  1. Just a box blade with cutting edges facing forwards and rear. I'm so sick of winter I took the blower off. I'm sure I'll pay for it this week. LOL
  2. What area is that BobWhite?
  3. Happy Easter everyone. I hear ya on the getting ready for summer Mowerman. Graded the driveway today, then sat on the deck and wished this damn snow would go away already.
  4. No worries! That is 100 times more reliable than ANY new truck you can buy today, LOL
  5. Happy Birthday Vlad. Best wishes.
  6. That B Model dump would be awesome restored all original like that!
  7. Unreal. Yet around here there are still dummies happy to go to work for $70 per hour. Don't seem to be any end to this BS. Same with tractors. On the first of the new year Kubota prices in Canada went up 6 to 10 thousand dollars on every model even though they had NO changes or updates at all. I was in the process of buying an M7060 cab for 66 grand and on the first it went to 72,614 so I cancelled. I'll keep all the stuff I currently have.
  8. Well, last one in 2020, loaded Star 4900 tri-axle dump was $240,000 Canadian. I'm sure they are more than that now post covid. I went to work at a mine after I quit trucking and they got me a new T880 2 years ago for a float tractor. Daycab, no sun visor, no radio, no extra gauges, plain as you could get and they paid $190,000 tax in for it. I think they got ripped off, LOL I read an article a while back from International and they were predicting the death of the owner operator with the next round of emissions laws. They were predicting a tractor will be approaching 280 to 300,000.
  9. Here's two Ontario Canada specs. White one has a steering lift axle and black is a Simard twin steer conversion.
  10. Happy birthday Other dog! I'll have a Crown Royal for ya.
  11. The one that REALLY angers me is you can't even say drag race any more or everyone thinks you are in to cross dressing f@&s NHRA should have sued them all.
  12. I can top you all, LOL Have you ever heard of a "furry"? Apparently some people put on cat ears and tails and think they are cats. Well, the Rainbow District School Board (already sounds gay) in Sudbury Ontario was recently on the news because they put LITTER BOXES in the bathrooms of their schools to accommodate the furries. Send the bomb, I'm done on this world. But interestingly, they banned a parent from coming into the school because she has a registered certified service dog. Unreal.
  13. I saw a farm model builder on Shark Farmer show and he is 3D printing a lot of his tractors and scenery now. That would be cool if more people started doing that. They can make some pretty detailed stuff.
  14. Yes I meant gretta. But yes you can also include Justin Castro Junior. P.S. I am a member of PETA. People Eating Tasty Animals.
  15. Sorry, can't help you with that. But awesome pictures! Thanks for posting.
  16. In the famous words of Buford T. Justice...."I'm gunna kick your momma in the BEEP"
  17. And don't get me started on that little lunatic!!! Another example of why not all people should be allowed to reproduce.
  18. It just gives quicker throttle response and gets it on the turbo faster. I ran an 88 R model with an E6 350, 15 speed and it was a tri-axle dup truck with tri-axle pony. We gross 140,000 here with that combo, max legal in Ontario. With our emissions laws and testing, they had mine shimmed so bad to pass, like I said it was gutless. Big time. But by plugging it off, and later plumbing through the air switch, it made it pull again with those weights because as soon as you got on the throttle it would get up to boost quicker. Yes it would give a puff of black smoke, but not too bad because I didn't just mash it to the floor.
  19. I just looked at the pics. I like how it has "new tires" but it's missing a roof, firewall and floor. And all for 22 grand!! LOL
  20. Here ya go Swishy. https://www.mecum.com/lots/GA0323-554713/1934-kenworth-125-2-ton-truck/
  21. I see one of Tyrone Malone's race trucks there too!
  22. It sure did! And that K100 was really nice looking too. https://www.mecum.com/lots/GA0323-554703/1973-kenworth-k125-cabover/
  23. I love that house mover's personality and comments....especially where he says "I took an extra day just so you think you were getting a better deal on the price." LOL
  24. That's cool Paul. You know, I once had a conversation about that with my now deceased Australian friend. I once asked him what the most popular make of trucks were back in the day over there and he said the same thing.....lots of White's and Ford's. He was an International guy himself.
  25. White was just like Allis Chalmers and International Harvester. They each made everything from trucks, tractors, heavy equipment to home appliances, power generation, crushers, mills, you name it. EVERYTHING. IH even had it's own town here in Ontario. Their own employee housing, schools, churches, fire department. It's amazing what some bad management can do to a once giant, that would think would be unstoppable.
