is there a specific location were they are mounted

When l bought our R model someone had installed the non dog type pole just forward of the turn signal light. They put them on so high they looked like goal posts! lt looked like the Bulldog on the hood had gotten a swift kick in the ass and was going for an extra three points!.............Hippy

Ok so, left to right standing. Barry is first, 2nd is Ricky, and l'm 4th........Hippy

We had a great time and are thinking of doing it again next year.......

Someone had a beautiful ex- Trash Can U-Model pulling a set of Trash Can pups at Macungie. They were pulling out late on Saturday and I didn't have my camera. 

And a set of CF pups with a FLC tractor. Which were headed to Buffalo NY after the show. Leaving late he may have had to wait for a good shot to the gate...........Hippy

Kids and me will be coming Saturday morning for our first time.    Is there a better place to park?  We will be coming in the pickup this year.    Thanks, hope to meet some of ya's.    Robert.  

Bob, We were there today and parked across Rt100 from the show at the fire station. lt cost $4.00 and it's a 5 min walk. Hope to see you there tomorrow.  Hippy...........

Usually high noon on Saturday at the Watt's Mack tent. Look for the leaderless group that looks like we are trying to figure out who fits what handle from the web site.

 

Good answer! lol  Thank you, Hippy

We will be there Fri and Sat. Don't know yet if Rick is taking his truck down. The MB is not going that far from home! lol

ls there a time and place that BMT members meet up?  This is our first time going to this show. Thanks, Hippy

l think everyone and his brother is building trailers now! Who is buying them all?!!.....Hippy

and got this load of trailers-

Mike, Nice looking Super M. A friend has a couple Farmalls and is busy with his club plowing up everyone's fields lately. He is on the local board of the Big Red Club. They have a weekend long show in Dublin, NH every year.......Hippy    

Bob and Jim, lt's now Central Auto Recyclers on Basin St off Hall St and there is still some old stuff in the yard. And Cohen Steel Supply is next door.......Hippy

Former Concord, NH Fire Department Mack sedan cab pumper, either 1946 or 47. Picture taken about 45 years ago with a Kodak "Instamatic camera. It was sitting in a salvage yard in Concord.

Looks like the picture was taken by the old Highway Hotel at exit 14 on 93

Rowdy, ls this the Craftsman model you retired?  We have a pair that we use to pull with, 18hp B&S and 3 speed HI/LO trans with 12" tires not cut (Turf Savers). This is the Stock class, 1,000lbs gross (tractor & driver) - 18hp max - 4mph max - any age tractor or driver. My wife has been class champion once, second once and third once. Not too bad for a $50.00 tractor off CL after draining the water out of the gas tank. As far as mine, l parked it, tired of getting my azz kicked by her and losing our bet. Having to do the dishes! lol ..........Hippy 

Jim, Very nice looking truck.  Hippy

 Someone needs to save this little sweet heart! l was told by my wife that it won't be me..lol...Hippy

HA! Someone bumped this one. Rick picked up the CF '93 Freightshaker in Evansville IN in January and has been working on it since then. lt was used by CF to pull triples from the mid-west to CA.  The '90 LN7000 Ford was a CF local truck he got from Black Creek NC back in 2010. And drove it home on Easter weekend at 48 mph!! We got the '70 MB Mack and a '58 Phalen 15T single axle low bed from Bluefield VA in Feb '15 and came home at 52 mph. He has one CF pup trailer as of this moment. We are headed to Peachbottom PA in the morning to get another CF trailer. Two weeks from now it's off to VT for a CF dolly and a look-a-like OVNT trailer for the MB.

41chevy...... Rick says the one in your post is For Sale in GA................   Hippy

A hand full of lava rocks. I think they just use them for landscaping, but they seem to be real popular.

 

My Ol' Man used them in his propane bbq grill. l still have a couple coffee cans full of them. They worked real good for what l remember......  Hippy

l turned one around in Durham NC a long time ago. l was driving a KW COE in the left lane at a merge. She came on from the ramp as l moved to the right. Caught her left rear with my bumper and turned her sideways across in front of me. The first time l saw her was when she came out the left side of the truck going backwards in the left lane. l remember saying " Damn that's pretty neat lady!"   with her looking up at me doing 55 mph door to door. l got a $25.00 ticket for Failure to Yield, the local cop was the one that said she was in my blind spot.......  Hippy

It's probably also a good thing that I don't have a lot of flat land suitable for storing old trucks, or then I'd REALLY be in trouble!

Funny how l have the same problem....But l was thinking of a sign at the end of the driveway. " FREE CLEAN FILL WANTED" ....Hippy

Hippy. Does that truck still have the sangamo speedometer clock in it.....also Mack had two different round ends with key way on it that slid into pencil gear it's best to have the metal ends as the newer plastic ends will round out.....Bobby j.

No tattle tail speedo in it now. lt did have one but someone cut the mount for it off. The hole for the cable is still there by the shifters. We are looking for one to replace it......  Hippy

Bob, Rick and l were thinking of you using JB Wield where the cable pulled out of the drive pin. l need to get into the MB's because it stopped working also..........  Hippy

When l was doing freight l had a customer that had one of these little guys. Started and ran as it should but was always working at it's weight limit.......  Hippy

Hope you don't have too many miles hauling sailboat fuel.  It doesn't pay well at all.

 

Pays about the same as a load of dispatcher brains. At least you don't have to tarp either one.......  Hippy
