    Many thanks for that Geoff I know I may have misunderstood you with reguard to the tyre sizes.It seems I will have to go with hub pilot hubs and wheels as 24in tube type tyres are an absolute no no over here.It seems no one will import a small batch and no one is willing to work with split rims.Again many thanks for your help on this issue... Paul

    Quick question are tubeless rims available to replace 24in split rim Dayton spokes? Geoff Weeks and others already know the trouble Im having getting tube type tyres and I think the tubeless route is the only option as changing to hub pilot wheels is just too expensive. Paul

    Dont beat yourself over it Joey.We have a saying over here.."Use it or Lose it" Simply means if you aint done something in a few years you may not remember all the details.No shame in that..... Paul

    Welcome to BMT.Id say your best way to find information is to contact the Mack Historical Society.It'll take a few weeks for them to get back to you but they have most if not all Macks on file.Iv never seen a Mack bus so i'l say its verry cool...More pictures please. Paul

    Sounds like a great place to live to me...Growing up here in Drogheda city we had only one supermarket and loads of small shops selling anything and everything.Now we have 6 supermarket and very few small shops.The staff in the small shops knew all about what they were selling but now you'd be lucky to get a grunt outta the supermarket staff.....the times they are a'changein' to quote a famous singer.....

    Thought about doing just that but I want to be sure with the steers anyway.If the rears blow its a hassle but of the steers blow....well..... I was in contact with a guy today who said army tires in that size should be available but would be very rough rideing.Hes getting me a contact number of a crane hire company who use tires in that size. Paul

  17. cruiseliner64

    Do they still run the steam specials? I love the names of the American Railroads.I really enjoyed working the steam locos,hard dirty work but very enjoyable.Im stood down from it as im over 60 and the health and safety office wont allow over 60s to work them.More pussy foot rules,Men worked them into their 70s back in the day.... Paul

    Is that for one trip into NYC? If it is holy cow.We think 4 dollars into Dublin is a rip off... Paul

    Iv had no luck in finding tires yet Geoff.It seems 24in tube type tires are just not available here in Ireland.Iv made contact with a group who restored a 1933 Dennis fire truck which has 1200/24 tires.They got new tires and tubes for it in Northern Ireland but the company who supplied the tires went out of business.It seems I might have to change to 10 stud hub pilot wheels but thats going to be very expensive.Many thanks for your advice and interest in our problem.. Paul

    Id say he is right..... Paul
  23. cruiseliner64
    Dont know what that is.Its not on our Cruiseliner.Id be very interested to know what it is and what its for... Paul

    A guy who lived just 7 miles from me had one of these trucks.It was a 2 axle and I saw it many times over the years.I dint know where it is now as the guy passed away and his collection was sold off.He told me it was a very simple truck to drive but with just forward and reverse but it would go at the same speed either way....I also drove steam locomotives as I was a volunteer driver with the Railway Preservation Movement here. A Great experience....... Paul
