Does anyone have any ideas on the manufacturer of the jack?  I need to find a rebuild kit for the gear reduction box.

Thank you,

Ben

Ok lets try this again.  Here are the pictures.

It wouldn't upload from m my phone so I pasted it. I guess I'll have to jump on the computer. 

Can anyone tell me what brand this jack might be?  It's on a early 70's Hobbs flatbed. The two speed gear box needs rebuilt and I can't seem to find one that looks like this. 

Good evening everyone,

Its been a while since i've been on the site. I have an early 70's hobbs 40' flatbed that I picked up for $600 over a year ago. It had 6 of the 8 tires in 50% or better condition so I figured why not. When I hooked it to the truck a while back and charged the tank the brakes would lock up. I figured it was a relay valve leaking internally to the service side. It is a single tank with no spring brakes. I was able to get it home by leaving the trailer circiut uncharged and hoping the friendly NHP trooper that stopped me for a flat spot on the trailer didn't decide to crawl under the trailer. It worked as I only got a ticket for the bad tire. I ran new lines from the front to the tank and bought a new valve. I put the new valve on last night and now it's not charging the tank when I put the air to it from the cab. When I pull the Johnson bar it charges the tank and locks the brakes. I have service hooked to service and emergency to emergency. What am I missing? I know its not in the truck because it works fine with the other two trailers.

Thanks

Ben

Sorry for the late acknowledgement. I had a busy week. If anyone has ever been to the big city of Elko Nv the party was at the Star Hotel, the best steak ever. Thank you all for the well wishes.

Its not the same guy, I knew the guy I bought mine from. I might have to check out his other lists.

That's funny, I picked my B73 up in Battle Mountain as well. It must be the mack town of Nevada.

I couldn't figure out why he kept grinding the gears, then it hit me, he's shifting with the wrong hand. I'd miss them all too.

Id pick that up in a heartbeat for 2500.

Welcome aboard. There are lots of very knowledgeable people here. I'll be the first to say, we like pics. Trucks or women, were not picky!

_{We had the tread separate on our work f250 last night. It was a wild ride at 75. Our damage wasn't as bad as that.}

looks like another candy store,,,and ya,,im sure their dicks,,,besides as usuall too far away from me...lol.bob

We West Coasters miss out on all the fun!

I tried to go look at the stuff in Carson City last July but I didn't get in touch with the guy until two weeks after I was back on the other side of the state. Did they say if there were still a lot of parts left?

I love the B75 with the L cab. It looks exactly like mine probably did 40 years ago.

_{I live in Elko, about 120 miles East of Winnemucca. It got dusty here about an hour ago. The wind can blow here that's for sure. That's too bad about the traffic accidents. Hopefully no one was seriously injured. Have a safe rest of your trip.}

Did anyone try sending him a message on truckpaper?

A 42mt delco should be the coorect one. The thread mentioned is a good one.

I've had two front pick up tires seperate going 80mph. It is not a fun ride. We kept them upright both times, but it is no fun.

Nice video, it sounds pretty mean.

The Oliver 995 had a GM engine like the 990 but a different transmission. It was marketed as "Lugmatic". I don't know how the transmission differed. Back in the 40s, 50s, and 60s there were many tractor brands. Today, what is left, is Deere, AGCO, and FNH (who will soon be bought by Fiat).

And the original Fiat is now part of AGCO.

Did this message self destruct? There is nothing there now!

I received my tax return for 2011 back from the IRS with questions on my dependents. It puzzled me, and I have been working on it ever since!!! They questioned the number of dependents I claimed. I guess they meant because of my response to the question, "List all dependents."

I replied, “12 million illegal immigrants; 3 million crack heads; 42 million unemployed people on food stamps, 2 million people in over 243 prisons; and 535 persons in the U.S. House and Senate, and 1 useless President."

Evidently, my answer was NOT acceptable.

I KEEP ASKING MYSELF, WHO THE HELL DID I MISS?

I used to be a Ford guy....until Ford quit putting manual transmissions in their trucks. You can't even order one as an option. As much as I like Ford trucks, I'd rather drive a Dodge with a manual transmission than a Ford with an automatic. For the time being, I've got my old Fords...but eventually, I'll wear 'em out & need a newer truck....and I gotta have a manual transmission.

Rowdy,

I agree. They offered the manual up to the 09 or 10 model. You could upgrade to a "used 09" and still get the clutch pedal. Ive heard the dodge manual is on the way out as well, man I hope not.
