bulldog man

That place will never rust ...lol

Tom : I'll send my address via PM On Facebook to get on the Shine list err I mean Hotsauce list ..

Yardo My grandfather told me if they was running low of gas in a truck back in the 50's & 60's they poured shine down the gas tank & the service truck ran like a top if that gives ya an idea ..lol

Nice Shop there Leslie . We had a 40x60x20 shop back in the day . If it was raining & I was in the shop working on a truck & my grandfather & his crew didn't watch it Id crawl under the truck on a creeper & let the sound of the rain put me to sleep & get me about an hour nap . there were a few days that old man jerked out by the feet ..lol

Now if I get another truck I will have to carry it to a couple of buddies of mine about 30 miles North of me . As both of them has shops about a mile or 2 apart from 1 another.

1 buddy has a 50x100 shop w/ a height tall enough you can raise a 17' dumpbed & still have plenty of clearance . id say 50x100x25 .

The other has a shop about 40x60' W/ a roof tall enough to raise a bed & still have room .

But man there isn't anything like having a place to get your dogs out of the weather .

Very Different set up from what im used to . When I pulled Trailer frames For FEMA Trailers after Katrina I ran from 1 gulfstream plant to another . The fella I was working for was originally from MI. (now lives in N.MS About an hour from me) & knew I have always been into trucks .

we caught a break & was running close to the MI Sate line & he was from around Grand Rapids . So we went to The town he was from

he had a friend that had a couple of Michigan trains & I seen them 2 KW W900 Set up as Michigan trains had 3408 Cats TURNING 700HP W/18spd Roadrangers . was a sight for me to see . as I told his buddy id hate like hell to have to get in a tight spot w/ that setup .

Hello & 1st I want to say Hi & to the kennel . Glad to have you here w/ the rest of us Enthusiast.

I cant speak for the G377 Good Year . but the G177 Good Year Waste Hauler lugs are still in production .

The G177 Good Year is all we ran on our dump trucks & our lowboy due to we worked in the mud so much . the only down fall I seen to them on our trucks was they picked up every nail in the landfill . But I understand from a buddy of mine whom I work for some delivering tires for say that Good Year has a G177 Self sealing tire. called the Dura Seal G177 .

I never thought to look it up till this thread but here is a link to the G177 Good Year . http://www.goodyeartrucktires.com/tires/

Hope this helps .

To the Kennel !! Glad to have you here w/ the rest of us Mack enthusiast .

Congrats on your find . Nice looking Project you have there . 8)

Welcome to the Kennel .

LOL oh man that's Genius .

My youngest boy can sleep in the B with a straight pipe and bobble his head like a dog in the back window of your grandmas car

I Could Too . When I was A Toddler My Dad (before he passed) & Pop (my grandfather that raised me after dad passed) would put me in the cab of Old Dog when they moving equipment from job to the next or Taking Soybean or Wheat to the Elevator in North Memphis they would put me in the passenger seat . (no car seat )im told id be sitting up 1 minute looking around & talking & the next I was fast asleep on the bench style passenger seat & snoozing away in a 64 ' B Model Mack w/ a straight pipe 711 growling & barking & no a/c .

It never amazed our drivers even after I was grown that I could catch a ride in 1 of our Bulldog's going from the Dirt pit to the job site to operate a push cat & id put my head in the corner of the cab & fall asleep in a straight piped 237, 300 or 350 Mack & the windows rolled down & be sawing logs .

I Can still do that to this day . Nothing like the sound of a Mack drivetrain to put me to sleep in the passenger seat ...

_{there was a Excavating Company out of West Memphis, AR that used to have a 88' or 89' GMC 7000 Single axle Fuel/Lube truck w. 8.2 T Detroit & 5&2 w/23k axle .}

_{Not sure of the Horse Power but That truck carried a 1500 gallon fuel tank , Kellogg air compressor , 15W40 OIL, Waste Oil, grease drum, Hyd oil tank , Water tank , & gear oil tank & Reels I used to like to hear that ole 8.2T In a hard pull through soft ground & that Turbo start whistling like a tea kettle & black coal rolling out of that belly blower exhaust .}

I Graduated from MCHS In 94 ' my 10th grade English teacher told me I needed to bring my grade up to an A or B So I could take Spanish .

@ that time the Mexican population wasn't heavy here in the Memphis area yet I Told my teacher I didn't need to take Spanish & She said your loss not mine .

About 96 or 97 is when I started seeing the Mexican population explosion here in the Memphis area . What little bit of Spanish I do know is from the Mexicans ive worked with & from the one who are my neighbors .

Makes me wish I would had listen to my teacher now .

& as far as the National anthem is concerned I was taught to take my hat off & cross my heart . I forgot 1 time as a kid & my great uncle liked to knck me into the following year .

