Great news Mike! See you in Macungie.

Hell ya!

Thanks Vinny! It is my new desktop background.

Sweeping the inside of the trailer today I found an allen wrench and combination padlock (don't know the combination). Does this count?

Moved the rig from in front of the barn to the side. Now I will need to trim some pine trees so I can get out the drive.

I'm with you 2stack!

What a way to ruin a pizza!

Nice U model. I agree, leaving the lettering, etc. would be a plus. But I am sure the "legal beagles" dictate otherwise.

Interesting video...thanks for posting.

Martian rolls? I think not since they stiffed me on the CH612s. I was thinking a big Mack logo, a John Deere logo, and a Cockshutt arrow logo. I should get one of those rear door decals that looks like it is open and shows the front of a MH or farm tractor.

Who is going to the dinner on Friday night?

I will bring it to Macungie and you can do it. It will give you something to do with your hands. Yea I need to take the time and clean all the old grease out of the grooves and underneath.

Work$$$$$ for me! Cash up front.

Vinny - only one way to know. Make sure it is the RH seat...otherwise it might tip to the left.

I get 50% of the sales money - in cash please.

Previous owner was Robb and Stucky Fine Funiture. I was told they went bankrupt.

Black? Not with a Mack!

"Spud Express" I don't want to gloat but I "nailed" it on the first try...beginners luck? Thanks to all the BMT members for their excellent instructions. Watching porn videos on the interweb helped too. It did however take three (3) tries to back it 90 degrees from the narrow side road into the barnyard (there is about 15' between a stump and a block building. I think the stump is going to be history soon. Ken - duh what do I do? Dispatcher - I think you back it up until it stops. Then pull forward about 3 feet and if the trailer does not come unhooked you are good to go. Don't worry about the landing gear and tire skid marks.

No curbs in the country. Just low hanging trees on the road to my farm.

Thanks! I am giving it serious consideration. Another "virgin" experience. I am going to pull it around locally for a few weeks and then decide. So far so good! BTW, I counted at least 25 funiture pads.

First - I found the fifth wheel pivot grease zerks. They were hiding under some old hard grease. I pumped about 10 shots of grease in each one. Hopefully that is enough. Second - the new toy is home! Picked it up at ODFL around 10a. Backed up to the trailer, correct height, backed under it slowly, and there was the sound of the latch locking. Pulled forward and it was tight (best kind). Got out and checked the latch from behind, and it was good. The Dispatcher at ODFL confirmed the hookup. Connected the air lines and electric cable and cranked up the landing gear. Checked the lights and trailer brake. Life is good! PA Trooper showed up and verified the VIN. I will get permanent OH license when I get to Canton this weekend. Nothing like the first time! Pulled it to the farm and backed it in front of the barn. Not sure that is where I will keep it but at least it is home. Driving with the trailer is definitely different than bobtail. Ride is better and braking is smoother.

Nice looking B

So if Volvo dropped the Mack name and branded everything as VOLVO, you would okay with that???

I think the bottle would be too stiff and not seal. But give it a try.
