    not knowing why it sat for year and a half OR WHY it has been started NOW :: my personal recommendation is to slightly tap it while running to see if it corrects itself. this unit going into service ??? THEN put $$$ into it. put new governor and misc. $$ into so it can sit another year is like a government operation .

    unfortunately today I did not take a video of a '70's Terex loader with front flat tire being unloaded from a triaxle low bed using another large loader. and Barnum Bailey thought they had a circus act . owners says to me :" got another project for you "! gee thanks I need some more. 4 cyl Detroit . stop cable broke ' they've been shutting it off with emergency stop !!!WTF you can't do that you will suck in the dam seals. don't you understand why it is called an EMERGENCY shut off .

    Have a safe trip. I worked all day at the farm in Woodbury today : But you could have brought the puppies to cheshire to let them walk around. you were welcome to keys of this house also.

    If you still need to move(trailer)it , then leave some sort of guarantee for controlled stopping. whether drive train/ parking brake system. DO NOT rely on a couple of 4x4's behind wheels for stopping. a truck or any motor vehicle rolling off trailer can jump over 4x4's. that statement based on experience.

    can't enlarge picture enough for these bad eyes to see ;BUT that has to be Red Coach : front grill guard says Service ??? hope You hurry and comprise a Book. So many forgotten fleets just from new England (CT) gone and forgotten .not even counting "the little guys " .

    back in the day practice was every chance that came about. back when body was in much better shape ; I could shift a duplex twin stick 3rd hi to 4th lo with one hand. reach part way down the shift levers , thumb on main =up to right (4th) ; small finger on aux = straight up (low). the fun days

    and to think if she didn't bite the apple from the tree of knowledge ; she may have climbed out of the DM wearing only a fig leave. ( got back on track) LOL
  23. mechohaulic
    always the number one priority ::SAFETY !!! start removing drive shaft(shafts) caging brakes ;; you are loosing parking ability. keep couple 4x4's or what ever to block the wheels. don't want to be under it removing driveshaft and have your legs/ foot run over.
  24. mechohaulic
    need anything call me. there's plenty of room in this yard in cheshire for puppies to roam and crap. better then sitting in hotel room.
