    drove by PLunske's yesterday . too much traffic to slow down. that Diamond T has different cab then Waterbury Mack's T wrecker. don't think I would have stood that T on it's rear axle if Waterbury had a tandem not single axle T wrecker when I attempted to hook a DM600 roll off and move !LOL

    Yes Sir I did notice that. I have realized that in many instances my mind is failing; to see your posted engine pictures and others posted here . still brings a positive smile and some great engine building memories to this ole man. THANKS every one. there is an auction I found today on auction zip having unbelievable Mack memorabilia ; I didn't want to post it if possibly some one here has a bid on it . now lets not go off topic.

    the mounting of 5th wheels with U-bolts carried into the 60's plus. number one R-model (R607T-1001)located in CT , has the U-bolts.

    I'd say "they" accomplished what they setout to do :: take focus off Greenland/ Cuba/ Russia -Ukraine. those deals still taking place. noticed news ; they want to send another rocket into space with sub zero temps ; must have forgotten the Challenger. always the same crap in this country: "what's in it for Me", no matter the cost human or other wise. Minnesota will be old news next week.

    a 2X4 cut to length goes under the yoke flange to ground. want to be fancy, two wood screws in the 2X4 with short bungee cord over the yoke hooked to the two screws. keeps it in place eliminates the backlash on drive train. cheap tool and it's reversable when install time. just move it to other side of yoke to take the backlash. lucky enough the same 2X4 works as a clutch pedal hold down when adjusting a clutch.

    thanks for the pictures!! didn't know how I was going to spend hrs with outside temp -4 degrees this am sitting inside . good to see the the topic "other foreign brands " had Macks leading the way; any picture with a Mack B-81 is a great picture.

    now you see the reason I drive 25 miles(each way) to the farm and help out. she's retired also. easy answer when asked :"how did you two stay together for 20 plus yrs" ==== never saw each other much!!!LOL
  17. mechohaulic
    might find it easier to gently remove the two shift levers. will depend on what glue you are using also.
  18. mechohaulic
    Now I don't complain about "mine" ;; more like expressing a thought.!!!LOL

    It's never tooo late ; they make plenty of models of the Mack. buy one for the Mrs. might give her a better understanding of the skill AND quite needed to built one.

    prepping for the east coast blizzard of the '70's(78?) I mounted a V plow like that to a road grader owned by Schiavi Const.. put as many roof lights as possible. chains on all wheels. grader went one direction; loader one; and the TD-20 dozer down the road. neither came back for 3-4 days. no cell phones then. service truck with fuel followed the open roads to locate machines.

    whether it's a big rig or a scale model ; the builder knows what it takes to build. build a real engine ; no one sees the pistons. the mechanic knows what's inside. point is the interior of a scale model needs the same integrity to build. getter done !! fun part of model modification is looking at it after built the builder knows of the frame stretched or engine changed ; my 352? pete from the 70's took 7 different models to build. or how air bags are made from alr cleaners taken from car models. keep it fun

    only one thing spoils that beautiful picture !! silver wedding ring! LOL
