Maybe the lady in this vid could teach us how to shift gears... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq6YbOOVAtQ

I agree. I drive my MH infrequently so I have to "re-learn" how to shift a non-sync tranny each time I drive. In my opinion, the only way to learn to shift correctly is to watch the tach (know your shift points - hi and low rpm) and PRACTICE! Check your clutch adjustment and keep practicing. Like other have said, don't force the shift.

Let me know when you are going to sell your MH. The Cruiseliner is a nice looking truck but I like the MH better.

Excellent night shot. Maybe I should read my camera's manual. 95-100mph....

Hmmm, maybe I will cancel my no-tell hotel reservations and sleep in the trailer. Do they charge to use the facilities? I see there is a $30 fee for camping (self contained). Going to Farm Science Review in London, OH on Tuesday (17) and Wednesday (18). Hoping to find a "deal" on a Honda EU2000i generator. Who is going to attend??? Who is planning to be at the Friday night dinner?

Nice pics. New camera takes very nice quality images.

Nice looking Superliner. Sorry to hear about the situation and my condolences to his family. Reminds us all to be CAREFUL when working on big stuff (little stuff too).

Just follow the black tire marks on the pavement. BTW, earlier this week I saw a friend who works at the Mack Customer Center. Customers want to know about the black tire marks on the hill.

Good news Tom! Hope it makes it home without any issues. Post some pics when it arrives. Give me a call and I will stop by for a look-see. BTW, I sent you a PM.

Wow! Glad wife and dau are okay. Yes, too close!

No, fuel price is too high for a fill up. But I may check it when I go to Gerhart's.

Thanks Leslie. It looks better in the images than in real life. I need to touch up the frame, battery boxes, etc. and polish the tanks and bumper.

Nice vid! Looking forward to seeing it and you in Lititz. PM me details on your GoPro and mount.

Most of the time I use my old rusty but trusty Olympus SP350 (8MP) camera but also have a Canon SX160is (16MP). My BIG fancy shmancy SLR camera is a Canon EOS 7D (18MP). I was told by my camera friend Canon has the best chipset. Camera quality is based on chipset and lens. Although most point-and-shoot cameras are similar quality. I prefer a bigger camera rather than a pocket size. Remember size matters! Good luck with the new one! The results will be the judge. What is the zoom on your new camera (for those hill goats and long distance truck shots)? P.S. You should have bought one with the x-ray feature for those wimmin shots.

Replaced the drain valve on Saturday. I applied some heat (propane torch) to the threaded area. I used my 2' adjustable wrench (didn't have a 1-1/16" open end and too lazy to cut the cable to use a box end but had my pipe wrench handy). I applied a little muscle and I was surprised, the valve came loose without any problem. Installed the new valve. Next week I am going to replace the two (2) valves in the RH tank. Also plan to replace the TT valve and install new lines and gladhands. Off to Tittsburgh this morning for a week long conference.

Congratulations!!

Nice pics! I miss the flat land.

Mike - here is one in your neck of the woods (Iowa). http://screen.yahoo.com/story-2-larrys-tractor-002119832.html Just goes to show friendship and hobbies can cure disease.

I would like to have one like that! Thanks for the pic!

Kiko is usually good about lots of pictures. I too am disappointed in the lack of pics. If I attend (which is iffy), I will take some pics.

Nice pics. Like the COE Dodge...would like to find one in decent condition. It has been years since I attended the Old Threshers Reunion. Looks like it is time to go again! Thanks for posting.

Good luck in your drive home. Post pics when you can.

I didn't have any luck with Grand Rock. I bought pipes from Mack and had them ceramic coated. It has been a year and they still look good. The coating has a lifetime guarantee. The muffler guard and flex pipe are stainless and the extension is chrome. First pic is new, second and third taken this August.

White Motor Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio had a long history of truck manufacturing. On November 1, 1960, White Motor acquired Oliver, changedhe name to Oliver Corporation, and made it a wholly owned, separately operating subsidiary of the White Motor Corporation.[19] White also acquired Cockshutt Farm Equipment of Canada in February, 1962, and it was made a subsidiary of Oliver Corporation. Cockshutt had also previously in 1928, marketed tractors made by Hart-Parr and again from 1934 through the late 1940s, marketed tractors made by Oliver, only changing the paint color to red, and changing the name tags to Cockshutt. Minneapolis-Moline became a wholly owned subsidiary of White Motor Corporation in 1963. The Minneapolis-Moline line was blended into that of Oliver until there was virtually no difference between them. In 1960, the new four-digit tractor models appeared. Among them were the 1600, 1800 and 1900 models. In 1969 White Motor Corporation formed White Farm Equipment Company, almost immediately after a transitional period when virtually identical tractors were marketed under different trade names. A few models were sold as Oliver, Minneapolis, or Cockshutt, the major difference being the paint colour. As the transaction continued, the White name was more and more applied to the tractor line, with the Oliver 2255, also known as the White 2255, being the last purely "Oliver" tractor. With the introduction of the White 4-150 Field Boss in 1974, the White name would be used, henceforth to the exclusion of all others. White Motor Corporation shut down the original Oliver Chilled Plow Works factory (factory no. 1) in 1985. The Oliver buildings remained vacant until 2002 when most were demolished to make way for an industrial park. The Oliver powerhouse is now restored and occupied by Rose Brick & Material Rose Brick & Material
