  1. That last one looks like a 650 or even a 500, but a short little bugger.
  2. The only reason They are pushing for popular vote instead of electrol college is because Hillary lost, when Bill won with it it was fine ,then bush defeated Gore ,and now Trump beating the queen of mean Hillary . The want to be emperor of the world.
  3. Those little trucks probably only weigh about 10,000 Lbs , I would say the old mack should be able to do twice that ,depending on the boom size and winch ratings
  4. Open Border is only a tax payer funded vote buying scheme by the Dem's
  5. I remember seeing a few when I was a Kid ,all single rear axle older Macks , Autocars and a few Internationlas and the little short dump body.I loved a tractor with a winch on it.
  6. There are some strange sites at bike rallies ! sure hope that plane wasn't a 737 or you had better get out of it''s way when it comes down
  7. Virginia used to be a nice place to live until the liberials and the never Trumpers took over ,Town seems to run like a housing association where some minnie god is trying to use his power as a penis extension
  8. sell to developers and let the wayward town suffer and have to pay for new schools every year to make up for the thousands of new kids, .then the police dept will have to be enlarged as well as the Fire Dept .And now almost 20 years after the 9/11 attacks the fed is not quite as free with dolling out the cash.
  9. Where was that hobby shop.I used to go to two different ones in Richmond and one in Petersburg.
  10. I don't see a way to move the loaded rack with a forklift ,so I guess the truck behind the rack will not be running for at least another twenty years.
  11. What is that thing on the top,is it a second floor or a collapsed shed roof ?
  12. Did he call you an old jigger, the whipper snapper ,and did he call your truck and old beast? I don't under stand Australian to good ,it is only a language I learned from two weeks in sydney back in 1969
  13. Interesting to say the least I wonder what year that was, Because I spied the solid wheel spoked wagon chassis on the rack to the left and the little sleigh peaking out from behind the big MACK. and what looks like a fire pumper to the right and maybe a Vicker tractor in the far back.Must be a museum of sorts.
  14. I love these old photo's ,so much history in the back ground alone .Did anyone that note of the peoples hospital across the street,looks like a place where nightmares are made compared to today.
  15. Like Hatcity I lived in Danbury ,And with the state fair long gone Danbury is a keep going nothing to see here kind of place . But if you are going to Vermont Then Take Rt 7 north out of Danbury and see the covered bridges in Kent and Cornwall. There is a great resturant in Kent .Take the time to ride the train along the river At North Cannan before entering Mass.on the way to Vermont.if you want to take the coast road go to Mistic seaport and then on to Essex (steam trains and oldest city)with a sea port Jog up the river to Tour the Gillette Castle in East Hadam and ride the ferry before going east to Cape code. But if you are into State Fair The BIG E in west Springfield Mass is the place to be in the fall find a hotel in Enfield Ct (easiest way to fair) Book Soon.
  16. I wonder what that cantraption is on the back of the truck and did you notice the size of the wet line tank ,it must be 150 gals.
  17. You forgot that little B tucked in behind the steel nose DM
  18. Is that the one Joeseph equipement had listed for ever. I have seen several like it listed with different engines on varies truck sale pages
  19. I guess that machine was not intended for jungle busting or forestery work .because that ladder would not last past the first big tree
  20. When I was a kid I remember going with my dad to a neighbors place to restack all the hay bales in his barn when they were heating up , they were old fashion square bails and were up over a hundred degrees when we pulled them apart and put an air gap between them all. Later in college I worked for Checker board and they sold bailed hay as well as bagged feed .It was on a street with old wooden mill buildings and one night the building next door went up in flames need less to say the next day we were taking all the hay to another place , our building was filled with grain dust and if it caught fire would have exploded. About two years ago saw a truck load of round bails go up on I95 in Springfield Va. They pulled the tractor of and the FD started pumping water ,called towing company who brought two roll offs and bobcats and they started pulling burning bails off. Don't know if it self combusted or was ignited by a thrown cigarette.
  21. Yea it seem's like a bum deal you buy a thousand dollar washer and It doesn't work from the get go.One of the reasons Sears is disappearing is because of this kind of crap , drove all the loyal customers away .
  22. Am I missing something here isn't less than 48 hr from fri to sat. or did they mean 48 minutes
  23. Looks kind of like a UNIT shovel from back in the day.
  24. Bucyrus made one in the early 1950 based on the old H1 hydroscope crane ,but that old hopto looks good for it's age
  25. If that is a picture of the truck you want the out riggers are on it now just manual not the hydraulic we have become use to. The Army did a lot of things with manpower.
