Agreed with hurstscrambler, Without the entire story one can skew the numbers to support and argument. I know of guys on the floor at ford that were making almost double what I make with a college engineering degree. Some times unions end up being greedy and shooting themselves in the foot. I can't blame ford for moving production to mexico when every time they turn around the union is demanding a pay raise. What will the union do once all production has moved and their is zero manufacturing in the US and thus no working union members to support the "union reps" and associated bureaucracy. That will be an interesting day.

Heating a 40x60 shop with 16 ft ceilings will cost regardless of radiant or forced air. I am curious what his bills are with forced air. Mainly insulate, insulate, insulate. Best use of any money in a new shop. If possible do the insides of the walls and ceiling in sheet plastic before insulating to stop any cold air from blowing in and hot air from leaking out. You won't believe the difference 8mil plastic can make all by its self.

Do you have couple of those as I am looking for one as well for my f-model? My engine already has the spin on coolant filter so I am just in need of the oil filter bracket.

I can't emphasize the importance of insulating under the slab ( I am talking inches of insulation) if you leave it out you had better be prepared for high heat bills. You want to completely isolate the slab from the ground with insulation on the bottom and sides. Its a little late to try and add it after the slab is poured. A poorly planed radiant system is nothing but a waste of money and will never reach its desired efficiency or heat output.

original exhaust

No, I don't have any mufflers on it. It had just a straight stack on it when I got it. Just sitting in the yard idling it is about the same if not quieter than my GMC's 8.2 diesel that has a huge muffler and an under the box exhaust exit. Once I get it on the road (a bit of work to do on it first) I'll find out how loud the dual larger stacks are.

Just curious as I have 4.5" dual stacks I just put on to replace the original 4" single stack. I figured if once I got it on the road it was to loud I will just drop in a set of insert mufflers. I assume that those would meet the requirements?

Thanks Superdog, the only thing the guy ever hauled on it was a very small dozer, it has had an easy life. Thomastractorsvc, I can only hope mine turn out half as nice as yours and yes all new 8.25r15 of respectable load rating are in the plans. One other question is on decking. -Should the wood be the tallest surface on the bed or should it be flush with the metal framing. -I have been debating between treated yellow pine and some sort of oak, what is the opinion? (no I am not using apitong). Purely a hobby truck and trailer but I do want it to last.

What law was passed banning straight pipes? What states does it affect?

True so with the current tires I have 18,080 capacity. But what percentage of a load is carried by the tractor?

Just picked this up the other day but there is no load rating on the only plate in it. What is the opinion on its capacity? Details: made by: Transport Trailers Inc. Cedar Rapids Iowa tires: 8.25 r15 Pictures:

Things to consider about infloor raidiant: Pros: -extremely comfortable for working on the floor -anything touching the floor is warm (toasty wrenches) -any winter time slush and ice melts quickly -most energy efficent as it puts the heat where you are not 14 ft about your head -huge thermal mass in the concrete (maintains constant temp) -no dust blowing around -even heat across the shop Cons: -not instant at raising building temperature (best for shops that are continunally heated) -requires some form of antifreeze mix if there is even a chance the heat coud go out

As I recall it was about couple grand but I may be wrong. Give him a call and ask he is a decent guy to talk to.

Ok, proper set up and brakes and no GMC.

Run the radiant heat. It isnt that expensive and will be much more comfortable than a regular furnace. Just put down couple inches of insulation under and around your slab before you pour it. Regardless of the idea that you won't loose heat to the ground which is b.s. insulated the slab or you WILL be heating the ground and that is wasted $$. Having the floor warm is something you will never regret. Simply run 1/2 inch pex in 300 ft loops on about a 8 inch spacing, hook to your choice of hot water source and pump. My house is entirely radiant as is my buddies 40x60 shop and attached garage. I wouldn't trade it for all the forced air furnaces in the world.

This set up was only a one time use just to get the trailer home over 99% dirt roads. Never even got over 30 mph . The hitch was a 15,000 lb truck mount bolted to c channel fitted in the beds frame rails and through bolted. Th f model is the new trailers actual intended power source.

Well I must be lucky cause I snuck out 60 miles grabbed the trailer and snuck back. Hard to miss this rig

Are they focused on weigh stations and major highways or are they out on the tiny two lane roads in the middle of no where search for the poor unlucky fellow? Being bright orange probably doesnt help much. But it is under 26,000 GVW , 8.2 diesel, five speed but has hydraulic brakes. No names or number on doors of any kind. It maxes out at 45-50 mph (low geared) so it lives on back country two lanes. Here is the truck.

Does the DOT target non commercial vehicles during road check week? I am ask because I have a 30 foot fifth wheel flat bed to go pick up 60 miles from home. Will I be hassled if I take my log farm plated non commercial GMC C60 to go and pick it up?

All ways have used Napa filters and never an issue. I stock up once a year from http://www.fleetfilter.com as the Napa a filters are considerable cheaper from there. I get filters for everything from my jeep to the F-model. They also sell Baldwin and luber-finer. Example fuel filter wix 3419 is $29.70 at my local Napa and is $16.50 from www.fleetfilter.com. I stock up and come out much cheaper even with shipping for the exact same filter.
