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

Thanks for the reply. After giving it some thought, pipe threads are "self sealing" so a penetrant would likely not work. As for the easy out, a standard one will work since it relies on a straight hole to grip the inside of the treaded fitting. I am going to try some heat on the valve before I wrench on it. If I get it out I may need to chase the threads with a 1/4" pipe tap.

Chrome Depot is a store for Grand Rock.

Nice looking superdog. The background looks like Gerhart's.

Hey JT...stretch that bad boy General and make a 4 door.

Why hasn't anyone asked about the stripper pole? That was one of the first questions asked about my trailer!

Each week I start the MH to charge the batteries and move it. After shutdown I always drain the moisture from the air tanks. Well today after I pulled the cable on the LH tank and released the cable, I could hear air continue to leak. I pulled and released the cable several times thinking the drain valve was either sticking or a piece of dirt was keeping the valve from seating. No luck. I looked at the valve and it is rusty. I got my can of PB Blaster and sprayed on the threads. Bubbles formed around the threads. Maybe that is why my air is leaking down so fast (but I previously never heard an air leak). Some questions: 1. Can PB Blaster be used to free pipe fittings? 2. Are the tank threads rusted and need a new tank too? 3. If the valve breaks off, do they make an "easy out" for pipe threads?

Shouldn't as long as it is on wheels and not on a permanent foundation.

Dang....I'm impressed! Nice explanation.

Can I be your assistant?

Dang...Wouldn't you know, something like this shows up after I buy my trailer.
