Like said above you had a trip you will talk about for a long time.       Glad u got it home.   

I didn't crack any lines open on mine.    Truck sat for a year or so since it was last ran.  It does take a little throttle to get it to first start up.   

When I put new fuel lines from tank front with a spin on filter it only took me about 75-100 pumps to fill both filters (spin on and original canister) to have fuel returning to my tank.  It didn't pump hard but I could feel a slight drag while pumping.   This was on my B with a 673

I can get these made for 1200

Ouch!    I only gave 2500 for the truck.      Glad the "last one" is still out there though.     

I like the look of the long hood R's.    I don't think I ever saw one in person.  Not real common around here

You don't see many old freightliners for a reason. Before air ride cabs they shook themselves apart. Self destruct mode.

"Freightshaker"

On that style tractor protection valve the line on the right is the supply.   It has air if the truck has air.   The line in the center of the valve is the line that controls the service breaks.  It only has air when breaks are applied.                    

The first valve and switch is where the foot valve and trailer hand valve are combined which supplies trailer brakes through the center line going into the tractor protection valve.   That one is the brake light switch it only has air when either the pedal or hand valve are applied.  

what part  # or style do I need to look up for this style bumper?   Minus the fog lights?    I like this style and my be an option for my B.   thanks.  

Top pics are a dc-1 bendix double check valve with brake light switch.   "Just replaced mine".   And as stated the bottom pics appear to be an interesting configuration for a low air pressure switch.  

I think on the KW you have to switch the whole headlight bucket from side to side.  

What did you use as the rings to keep the paint off the tires?   I've done that before and works pretty good.   

I thought about spraying mine with silicone spray or something like that to try and soften it up some before I take it out.   

Good luck and keep us posted.   Mine is so brittle it cracks if you look at it funny

If you want something temporary just to what it's doing I've seen them already that just clamp on the #1 plug wire.   

Talk about the museum cought my interest. I was looking closer to the pic and noticed the name on the trailer.   I kinda got excited and thought a nice day trip for me and my kids.   Then I looked it up and realized the keystone museum isn't in the keystone state.    A little more then a day trip but still on the list.  

Poor pic but this ones partially opened.

Nice find. Does the end fold over? Is it hydraulic or is it light enough to lift over by hand?

The rear part of the deck tilts up then the tail folds out from underneath.    They are heavy built trailers all hydraulic operated.  

All of our company trucks come with switches behind the drivers seat.    On our freightliners the dumb thing is not all circuits are protected.   With my disconnect off and I turn my ignition switch on some of my marker lights and dash lights flash.   

I think it was at York, Pa last year too, if I remember right

I have my disconnect on the ground circuit.   My switch was $30 from a race car/speed shop.   It's in the ground wire from the battery to the frame.    I only run 2 batteries.      No help on maintainer.     

That's a nice calculator to use.  

Nice load of steamers.

No love for Bill's Trucking and Excavating?

Personally I'd like to see the kw next to it too  

No answers, but some ideas anyway.     Are you sucking an intake hose or boot shut starving it for air?    If your fuel lines are a few years old they where from your other motor.   Is the suction line big enough for the turbo motor during a pull?     When it acts up what does it do if you take your foot off the throttle for a few seconds then get back in it?   

I've had my B for 2 yrs now and been on here ever since.    I only live about 1 1/2 hr from Lititz and plan on making it next year.    Does it ever not rain for there show?
