This thread got me to looking closer at my little bit of paradise here on the eastern end of L.I.. Most of the NAPA parts stores are out of business, most all auto wrecking yards are closed due to local laws. The farms around me sell land to keep afloat nd than get there acreage taxed at the same rate as the "developed" land. The powers the be won't let a rail /truck freight line be build were the R.R. and I 495 are only 1/4 mile apart. Gas stations are closing because of unmeetable local requirements for spill containment. Grummans / U.S. Navy property was slated to be keep as a manufacturing site and now is going to be cleared to be a park. Is it this way all over or is it just here? Paul

To fellow NYers, Afte a long day at DMV I got a maybe and an I don't see why not. for Historical trailer tags. The large,angry clerk said they issue antique tags for antique camper trailers and boat trailer combos,your Trailer Moblie is the same right?. I see a light...............

Look at the back of the photo..shes got a gun in his back......................

Bet he had an obummer tee shirt on too

Try to buy a neckers knob!!! Found one at HO PENN the Cat Dealer her. Nobody knew what it was for...... My oldest son went to Home Depot answering and ad for a Tool Dept sales "person" Eventhough he's worked with ctools most of his life and has been around them his entire life he was not qualified. They didn't want somebody who could sell you the tool and tell you how to use it,or which was best for your needs. They required a degree in marketing! "can't tell you what it is for or how to use it,but I can tell you they have a good advertising dept"...........Oh yeah do you want fries too?"

I have NYS Historical tags on my 1969 DM. Has anyone have or heard of that type of tag on an antique trailer? I have a chance to purchase 1962 Trailermobile Moving Van from fellow ATHS member. I'd eventually use it when I convert my mixer to a tractor. The DMV told me they have no idea, Albany told me to go to local DMV..... Paul

Thats for when the snow flies and its cold out. My garage has minimal heat so most of the time that would normally be spent on the real units are spend fiddling with smaller ones. Paul

When I was in high school I worked at my uncles gas station, one customer had a 1930 Rolls Royce right hand drive left hand shift. I moved it once and I'm still traumatized 40 plus years later.......

Like both of the Jimmies. Here is one of my favorites I built. Paul

Under the video is Boyer Construction Truck. Boyer is / was in the Boston area working on the big dig. Paul

Low oil level or low oil pressure will also cause a no start on some systems. Paul

Well at least they have a good teacher.........

November can't get here fast enough!! I want my country back!!!

Thanks!! its now on my front door. Paul

It's not just Mack or dealers. (Although I had to wait 2 weeks for rocker cover gasket for my DM). It is computers. Parts countermen used to have hands on knowledge of what they sold,most were floor mechanics who moved to the parts room. Now you move from fast food to parts. Add in bean counters who look only at what moves the fastest and that is most of the problem. We had a few real auto part stores here,Napa and Devo both who used not only computers but REAL CATOLOGS!!! Both out of business. I spent the better part of Monday trying to buy a dozen 1/2 i.d. star washers The new parts stores had no idea what it was because it wasn't in the computer (plus I think last week the counter help was working at Mac Donalds) I went to the Mack dealer...after showing what a star washer was.....I heard the phrase " It's not in the computer, whats it for?" "It's for the ground straps on a 1969 Mach DM" "we don't stock any parts for that old a truck" "than look it up for a 2009 Mack." "whats it for?" Well long story short...I pointed to the Bowmen cabinet and said there are the washers I need on the top rack, I left without them ,I couldn't be billed because they weren't in the computer......... but hey do you want fries with that??

Grand kids bought one and swapped the battery pack from one of their R/C cars and upped the power.....sure stings

The Alamo It was March 6, 1836, and on that fateful day, Davy Crockett woke up and rose from his bunk on the main floor of the Alamo. He then walked up to the observation post along the west wall of this fort. William B. Travis and Jim Bowie were already there, looking out over the top of the wall. These three great men gazed at the hordes of Mexicans moving steadily toward them. With a puzzled look on his face, Crockett turned to Bowie and said......... "Jim, are we having some landscaping done today?"

I would measure from spring to rebound stop mount on both sides to see if it is a weak spring. (assuming it is not chassis twist). I'd also look for worn spring shackle bushings and or a broken leaf for starters. Had a similar problem on my DM and it was a combo of worn spring bushings and a broken leaf behind one of the spring clamps. Paul

Fresh from my inbox!! Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim terrorists are so quick to commit suicide. Let's see now... No Christmas, No television, No cheerleaders, No Nude Women, No car races, No football, No soccer, No pork BBQ, No hot dogs, No burgers, No chocolate chip cookies, No lobster, No nachos, No Beer nuts, No alcohol, No Beer !!!!!!!! Rags for clothes and towels for hats. Constant wailing from the guy next-door because he's sick and there are no doctors. Constant wailing from the guy in the tower. On your knees facing east most of the day. More than one wife. You can't shave. Your wives can't shave.. You can't shower to wash off the smell of donkey cooked over burning camel dung. Your bride is picked by someone else. She smells just like your donkey. Then they tell you that when you die it all gets better! I mean, really, is there a mystery here?

Do you have a picture and part number/ maker. I'm at Hersey for the fall meet every year and am loooking for a lot AC parts Not a big deal to add your monmeter on the look for list.. Paul

Radios are a fixed ground. A positive ground will not work in a negative system. The radio I got for myDM at Radio Shack had a positive ground / negative ground switch on it. Paul

GEE and I even gave it a 1941 Chevy Fog light too...........

I never knew Mack ran the Hall Scoots in the B models . Thanks for the link and new knowlrdge. Paul

I got her a Riding-lawn mower and she still complains. My wife has always wanted a riding lawn mower. She works all day and was always tired when she came home from work and thought that a riding lawn mower would help her get the yard work done quicker so she would have more time for the chores inside the house. So, being the handy sort of guy that I am, I made her a riding lawn mower. I guess I thought she would squeal with delight or something and give me a big hug. To this day I have never been able to understand why some women are so hard to please.
