Hey Denny...did you spend your birthday in the Mack or Coach?
-
I put the MH in "winter storage" on Friday. Going today to disconnect the batteries and install battery maintainers. It is in an unheated shed so any work this winter will be limited. The trailer is parked at the farm sitting in the "big shed". BTW, the trailer is now furnished....I put some of my late brother's furniture in it until I can make room get it moved into the farm house (which is packed now). No stripper pole but two (2) rocking chairs and a table. No heat so it should be "nippley".
-
If I am connected you will be running it 24 hours. But if I can use your fridge, etc. maybe.

All engines are rated at flywheel per SAE standards. This was/is true for all OEs. I do not know of any OE that advertised "wheel horsepower". Even the automobiles/pickup trucks are engine ratings and not wheel HP.
-
That is why they put the "sticky stuff" in the mix...so the rain does not wash it off as easily. But if they waited until it froze, some AHole would have spun out from driving too fast for conditions. Can't win for losing.

Seems too early to be thinking about Christmas. Saw this article at HDT website. Nice looking Pinnacle. Anyone have more images? http://www.truckinginfo.com/news/story/2013/11/capitol-christmas-tree-is-bound-for-washington-d-c-on-a-mack-pinnacle.aspx?utm_campaign=Headline-News-20131108&utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Enewsletter -
EXCELLENT! Thanks for posting.

Hat...I agree. I read the Harbor Freight generators are made in China and are Honda "knock offs". The local RV dealer has a Dometic (electric start) 2600KW for $799.
-
Buy a small generator to keep the battery charged. For the money, a Harbor Freight portable might be the way to go. I am undecided what to use on my trailer. An Onan RV generator would be ideal but cost is $500-$1000. If you buy a generator, can I park next to you if I bring a LONG extension cord?

Happy Birthday Denny! Have a good one and many more.

What Engine Do I Have?
farmer52 replied to OakleyTankLines's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Your best source is the Mack Museum (link below). Send them or call with your serial number and they will provide you with lots of information including the build/spec sheet. A "nice" donation is appropriate for their work. Takes 6-8 weeks but well worth the wait. http://www.macktrucks.com/default.aspx?pageid=40 Pics of the engine would help with identifying the model. -
Welcome to BMT. Nice Vision...good luck with it.
-
Next summer, come to the "hot bed" of truck shows.....Pennsylvania (Macungie, Gerhart's, Watt's, and Trucktoberfest).
-
Diesel fuel will work but it will "wash off" quicker than oil. I hear many use ATF.

Trip to states
farmer52 replied to 1MACK1's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
If you are interested in trains, visit Strasburg Railroad Museum in Strasburg, PA and to the west is Altoona, PA home of the Horseshoe Curve and there is a railroad museum there too. However the best "bang for the buck" is the Macungie ATCA show and Mack. -
Does this work for V-Mac I?
-
Remember, Tom does not stop for anything...especially Winfall wimmin! Except maybe a free hot dog at the Truck Stop.
-
That took about 5 minutes or did it take you all day to try and locate a snowplow in Miami?

Found Some B Models
farmer52 replied to other dog's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
That is Braydon (sp?) Tucker's place in Lisbon, OH. I think he is a BMT member. -
Thanks! I don't have time nor money to put into the one I own now. It would be a nice addition especially since it has a V8. This would make a nice Christmas present....hint hint.

IIRC, Mack owned a cement mixer company. I believe they made front discharge units. Champion??

Or Stinky...

Trucker Who Struck, Killed AZ Trooper Was Looking At Porn on Facebook
farmer52 replied to fxfymn's topic in Odds and Ends
Wow! Porn or not...too many people are busy with their "mobile devices" to pay attention to their driving. I see it everyday. Too bad for the officer and his family! -
I really wish you all would talk about something other than S-N-O-W! I am ready for April (not to wish my life away).
-
That explains some things!
