I think I saw one today in a Pete...twin 8" stove pipe stacks, visor covering half of the windshield, shifter almost to the roof, and driver sitting on the floor.
-
I backed many wagons and equipment on the farm but nothing as difficult as my pup trailer. If you change your mind it goes the other direction.
-
Thanks for posting the pics and welcome back. Hope you are feeling better.
-
It's about time you did some work on the B. Seriously, nice work and keep us posted on the progress. At this rate you should be ready for York. -
For Sale Ex USAF 1957 FWD MM1 Terracruzer
farmer52 replied to General Ike's topic in Other Truck Makes
Nice....it has Yardo's name on it. UPDATE: I just noticed it has a driptroit in it....never mind. -
Thanks for the explanation. I hope you get back to 100% soon so we can see those entertaining educational trip photos. Do you need nurse goodbody to make a house call?

What is the story on the IH fire truck?
-
Hope he is doing okay.

And did the bar have NITs aka Tilted Kilt?

U and R Front Directional Lamps
farmer52 replied to farmer52's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
Hat, Saw Kelly earlier with dress and hose....yum yum! But I digress... I was asking about the U not the B. But watching Kelly I understand. -
Why are the U and R front directional lamps located differently? The U models are about midway on the front fender and the R models are mounted near the front. Signed Curious

1980 Mack U685T on CL
farmer52 replied to farmer52's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
More rust than I like but maybe someone might be interested. Mike - thanks for taking the trip to look at the truck. -
Try changing the fuel filters.
-
If you are not getting white smoke then you are not getting any fuel to the injectors. As previously mentioned, check the fuel shutoff and also check the injection pump rack... moving (not stuck).
-
Is white smoke coming out the exhaust when you crank the engine? If not, you are not getting fuel.
-
Make you think twice about Natural Gas power
farmer52 replied to Back In Black Pulling's topic in Odds and Ends
Wow! I hope no one was seriously injured. It will be interesting to know what started the fire. I am not a supporter of NG as a transportation fuel, just sayin'. BTW Green Dash....I saw a PittOhio NG unit on I-76 the other week. New Fruitliner I think. -

Each day I like my MH more and more. -
I agree with the above, very unlikely to improve fuel mileage. There is no magic fuel mileage solution other than higher BTU fuel and/or removal of fuel injector deposits.
-
What brand oil did you have in the Cummins? Most oils will flow like "honey" at cold temps.
-
Sounds to me like a bad check valve in the system.
-
The first number is the cold or winter number. There is not much difference in the viscosity between 10W and 15W. The best thing to do in the winter (extreme cold) is switch to a full synthetic oil, either a 5W-40 or 10W-30. You may experience some oil consumption with the lighter oils. So check the oil level regularly. It is okay to use 15W-40 during the spring/summer/fall months. Make sure it is a CJ-4 Diesel oil. As for the Cummins...likely a lot of soot causing the thickness.
-
Station wagons have been the "hot item" the past several years.
-
Yea, drag it to the curb and like magic it will disappear overnight.
-
Plug it in and give it a try. If the generator is not big enough, it should trip the circuit breaker. 120V block heaters are in the 800-1500 watt range.
-
That is ONE LONG extension cord! I think the generator would be best. Plug in your battery charger too. Of course the next question is...what is the generator rating?
