Morning Randy. If you need some jugs to package the finished "environmentally generated" lubricant I'd get ahold of Rowdy Rebel. If I remember right he had a whole pickup truck full of them that he got from Tractor Supply.

rhasler, Director of Marketing for randyp Advanced Lubrication Systems Corp. LLC

Well good morning rhasler, I can see right now you would make an excellent personal assistant to follow me round with a clipboard, taking notes, fetching coffee and stuff. I wont require you to wear a dress or shave your legs, so relax, (you aint sitting in my lap on the note taking either, so simmer down). We have to come up with what to do with the "downside" of this weather change, meaning, also stead of hail, we could have tar balls pummeling us! Take a memo,,,"Find use for tarballs". CEO Randy (hope we not gonna have to pay BP a royalty fee)

You'll need to deal with "Momma" on the dump truck as it is actually hers. Didn't start out that way but the way it ended up. I do however, wish you the best of luck, and caution you to wear body armor covering the midsection heavily. She actually carries a photo of that truck in her wallet we we talk "trucks" with the family and such, (no shit). She found no absolutely no humor at all in the attached photo which was a joke that I paid for heavily.

If you are going to run a motor driven beacon you won't need to do anything other than plug it in with a positive ground. The rotating reflector will rotate backwards from design but nobody will know other than you an I and I promise not to tell. On the other hand, if you are planning a strobe tube type, you will need to mount an isolated junction block someplace, then wire a receptacle for a negative ground to power the strobe. Not hard to do at all. Same thing with a vehicle radio that you wouldn't be able to listen too.

Rob

Okay thanks on beacon info, just would feel safer with one, well, i would feel safer knowing maybe i was making it safer for my fellow idiots out there. I really kinda sorta do think if momma were to look really deeply into my eyes, she would just give me that truck, (maybe its kind of a dracula thing). Dammit, I like that truck! Some of my fuel pump, tank, and grease gun stuff posed to be here tommorrow, wish it was today, not working so I could play with it.

Ahem,,if earth gets its rain by water evaporating upwards, forming clouds, wind patterns moving them around, they become heavy laden and release their load,,heh heh,,get your mind out of gutter Mark, then will it may be possible for us to soon begin receiving rain showers of crude oil from gulf? If so, i am putting life savings ($42.13) towards purchase of numerous rain barrels, or as case may be, crude oil barrels. I am working in my lab on a machine to refine aforementioned oil into diesel fuel, will call it something catchy like ummm,,,Biodiesel generator! If any investors want on board now, notify me and get your money to me really quick before next board meeting. This country was born and built by pioneering geniuses like me. This may be why they measure oil in "barrels". Advanced lubricationist and pioneer Randy

I hauled 630 tons of clean fill sand with that old girl when I was building my shop in 2000. I'm really not afraid to use her at all.

Get a lot of "rubbernecking" and "thumbs up" when I drive through town.

Rob

I dont know why but you feel like your accomplishing something or provving something when you actually work with something like that, kinda like going back in time or something. Its raining like hell here tis morning (4:30 a.m.) SOMETHING,,there, I typed it again. I wont be in gravel pit today. Whilst you be here Rob, I want to put a magnetic warning beacon on top of Killer B, found a lil round one I like at Northern Tool. I just want to plug it in power socket in cab, gotta put that in also. Killer is positive ground, how do I need to wire that up so magnetic fluxuations will be molecularly aligned? Im not required to have one, not overwidth or overweight, but do a lot of backing off highway, u-turns, wierd shit, etc. I always turn 4 way flasher on at aforementioned goofy times, but would feel better with a lil flashy yellow dingy too. Electrical engineer Randy If I pm you as mentioned before, will you also send me that dump truck? pweese? You should see my eyes now, theyre all big and kinda drippy, doe looking

I got one of those "hot seat hero" stories also:

Back in 2004 a friend of mine was building a new convienience store gas station. Out back of the new building was a large amount of dirt that was excavated for the footings, tanks, approaches, etc. This was free for my taking as I needed the clean fill. I had my old trusty A40 dump truck out there with it's 401 gas, five speed main with three speed brownie backing into the pit where they could load from above. As I was backing into position a guy in a new KW, (I think a T800) tandem dumper with a much larger bed cut me off to get in there first. I backed in beside him not thinking too much about it. The driver being a known smartass to everyone except me, rolls down the window and says something like he would never make any money driving a piece of junk like that, (meaning my truck). Now he was being loaded by an CAT 325, or 345 excavator, and I by a Deere loader dozer. After three buckets he was full while I was still waiting. When he was full, he yells something like "I'll be back before you leave", then proceeded to rev the engine, out with the clutch promptly dispatching the driveline there in the dirt with a loud bang. About that time I was full and with the transmissions both in low, crawled out of the loading zone and went about my business. When I got back to the zone they were pulling the truck out with the dozer that loaded me. I backed in again and got loaded with two full scoops from the excavator to be full. I also did another nine loads on the day following this ordeal. The other truck was gone the next morning and the loader told me he busted a yoke on the back of the transmission.

