  1. I plan on getting a chrome stallion for the hood.I would get a Bulldog for the hood but its a wheelhorse.there are two reasons why i wanted it straight piped 1. I LOVE how it looks. and 2. I wanted to get more power out of it because i also have a plow for the tractor and when it snows i wanted to plow driveway I figured i could make a buck off of it and i like to work on it also its ALOT cheaper than a Mack B Model.

    Well that is a cool plan

    B)

    along with the exhust I would do some sort of air intake too

    since with the exhust mod there would be more flow going out you need have some air going in.

    since all engines are air pumps

    also may be an ignition mod

    agian some thing I would ask Rob and/or HK Truck and/or Bollweevil on

  2. I knew Rob would know more on the issue of exhust back pressure then I will ever know. I know a little but not enough to pass an A1 ASE.

    I want to know if plan on other mods on the mower or keep it looking stock.

    the stock look is cool

    rims ok mod

    spinners heck no!

    22"s another heck no!!

    Walmart spinner hub caps HECK NO!

    cragers cool yes!! :DB)

    8 ball shifter knob awsome

    flames so over done and over used!

    red always a classic and nice color

    rember there is asuch thing as too much chorme and billit.

    I would ask Rob and Bollweevil for some more things to add to this list of mods.

    Jocko please tell me of your plans, mild or wild

  3. do you know if this will hurt my engine ?

    Well it may if there is an excessive lack of back pressure and may suck an exusht valve or burn it on lean fuel mix. to tell you the truth it is debatalbe with back pressure and exhust on what damage may occur. Also an incorrectly designed exhaust can cause loss of low rpm torque, and a decrease of fuel economy. of couse this is true for larger engines.

    of course this might be true, Reducing exhaust backpressure can improve fuel economy and performance. Reducing restrictions in the exhaust system allows the exhaust to flow more easily so the engine can breathe more efficiently. The most common modification is to replace the stock muffler with a low restriction aftermarket . but for the sake of the enigne I would put glass packs or fart can on it. to tell the truth I would ask Rob on the issue. But for small engine it will not hurt i think.I think some harleys run straight pipe.

  4. HK, thats a point, because the DM's were'nt easy to convert to RHD the R 800 was a more popular choice particularly for hwy use. I dont think any DM 600's landed here. There were no U's, as they were a hwy truck I'm sure and offset cab Macks could'nt be converted to RHD without being silly. We had R 600 RSX's for heavy duty 600's. DM 800's were used for off hwy use and oil field work but the R 800 was the choice, thats what I reckon. Regards Jeffro.

    Wow I have learned something new to day

  5. amen to that

    LL, copying the brain farts from the good ol' boys on some other site won't get you ahead in trucking or any field for that matter. Calling people "illegals" doesn't cut it either- crossing the U.S. border without stopping at Customs is a misdemeanor under federal law, essentially the equivilent of a parking ticket. So if you've ever had a parking or equipment or speeding ticket (and haven't we all), if you're going to call someone who informally crossed the border an "illegal" we're all "illegal"s.
