WW2 These figures are astounding to me Have we all become sooks and winges and are just full of excuses ? Only we can answer that question for each of us Are we worthy of living in our respective countries ? Are we so selfish that we dont want to risk it for something bigger than ourselves Maybe Paul Harvey is right, maybe our countries are gunna be whipped from within Are we sitting back allowing this to happen and just making excuses ? Dunno, only each of us can answer this ourselves Baby formula getting airlifted from the other side of the world, wake up America you blokes have run off the road and are well and truely in the side cut with foot still hard on accelerator pedal Paul
  23. So had a look at a trailer at my old (float) low loader last night and it doesn't have maxi's and it has this style valve signal goes in the top hole you can see Pretty sure this screws straight to the air tank How ever the air supply tees off on the way past at the tank and goes in the lower of the two holes A better diagram here These are the most common type that I have seen and used in Australia There is another type I have used as well Let me know if you need more or better information and I'll try and help Paul
  24. So 112/113 carriers, were these used in only 58's or were they used in 44's as well ? Paul
  25. Okay one more short clip of flood crossings in cool looking trucks Have a great day everyone Paul
