same here in joisey Brocky. only raked and baled in late afternoon after a full day of sun drying it out. then straight to the barn. i remember when i was around 10 dad was the fire chief and a guy raked, baled, and stacked out in the field early morning to pick up later. well, it sat out in that field uncovered for around 3 weeks before it caught on fire from the inside. he had to hire a large excavator to rip the pile open to put the fire out..... it burned for 4-5 days before they finally got it all out. he lost something like 1,000 bales. 4 years later the same guy cleared another field and chipped all the trees into a large pile in the middle of the field. same thing. dad by now was town fire marshal and gave the guy a few tickets to get rid of the pile, or the town would and charge him for it. never got that far as it too caught on fore from the inside and he had to hire the large excavator again to tear it apart. that one too 4-5 days 4-5 days to put out.

MythBusters 18 Wheelers, Can Exploding Tires Kill?
tjc transport replied to 70mackMB's topic in Odds and Ends
i remember that episode and almost fell out of my chair laughing at it. when a tire lets go, the tread does not come off the tire like they sent it with their machine. when a cap of a tire peals off, it does not shoot out like shot from a cannon. it peels slowly over a few rotations. even if a tire blows out. you will have a much better chance of being seriously hurt by the glass from the window than buy a piece of tire when riding behind or alongside a truck. the only time i ever saw anyone seriously hurt or killed in 55 years driving was when the whole wheel came off and hit a car going the opposite direction, or a state worker on the side of the road. -

dont say. all the auction site shows is the first two letters of the bidders user name followed by 5 stars. only 18 bids, with 5 bidders. and three dropped out after it reached $5,000. -

Finally some DM progress
tjc transport replied to mowerman's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
did not mean it that way JOJO. the problem with HF units is when they break, parts are almost impossible to get. but properly maintained(which most do not do) they run for damn near forever. unfortunately the generac got the name generjunk because they are the "most selling generator in the world" mainly because when they will not run and people take to a repair shop, the shop says "it is not worth fixing. but i will sell you a new one" and the idiots buy another one just for it to break again and not be worth fixing. my newest Onan is 35 years old. and has 42.6 hours on it. the 15.0 JC is an 1984 build, and has 568 hours on it. the 10 kw is a 1956 build. no hour meter. it was the backup generator for the West Windsor State Police barracks until it closed in around 2005. it was purchased by the retiring station mechanic, who sold it to me in after he bought a larger set in oct 2012 the week before hurricane sandy hit. the newest of the little ones is the ryobi, and it alredy has close to 25 hours on it. -
Finally some DM progress
tjc transport replied to mowerman's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
i am partial to Onans. but the Listers cant be beat. i have an Onan 15kw air cooled natural gas unit, and a 17.5 KW water cooled diesel. plus a 5kw portable, an 10 kw gasoline burner, and 2 minis. a 1800 watt ryobi inverter set,, and a 2400 watt yamaha inverter set. whatever you do, steer clear of generac units. they are worse then harbor freight units. -

i am considering it, but i already have enough projects to probably last me 10 years longer than my lifetime. -
nope, no way. since i no longer push it around for money, i dont want it anywhere within 100 miles of the homestead.

i very rarely disagree with anything you post. i just stay neutral so others do not think i am a raving psychopathic lunatic living in a mental asylum....... like you are.. 🤪

people claim "swift justice" is cruel and unusual punishment. i say go one step farther.... like for rapist and pedophiles, take them to an old dilatated barn. clamp their private parts in a vice and cut the handle off. put a rusty butter knife on the table next to the vice holding their private parts and tell them " if you do the rite thing, you will be free to go." then close the door and set the barn on fire. when they "do the rite thing" and exit the barn, tell them they re free to go as they please..... when they turn away from you to walk away, shoot then in the back of the head. not cruel, and not painful as they never saw it coming.

great thinking, but there are too many people sucking on his @#$%# to protect him from ever being charged with anything. i personally would charge him and his whole family with treason and hung in the DC national mall along with gates, bloomberg, fowchi, obamas, clintons, and others

no they will not Bob. and both are perfect candidates for diesel swaps too.

i would not be surprised one bit if biden really did vote for Trump after what the demonrats did to him. and i also would not be surprised if he told kneepads to go pound salt and that he will not stand down to let her be president for a month.

plowing with a b81
tjc transport replied to ekennedy21's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
we have some cowboys here in jersey that plow 50-60mph too. and cant figure out why they loose cutting edges in the first hour of plowing. when i ran a plow crew of 7 trucks, we never went over 10 MPH. and would average a full winter out of cutting edges on all the trucks. -
If they don't like it, they can go get a job to pay for things. Or starve.
