This may be off the wall but maybe some of you guys who farm could answer my question .Can you use a round baler to pick up windrows of leaves ?I was looking at the leaves they were blowing at are golf course and started wondering if there was an easier way than with a vac truck to pick them up?

any one who thinks these moonshiner are to lazy to work or to stupid  to get a job, should watch  that noonshiner show on tv . a couple of these guys have me rolling on the floor , 

Maybe someone remembers the old army ton &1/4 made on a J30 platform with a small cargo box like the one on the dodge built M37  I think 

This is one you don;t see vary much.

Where was that picture taken Barabo, or Indiana or Sarasota ,the last one I saw was on a newer Ford ,and before the Mack it was a Diamond T.

What kind of truck is that,it looks like a WWII Mack with a  hand made cab.

If the shift rods are broken and you have all the parts a decent welding shop or machine shop should be able to repair it or make a new one  some times they bind up from lack of lubrication and forcing a shift will bend the rod so they cant shift.

If you want to paint  the diamond plate and it is rusty you can use a scotch  bride type of pad  on a 4" grinder or even a smaller roloc pad on a die grinder . they also have a spot sand blaster that is self contained  and it also works well

If you are polishing chromed diamond plate break out the brown tripoli and start buffing with a machine and s stiff wheel ,finish with a finer compound  red or white and a softer wheel. If it is not chromed  paint it silver  or use one of the chrome paints

I wonder what it was used for that short bed makes it look like it was once a tractor ,but it sure looks nice and clean inside , wish you all the best. I used to drive a 688 long wheel base with a tag axle and a crane on it ,used to pull pup about ever other day,truck road like a caddy. never  spilled my coffee even when I left it on the deck .

Was the train in Ohio like just an engine and it went thur several dozen crossings before any one noticed there was no one in the cab ,but the police were able to board it as it was traveling slow compared to the unstoppable movie .

This is the wrong season but if you are here is the summer try to come on a weekend when the Rough and Tumble steam museum is open , is on US 30 west of Phila.  The Aug. reunion is one of the best ,good food and plenty of old operating machines  from lawn mowers to 450 hp pumping engines  and steam shovels and a few old mack trucks.

Have you been to Keystone  Tractor in Richmond Va , they have trucks and more tractors than I   knew were ever made

There is Gary Mahan's place he is some place in south Jersey I think ? maybe some on here can put you in contact with him.

Sure looks familiar , but I have never seen that truck , but I remember many block trucks and they were either A car's or Macks 

I just did a quick search of MCI bus 54,000 gross and height of 140.3/4"  that bus had KY on the roof or it was a shorter bus.It has a 16,000 payload  so the ltw weight is 38,000 + - .

Quantico museum has a restored liberty truck on display

Nothing has changed congressman get greased tax payer's get s#$&ed, along with the army.

The armies Mrap vehicles were first proto typed on Mack chassis at Fort Belvoir Va. I used to get  ar50 plate from  the dumptser for repairs in the boiler plant. They were building then across the street.

Can't you change the king pin on that trailer I though I had read someplace that they were interchangable .

Until this post I kinda figured  Musk was about one snort short of rehab  because of some of his crazy posts  . But I kind of feel the same way now , bridges fall down because the engineers  let the computers do the work, and what about banking ,the computer there could wipe out the worlds wealth  in a nano second . And what about all the security breachs of different information companies ,is it really the Russians or is it just a couple of computers wanting information .

Yes Hat city I grew up in Danbury , kiddies shows at the empress on Sat.  25 cents ,riding my bike to candlewood  to swim in the summer Barchi's hot dog stand on the corner, Ice skating at Rogers park ,Memorial  day parades and fireman's carnival , free pass to the Danbury  Fair 

I Know the place well Palace theater and the Empress, on Maim st and they were the Martha apartments over the Palace . don't know the year , It could have been a paid engine  but in my memory only one Volunteer  house had a mack and that was in the fifties . lot of  old Segrave  that were replaced with ford Cab engines in early 60's  . I would like to learn more  about that picture. In that time frame Danbury probably only had one or two paid engines and a ladder trucks the rest were volunteer houses maned by workers from the hat shops (which were wood framed and burned like a roman candle ,Mallory{now Stetson had the only concrete building } and is the only one left all the rest burned to the ground  in 50's and 60's )
