I can't get jack sh-t where I live I got that hulu and amazon and netflix it don't matter there is nothing on any of the channels. Last night I fell asleep and I guess I was snoring so loud I woke myself up I must of scared all the dogs out of the living room when I woke up I was alone.

I paid almost 100.00$ for the adjusting screw when I put mine on I got the whole thing switches and all for 500.00$.There are two different size washer plates I was told for different year engines?

It's really cute but I don't want it in my yard the little bastard would be hell on my chickens.

Is that an old 250hp. I thought some didn't have a turbo?

Larry I just seen a photo of your truck did you paint the complete cab? That chrome grill looked real nice. Did you ever do anything about your transmission noise?

It was 7 or 8 years ago and I didn't look for the interior green. Cook brothers phone number is 570-655-9152 I got some other colors that's when I was told that Kirker supplied paint to Mack. I think you could buy Kirker on line at one time I painted a dump box that long ago and the paint is still holding up I think it was about 60.00$ a gallon for black.

My Two good friends owned a trailer park I used to hear all the bull crap they had to put up with. My property is most likely worth a lot less than most of the property's on long island. I only paid 25,000.00 for my property about 30 years ago.

Wow I'm bitching having to pay 2,200.00 a year for taxes.

Kirker paint was the company that suppled mack I bought it from cook brothers they had the mack shades in stock some years ago

Years ago I was friendly with one of the tire guys that would do the tires for the company I worked at it was back when you would still see split rims. He showed me the ins and outs of dealing with those rims if you looked hard enough they were numbered to be kept together he claimed if you kept the parts together and in good shape he wasn't worried working on them. In the early 70's you would see a lot of split rims in the tire shops it was standard most trucks had them I had them on my New Idea manure wagon.

Those air-equip ends are more money to start with but if you have a vice you can make up a hose pretty quick I always got them for around my shop I didn't want to get involved with a hose press.

The thing that irritates me is the wasted money and effort spent screwing Trump right from the start. I would like to know how much was wasted that could of been used for our bridges and roads. Start there and then continue with education and other social good works. But we need infrastructure first. And enough with the bulls--t doing away with coal and gas and petroleum. Right now we don't have anything better. I like heat in my house and gas in my truck and diesel in my mack.

That family that I spoke of I have known for all my 65 years I am really lucky they ended up my friends as well as my neighbors. Good friends are the most valuable asset a person can acquire.

I guess my neighbors kids are millennials the one girl shovels the barn out by hand after 5 horses works every day and is raising a young daughter. the younger girl got a job on the pipelines right out of high school the two boys are employed on the pipe lines they are doing good. I was at work and they were off work and came down and the whole crew shoveled my driveway and walk by hand the father said they had to do it to try and return some of the favors I have done for them.

If you stick with a 237 or another model like that pretty easy I had very little problems water pump, front balancer. the 285hp. has the tipturbo so you have to deal with another air inlet line and a newer model engine with air to air I don't know how much of a modification you would have to do.

I would take a torch and heat the shoes and it would boil out the oil. The seals that were around back then weren't the quality we have today.

Back in the 70's I run anything that held air. I was driving a brockway triaxle and the one front tire about had the inner tube showing threw so on went a almost bald tire. Every day I aired up the tires and filled that 318 up with oil and toped off the antifreeze. Right now my mack has four rear tires I bought out of a truck junk yard. I used to run recaps on cars and my pickups. In all the years of running caps I was coming up 81 with a load of marble chips in the dump trailer and I had the two new recaps that was put on before the trip loose the caps finished the run on the casings ripped the maxi air lines off when those caps come peeling off. Put a big dent in the fuel tank and hit the bunk so hard it took 3 years off my life. Had to improvise to get air up after dark with a flashlight that died right when you need it. Dot wasn't the force they are to day. We would run around the scales and the cb was a real tool back then.

I have a 1980 engine in my b it is also a etz but 673? 260 hp.

WE lived through the Clintons, Obama now we have this dynamic duo cut from the same pattern. I figure their moto is me first and the country namely us are in for a screwy ride. I did really well with my investments these last four years way way better than the other years of Trumps predecessors. I wish Trump came along years ago maybe the two guys I had working for me would be still working in my shop? I feel the election was Trump's to win but the Republican party has to learn to play dirty hardball just like the left does. It's not like Davy and Goliath its a dirty street fight with todays politics and the sickening news outlets. I will tell you about a friend of mine his sister had pancreatic cancer when she died the death certificate said she died of covid George took them to task and had the death certificate changed to the true reason he had a hell of a time but got it done how many more ended up like this?

673 end new rings and rod bearings good injectors and injection pump air compressor set for power steering pump. B 42 steering box nice shape. 464 rear dayton 11-22.5 rims and tires new drums and shoes bearings one new maxi. b oil bath air cleaner. aluminum battery box for 2 battery's. trans coolers off an 1980 fire truck for autotrans. right and left square b fuel tanks. best offer I'm hoping someone will get some use out of these things. I have the engine under roof under a tarp.

Swishy, Thanks for the photo's the last cat bulldozer I drove was a twenty I showed the owner how to start it and operate the tractor. Kind of an odd model lots more 10's around or the d-2's or d-4's. Back in the early 70's I worked on a 20 old logger run it and a 933 track loader no one would go near the 20 hand crank start everyone was afraid to try it just pull up and keep your thumb out and no problems.

Frank I see you're in Lehighton I'm about 1and 1/2 hours away there is a truck junkyard up from me that will probably have the rims and tires used that you need Summit core supply 570-983-4105 the owner is Dave Drake and he sold me quite a few items for I thought a reasonable price. He had the last time I was to his place a big pile of mounted tires I got four aluminum hub mount rims with three about brand new drive caps and one about 3/4 tread for I thought give away prices. There is a large truck yard at around Hazelton A-1 I think they sell tires and rims you will pay a lot more.

I followed your ordeal of changing over to the 237 and you are running the triplex is it a double over? I threw one in my b after I slid in the newer 673 engine and I am really liking the hot stick reminds me of my old 4x4 in my old autocar. You said yours's is noisy so is mine but for what I do with mine I think it will last as long as I can still drive the truck.

I have a good air compressor it has the mount for a power steering pump I know it's good because it was on my truck. Make me an offer.

There was a cylinder on the frontend that acted against the rack and a line over to the intake. I just plugged the cylinder off. It just holds back a little fuel when you press on the throttle peddle. That end cover has a oring where it is mounted on the pump and mine started to leak you have to pull the pump off to change a 1.00 oring.
