The wife and I plan to stop by on Friday around noon and spend a couple hours. Then we will be on our way to Fogelsville, PA and Trucktoberfest. Hope you have a great show!
-
Jody and I will be arriving from Winchester late Friday afternoon. We plan to be there unless there are issues.....see ya!

It was at Gerhart's last year (2013), maybe it will be there this year.

No ditches. Topography is too rolling. There are culverts in the low areas to let the water run from one side of the road to the other. Every couple years the state and township highway departments will use a motor grader and "shape" the berm. Now that I think about it, I do not know of anyone in the area with a "ditch" in their yard. I forgot to mention, most of the corn was about 10' tall. The chopper operator had a difficult time seeing over the top of the stalks.

John Deere 840

Nice 840! I only seen a few of these and maybe one or two in person. We talk about driving old trucks without creature comforts. Can you imagine using this to move dirt all day? Do you have a scraper for this? -
Mack color codes?
farmer52 replied to Bigdogtrucker's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
I think the museum would know the color for the code. -

Send a note to the museum unless someone on BMT has the answer. -
Rob, I prefer the standing corn....more privacy (I can take a wizz in back of the barn ), less wind, and quieter. Now that the corn is gone, more debris (corn leaves) will be blowing into the yard. FYI, the farmer is going to no till wheat this fall and then will go alfalfa.

Hours vs miles?
farmer52 replied to Bigdogtrucker's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I always used the following formula as a good rule of thumb... Highway vehicle: miles / 50mph = hours (hours x 50mph = miles) Off-Highway vehicle: hours x 30mph = miles (miles / 30mph = hours) -
Mike, Yes and a Sterling too. However they do have a Mack CH (it is following the FL).

Posting some before and after pics of green corn harvest at the PA farm. It was an overcast day. The chopper cuts about a 30' swath and blows the material (corn silage) into the truck. The header on the chopper has rotary cutters so the operator does not need to follow the rows. The silage is fed to dairy cattle for milk production. The farmer that rents my farm is one of two large milk producers in the area.

Central PA Macks

I posted this Superliner owned by J.H.Russell in the Superliner pic thread. Also a pic of an RD(?) at a work site about a mile from the PA farm.

Some Superliner Pics.
farmer52 replied to jackb61sx's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Local PA company...J.H.Russell. Still has a couple in service. I have a video of it running but cannot upload (too big).
-
Nice pics as usual. Nice to see other parts of this country. 'specially like the MH. BTW, good to see a female driver not "airing it out".

welcome

FOR SALE MB600, ready for a new owner, make offer
farmer52 replied to rsb502's topic in Trucks for Sale
Pics of the interior? How difficult to get parts for the cab (compared to a MH)? -
Doug, I am back in OH and saw the latest issue of Double Clutch. I am ready to send in my ballot but have a question. How many "seats" are open? The ballot states "vote for up to 4 people". I'm confused which does not take much these days.

Keith, Internet Explorer version 11 (your web browser) and by chance Windows 8 or 8.1?
-
Keith, Are you using IE11? I am and cannot paste links nor quote.
-
Denny, If you get back there, pick up a card for me and I will reimburse you at Gerhart's. TIA
-
I think some of these places get their "jollies" by the interest but have no intention of selling to a private individual.

No mice in the heater box under the passenger seat. I looked there to make sure there was no nest. I did see a few turds inside the center dash when I replaced the valve. I use a regular trap with peanut butter in the farmhouse basement. Worth a try. Wonder how the combination of moth balls, cab fresh pine, Downy, and peanut butter smells?
-
Checked this moring...so far no varmits in the traps. I bought some Downy sheets and spread generously about the cab, sleeper, and trailer. Now it smells like a whore house at Christmas. And don't ask me how I know how one smells. BTW, I learned a chipmonk/ground squirrel can't swim. One was in the down spout this morning. I blocked it off and poured water down the spout.

Diesel Nationals at Englishtown Raceway Park
farmer52 replied to JTFormula's topic in Truck Shows and Events
If it's only 30 miles...worth a drive with the General. -
Reminds me...back in the day when I worked at the CAT house in Pioria...some of the secretaries knew how to type...the rest were just huntin' peckers.
