    years back I had an opportunity to purchase a (39?) FK dump. was located in gravel pit in RI. 12/24rubber . excellent shape = didn't go any where except in the pit. original 220 cummins was replaced with a mack engine. checked around to be told ;"you won't find the engine ". only way to move truck was on trailer and being over 9 ft wide ::I passed on it.

    I'm here racking my brain cells trying to remember CORRECTLY the proper system. yes I was involved when systems were brand new ;; which also means the long range problems didn't show up yet. the air filter was a two section set up . tip turbine air came from ??? oil bath with 2 in wire screen removal able prescreen ;; didn't change that many tip turbines due to blade failure .

    model of your choice;;; SIR! the more the merrier. fortunately Mack has enough different models to keep the series going.one of the best parts of these coins is you can't put them on the spokes of a bicycle like we did as kids not knowing we were destroying a baseball card worth thousands of dollars today, LOL, build a set of coins today will be the best present to our great grand children in years to come.

    THANK YOU for that picture. the Man and His machine. could share a drink and dam near shed a tear for the memories and stories related to Mr Moffo and his fleet. from a midnite "road call" while at Mack and Mr Moffo was a waterbury Police officer for a lady in distress to a water wagon pete broke on road side which repair (at no charge ) didn't need a computer or wrecker to repair. the good days gone by (forever)sadly.

    I have found that "following our hearts" and later the "regrets "came when the sentence ended with I DO.

    3rd lot of interest was the Mack wall clock; 1 outbid it went for $75'oo I had the bid on 399 which i didn't wait to watch figuring the numbers would be high-- wrong again. checked back after only to see it went for $150.oo. all the early Mack bulldog magazines from 30's-40's . 1 -by then everyone money ran out; 2 no one knew what they were. they were the first version of what became the bulldog magazine yrs later. those magazine would have been full of info.

    It's not mine to pass judgment; right or wrong :: agree or disagree . old man like myself, never had to deal with these issues. had an older cousin to which everyone knew was gay. attended family functions with his partner. no one condemned . treat them same as others. guess I'd rather see the rainbow flags waving then a group going down the street waving(shooting) AR 15's.

    don't think that's the picture I had in my mind growing up when some one went "bareback riding."

    have been monitoring the auction ; there are some people out there with one heck of a lot of money. lot 62 =Mack literature went for $800.oo not counting premium !!!
  12. mechohaulic
    sure glad people like yourself are out there bringing old people like myself up to date. I forgot about the no injection pump/ mechanical pedal linkage. still don't see a need for lower then 850 jake. around here all you hear are the big pete/kw triaxles using the jake for shifting/making noise then actual slow down. like the 4 wheel tin cans with the ying ying mufflers.
  13. mechohaulic
    starting now 10:30 winter associates Plainville CT . large lots of truck/auto related literature. I'm outbid on two Mack lots.
  14. mechohaulic
    my question is ;; why would you want the jake on lower then 850 eng RPM's ?? stall time ??
  15. mechohaulic
    old school jakes (I installed many) weren't wired into a computer as today's iron. I'd bet you can't; unless some one chimes in with more knowledge of the computer system : definitely not me.

    how lucky YOU are. second time around I got the full 4 course/ cloth napkins / sterling silver expectation one ::: Darn! as the saying goes "you don't know what you got till it's gone " . #1 was the burger and fries lady. and beautiful .
  17. mechohaulic
    and don't forget :: being a little on the "trashy side "means they are content with a good burger and fries :::don't need a full four course meal with cloth napkins and fine china, so I've heard LOL
  18. mechohaulic
    is that comment based on experience !! OR just passing on rumors heard !!!!😱🤣🤣

    my two number 4's arrived today. figured by now taking all 4 side by side it would be easy to say " I like this one better than that one "NOT HAPPENING . 1's as good as 2 -2 as good as 1/3/4 . excellent start of hope to be large collection. #5 ???? THANKS

    not good to have a dried out roll between the sheets!!!🤣🤣
  21. mechohaulic
    count my vote as a yes to Susanna also . '60's/70's weren't to shy about having some beautiful women. not sure is this still on topic ???LOL
  22. mechohaulic
    why of course you do ; that's one of the signs of a well kept. professional mechanics shop.

    not only was gasket paper common back then : it came in different thickness. had the hole punch set and good sharp knife .
  24. mechohaulic
    didn't think gasket paper was even available anymore ! thought new generation only had gaskets from a silicone tube, 😀nice job on the new ones.

    You have my "vote" for the kielbasa and eggs -I missed that food intake !! My hats off to You Sir for Your accomplishments. wife number 2 doesn't understand how a foul marriage entices the urge to alcohol intake.
