thats looks to be a tough one when everyone always turned to you for that.

surely ur equipment wont get any smaller? nothin moves big stuff like a lowboy.aj

keep ponderin.............i know what u mean about usin a pintle. we only use lowboy to move the loads that wont go on an elevated trailer so easily. can all ur loads be hauled on trailer w pintle? you know the logical move is to keep killer and add trailer though.................aj

I Proposed to my Girlfriend Sarah of 13 years. I just had to give up as she just would not leave me alone. the old saying if you cant beat them, join them.... ( Atleast thats my story )

We spent newyears out in Galena IL with a few friends and I proposed to her last Friday night in the old Grant Park across the river from downtown Galena. Starting a new Chapter in our life and wanted to share.

Owner of a 78 Mack tow truck and i work it like a dog .

welcome to the site. where are you located in michigan?

The picture is from a B755 parts book. When I looked it up it was also used on a 1993 MR, so you might be able to find one across a number of different chassis. The part number was 24QE1166P1.

here is pic of mine. i suppose there are alot of different makeups depending on year.they dont look too hard to make one if nec.

My little '86 Ranger (complete with 4-banger, 5-speed, 2wd, and 3.08 rear gears) pulled a borrowed 25' flatbed trailer when I moved all of my earthly possessions out of a rented house and into a storage unit. Of course I wasn't wired for trailer brakes, and I had to rig up something that would work with plain wires between the 4-flat on the back of the Ranger to the 7-round on the front of the trailer just to have tail/turn/brake lights. It did pretty well for what it was...

The main thing a lot of people fail to do (and as a result get themselves into the most trouble) is to make the necessary adjustments to their driving in order to compensate for any shortcomings the vehicle may have.

thats a great advantage that truck drivers have over people that only ever drive 4-wheelers------------they probably understand the capabilities of any given vehicle better with their experience behind a vehicle thats capable of hauling a great amount of weight.aj

i have become confused myself trying to figure out the differences in the types of antifreezee available. i wonder if any of this came about when they started making more parts of the engine out of aluminum. we use a "universal" antifreeze at our construction shop that supposedly can be used in all apps. i'll have to check to specs on it. aj

vey sorry for your loss. aj

that is very impressive to see that truck still working.

I know you right Ajt! randyp

ive been to a few trap shootin'-stripper laden-beer drinkin-bachelor parties and i always take the JUDGE wif me. its a big hit.aj

Taurus makes a neat looking .410/45 revolver Tom. I like it cause of the .410 capability. You can buy .410 shells that have a mix of buckshot and small discs. Guess that sounds a lil too gory, I dont want to shoot anybody either, but I guess when it comes to my family, I could mess em up pretty good. randyp

that gun is appropriately named "THE JUDGE".

Welcome back, snow sounds good, wish it would do that here,,,,,,,,,,,,randyp

careful what u wish for! aj

Despite concerted opposition from trucking concerns and a proposed rate freeze, truckers could be about 10% more to use the Ohio Turnpike come the New Year.

our local paper had an article tonight stating this extra revenue was already figured in their budget for next year.

Unfortunately for me AJT, i'll have to say yes. I sent mine out of town back in April and the guy has not returned my e-mail with a reply as of yet. I'd like to fill the original hole in the roof with what looks original.

My Luck

you can have my set of air horns if they are of use to you. here is pic of them. hopefully it attaches allright. send me shipping address if your interested and i will send them right out.

The door tag says 12,800...so I was surprised to find the springs were only rated 12,400. I'm still not going to push any more weight up onto the steers than I have been...

....and the Ranger you've seen pics of is my '92 Ranger. It just had the stock suspension until I took a trip out west and the rear fenders were rubbing on the tire sidewalls...so I added 1500# helper springs for the ride home and solved that problem. The '86 Ranger had (still has...but it ain't on the road at the moment) a MUCH stouter spring setup. I'll have to try to find a pic of that old truck...

...besides this one.

that was nice of you to remove fender so we could see springs better.aj
