  1. If you had your starter like i did i got a total rebuid kit for cheap and i replaced the seleniod my Bendix was good so i did it for less than 100.00$
  2. I was told some or a lot have separate generators that is powered by the wheels?
  3. When i was about 12 i rode a train from pa. down to around Tulsa and back again i will say i will always remember it as a great adventure. We have steamtown about 15 miles from my house just fantastic to see . there is a line in Jim thorp and the Strasburg railroad. Great places for rail buffs.
  4. Can you see these kids that ride today trying to get used to a fool clutch and remember indian and Harley worked backwards? And kicking over a mag ign. sportster or a 441 victor.
  5. Boy would i like to have that engine but i would't be able to rebuild it money wise. I used to work on that style engines in 2 autocars for a local coal company
  6. I wore redwings for to many years to remember then they discontinued the kind i always bought so i tried something different from red wing cheaply made and i ended up going to chippawa boots i think they are ok
  7. When i was a kid i knew what an apple tree switch felt like and i was first in line at a paddling by a 3 ft. yardstick. I really got what i deserved and i didn't end up hating my mother and grandmother. Today i look back and they were just doing their best to get me on the right track in life, I do think those video games that is all over the place are a little over the top but in my youth i loved roadrunner and bugsbunny's elmer fud so maybe i'm full of crap?
  8. My b model has a 75 mile an hour paint job, at dusk on a really foggy day it almost looks ok but i really don't want to paint it then i may have to wax it and i can't lay tools all over the truck and set on the fender to work on it.
  9. Did someone do that or was it factory aftermarket? Pretty cool.
  10. When that aswipe Pelosi finnaly kicks the bucket i my falloff the wagon and drink to her farewell. I'm pretty laid back but some of these people??? just piss me off.
  11. I have guns always been involved in gun shooting sports. I had a gun when i was 12 years old along with a lot of my school mates never thought about using the firearm for anything other than hunting or target practice. I think in this case that kid should be made to pay for his sins soon jail is to good for him public hanging??? or public electric chair to send the message it just seams these kids have no morals anymore. Someones little bit-- is to good for this kid.
  12. I had a 1934 vld Harley Davidson that ran and had most all the original parts.the guy i bought it from got it in the early 50's . Then the fun began 2500.00 dollar exact colors paint job 2000.00 for chrome and nickel plating ,hundreds for motor parts i saved money by doing the engine and trans in my shop. When i got done i didn't want to ride it anymore i was too scared i would wreck it so i sold it i should of left it ruff i used to ride it around the backroads.
  13. My cousin is a judge for a bunch of car shows and i don't think i have the will to bring my mack to the level he expects to see on the cars he judges. A lot are trailer queens not really driven anywere. I don't care if it's not stock, trucks ended up takeing on their own personality after so many years of use and abuse. Any truck looks good to me.
  14. Within 2 days of getting this thing i got a voicemail saying my muffler was falling off??????
  15. I would rather listen to my goats beggen for their nightly grain than the rest of what i here going on around me. How can a little car rattle my windows so bad when they go by? My god that music??? is weird.
  16. I have been told the john deere tractors that are made in india are prone to more breakdowns than the ones made in other countrys. I have owned 5 Kubota tractors and have had no trouble with any of them. I have a small john deere 1023 to mow the grass i hope it is as reliable as the Kubota's. I have a 1975 ford 2000 that is a pretty good tractor old us made.
  17. At the age of 62 going on 100 my girlfriend finaly talked me into a moble phone. So when i figure the damn thing out i want put some pictures of my mack on the site mybe someone would like it. this dam phone is pissing me off, half the time i can't even figure how to make a phone call, I ride motorcycles by my self so she said i got to have one just in case.
  18. I wonder how many china parts are on our army trucks and air force planes? I do think they could make better parts but do they want to?
  19. I sold some chickens a ways back and the fellow that came for them was amazed i didn't have heat and air conditioning for my birds ?
  20. the retarted flatlander next door had a bunch of them he left them run all over the place.Ii had more peacock crap on my walk and in front of my garage door and i had them crying next to my window i'm sorry i just can't stand them now .
  21. In 1970 or 71 i bought a buick grandsport 401 4barrel 2 and 1/2 duels factory 4 speed and bucket seats paid 250.00 . that was a pretty zippy car.
  22. I have a coal black kitten i ended up with does that mean i am going to get in trouble from the see more do less porch people?
  23. Years ago you went to franconi and got really good quality points and condencers and well made switches, they closed now all i got is napa and them other crap parts pushers. My friend has a car repair garage and he has to order parts very carefully from a bunch of different suppliers being the parts are so iffy. A lot of times he gets oem parts so he somewhat can trust them. He stands by his work and crap parts costs him money and it could end up ending his good rep.
  24. wouldn't the compression be a little high on that engine to turbo it?
