I think it's a short penis thing.

I must be getting old, 510 sounds like a lot of power in a dump. What kind of power is normal for these fleet operators anymore? Like the ones I see running into that place across the street when it's busy.

How do you like the Paccar engine? Some of those MX13 are like 500 HP aren't they?

Back in the day I used to see them with chains going over to the frame rail to keep from walking. They'd let them walk until they started hitting. For some reason nobody had a multiplier

Damn I'm getting obsolete just like my beloved 1241. And this is for a triaxle? How big of an engine? I'm figuring the 1750 is 17,000 FP input. I guess a 2000 FP engine in low gear in the main box

You know that 8041 box is pretty strong in direct. It's locked straight through so there is no power going through the countershaft. If you put it behind your existing trans, and put it in direct, then just drive it the same way you drive it now. Just use the low when you need it, and if you want to go fast or save fuel, use the overdrive. Just don't beat on it while power is flowing through the countershaft. I repowered a Grove TM250 with a 290 small cam, 9 speed over, and the even lighter 60 something Spicer. It was a gasser and I needed the overdrive because the rears were so low WTF why can't I have that kind of energy now? This getting old thing sucks

What's a 1241 Spicer worth? 5 or 6K? And who knows, it could have a 8041 in it, that is worth 1,000 on a good day. What are you building that you want a 1241 for?

I got about this far in when the damn headache started

1403014.pdf Here is a memo on paying FET on glider kits. Gave me a headache

Well I guess Shaft isn't getting a shiney motor for their loader Over 6 figures and "reserve not met" for a truck that is basically unusable as it sits

Like this damn scam, you always end eating two on slices of bread and feeling ghetto

Lots of stuff in this place too including lines, you have to look around the site https://www.granit-parts.us/e/search?q=injection

Not sure if they have the right stuff or if it's useful without lots of work, but if you wanted to modify injection lines https://cohpro.com/product-category/metal-tube-fittings/diesel-fuel-injection/

Mack used to curse PAI. Called them substandard gray market parts

Back when the 2090 first came out the syncros all failed right away. Then there was a revision of the hub, something about pin angles. I kinda remember something about a 5 degree difference. That was right around the time the V-MAC 1 came out

Yeah I took a quick look too, and without looking hard I came up with that 7,500 number, used were about 3500. And we never heard what was broken, maybe it just has the synchro's knocked out of it

Damn shit is corrosive as hell. Plays hell with stuff like the electrical cabinets, connections, all kinds of stuff. Back around 1990 I worked moving that one for Booty from Penn Terminal to if I remember correctly right behind the brick plant. He bought it from British Steel and it came on a ship to right below Philly. 122 truckloads. All up 309. The boom point was 18 feet wide. Almost all the loads we had to go north up the southbound lanes to get through Tamaqua because north took you up the side of that bar that had the horse on the roof, and then you had to make a hard left

As far as I know the Anthracite King needs a new tub (base). But who knows what else by now

I bought their hazleton shop. New owners now, I never met them. I've been buying off of Pagnotti

What all do you have?

82 80 CI Shovel FXR I've got a buddy that is heavy into Flatheads if you are into old and fast. He held the world record at Bonneville for a bunch of years. I think last time was 180 MPH. He's looking much older too. His shop is about half an hour from here next to Bills Custom Cycles Bill's collection takes up 55,000 SQ feet. For his birthday he had a barrel rider there https://www.billsbikebarn.com/billsbik-VirtualTours-30.htm

Here is something pretty cool. I think they were using a one megawatt 1800 RPM unit here. Voltage is at least 4160. You can see the generator load every time the feet go down. I didn't watch all the parts, but usually lots of greasing going on when they walk them far. Hey @Mark T, How far did they walk the Anthracite King that time? I think it was some crazy distance. I think they told me it was to make the cut for RT81. Anthracite King below
