  1. Hell in Philly thats not considered a problem.One of our triaxles took the whole damm sign down,on rt 1 one night.I walked a Cat D8 up the road about 5 miles from the yard and pushed it off too the side of the roadway and then came back to the yard with it and no one was the wiser. .We reported it to Penndot and if I remember right that was all that came of it.
  2. I can remember seeing that DM when we did work in that plant.I think they used to park it alot right next to the building that the war department still has.That was where most of the gun barrels for all of the ships came from.As far as i know that building is still open.
  3. I had the same problem Randy,in my shed where I have the cab from the B87.I have a propane heater in there and I hang a electric fan from the ceiling to force the hot air down.I was able to use spray bombs when it was in the single digets.I will try opening the door on Sunday.Won't be able to do much just came home from the hospital this morning,had my 3rd and final stomach surgery.Can't lift any thing more then 5lbs and can't drive for a week.
  4. Could not have been put any better Paul.The point I can't stand is that all of these nations that we give unthinkable amount of money and military help always vote against the US in the United Nations.
  5. I remember there was a company called Granite State Collectables,they were based out of NH.I had brought some custom First Gear trucks from the gentlemen.His prices were not all that bad for the work he did.I don't think they are still around,maybe someone on this bb knows of them.
  6. I think that Barry and the fellows at Watts are doing super job.I belong to antique equipment forum and they have ban some people from using the bb.I like the fact that everyone controls the wording of the responces,and I think that is due to the fact that we all are a pack of nuts that just love Mack trucks.If you are looking for an answer to a problem with your truck you have come to the right place.
  7. We had brought stone from Propples back in the 90's for a sears warehouse we did up in Ashley.

  10. My son goes to college in Emmitsburg at Mount Saint Marys.What type of truck was it that town in not all that big,I'ld tell him to keep his eyes open for it.

    WHY?

    Remember in the start of each show they say these are some of their TOP shippers.I can only think what their less then top shippers must do.I had acouple of shippers park their trucks in my yard.I would some time walk over and see what they were hauling,some of them may have used duck tape to chain down the loads.
  12. Rudy,there was a truck like what your talking about down here in Philly sometime ago.It was owned by ABC Construction out of Bensalem PA.We had owned that truck at one time,it was one of our lube truck that we had.

  16. Hell owner operator back here in the states are having problems making payments each month.I priced out buying 20 brand new Cat triaxles that were just your plain janes,and they were $176,000 each.
  17. You fellows down under really know how to make your trucks look awesome.Would like to see some of them in the states.
  18. Couldn't agree with you more JTFormula.I have some a nice collection of antique Caterpillar tractor,there's one that there's only 5-6 of them known to exist.Will I get what people tell me it worth hell no.

  21. I will be seeing Bill this week,who should I say you are.Where in Hellertown do you live?
  22. Fellows,you have it ALL WRONG if I'm not mistaken the first 4 years of Obama term was ALL BUSH'S FAULT.If you beleive all that BULLSHIT then that knucklehead does get another term.

  24. Well did alittle more on the old girl.The two grab handles that are on the cab I had to re drill them since the old on broke off.I'm thinking of what I will do next,would like to get the inside all done and ready for paint within the next two weeks.Will post pic. when I get something done that worth while.
