  1. The sides on them run in a rail outside of the trailer rubrail, so it must be about 2" extra on each side.

    Joe is indeed a very nice guy- he told me "I'm buying this time, git whatever you want, long as it ain't over $4"...so I had a glass of water and a toothpick.

    uh...OK-

    Absolutely- you've got to at least get a piece of them!..4 wheelers that cut you off that is, not necessarily chunky wimmens.

  2. I have pictures of myself Riding on the fender of 1070 Case @ age 2 or 3 w/ my pop & also sitting in the operators seat & @ the controls 480C Case Backhoe @ age 3 or 4 w/ my buddy "grave digger" (like family to me) beside the backhoe & I knew what lever & pedal did what . they turned me loose @ the controls about 4 or 5 yrs old .

    Pop & his crew (farm & excavation) turned me loose @ the controls by myself the time I was 6or 7 yrs old (with someone nearby of course). They had me taking trees down w/ excavators & crawler loaders by the time I was 10 or 11 . Hell I had the driving pretty well down by age 10 cause I was raised on a farm & had a hardship license by the time I was 14.

  3. HMM That's an idear right there I wonder if my Landlord would let me move a trailer like this on an empty RV LOT Here a couple lots down from where I currently live here in the trailerhood .

    Got plenty of buddies w/ day cab tractors I could get a 53' dry box trailer in on the lot easy & I live on a corner & I can back a 1 ton Ford & 1 ton Dodge w/ 25' tire trailer & still have room so I know a 53' trailer will fit in here plus id have 15 more feet to live in as I live in a 12' x40' 1 bedroom trailer .

    it would be my luck my bosses would want the tires off the trailer for recaps & take the virgin tire & replace them w/ caps .... :loldude:

  4. What The Hell Happened to this poor Louisville Style Ford ?

    I think the truck was used on tv myth busters.

    But now that Marcel said that . That makes sense cause I remember watching a episode of myth busters @ my brothers house w/ a L-8000 OR L-9000 Ford Dump Bucket . in the episode . Sounded like Cummins or Cat motor in the truck that was used in myth busters

    @ Least they didn't blow the Ford up like they they did The Western R Model Mack Mixer THAT JUST PISSED ME OFF & I Was cussing so loud my brothers neighbors a 1/4 to 1/2 a mile down the road could hear me . I wanted to choke the life out of both of them For that stunt to say it politely.

  5. Nice find & pics there Jake . :twothumbsup:

    There are 2 words that I don't like to hear in the same sentence . It's almost like using cuss words : MACK & DETROIT .

    Yes I was raised on both BUT I never liked the combination together . I was & always will be a pure breed Mack man .

    I Believe Roadway Used U Models w/ 6V92 Detroits in them & I remember quite a few running around Memphis back in the day . this wouldn't happen to be 1 of them would it ?

    :mack1:

  6. Are you talking about Jordan that had a pit over there off of Goodman Road between Olive Branch and Southaven? If I remember correctly, that truck used to be white with a red Ox bed, then it got painted a teal green with a black bed? It was pretty sharp.

    Yup Jake that's it we used to haul out of Jordan's when we had job in that area .

    its been awhile since I've seen the truck so its possible Jordan has repainted the truck . I always liked that truck .

  7. Yw Ive been told my friends & family I have became a gym rat because if im not working or @ home im @ my 2nd home (the gym) on days I don't have much to do (mainly winter) I can spend hours in the gym . I spent 6 hours in the gym 1 day a few days before Christmas 2012 & the Excutive director over the local Millington Branch YMCA Of Memphis & the Mid South told Me laughing & shaking his head quote " GO HOME BEFORE I HAVE TO PUT YOU ON THE PAY ROLL !!"

    Guess im just determined never go back where I was . ;)

    I usually do 2 hours a day 6 days a week in the gym myself .

    I dropped the Truck I drive for a buddy of mine back @ the shop round 7am Wednesday morning after making a early morning run .

    1st thing out of the Boss mouth was "Son you going to the gym before going home ? " Told him "yup have I got that predicable ?" he said " yeah everytime I call you I hear weights slamming . " Guess everybody in my daily life knows my routine anymore lol :rolleyes:B)

  8. Personally im not a John Deere Man when it comes to farm equipment (A Yellow deere is another story) but I have oprated them for friends . all my family had was J.I.Case & IH (before the merger) & A handful of AC Traactors & a couple Gleaner combines (sardine can on wheels :loldude:) when I came along .

    They ran JD Before my time but they had a 4620 they bought about 1971 or 1972 that stayed in the shop more than it did in the field . it gave them nothing but trouble & pop said the dealer here didn't want to do nothing about the continuing problem w/ the Hydraulic pump so they replaced it w/ a 1370 Case .

    But I've never seen or herd a John Deere Farm tractor w/ a 238 (671) Detroit in it . I Bet you would be saying "WHAT YOU SAY ? I CANT HEAR YOU !! " Even a quit conversation w/ a loved 1 @ the end of the day ... :loldude:

    I Like a 2 stroke Detroit myself made a good living w/ a 238 , 353 ,371, 453, 471, 6V92 & 318 but im finding myself to liking a 4 stroke motor more & more as I get older . they are so much more quiet

    (GOD DID I JUST SAY THAT? WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM ? :loldude: ) it could be cause im 38 yrs old & say WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY ? after all those years of Straight piping the Detroit's that was in the equipment . ;) I had better sense than to straight pipe the trucks w/ Detroits in them as I didn't want the DOT Jacking w/ me no more than they already did @ times .

  9. This truck is in Wynne ,AR. which about an hour & half West of Me . Eastern Arkansas has a lot of Rice fields so yes my guess is this Western R Model was set up for Agricultural work possibly in the rice fields .

    as I have seen this kind of setup before on farm trucks w/ floats on the steer axle & super singles on the drives in Arkansas & Ms deltas .

    & yes I agree this truck should not be exported .

    :mack1: :

  10. Yeah the Western stuff never really took hold in TN it was mostly east coast Macks here.

    Ya I was told by a retired Salesman for Tri State Mack who I see @ the gym 3 days a week, for along time they couldn't get a new Western Mack here for a number of years . he said for along time that the Western Mack's was restricted to the Western States .

    But I know as soon as they did JTW Trucking was 1 of the 1st companies here in the Mid South Area to have a SuperDog !

    He didn't say exactly why . if I see him tomorrow i'll ask him .

    :mack1:
