Maybe you can "rent" it to our Aussie friends when they visit the US.

Many many months ago there was some discussion about removal of the Bulldog from the WHq building. Well I FINALLY found a couple pics. The third and fouth ones were posted previously by another person. Enjoy (or cry in your beer).

Snowing here in Canton. Received 5"-6" since this morning. Shoveled the driveway twice.

Econodyne blue? It is to be an EM6 Maxi. Red with chrome?....hmmm, something is amiss.

This is a E6 2 valve (stamped steel valve covers)...

True, 1:1 is a direct straight thru without any gears or loss. Overdrive uses a gear set (drive loss) to obtain a 0.73 or ??? ratio (potentially more wear on gears and bearings). I also agree, you need to run a fast axle ratio (low number) but it does not work very well in hills or off-road. I have a friend who managed a mid-Western fleet and ran 10speed directs because he achieved better fuel mileage

I will! Echo the "thanks for the POTW". I enjoy seeing what you see. As for the Winfall wimmin...well I can't wait for your computer to get fixed. As "tacky" as they are a few wimmin pics add some "color" to the POTW thread. Wine in a jar?

Nice! -
Maybe the trainer was "in training to be a trainer".

Thanks for the information on RED coolant. I knew it is extended life but that is all. Where can I purchase 50/50 red coolant? Since the fleet used RED coolant, is that the reason the coolant conditioner filter was removed from my EM7? Will I do harm if I install a filter?

Dang Mike! Corn and beans must have been good this year!

Brent, Nice engine (and Mack). Been to Chambersburg show at Twin Bridges many years ago when they hosted the International Cockshutt Club. Nice show grounds. I will have to put your show on my 2014 calendar and try to attend.

Red in my EM7-300. Use coolant recommended for a Diesel engine. Coolant color varies by brand and EL (extended life). Your engine should have a coolant conditioner filter in front of the thermostat housing.

FOR SALE 1945 OSHKOSH W906 FACTORY CUMMINS POWER
farmer52 replied to mackb67's topic in Trucks for Sale
As a kid, I remember a few of these plow trucks in PA. It seemed these were put in service after a big snow storm or blizzard. I always thought they were an awesome sight pushing thru big snow drifts. And IIRC, it took two (2) persons to run it. One drove the truck and the other operated the plow. Somewhere I have a B&W photo of one in front of the homestead. I think the PA greenstamp had several of these trucks too. -
MH info....

Yea boy!

Going to look at the CF at 10a today (Friday 13th). Bid is now $4000 and reserve not met. I am out but still going to look at it since it is about 30 miles north of my house in Canton. It is sitting inside at one of their "closed" stations.
-
Excellent! Thanks for the post. Looks like the pic was taken on the "back lot" at the Engineering Center. P.S. Striping scheme might be a nice additon to my MH.

CAT has deeper pockets than Progress Rail...bigger payoff to UP.

Thanks...and don't forget, we are "truckin' sluts" too!

A 850 H.P. John Deere diesel vs. A steam tractor rated 18 H.P. It's all about torque and traction. The steam tractor, weiging much more than the diesel has plenty of traction. And steam engines have lots of torque. In the past, often only a single steam locomotive was needed to pull a long train. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=FLQhvruimfs
