There’s still quite a few running around in my area of central Pa. 

The one I remember looked just like a hand powered pump pallet jack. I think it was grey in color and had a cat on it i think. I don’t have a forklift but I do have several jacks I can use to make one.   I want it to be semi portable 

Somewhere I saw a picture of a heavy duty engine stand that looked similar to a pallet jack. Does anyone have one or a picture? I’m looking to build one.

Sad

One of my wife's friends was complaining that she had to pay her ex husband alimony and they are both successful lawyers

 

 

Guess he’s a little better lawyer. 

If the "jake" basically opens the exhaust valves in the compression stroke letting the compression out.  Wouldn't adding an exhaust break wich holds exhaust in the motor totally counter act the functions of the "jake" brake?   

I'd love to buy a property like that.     I know where the kids and I would be spending our free time.   Be like Christmas every time we'd be there.  

How close you looking?   I'm about 1 hour south.

Here's a nice one from the intertubes.

This one was at gerharts show 2 years ago.   Believe someone said is was from Canada.   I didn't look at the plate.   

I could imagine a few of them running around a jobsite could get pretty hectic.

Would take the sting outta a tow bill if it was that unit towing you.

Unless you where driving brand X that it was pulling. 

A guy from upstate Ny on here bought mine with a 4.62 ratio, s-cam brakes, & 22" spokes.  I was very happy when he insisted on giving  me $350 when I only told him $300.   

Very neat, thanks!   It looks like a frameless today without the scope.  

Ok, young pup here.     What is a cable pull dump trailer?

Every time I go on a road trip, I swear that people already have these cars!

I think they took them out around the same time as the turnsignal.   

Looks like  fun.   Would be a neat truck to make a "rat rod" out of.   

That's a great day!   I remember driving mine the first time with no fenders and stuff.

Love the stance and look of it.    It does look on the rough side, but it would definatly look really good on the road.

So wot twaz the deal with the concave cab

so much trouble to save a cupla inches

I think it was a mistake, and they welded it together inside out.   Atleast I'd like to cut mine out, flip it around, and put it back together.

I was talking to a guy who used to live in PA and he told me when he was a kid the rivers would be orange. It’s certainly not like that now. I’m quite certain it’s not because the EPA stepped up and cleaned it.

I agree with you on that.   I live on the susquhanna river about 15 miles south of where the the north and west branches join.   Thes west branch came from tye mountains and up into ny.   The north branch came from the coal regions.  When I was a kid and we went fishing you had to go to the other side of the river because it was cleaner.   Now our side is the cleaner side wich is mostly north branch water from the coal region.    We take our kids out kayaking and the water is beautiful, but there's no way I want to drink it.

Agree- I would think if this guy got stopped or worse yet was in an accident the lawyers would be looking for everyone connected with this deal. Maybe benefit of the doubt?  He did not want to hold up truck in back of him so threw quicky straps over while he pulled out to yard to properly chain down?

I was thinking that too, but that being said.    I never hauled steel but crew up with my dad pulling a covered wagon for decades.   My teachings would of been to put 2 coil racks on the floor to hold 2 oak 4x4's in place.   The coil would then sit on the 2 4x4's and not actually touch the trailer floor.   

Don't people use coil racks and 4x4's?    I'm surprised they left him out of the mill.  

Little different then what you normally see the guys up north drag race up the hill.   

I like how the sexy B with the hydraulic boom has the $ sign on the grill.

Garage that full already that your  misplacing stuff?

Its 5 or 6.   I found it right before gerharts show in Lititz this past year.   I don't have any  brackets or clamps between the back 4 lines, and I think the one actually ran over the valve cover. So I know stuffs not right.    I will double check and see if I can find some type of # tomorrow.
