bulldog man

happy birthday

to the club

Ding,ding......ding,ding,ding...ding...ding,ding.

Exactly my thoughts Ding ding ding tink tink tink . that drives me nuts . Pop had a 72 White Xpeditor tandem lowboy tractor w/ NHC Super 250 Compression release Cummins w/ 4" Exhaust w/ Rain cap that made that noise.

& the 1st thing Moose (driver) did 2 weeks after pop bought the truck was took that straight exhaust tip & rain cap off & walked in the shop & found a chromed turn out & put it on top of the muffler .

a Muffler rusted out on a 1066 Blackstripe IH We had pop put a Cat exhaust pipe off a a 950B Cat loader & a 4" rain cap in it's place that spring . by that summer I went to Memphis & bought a curved turn out pipe & put in it's place & cause I was the 1 that had to operate the 1066 & dirt pan all day listen to that tink tink tink ding ding ding when I had to idle down "Red" for any reason & as a 15 yr old kid I hated rain caps even then .

Id rather hear a 238 Detroit "Lope" than hear a rain cap . hearing a rain cap go tink tink tink ding ding ding is like hearing nails on a chalkboard to me me .

The ONLY Reason id have for a raincap is on a smoker grill cause then it wouldn't tink tink tink ding ding ding .

AMEN BROTHER !!

Not much to say that hasn't been said already, but your health is the most important thing, the only thing, to be thinking about now Mike. Get well soon.

Well Said & Ditto to what Tom said . & Get well soon .

Ernie : Wishing your son the best .

Prayers & Thoughts going up to you, your son & family .

Been noticing alot of beautiful women flagging or in construction latley. seen one in Portland that if Ann had not been with me I would of gotten a picture of that ass and the tits to go with it.

Amen Brother !! & id offer her to my make face look like a glazed donut after work

Everybody in dump trucking here has a triaxle and when I was running mine I pondered a single axle with a tag long and hard. I kept getting calls for 5-10tn and it just never worked out well you ended up in a hole the truck barely fit in and made squat after fuel. I looked at 30-33k gvw international,ford and gmc's, with a 10' bed versus a 16 and a single axle you could get into those back yards with sand,gravel and mulch a lot easier. Take into account the fuel savings running a 6-8liter engine versus a 12-15 liter and you would have the same profit margin if you kept it busy.

My thoughts exactly on the smaller truck . My landlord has a 88'GMC S/A Dump here in the trailer hood he & his son pairs it w/ a 580 Super L & Does quite a bit w/ it around here. I told him id buy the truck if he ever wanted to sell it even though id rather have a diesel it is a 366 gas motor & 5&2 & id run it till I could get a diesel

Don't even get me started on how much cheaper the tags and insurance were!

Oh I know insurance is a bear . pop & myself always complained you could make skip payments in the winter months on equipment & trucks but not insurance .

There is a niche for single axles for smaller loads out there. There is a guy by me from Congers NY area that runs a Pete 330 with a tag and a Midliner CS single axle VPZINC would know him. He runs out of Orangeburg NY out of ORI doing small loads. I need to get some pics of his trucks they are set up real nice.

Rob

Ya id ilke a truck no bigger than the size of a S/A Dump w/tag s/a w/ a cheater axle here in W.Tn I could legally haul 20 Tons of material like a live tandem .

Nice Looking R Model ya got there . & im sure that ole Bulldog will growl nice & loud w/ the chrome straight pipe .

I Had a Compair Kellogg before they quit making the whole unit (now they just make the compressor & that's it) . & also a Quincy as well . both were great compressors. never been around the smaller service truck IR Compressors so I cant speak of them .

I Ran both daily for 12 to 15 yrs & believe or not a buddy of mine is still using both of them now on his service trucks as I sold them to him 8 yrs ago so he could cut down on service calls when his roll offs blew a tire .

Had Kohler 12.5 hp Motors on both w/175 psi & 30 gal tanks . & they ran all my air tools from air drills, 1/2 ,3/4 & 1" air drills , my air grease pump , & what ever else I had air driven on my 89 F250 Ford service truck @ the time . could blow radiators & filters out w/ease & both never gave a minutes trouble . I had 3/8 & 1/2 hoses on mine .

