  1. i know where there are two steam rollers, and at least 5 steam shovels. one of the sand pits 20 miles south of me was owned by a dinosaur that never got rid of anything. in a line up near the shop is every machine he ever bought starting from when he opened the pit in 1904. 3 miles away is the asphalt plant he built in 1924, and it is still in operation being run by his great grandson.
  2. Vlad, the three wheel rollers go all the way back to steam engine days.
  3. that does not sound like vandals to me. it sounds like someone needed parts, knew what you had, and decided to "go shopping"
  4. yea, work has a tendency to get in the way of getting things done.
  5. that is the prototype. the production version is going to have two crawler tracks on the front for better sidehill stability.
  6. do you have any interior pictures? how about glass, do you have any glass for it?
  7. what kind of price do yo have in mind?
  8. looks like the passenger side rocker panel is ready to fall off.
  9. no, 76 is a few years early. they did not even start the truckin nationals yet.
  10. my call was KHZ-0692 if i remember correctly. the house unit was a midland base unit with D-104 microphone, and a moonraker up top of the colonial strapped to the chimney
  11. best radio i ever had besides the Galaxies was a SBE sidebander II put a texas star 400 on top of it and i could talk 250 miles.
  12. i have one of those radios in my 78 F350 trailer special.
  13. i remember that race. it was the last one i worked at raceway park before i had my big wreck that broke my neck, forcing me to have to leave the police department. a lot of the other truckers gave me crap for bringing the 49 L-190 international tractor to show off because it had a gas engine and not a diesel.
  14. i really want to mess with the joisey troopers by hanging a "gun free zone" placard on the dash of the truck one of these days.
  15. found it on youtube. when i get one of the pacer idiots, i give them 2-3 minutes of riding along side me with my blinker on matching my speed as i slow down and speed up to get past them. after that if they do not move i gradually move over to give them the hint to move, or i will run them off the road. i had a trooper pull over a dipstick that paced me in the right lane for 2 miles with my right blinker on after i moved over to let the dipstick merge. . i was getting ready to run him off the road because the exit i needed to jump off at was 1/4 mile away when the trooper pulled him over and gave him a ticket for failure to merge. we went from 40 to 75 a few times in a 55 mph zone too.
  16. anyone have the video without having to be an optimum subscriber?
  17. at first i thought it was one of them pontoon style party boats, but on closer inspection i now think it is a big hot tub.
  18. agreed. you do not need to use all the gears. you can probably do fine by putting the aux trans in direct and just shifting the main trans.
  19. what is the trans combo, i see three sticks in it. i learned to drive on sorta the same truck, a 49 L190 single axle tractor with the big gas six cylinder and a quad box. took my road test in it, and drove that old girl as a daily driver until i was 19, when i bought a 65 dodge W-300
  20. it really depends on the area of the country you are in as to what the axle between the drives and cab is called. but technically it is a pusher, and when behind the drives it is called a tag.
  21. on mine it was the wire going into the plug that plugged into the panel. i unpinned it and re-soldered the ground wire into the pin, then put the pin back into the plug. solved the problem, and that was almost 2 years ago.
  22. probably still will run with fresh gas.
  23. ebay link is no good
