I am Ken Irvine, Jr. from Bethlehem, Pa ( Bethlehem is next door to Allentown, the former World HQ of Mack). I am 17 years old (on the inside...outside is 59 1/2) and have always loved things mechanical. Started life as a mechanic back in the late 50's, got through college and figured out the guys with the ties did not get wet in the winter working on a snow covered vehicle or have sweat running down their face in the summer so I became one. Never lost the connection to the tools though. Largest thing I ever ran (drove?) was a GM Diesel locomotive (I hope the Locomotive shop General Foreman doesn't read this) without permission, but I was young and it wasn't too hard to figure out. I have owned all kinds of goofy equipment like a deal I made once to acquire a Bucyrus Erie Crane, a couple of Euclids and Link Belt 6400 Hydraulic excavator with a 12V92 Detroit that sounded like a symphony when wound up. The Link tipped the scales at 186,000 lbs and the tracks were each 36" wide. Currently floating around are a 1963 Oshkosh airport snow plow, a '91 International with a Calahan Hydraulic 5th wheel. a '98 Mack CH613 tractor, an '06 Pete for my son-in law, and a couple of Titan smooth sided trailers. He does the driving and runs several drivers hauling garbage, coal, and mulch. I like buying big. The genset I got for the house is a 60KW monster with a gas 401 International for power. Switching it over to LP currently. My real idiotic claim to frame is that I actually sold HD Dodge Trucks back in the early '70s. Currently I am the Manager of Becker Subaru in Allentown. Due to a religious consideration, we have no business hours Friday night, Saturday, or thanks to Pa Blue Laws, Sunday. Competeing against dealerships who are open 6 and 7 days per week we were the 4th largest in the nation in 2003, 4th again in 2004, and in 2005 we were 3rd! It is amazing what can be accomplished with low prices! In the last several years I have sold new Subaru car to Walter May And Vince Pelitoni, the men who developed the Maxidyne. I hope my mental deviance meshes with the rest of you. Ken the Polish Boy The Truly Great ones make it look easy...
