Kevin will sell every part off that truck I don't think anything in his yard gets cut up for scrap iron.Just down from Albany NY.

I like the big Muskie model i never saw one like that.I have a book about the largest drags and straight front shovels and in it is info on the muskie and other behemoths that dug the coal.

good b model steering box, nice aluminum battery box for two batterys, good rear single axle 470 ratio new drums and shoes seals 4 good 11/22.5 tires dayton rims and one new maxi. parts off my 673 end good pump and injectors, right and left square style fuel tanks make me an offer i can't refuse

Call over to cooks and ask for tom or jeff they will fix you up with a seal and sleeve there has got to be some one near you that you could borrow a stemco sleeve installer just to drive the ring on.

I had an air compressor stop making air intermittingly was the valves in the compressor head sticking and not sealing i looked for repair parts but non was available so exchange unite was installed.

David Wild you have outdid your self that was more entertaining than most movies and tv shows on the air at present. That sir is a true classic I about pissed my pants laughing.

I was convinced once trump was voted in the sleazy lifetime politicians that are in office would be trying to stick it to trump and i was 100% right. They didn't get trump with all they tried so far. God only knows what kind of other crap they will try to pin on trump before the coming election. If there is a true hell i hope they have an express line for self serving sleazy political hacks.

Looks like you have a nice garage to put your truck together that truck will be neat when you are done. Good luck remember just because it came apart doesn't mean it won't fight you when you try to reassemble it. One nice thing if it pisses you off you can walk right out of the garage and do something else and come back another day and it will go better for you saves getting mad and using a much bigger hammer.

I guess i'll have to swish off the goat poop and take a beauty shot of my kubota mx5100 doing something. I used the backhoe to plant some small trees yesterday I'm to old and smart not to use powered machines whenever i can.

Years ago i did work for a shoe company they ended up just making cheap sneakers out of the country they at one time were a large employer in the area all kinds of excuses but i think some was management and workers were to blame too. I did a lot of machine work for the company they had a nice machine shop and had three workers in the shop but they sent me things that they should of been doing in house i was in the place at least three times a week i never saw them doing anything. At one time my girlfreind worked there and you could make a decent wage toward the end i had to stand in the show room and bitch and carry on to get 30 over late payments. If that is what is going on in American factory's no wonder shoes cost like the dickens. I lost a lot of business when the push was on for free trade I had to let two guys go that worked for me.

Up to my favorite truck scrap yard there are two mrs they are low mount seats i would of got one of those but they were rode hard and wore out. With some steel fab. i think they would be low enough for head room and i think the backs may be thin enough for your cab. I have picked out a seat out of a freightliner small cabover low mount and thin low back cloth cover it has to accommodate my cousin which weighs over 250 lbs so he needs all the room he can get.

I figure after putting up with bud wheels all the years if i had a chance i would of shot whoever come up with the design what a pisspor excuse for wheel retention on the hubs give me dayton or hubpilot.

It makes me wonder when cops show up to warn the parent about kids playing together? I find it a bit offensive. I'm about sick and tired of this corona crap it's time to shit or get of the pot as my 90 year old grandmother would say. Dammit I NEED A HAIRCUT!

It really frost's my ass when you find something that is good value, made very well, made in USA, actually fits and then the company has to faze out the product.How often has it happened to you? Or the USA made product is so dam expensive you can't justify the cost over some Chinese made crap.Does labor on a mass produced product mean that much markup or some ceo has to make 6 million a year plus stock options and then allow the company to run itself into the ground?

These days i got what money can't buy Poverty and i'm independently broke.

I always wore redwings then they discontinued the kind i used tried different brands and finally bought a pair of chippawa work boots been wearing them over 5 years 2and1/2 years in a transfer station were i worked i stood in mud, garbage, water, slop and other stuff best not named.

I'd love to have a chrome grill like the one on this beauty.

I just gave a call to cooks and the mack number and gunite number is no longer available and that 8668x number didn't show up.

Thank you for the info. Why is it still listed as a 673 when the 675s and 676s were out all ready? Would it have something to do with the torque rise of the engine?

I got an odd one in my truck etz673 came out of a mack fire truck 2100 rpm 260 hp. plate says made in 1980

I was shone how to change a tire while it was still mounted on the truck it saved time when dealing with lift axle wheels.

I used one somewhat like that almost 6 days a week i don't miss tire work.

That b still a hand crank? I help my buddy hay and he has 3 b's, an a and 50 and a 60 thats what we use to get the hay in i like the sound of the old jd's.

Deep fry that bat up and give it a new name and it would be just like chicken wings come up with some different condiments to dip it into everyone would want them.

I went fishing today first time in two years i got the old fart discount for a life time license. Sat in the boat for 5 hours and no bites not even a bluegill but it wasn't a total loss i caught a boat dock and one tree. Maybe the fish saw i didn't have a mask on and they didn't want to chance getting this vires. Next time i'll wear a mask and rubber gloves.
