  1. Sorry I do not wear hats, sneakers or shorts.
  2. Eh not a big deal. Today for Indigenous People Day I serenaded the town with 5 hours of Mountain, Black Sabbath, Cream, Country Joe and the Fish, Mitch Ryder and Commander Cody.
  3. My ancestors came from Cape Elizabeth when it was still the Mass Bay Colony, due to a disagreement over privateering with the Crown in 1630, we had to go live with the Dutch in New Amsterdam.
  4. David, the Mainers went out of their way to help with anything required and offered all kind of help with paperwork. Got Hammond Lumbers pledge to supply the house kits at 10% over cost. Good people all around til you get to Portland and Unity.
  5. We had one of the thrashers, a big 500 gallon wood barreled tanker thing, a sickle cutter and a three row planter. All wood and strap iron. My grandma bought about 1918. Her and granpop used a model T to pull them I was told. I saved some of the metal parts from where they burned them up after WWII when the got modern ones.
  6. J brackets won't work on a larger tank. they will crease and eventually puncture the tanks. Only way short of replacing them is to re radius them to match the larger diameter tanks.
  7. Tapered Piloted reamers for doing kingpins are available from Brown and Sharpe and a few Aviation tool suppliers. Average is around 90 to 100 USD My very old Snap on kingpin press kit came with 6 different piloted tapered kingpin reamers. I believe that are all a 7degree taper. The axle for my mixer was done at Riverhead Spring. The axle "eye" was bored out and a new pice was pulled out of the freezer and pressed in. When it warmed up it was in there permanant. Riverhead used 4130 to make the repair part from and tapered reamer to fit the kingpin. They said as long as you keep it greased it will last a long time.
  8. They're not worth the effort to insult. A few small bill boards, a mailer explaining what they cost the village and run my daughter in law and son against them in the next election will be sufficient. No reason to inflict harm on the village residents. Anyway would not submit the disabled vets and their families to that better than you environment. I'm putting the entire development in Maine near Scarborough Veterans Home instead of splitting it between 2 states. .
  9. Bet the Amish would take those ancient machines in a second! Donks!
  10. Well that will help sales a lot. Sure that Sanders, Warren and Biden and Beto will go there with their UAW pins to add support to the poorly paid slaves like they say the GM workers are.
  11. Well they are getting a pair of big bill boards, can't punish everybody for a pair of idiots but you can let everyone know about it.
  12. Daughter in law went to the meeting this evening on the village accepting my offer to shelve the lawsuit. The pair of "elite" women who frowned on my coming to the zoning meeting a few months ago right from a job site in work clothes and in my M917 dump truck, explained they would never accept the terms from a dirty inbred piece of trash who probably can't read or write.
  13. 1/8 works the 55 originally ran it in the early 1960's . Three options I guess 1/8 and 1/4 for the regular racers and the rails and funnies run 3/16 . . .and brag about breaking all the old records
  14. Nah Chelsea is talking of running for Senate and Pantsuit Prissy says she can beat Trump again so all the dead votes go to them. Trump doesn't win there will be bad dodo revenge by the Dems on us.
  15. If your wife soaks you in Moxie you'll come back to life better n new no need for the BBQ box.
  16. Wow! On the 1/8th no less.Don't recall the last 1/8 mile track I ran at. 1970 at Islip maybe.
  17. https://www.raneystruckparts.com/mack-headlights/ https://www.4statetrucks.com/lighting/mack-cv713-granite-headlights_15226.asp Remember what ever type you install LED, Halogen or HID you definitely need to readjust your headlights. The brighter lights have a different lens pattern and you will blind oncoming vehicles and not get the optimum light spread.
  18. Not sure if it is available but I'd use that UV cured adhesive on it
  19. Line lock is mechanical and didn't release smoothly. Went down to 4:10 from 4:88 and back to M&H's at 12 psi. launched at 5500 on a 50/50 mix of Methanol and Benzine. It's really "loose" at those speeds, too much air under neath makes it really wander. Course weighing in at 2160 with 60's chassis tech, being brick shaped contributed to it too. At least it made it's last races on top of it's game. 1962 to 2019 as a gasser. I bought from my dad in 1969 and I retired it on almost the exact date I first raced it 50 years ago.
