I had lots of different bike brands and I owned and rode 56 and 49 pans 1934 vld 1940 8o" flathead 1963 sportster 76 92" shovel 2006 107" twin cam and when I was a kid I rode a ridged frame 125 harley in the woods as one of my dirtbikes. I then turned to bmws what a change in the way you lived with the bikes.I don't want to bash Harley but Harley has the sound but is and never will be a super bike.I wish some one fresh would of took over and did a revamp of their lineup.

I just ordered a used hardcover for less than 4 bucks from thrift books and .99cents shipping. It looks like a good read thanks for the post about it. When I was a young kid I read two books bulldozer and tmodel tommy after we got the computer I looked around and bought reprints and I reread them every so often.

I think marabell trucking was on rt.92 going past the split to go to lake winola. I remember seeing the trucks by the garage. Thank you for the memory. Nice pictures thank you.

Can the brake shoes be bolt on lineings? My friend couldn't find drums for his old trailer and he found an iron foundry and had them cast new ones then he turned them down to size on my old lathe he got from me. time consuming but it was a very happy ending for him.

I got one of the mack rolloffs stuck on some ice at the end of the company's driveway and the packer driver gave me a short tug I didn't live that down for a few weeks, compared to these retarts I don't feel as big of an idiot.

It's to bad someone couldn't of shot the little shit before the media was around now it's circus time and those lawyer's will milk it for all our money's worth. It pisses me off the left and the snowflakes are saying I shouldn't have guns If I have guns around it's a fact I am going to harm someone with them. And this crap about ar15's the idiot's don't have a clue. A good marksman with a lever gun can pump out the lead pretty fast. In years past I owned a browning 30 belt gun and a maxim belt gun and went to full auto shoots great fun. Those twinky's would shit their pants at one of those shoots.I have come to detest the socalled media and just for the hell of it all those assholes in California that make all kinds of problems for the rest of us.The girlfriend says i'm just a miserable old fart and I say when you turn 60 you shouldn't have to suffer fools anymore that's my storey and i'm sticken to it.

I have to say there is something about the sound of a v8 or v12 Detroit sort of like a shovelhead harley or my old velocet thruxton very much there own sound.

Now that is cool thanks for showing it

That may not be a mack but i find it more interesting because it is a truck you don't see over and over.

Here i set was going to go motorcycling with friends and woke up at 3:30 with a swelled up right wrist,crap! I was cutting wood on Monday so i could cleanup the mess after the tree guys got done and sh-t happens. I was told this morning i'm an old fart get used to the aches and pains. Its my right one so i can't even work a fishing rod.

To me the drivers door looks narrow? I have found the mack cabs hold together but we justabout went broke trying to keep the trucks on the road because of problems with the pollution controls. We had an older acar with a cummins and i liked that frontloader over the macks. We were rearload only until the owners got a frontloader soon every thing was frontload what a time saver.

I liked how the fenders swung out of the way on the two triaxels i drove. If i had too much fun on wed. night that 318 really got my head pounding on Thursday.

Call kevin All he will most likely have a used one in his collection of parts 1-607-434-1063 he is in ny. up by Albany.

who ever own's that b should be mighty proud. Nothing against anyone else's truck but i like this truck sadly it makes mine look like crap.

I looked at the date and said screw it and went for a 153 mile ride on my spyder it was great

Yesser that little shady going on's in the garden of eden has ruined us guys to a life of servitude to that one thing we couldn't live without in our misspent youth.

All the info you need is on that box chances are it is a ross or sheppard box right around the output shaft housing should be numbers. You got to clean that box up to see them. Once you find the numbers do a search on the web you will find your info.

That is the Bermuda triangle once you get in there that's the end of life as you knew it.

On my white it had an air brake peddle on the floor and run a hose to a slave cylinder pushing on the clutch arm. It was 30 some years ago so i hope i remember it right.

My white cabover had a air clutch and it was somewhat touchy. I never used it to shift gears just to take off and you wanted to use 1st gear bobtail or loaded good luck

Maybe if the news plastered this all over the place and people see that you can die for your stupidity and it's not a tv show or video game maybe the next idiot would thing twice before pulling the trigger. Maybe it's too bad the kid got shot but he shot the girl and intended to kill her so screw him. Were i live i think they should take the prisoners out like a chain gang and fix the roads let them boys get a suntan and learn how to handle a shovel and pick. Then i wouldn't have to help pay for tv and barbells

RowdyRebel i had the same thing happen to the older Brockway i was hauling riprap up in conn. I was on the job and the truck had to run . so the rest of the day i had no clutch that night i went and got one of the load chains and wrapped it around the trans and used a binder to tight'n it up there was 3 or 4 bolts left in the bell housing and the rest of the holes were not round anymore. I ran that truck for over a month like that . I should ad when people say they are on a tight budget we swapped tires that showed the cords to ones that were just bald.

Every time i had to change a starter i was always worried i would loose my grip and it would fall on me. I found as the years got on they were making them starters a lot heavy'r

I was always going on jobsites to fix trucks or the booms or forklifts always every one was just happy i got the product off the truck never did any union people give me a hard time but we were supplying brick on a social security building and i was trying to get the boom to swing here comes some union guy chasing me off the place i told pete the driver strap the load down were going home and to the union guy i told him the truck is not going to be back for 2 or 3 days due to the mechanical issuses. And when i send the truck back i will bill for another delivery boy did the crap hit the fan. After all the bigwigs got done bitching to the owner of my company he told them just what i said the union guys figured maybe it would be ok if i fixed the damn boom right now after screwing around for 2 hours i fixed the boom in 15 minutes. It sort of left a bad taste in my mouth for unions after that

I had old cubs and wheel horse tractors and john deere 400 and a 318 i got tired of fixing them and bought one of those 1023e little john deeres i guess it's ok had it for 2 or 3 years didn't have to fix it yet.