I hauled a total of 21 loads that day and each was as full as the photo. The photo is of load number 20.

Rob

heh heh,,thats what im talking bout Rob, LOL, I like that term "Hot Seat Hero" Podiatrist Randy

Manbag huh? i knew from the get-go you was about half a bubble off plumb! LOL! really like to see someone "work" a B-model,thats what they were made for! that is a good looking truck! i agree with you though, about the heat and no muffler! i sweated my A** off many summer on our farm, was "deef" by the end of the day! but i would'nt trade it for anything! cept' maybe a good riker muffler! LOL! anyway,hope you make a ton of $$$$$$$ out there,and as always don't work too hard!............executive fashion consultant Mark

Mark, if you really were a "fashion consultant" you would have bragged on my attire! Dammit to hell, ya cant claim the title till you earn it! Now go learn how to dress yourself,,heh heh,,District Attorney Randy

Naw, my formal title is "Assholiness" but I don't go by that too often. Rob usually suffices as it means the same to me. I've spoken with Kaufman a couple of times and they are very willing to build what I want. I did think I was being a bit picky at first when I started looking at trailers but I'm pretty set in what I want so this may be the way to go. I'm thinking of having a channel beam for the front of the trailer rolled to a 4.25ft radius and send to Kaufman direct and let them weld everything together to where I'd just pick it up. Wanting to use the B67 for the pulling unit and it has the concave cab so this would go nice and wouldn't be out of place with an R model either. I have a spare 20,000# hydraulic winch and pto/pump unit. I plan to mount the winch in the nose with a deck roller at the transition from the upper to lower deck slope to not chafe the cable. Not really looked into the total cost with suspension and all, so don't know how the final cost will shake out. The key is to stay below the absolute maximum of 45' total length so I can park inside.

Rob

Sounds like a good plan,,,Design engineer Randy

I just blew up the first photo to get a good look at the truck and I must say I'm quite dissapointed. I see the ugly mug standing next to a beautiful truck and the first thought that comes to mind is "Damn!! I've seen better faces on iodine bottles"!! I then notice the emblem on the side of the hood is incomplete and only says "Thermod". Now this is in no way appropriate and that truck deserves better. It treats you right ,and you should reciprocate accordingly.

Think I may have a complete emblem I could send you, or if you have the broken parts of your original I can repair it.

PM me your address.

Rob

Thanks Rob, will get with you on the emblem, dont have broken piece, it came that way. (gotta figure out how to PM, Im so embarrased! Blushing Randy

Randy, Looks like the perfect size dozer for most jobs. The B looks happy getting photographed with owner and likes to work also keeping both healthy.

Thanks Mike, I wouldnt run nothing but Mack and Komatsu. Komatsu is 105 H.P., one handled steering and direction control, has a 6 cyl. cummins and really is a stout machine! It weighs lil over 26,000 lbs. You can angle blade, so dont have to permit it, thats a big plus, so its easy to load and make fast moves. it dont bother me at all to move on one day jobs, load back up and head home. Im a lil shocked you didnt comment on sexy shorts and chicken legs. heh heh,,,thats just the best way to try to stay cool. Have a safe day,,,Former Hanes underwear model Randy

Keep up tha good work!

mike

I ran across this picture in the random images gallery a few days ago, but I didn't pay aattention to whose picture it was. I modified it slightly and set it up as the desktop background on my work computer. Looks real nice.

After I saw your pictures I thought it might have been the "Killer B" (nice choice of names) but I don't see it in your gallery, is it yours.

