    You would be the coolest neighbor ever! Every guy in the neighborhood is probably going to ask to use it! What Detroit engine does this have? 6-71? And what kinda plans do you have for this rig? Very cool!

    They seemed to make a huge deal about it when they went from gross to net horsepower in the 70s. They apparently didn't want to mislead customers but I guess that all went out the window later.

    How on earth did you get that dog in and out of a cabover every day? Now I'm not all that tall but it was still a mighty task to lift my 50lb dog into our Mh cabover when we still had it. I remember having to lift her above my head almost to get her in.

    Since I am usually the combine operator I often catch a ride back to town in these. The guy I work for sometimes borrows one from the local grain company when his own trucks can't keep up. The newer mid 2000s Freightliners are built a lot worse interior wise, they rattle and squeak so bad you can't hear the radio. They also always have pizza boxes covering the floor like pictured above lol. Does this one have the Detroit 60? One of the later ones I've been in had that weird Mercedes engine.

    I have been seeing a lot of Freightliners like that hauling milo out of the bins lately. None look as clean as that one! Most of them will probably never get a wash in their life and be a permanent grain dust brown.

    Forget a mid engine Corvette, I'd rather have a mid engine Mack! Looks sharp! Just how bad is the rust? Is the frame good? Should be a good project!

    That took me longer to get than it should have lol. I've been watching a lot of British Top Gear and was pronouncing Nissan the British/Aussie way.

    I've been there, Sometimes it feels like the time is just wrong, the market for tractors just isn't right some years and in some areas. There's a 1270 Case by me selling for $3,000 that hasn't had much interest yet, but in the right time and area it would be worth way more than that. Hate to see a good tractor go to scrap but you'll get way more out of it if you part it out. Tires look good and someone could do something cool with an engine like that.

    Time for a different tuner! If they can't get it to run right then it's something in the programing I would say. But I don't know much of anything about deleting/tuning Deleting a truck makes it much harder to sell too. Good luck!

    Another thing to keep an eye on these trucks is the ZF 6 speed manual on some of the later 7.3 powerstrokes, they have a transmission cooler like an automatic. I know a guy who blew up his transmission in his work pickup due to the transmission cooler leaking.

    Thats just what I was about to post. $35,000!! I guess that blows my chances of ever being able to own one of those

    The more smoke out the back the more soot in the oil and cylinder wall destruction. Sounds to me like it will last no longer than 250,00 before the motor starts using oil and looses compression. I know a lot of young guys just like that who try to make sports cars out of their diesel pickups. I get enough noise and smoke from my old farm equipment, I don't understand why anyone would want more of that.

    The kid that assassinated a politician in Japan a while back was about that age, John Wilkes Booth was 26, and Lee Harvey was 24 when they did their deed. I guess you just wouldn't expect the kids now to do something like this but it's hard to say. I really don't know what to think anymore
  14. BOBWhite
    At first I thought the shooter was a middle age guy but no, he was only a 20 year old kid. Conspiracies aside it's saddening to think that someone that young could be so mad at their own country.

    All those original stickers are awesome! Was this truck originally owned by a Deere dealer or did the previous owner just have green blood?
  16. BOBWhite
    Nice setup! What brand of trailer is it? Timpte? That should really give that R model a good load with 1000 bushels! Electric tarp too! Was that very hard to wire in?

    I don't need anything printed (out of wall space) but I restored the quality of this Ad a bit. Have you ever gone to the Florida flywheelers event down there? I bet you could sell quite a few of them if you got a booth at one of those old engine shows.

    I swear dealers and shops are behind this and want to make it as hard as possible to change oil. I changed the oil in my Corolla yesterday and it has previously been to a shop, the filter and the plug were horribly tight! I get someone over tightening a plug, but why a filter?! Anyways I still prefer the petcock style lol

    Since your tag says you are in Kansas, Southwest Truck Parts carries a lot of the older stuff but I'm not sure about windshields. As stated before I would try some of the local glass shops to see what they can come up with. Welcome to the forum!

    Bed ridden during the summer is the worst, hope you get feeling better. Seems like the only commercials I've been getting lately are those stupid HIV medication Ads that I can't stand. Why do they even advertise medications anyway? Most of the people watching don't need it and can't afford it if they do. Anyways, I hope everyone can enjoy some fireworks tonight

    Love that brown ute on the lift in the back! UPS is running some new Anthems around here but haven't seen too many others yet.

    Remember not too much oil in the generator/starter cups! I use 3-in-One Oil in my stuff with generators and only lubricate them annually. As stated there isn't much to go wrong with these generators. I think I've posted this video here before but it explains the generator/regulator better than anything I've seen:

    The Australians probably have it even worse driving on the exhaust side of things. Probably don't even need a pyrometer if your cabs not sealed up from the exhaust heat.

    I know exactly what you're talking about with corn sweat, the air feels hot and sticky with a sweet smell to it. Near feedlots seems to be where it's the worst. My dad would tell me about fixing irrigation pivots in the summer when he was a kid and wow that sounded hot, with the humidity and not even the slightest breeze in the middle of the corn field.

    One of the last years for the 1693 before they went to the 3406