Welcome to the Kennel

Nice Pics all around Those DM Macks would make some good dump buckets .

As far as that mountain road goes I hope the jake would how out on the side of the mountain .

Always liked the looks of the Oshkosh HET .

& Far as the Wimmin go there is no Redheads or Blonde pics .

Countryboy : There was a fella out of N.Ms pop used tio work with a lot had a TD25 IH W/ A V8 IH Diesel in it & man I used to like to hear that ole TD25 IH In a hard push what a great sound .

Another motor sounds similar to a 3208 is the 4 stroke 8.2 L Detroit

yea I love that one, or the one where your going the speed limit and no one is behind you then all of a sudden someone comes out of nowhere, rides your ass and refuses to pass you.

Ya that happened to me yesterday when I was coming home from the shop just south of town .

Great post. I agree with what is posted. Some of my "favorites" are:

The person driving in the left lane doing just under the speed limit and refuses to move into the right lane.

The person coming on from the ramp. I will slow down (if I can't move left) to allow them to merge. The person will slow down too and at the end slam on the brakes. It is called an "acceleration" lane for a reason.

And lastly when passing, the person increases speed just as you get beside them.

I used to think some drivers bought their license at Kmart but now I think they get them at WallyWorld.

Farmer I thought you knew . they give DL's out As a prize in Boxes of Cracker Jack now .

Tailgater's, grrrrrr! I can't stand someone to be closer than 50' to me. I used to be bad about it and drop a gear and hit the Jake,watch em hit the shoulder. Now I think it bugs me worse since I worked overseas, never wanted anybody close to you in IQ, so I just start slowing down. The other day I had a lane of traffic down to 20mph in a 45, basically begging for confrontation.

I was coming home from the shop yesterday After making a run to Memphis I was going home (bout 6 or 7 miles south of Millington ) I was Northbound on HWY 51 I was just North of Paul Barret Parkway (TN 385) & South of Babe Howard Blvd & 51 " in the speed trap" section of 51 . the speed limit is 45 mph I was doing 45 to 50 mph & I DONT SPEED OVER 5MPH The limit Through that section MPD Bears are bad through that stretch of 51. There is a Dodge 4500 or 5500 Cummins Flatbed w/ a goose neck flatbed in the hammer lane just a few feet ahead of me.

I look out my drivers side mirror & there is a Silver rice burner on my ass @ this point im crossing the bridge over Big Creek approaching Babe Howard Blvd .

There is a light @ Babe Howard & 51 & There are Red light cameras on the lights here in Millington . THE LIGHT WAS TURNING FROM GREEN TO YELLOW , I was @ the point where I could either go through the light or STOP. To avoid having a ticket mailed to me I STOPPED He almost rear-ends me (I herd tires screeching downshift hard & hornest nest muffler from behind me ) the Dodge is beside me so the tailgater couldn't use that lane .

The light tuned green & I slowly get up to speed & after you go through that light the North bound side of 51 becomes 3 laned for about 3 lights then goes back to 2 lanes after that. I got in the far right hand granny lane so he could get by me he gets in the center lane rolls his window down (by this time im @ the light @ 51 & Navy ) minding my own damn business He yells I want to whoop your ass cause you didn't run the light & I almost rear-ended you . I told him id pull over in Kroger parking lot by the gas station @ the light @ 51 &Shelby/Easley & I was a disabled man due to my Cerebral palsy & if he could get past my .38 S&W That I have a permit for he can gladly whoop my ass . he kept on rambling Calling ME THE 1 Who almost caused a wreck back there til the light turned green & I just looked & smiled never showing the pistol . the light turned green & he peeled out leaving black marks & last I seen him (from a distance ) he was tailgating that Dodge Cummins 1 TON .

This WET BEHIND EAR KID Couldn't had been over 21 . Must had had a bad day & looking for someone to take it out on . IM NOT THE ONE !!

NEWS FLASH ASSHOLE YOU WERE BEHIND ME TAILGATING ME !!! I HAD TO STOP FOR THE LIGHT WHEN YOU ALMOST CRASHED INTO MY 94' GMC 2500 P/U (Aka 'Jimmy" ) IT WOULD HAD BEEN YOUR FAULT IF YOU TOTALED OUT THAT RICE BURNER OF YOURS NOT MINE !!!

I swear so people never learn !!!

Anything with a cutting edge, the edge is supposed to face the rear. Those turbo savers are pretty cheap, you can make your own cheap. I have heard of a couple guys here getting tickets for hauling dozers loaded like your loader because of the edge facing forward.

yup that law has been effect here in Tn for a number of years now .

I know 2 Excavating companies in Memphis that fined out the ass for having a Dozer blade or loader bucket facing the front .