I Highly recommend Quincy Compressors .

If I had to buy another new compressor for a service truck it would be a Quincy .

That's 1 nice looking Superdog . Mike ..

Your Hard work has definitely paid off . I bet it sounds as good as it looks .

have a goodone .

SCREW THE WINFALL WIMMIN I WANT THAT WESTERN R-MODEL WRECKER!!!!!!!!! ME SOW HOWNY!!!! ME LUV YOU LONG TIME!!!!!!!!!

Yardo is Liking on the West Coast Bulldog (which all nice & good ) but im liking the Blonde Flagging Traffic !!

WHERE IN THE HELL WAS THE WOMEN FLAGGERS When I was out there years ago as a 18 to 20 yr old kid having to stop traffic so the dump trucks could get in & out of the dirt pit & getting cussed @ almost ran over & getting the finger ?

Oh Wait that's right 1 of Pops buddy that he sub contracted for had 3 beautiful redhead daughters & they was either operating equipment or driving a lowboy or dump truck . I THINK THEY SHOULD HAD FLAGGING & STOPPING TRAFFIC INSTED OF MYSELF & THIER OLDER BROTHER

I Guarantee those 3 & this blonde in the pic is a lot easier on the eyes & could stop traffic a lot faster than my ugly ass & their brothers grizzly adams looking ugly ass . especially if you put those 3 redheads in a 2 piece bikini w/ a slow/stop sign in there hand .

@ Tom : I was running this idea by N.C. Joe not long ago & I think I've mentioned it to you on the phone as well . & that's my thoughts too . im not out there price gouging folks . I just want to make a decent living w/ a truck of my own again , but I want to make a decent w/ a truck on a smaller scale aka the smaller loads of dirt, mulch, sand, & gravel .

@ BullHusk : I often thought about a F450 OR F550 2YD TO 3rd dumps & wondered it that was too small & need to go to a 5yrd to 10 yd bed w/o going over the 33k GVW Mark .

There is a small concrete co in Memphis they have the 2yd concrete buggies you can rent & haul your mix from their plant or you can have them deliver the same 2 yds in a S/A 4200 International similar to what you are talking about . they have their own niche here in the Memphis area as no one else has that small of a concrete truck . & can go where the big boys cant . as you were talking about .

This where I got my concept of a small dump for the homeowners & DIY Folks that don't need a full 25 ton Tri axle load . As I live North of Memphis & hardly anyone in my area has a s/a dump (with the exception of the 1 co. I mentioned)

A F450 OR F550 Dump is a idea there .

Thanks BullHusk .

My thoughts, Prayers & Condolences to you & yours .

Stay cool in this heat & Ed is right these young bucks cant take the heat .

God Bless

Good Luck Mark in what ever your decision is . I haven't had a truck of my own in 8 yrs now (though I have always been local except the time I went to pulling FEMA Trailer Frames from 1 Gulf Stream plant to the other after Katrina For another fella that was leased on to a transport co . out of Elkhart ,In a I Drove a T300 KW for them.)

Now im driving a 3/4 TON & 1 TON Truck hauling truck tires for a buddy of mine who used to sell myself & my granddad our truck tires for our Lowboy ,Dump trailer & Dump trucks .

Talk bout a lifestyle change for me. I felt like my pride was shot going from a tandem R Model , DM & Tri Axle Brigadier to a F250 PSD Ford w/ 16' tire trailer & a 3500 Dodge Cummins w/ a 25' tire trailer .

But Even as crazy as it sounds I still have the dream of getting back out on my own w/ my own truck again . But this Time I want a Single Axle Dump to get the small loads nobody wants to haul around here . (Preferably a Single Axle Mack)

I , my dad & granddad (when dad & pop were still living) have had the Tandem & Tri Axles & now it seems like everybody round my neck of the woods wants to cut throat everyone else w/ a Tandem & Tri Axle dump . & that why I want the small truck . I can go where the others cant & have my own niche as most anybody w/ a s/a truck here hauls for themselves or is a local or state govt dump . I only know of 1 s/a dump here that hauls for others & it is in a fleet of tri axle dumps & tandem tractors w/ dump trailers & the s/a rarely see the road .

Good Luck in what ever your decision is my friend & keep us posted .
