    possible for a little more history on this unit ?? hasn't run in yrs/ have been having fuel problems / etc .. see it listed in fire apparatus. this is a fire unit .runs rough and getting it ready for parade season ??? if the filters fuel is black smells like varnish I would think the fuel tank(s) need a flushing/ cleaning also.

    from day one that ground bar in pump for dynatard was a cluster f==k . if they did last longer than a small number of uses , they wore out fast. I like the modification to grounding dynatard ; could call it a "redneck nitrous switch" LOL

    years later, still kicking my ass for throwing out ALL the brand new Detroit diesel parts I had. new cyl kits. turbo, blowers. etc thanks to age of computers ; all the brand new N65/N75 injectors I wanted to GIVE to manager at service dept at local international dealer (knew him well), he couldn't take = had no way to show on inventory (computer) when they were bought. can't sell something computer said they didn't have. at the farm I hang out at was a Mack transmission ( 10 speed ? ) .was going to take it before it was gone. went back last week ; it's gone either buried or scrapped. complete bell housing/ mounts . trying not to pack rat.

    I have always been a firm believer in the repurpose technic. the newer generation seems to have the =throw it away and buy new=' nope ... have been called pack rat on a number of occasions. comical how it seems the ones calling me pack rat are the ones knocking on the door asking "hey you have such and such , its late stores are closed ;LOL

    was wondering about the silver dog on hood ; looked at all 49 pictures , can see why, not maxi.

    if mechanically sound; doesn't look to need a lot . better to see it "all natural" then hiding under paint job. fact it's so weathered could be a sign of neglected maintenance.

    that method worked for Johnny Cash also;; he got it one piece at a time!!🤣🤣 LOL

    might not be 5 physically ; can't say the same for mentally. didn't have to change the rest room signs when a 5 yr old pretended either.
  18. mechohaulic
    You knew it was natural asper;;no turbo == YOU were checking to see how many were paying attention to the pictures LMAO
  19. mechohaulic
    ever notice most pictures of "future beings/ grays "they all look the same ; no male/ female stuff. like the generation before:: the Beatles and others with long hair were the "end of the world" . NOT defending any one or thing. at my age don't expect to be here to see much more of these changes . some of the "people" walking around in todays world match the creatures shown on star trex/ and other space shows. LOL👹🤡

    the Clydesdales also had heated walkin swimming pools . and a cozy ride to Florida every winter in their own custom trailers.

    sure glad there was a clarification on the LTL 😁 didn't remember the H having that dash or shifters in that location. last experience with an H was when it was being tow started dead of winter, twin stick duplex . I had the H . short version ; wrecker stopped H ( me) didn't.. no build up of air / hand brake didn't work. let clutch out to stop as wrecker tow bar closed in . aux not in gear. that little bubble on front nose made contact with 2 in steel plate. from then on NO towing with out air in tanks and wrecker tow bar at bumper height.

    how fortunate You are to have a member of the younger generation so interested in old iron and history.
  23. mechohaulic