Hi Rhasler, no, thats not mine. Thats a good picture though. heh heh,,,you better ask Rob about something on mine he noticed, I should say Forensic detective Rob, He blew one of killer Bs pictures and noticed I had the dyne broke off of thermodyne one the right side. He is absolutely correct (as usual). However, He has offered to help me remedy that. A good while back I was on some web site and saw it for sale, it was $200.00, so I decided then to just let it go, however, Rob said that is very unmannerly. I bought truck through Dennis Mehan in Cairo, New York, Old Macks.com, and bought it sight unseen except for pictures, I think a guy in Pennsyvania restored it and he did an outstanding job. So far, it performs maybe 2 or 3 times weekly and hasnt missed a beat, really a joy to drive. Earlier this summer, a landowner hired my dozer and another guys dozer cause he needed a large pool dam done as quickly as possible, (he didnt mind paying double per hour, I guess). Anyway, other guy had 850 john deere, pulling it with an older tandem axle Kenworth, he arrived bout 30 minutes ahead of me, it was kind of a bad place to get in off highway, lil steep and tad bit loose gravel. He met me at road and advised me he couldnt make it up and had to back down and unload off side of highway. I got out, looked at it and said I think I can pull that. He laughed real hard, and said well have it "Single Axle Einstein". heh heh,,,Killer B eased up it in low gear, never spun a tire, just bellered real hard. When I got out to unload, (we dont get along real amicable anyway), I told him he probably could have pulled it if he learned a little bout "throttle control". I wasnt there, but I think he probably ran at it like he was storming Normandy Beach. LOL, needless to say, we were even less amicable after that. (he didnt run a dozer any better that he drove a truck that day either) Oh well, shit happens,,,have a good day and be safe,,Neruosurgen Randy

What???? As passive and sedate as I am with people and their personal ways of life of no concern to me, I'd be expected to say something less than 100% positive of someone's preferred attire? You must be thinking of the wrong person. Why I hold the coveted "esscence of wholesomness" award that has been bestowed upon me. With such credentials, how could I be negative?

How do you like that Kaufman trailer? I've been thinking of purchasing one because I'm getting tired of looking at overpriced used junk!! What would you do different?

Rob

Rob, i do quite believe in your case you misspelled wholesomeness, it should be "Holesomeness". heh heh. I ordered that trailer new, shipped from Nebraska. Its really kinda custom designed, in a way. The one I was looking at online sloped all the way to the front, so you could actually load something over axle. I wanted it built "open necked" cause killer B is a little short and didnt wanna be worried bout getting corner of trailer into cab at some of these "God forsaken" out of the way places I have to get myself in and out of. I shopped for a used lowboy for a long time, and all I fouond was high priced used junk, needing floors, tires, brakes,,etc. I would have to check but I believe I got it delivered for somewhere round $14,500.00. I have had no problems whatsoever, has huge main beams and is heavily cross braced, I would highly reccomend it! Excavator or dozer doesnt even wiggle it and tracks really straight. Its rated 25 tons. Wella, anyway, just came in for lunch, gotta get back out there and attack "Porkchop Hill". Thanks all for comments,,,Gynecologist Randy

Ya...... I know it.....can't leave and go eat lunch, sumpin happens on here.

mike

I do my mature best when your not here Mike to keep em under control, but Hell. I give up! We may need to send em all to ettiquette training, and make other dog stand with his nose in corner, stead of at the "Y". Quantum Physics Engineer Randy

Man randy, that is one fine thermodyne! Looks like new tires on the rear? I especially like the way your gloves match the colors of the truck.

Hi Rhasler, Yeah, when you only got one axle doing the pulling , you better keep it knee deep in tread. Im glad you like my gloves, I guess you didnt realize how fashion oriented I was. My wife always either checks on me regularly on cell phone or comes out to see if Im really doing anything. I took my "man bag" off for the picture, didnt want to upset Rob. He might would have liked it though, a beautiful mauve color with sequins. heh heh (just kidding). If Im doing much with my hands, have to keep them covered up, take so many blood thinners, the tiniest little scratch, and Im digging in first aid kitwhile holding ice on it looking for bandaid, hell, a paper cut can look like major surgery. I work by myself so I guess she thinks she needs to keep an eye on me. Thanks for comment on truck, I really do like driving it, I didnt do it, but its been rebuilt from ground up, nice and tight, no leaks, just neeeds a muffler, cause it do wanna beller when loaded. Its got a 10 speed 2 stick duplex in it, you could also cook a ham in it here in the summer. Yeah Mackmann, she took several pictures, but post will only let me do a couple at a time, will post some more as I take "porkchop hill." Well, better go slurp coffee and have "pill" sandwich, get ready to move excavator. Yall have a good , safe day. Embassy Guard Randy

heres a couple more

Well, got up at 4:15 this morning, slurped coffee, took 4 lbs. heart medicine, drove out to yard and changed oil in dozer, new air filter, fuel filter and a good greasing. I loaded it up on Killer B and took it to an old gravel and clay hill I havent worked since last summer. A customer called me and wanted 25 or 30 loads, I priced it kinda high, wasnt too anxious to re-open old pit anyway, had a lot of washouts in it, but he said get it as soon as possible and he would probably have me haul after that till he ran out of budget. Well Hell, think I will just see how big his wallet is! It will smell better than dairy lagoon anyway, only bout a 12 mile haul too. You may need to get your ass down here and help me Mackmann. Im gonna move excavator earlly in morning and it, me and old R-model are gonna wreak havoc in side of that hill. I cant end a post without a heh heh and "It was hot as hell here today!' Dirt Doctor Randy M.D. D.A. B.S. (or dirty doctor)

I looked really close but didn't see a chain box on the Mack containing the utincils for pulling that blue thing out of the way.

