    Those were the days...trucks and women! Thanks for posting!

    How about these...there is a MH hiding somewhere in the background, just in case anyone is interested!
  3. farmer52
    Is that a U model with Vinny at the wheel? If so, he will probably run off the side of the road and wreck!

    probably does not have a coolant filter so even more important to check the nitrates. Being a dry sleeved engine it is not as important as wet sleeves but important just the same. Penray has good products (www.penray.com) and are very helpful.

    Make sure the anti-freeze/coolant is formulated for HD Diesel engines. You need to not only be concerned about freeze protection but also hardware protection. You can buy test strips to check coolant "additives" (glycol and nitrates).

    CAT would get my vote, especially a 3408 DITA.

    Any MH parts?
  8. farmer52
    Are you asking about removing the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) or disconnecting the "7th injector"? Disconnecting the "7th injector" and not removing the DPF will result in a plugged DPF. Either one will require an ECM reprogram and likely some sensor changes.

    I think I heard that one before. I would definitely stop and pick her up with my MH!

    Loverly! specially the MH shot.

    Mark - thanks for the advise. Did you get the bushings from Mack? Other areas of linkage wear? My MH has about 800K miles (EM7-300 and T2050).

    I have seen several CAT trucks in central PA. A fleet of CAT yellow dump trucks run Route 22. I see them around Ebensburg. My guess is they are coal buckets. They are always going the opposite direction and the name on the door is too small to read. Smith Transport (my home town of Roaring Spring) has about 10 day cab semis. They were originally painted CAT yellow but repainted in Smith's black. Smith is mostly Fruitliner (DD engines) with some Petes (Cummins engines).

    Occasionally I try to shift my MH without a clutch. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. To me the linkage is the issue. Anyone have thoughts/suggestions?

    There you go Vinny....U2! Go for it!
  15. farmer52
    Vlad - you are correct. The only way you know if it was good or bad is at the end of the day. Either way you try again tomorrow.

    Contact the Mack museum and they may provide prints so you can have them fabricated. As always, a donation to the Museum would be appreciated. Good luck! Another option is to contact Barry at Watts Truck Center. BTW, welcome to BMT!

    I thought you may have missed posting a pic. Thanks! But you really should have stopped and offered assistance. She was in a very dangerous situation. You are starting to give truck drivers a bad image!

    Nice pics and thanks for documenting your travels! Disappointed there were no hitchhiker or seat cover shots.

    1938?

    some days you win break even and some days you are better to just stay in bed!

    This was 47 years ago. April 3, 1965. An amazing prediction. Do you remember the famous ABC radio commentator Paul Harvey? Millions of Americans listened to his programs which were broadcast over 1,200 radio stations nationwide. When you listen to this, remember the commentary was broadcast 47 years ago on April 3, 1965. It's short...less than three minutes. http://stg.do/9LDc Hear anything familiar??????

    Who's up for a road trip? No snakes this time of year (I hope).
  23. farmer52
    Did you get the cereal number?

    Young Men's Christian Association - intended to provide cheap temporary accommodations and resources in urban areas to young boys I stayed at the YMCA in Waterloo, IA many many years ago...I slept with one eye open!

    Nice truck but too much for my wallet.
