Joey Mack

Well all of what you ask and say makes sense.. I literally rely on my skills with ''tool's'' I looked into buying a loaded laptop and Vocomm box 6 years ago. $12,000.00... So instead I bought a 2002 Isuzu NPR, for $8000.00... It is tough out there, but I have been able to find customers that need repairs rather than programming, and some will pay me to install the parts then go to the dealer for programming, or a "Learn data reset"... I will not get rich doing this. I average about $50,000.00/ year with this truck.. and the rest is made in my little shop.. jojo

Volvo has already Killed Mack... But can't Kill guy's like us.. Jojo

Im in my zone with Mack's... But lately I have branched out a bit.. The John Deere's were new to me, I built an Isuzu 4HE1 2 months ago.. What I do is, buy an instant download manual for what I have, and go for it... I buy tools as needed. the Isuzu caused me to buy a rear main seal tool.. and a few other tools... what'cha thinkin? Jojo

Awesome!!! A Yorkie I assume? I had 2 myself. My little girl was a 'Teacup' Pup,,, or 'Purse puppy' as some might say.. and my boy (her real brother) was a 'Meatball' jojo

The green one is a John Deere 3179DF.. It's the second one ive built this year, and I have 2 more to do.. Under the cover in the very back is an E-6, 2-valve, (ENDT 673) for a B model.. around 1960. both engines are owned by the same people. Funny thing about them.... this is more for youre shop talk thread, but anyway.. I work for myself, and I worked for them at thier company part time, then I went full time for health insurance. So one friday I went home 2 hrs early because I was in a lot of pain, (buldging disc's).. anyway, no one was there but me and I was done with all of my work.. went back on Monday, and the Son, ripped me a new A-Hole, cursed me me out and told me to get the "F" out!!! when I came back to get my tool box, he asked me if I would still be willing to build thier engines at my shop.. I sad, yes... that was on Nov. 1st. I'm still scratching my head... They also have 2 E-7's and an E-Tech that they want me to build... jojo

Ok... last Pup... this is Mack. he's the oldest. 3 years old on Aug. 18th.. Now it's time for other pup's to be posted... Bring 'em on...jojo

thanks... great pup's!!!! my first shop, of course it's too small now.. I put a 20' carport up to the front 2 months ago, now its 45' long... next step is a concrete pad outside. jojo

I had a little trouble getting the picture up,, dont know why... well, its up... jojo

Here is our other Australian Sheppard 'Tino' (Valentino). He will be 2 on Jan. 1st... He is full of energy and extremely athletic.. He's amazing! All he want's to do is run and play with the other 2 pup's... jojo

yep... our 2 countries would be a strong team that could support each other, and provide to each the resources that may not be available in the other country.. jojo

Too bad our King wont open our country up for business.. we have all of what we need right under our feet... Jojo

Oh I almost forgot, a plate of French fries and gravy.. So good!!

do you recommend Molson Canadian, or a couple of Calgary oilcans... I drank a bunch of that when I lived in Maine.. jojo

It's been 3 days since the tornado's, and our dictator still hasnt visited the people there... You know darn well that President Trump would have been there already, riding around in "The Beast" and talking to to American People... Jojo

what if you pee'd 37.5 oz. of pee, and added 62.5 oz. of water,,,, will that work? jojo

for some reason, this post got deleted, after a short time, several of you posted likes on it, so to all of you, thank you. I hope it stay's this time.. jojo

I wanted to share my kid's. I don't have human kids, just these guys.. today is this guy's 3rd birthday. His name is Charlie... jojo

I agree... When I learned now to drive an X107, it was pretty cool, even though I had to be patient with myself and the shifter, I still liked it because of multi speed reveres.. Then I started driving a 2070, and imediately missed the X107.. I learned to drive the 1070B in the late 90's., in a 79 R Model, pulling a tri-x dump trailer. E-6 350, I think 4:17 rears. that truck would run right along with the new trucks that they had.. I drove for a construction outfit in Scarborough Maine, for only 2 years, but I drove every truck the had, from late 70's DM's tri axle dump trucks, to the Newer CH and RD tractors. I miss that old tractor. it had a long frame and the fifth wheel was 'fixed'. With a heavy load on, I could pop a wheelie if I was to aggressive ,taking off. I remember a couple of times that I was waiting to make a turn at an intersection, and I would try to get out and go... instead I would pop a wheelie and go straight with the wheel turned.. Its a funny feeling.. jojo

I would rather have the X107 over the 2070.. Any day.. Of course I really like a 1070B.. jojo

looks like an x107?

yes sir... I know i'm new here, but have felt the same way. I even started a thread about it.. Oh well... Sometimes I think.... should I respond? or is this a waste of my time? I still respond... I'ts just in my nature.... jojo

I was just watching "Newsmax" and saw the 'blind- leading-the blind'.... WTF!!!! jojo

I want youre truck!!!! Dammit!!! I no longer live in moose country.... jojo

yes sir.. I drove one a bit newer back in the late '90's it had an 18 spd, it out pulled the newer E-Tech 427's in the fleet. the 18 spd. helped, but the other's were 13's.. I may be off a year, about the electric gov. maybe '94 was the first year.. anyway, catch you later, jojo