Suppose you've not owned the truck long enough to properly outfit it yet?

Rob

Just a wondering, (as i often do) you mind ifn I borrow that for my next "lagoon" contract? It looks to me like it would really hold a good shitload of lagoon material and if you got it good and waxed up smooth, you shouldnt have much trouble cleaning it up when im through. Let me know when your ready to bring it to texas, and will give you directions to my house, (may be low on fuel, so be sure and deliver it full and ready to work, that will need to be part of the deal too) Witch Doctor Randy

Got home for a 3 day weekend, usually try and get my truck cleaned up inside and out, my boy will normally lend a hand with the vacuuming/ making up the bunk,this usually only requires a "bribe" of going to dairy queen for a treat when done, but, today, went in the house for a few minutes thinking he was hard at work,but when i returned did'nt hear any "action" going on in the truck! this was the result! get what ya' pay for i guess!...LOL!............Mark

I struggled as to whether or not to post this, then decided "just do it!" This is a copy of an e-mail Bill sent to me-we can help. Have you ever looked at his website,read his stories?

Hi Tom;

I was just looking over the Mack Forum on the internet and found your entry under stories. I see that you got a good response. If you want another entry subject you could enter my newest page “MORE TRUCKING FROM AUSTRALIA”.

--- http://www.thedieselgypsy.com/Australia%20Random%20subjects.htm ---

You can title it “MACK ATTACK, OR WAS IT ATTACK A MACK”. Check it out and post it if you wish. It may show some interest on a Mack Forum, right? Ha-ha.

Murt is not doing too well these days; she had to go to the hospital for 4 days. She had 3 bags of blood while there. I don’t get any chance to communicate with anyone lately because of the way things have been happening around here.

I’ll give you a call when I get the chance. In the meantime you take care; drive safe……… Old Bill.

preciate info and will go check website out and help if I can,,,bantam weight champ randy

You will like having both of the items as I do mine. All of my stuff is air powered because I really don't get out of the shop much but they are used often. I don't have a mobil fuel transfer pump as having equipment fueled is just a phone call away. I do OCCASIONALLY run out of fuel in a truck or two however.......

When you say a continuous flow grease gun do you mean the hand held type, or the type that attached to a 120 pound drum? I have both and use the drum type mostly because it has 25' of hose and gets where you need it with 5000# of pressure. Lots of zerks on both trucks and equipment. Really can tire an arm or two out quick to take care of everything.

I went to high school in Waco for about a year and a half and still get into that country ever couple of years to visit friends. Been to the truck show at Tye when attending job training in OKC twice, but nothing is on the table there this year.

Retired at 56 eh?? I've been eligible for five years today for retirement. Although my physical bulk doesn't reflect it, I'm too young at 50 to draw on a pension solely, and exist.

Funny you should mention hot dogs. Momma is away with her momma fixxing me up some homade chilli injected super dogs, (our name) wrapped in fried grits instead of a bun for the holiday. I can eat about a dozen of em but then can't really move too easy for about an hour or so. Couple of hours later we can begin our "contest" to see who can sound off the loudest, longest, and permeate the surrounding air with the most pungent smells known to mankind. I think by the time all three of us get to going, the room odor is akin to a public latrine without air conditioning on a 90 degree day with heavy traffic.

Going to be gone the balance of the weekend to meet up with family and hopefully bring another truck home to replace my existing yard crane. Ole "Fred" is tired and deserving of retirement himself. After serving me faithfully for 25 years, he has "earned" his rest.

Have a happy, safe holiday everybody.

Rob

Rob, its the handheld lincoln grease gun that takes cartridges, if you hold trigger down, it continues to pump. I will hook it into the air on killer b or the dump truck. I will probably mostly grease when im gathered at yard anyway, however, I had a thought on those hot dogs you mentioned, if you could send me enough of those, I could just get good and gassed up and stick air supply hose up my ass and really get some greasing done! May get 8 or 9 thousand lbs. line pressure out of that,(if i get a good seal). Im bout 4 hours from waco, ever return, let me know and will buy your lunch. Happy 4th,,,,Safety Officer Randy
