  1. i prefer the sound of a 71 or 92 series. the 53 series has a different note to the exhaust.
  2. model"T" is two pedals for trans. right pedal is brakes, center pedal is up neutral, down .reverse. left pedal is forward. down is low, center neutral, up high. to shift slowly step down on left as you throttle up . when moving throttle down and slowly let left pedal all the way up as you throttle up. \for reverse, left pedal in middle and pull parking brake half way. this hold in neutral. then slowly step down on center pedal as throttling up.
  3. if these liberal demonrats are so set on using kids as lab rats, WHY NOT USE THEIR OWN DAMN KIDS?
  4. i wonder what it has for power? looks like an eaton/fuller trans by the shift knob.
  5. we run the milling machine and large rollers on the lowboy, everything else usually goes on the 30 foot deck 20 ton talbert tag along trailer. the large paver is only 20k lbs, so that and a 5 ton roller or cat skid steer fit with no problems.
  6. we will be going that route pretty soon too. but i am still allowed 80k if i have the trailer on the back.
  7. since i run 80k lbs, i always run 115 to 120 lbs. under 100 lbs tires tend to blow out from sidewall scuff.
  8. latest report on this from last night is "no one knows where the live ammo came from, or that it was in the gun" but a few days ago the crew admitted to using that very same gun to shoot beer cans offset. what did they think they were shooting the cans with, blanks?
  9. I run 115-120 lbs in all tires. Once they get below 115, they get aired up to 120.
  10. if EVERYONE starts telling the politicians YOU WORK FOR US, WE DO NOT WORK FOR YOU they may just start to listen and stop the bull sheivec. people need to stop cowering to these askwhole politicians and say i have had enough, and will not take anymore. what are they going to do, lock every one up?
  11. only one shot was fired. for the age of the gun, i am thinking it was a 44 colt long. there are so many conflicting stories being reported it is very hard to know what is true or not. and i doubt we will ever hear the truth.
  12. my father was a postal inspector and assistant postmaster for 25 years, then postmaster for 15 years. he was also a policeman for 50 years. and a NRA firearms safety instructor for 30 years. which also made him the post office and police dept firearms safety instructor for close to 20 years. he always stressed if you pick up a weapon that is not yours, first thing to do is check to make sure it is not loaded. second thing: don't point a firearm at someone unless you plan on killing them. for hunter safety course, you had to hit a target suspended in a truck tire at 25 yards to pass and get your hunting license. that was for both gun, and bow and arrow. he was very proud of the fact not one of his well over 1000 "kids" were ever in a shooting incident. he quit the day he responded to an accidental shooting and found one of his firearm course "kids" dead from a 22 to the head. back in 1973. he was shooting birds out of a cellar window while standing on top of the washing machine with a bunch of others. the gun allegedly fell to the floor and discharged striking him in the head. since the others all had their story the same it was ruled an accident. dad did not believe the story though and said he was murdered. one of the other kids there has been in prison since 1979 for multiple homicides. he has no chance of parole until he is 199 years old.
  13. by the end of the night it will be all the guns fault, and there will be fresh rounds of all guns must be banned.
  14. that crack in the frame is nothing. i have repaired much worse.
  15. www.car-part.com there are a bunch of cabs listed in Virginia, from $200 to $700 with a part grade of A (good)
  16. 22 mag is spot on at 100 meters, the 45-70 is the same. i have not found a longer range yet. the Fort Dix 600 meter civilian range was closed to public use around 15 years ago. i was a big hit there 30 years ago with the 25-06. 1 inch groups at 600 meters. i also had a 17 remington that was very accurate, but the bullet was so light and fast a 2 mph wind would blow it off target at 600 meters. and if it hit a blade of grass 10 foot in front of whatever it was aimed at, the bullet would turn to dust. before my town assigned officers to a SWAT team, they used to raid my gun cabinet when they needed firepower. either for large caliber, or to "reach out and touch someone"
  17. a friend of mine in Mary land has an 89 4X4 that has been rode hard and put away wet every day of it's life. towing company off road recovery truck. the 4.9 six, ZF5 trans, transfer case, and axles all have 502,000 miles on them. he is in the process of redoing it. new cab and body, frame painted, and engine regasketed. nothing else is being done to the engine.
  18. dad passed away 6-27-2020 from kidney failure at 90 years old. someone in the E.R. while he was in there had corona, so he was listed as corona death. mom saw that on the death certificate and had kittens. called the police chief, AND sheriff and had it changed to kidney failure due to old age.
  19. They powered A LOT of onan gensets over the years.
  20. really Paul? you are probably a lot of things, but never a bore when talking trucks. 👍
  21. 5 years ago i was in my favorite gun shop and noticed a stainless "Evil Roy" Henry in 22 mag. yup, it followed me home. last spring, back in the same shop, i saw a LARGE Golden Boy Henry. asked "is that a 45-70?" when i got a yup, it followed me home too. fun to long distance shoot, but useless at close range. 22 mag on top with a 3X9 Simmons scope, 45-70 on bottom with a Malcolm 6X long scope.
