    I miss the days when I could buy Mack Standard Red through the Mack parts department for 30 bucks a gallon. I'd buy it by the case. I think it was 4 gallons to the case. It was made by Kirker in Jersey. I wonder how many trucks I'd have to paint without wearing a mask while chain-smoking Camels before I could do the Earl Shibe voice

    Holy Chit. Just for paint? He's out of his mind. I can sand a truck with a DA, mask everything, and spray it any tractor paint color and have it cost me maybe 300 bucks. I should start something like Earl Shibe. I'll paint any truck for $1299,95

    Low gears in the rear, and a double overdrive, and you don't abuse your frame crossmembers like this guy

    I'm not sure. Charlie is gone, he'd be about 110 if he was alive. They were in my uncle's garage but he is gone too and he'd be about 103 if he was still alive. Charlie had a son that was my brother's age, so he's be almost 60 now but I haven't seen him in over 30 years, last I heard he had become a preacher and was living in the Carolinas somewhere. There were some pictures of John (the surviving Battery Brother) with the red 2 cylinder at Macungie online a few years back but I don't remember where, and I haven't heard from him for a couple of years either. He's about the same age as my mom, so he's close to 90 I guess

    Yeah different country, different cultural norms Not to be confused with Staten Island, Staten Island girls have similar hair but have T-Rex arms. It's because of Fresh Kills

    Nice car. My friend Charlie White had one like it only it was green. I really liked that car. The Whites had a farm near me in Bensalem, and they never got rid of anything, They kept a lot of it in beautiful condition. If you have been going to Macungie for a while there used to be a red 1913? IH 2 cylinder high wheeler there almost every year. That was his. He also had a green 1911 Autocar 4 cylinder flatbed. I'm thinking it was maybe like 6 ton capacity. Charlie still used that in the early 60's to haul chickens down to Camden NJ. I asked him how the trip was. He said "Millie had to make dinner late those nights"

    Should be one big one and one smaller one. And there was one that attached to the back of one of the countershafts. I never used any of them but the smaller one myself. Biggest thing I powered was a Commercial Shearing C102 pump. A few mixers but they were off the front of the crank.

    I drove a Louieville with one in it that was a "snooper truck" for going under bridges. 5x4 and a tandem. Here in Northeast Pa, and Northwest Pa is was really really slow

    I've got one one of those but not that clean. Cab isn't bad, but the bed is a bit beat up. Not a rust bucket thank God. 350 4bbl, headers and and an Edelbrock manifold. 600 holly, runs strong. I like those square bodies

    My buddy ran his whole place on a Lister powered light tower generator. Shop equipment too, even a big Monarch lathe and a Bridgeport running on a rotary phase converter. It was only a little 2 cylinder with a 6KW on it. The inertia from the phase converter helped with the motor starts, but the lights still dimmed a bit and the frequency dropped down to like 50 for a few seconds. That little Lister was working, but she took it. As far as I know it still runs. He just used it until he got a PP&L connection

    This one say "Boss" on the manufacturers tag. I'll turn the garage lights on and get a better picture of the air cleaner. It puts out a lot of light, I would think I could add more lights if I switch to LEDs

    I think those are about 14ish HP at 1800, so they probably oversized the engine a bit. Those things can rack up lots of hours so they probably sized t to not be working so hard. I have the same one on a light tower. I have one bad bulb, I was just going to buy 4 LEDs for it. Probably won't be working anywhere near hard then.

    I've never seen an ENDT676 in an R model of that vintage not have a standard Spicer Angle Spring. WTF is a CL75? What does this thing look like? Does it look like this?

    Got to love a supercharger. My girlfriend got given a Buick Regal by her cousin. It was a nice looking car and comfortable but I figured it was going to be a slug. Then I drove it and heard the blower. Boy that thing woke up that little 3.8

    About a 10 KW 1800 RPM gen-set?
