  1. I watched the 'pundits' afterward... they all talk about Washington disfunction, "He had to work with a fundamentally broken Congress", the climate of D.C. is just terrible, Americans hate government incompetence. Its a story we've heard every since Joe Christmas hit The White House. The not-so-subtle commentary from the Left is racist Republicans are behind all his failings. They HATE him. I am not in a position to deny that they HATE him, but his half-blackness is not the issue, and six years on, I am continually amazed at why those same pundits refuse to acknowledge the REAL reason he has run into obstacles since the Republicans have regained control of Congress. . . IT IS THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT!!!! He consciously chose to ram that shit down everyone's throat. THAT should be the starting point for every conversation concerning the current climate in D.C. Hate breeds hate, and the elite Left's supposed mandate to make-over the USA by gaining control of everything in 2008 started the 'hate-ball' rolling. To me that is obvious. . . but I'm just a dumb farmer.
  2. I think that day has arrived in certain neighborhoods in Chicago. . . others too I'm sure. Isn't that at least part of the Black Lives Matter movement? High unemployment, broken families, and a general lack of "agency"... together they create a society that produces crime and subsequent gun violence. People in those neighborhoods are arming themselves daily. They are also using said arms to murder and maim daily too. Now I wouldn't contend that these armed groups of people in these neighborhoods (aka gangs) would consider themselves a "militia'; determined to preserve the rights of law-abiding property owning citizens, but the impetus is almost certainly the same: To protect what they think is theirs from a hostile take over. The Militia-minded folks legitimize their weapons through tradition dating back to the nations founding, along with a genuine fear of 'what-if?'. The gangs of Chicago legitimize their weapons on nothing less than real honest-to-goodness survival. The idea of what makes America great long ago vanished for them.....
  3. 55 mph speed limit... it really was slower.
  4. I know one thing for sure, that Matlack bottle is still working. They've been dragging them out of the weeds for the last ten years... and charging "like new" prices for them. http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=6401145
  5. The picture is of a tw-35.... but I think the set up was used on the tw-25, 30, and 35 as well as the newer 8730's and 8830's.
  6. Yes, I'd say its worth it. It ranks very high on the kool scale. Nice colors too.
  7. And the answer is. . . . . . . The last picture shows the intake for the tip turbine, behind the honeycomb is a separate filter. The hood has an opening on either side for the intake to the cooler and the after-cooler exhaust. Having two separate air cleaners sure makes it messy under the hood, but they make it work. This is the 401 cu.in. engine. Rated for 188 hp. I didn't hear it run, but I wondered if it made the whoosh like a Mack does.... http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/004/0/3/4034-ford-tw-35-engine.html
  8. Hint #5 Under 200 hp, and Under 7.0 Liter
  9. schmegma.... hilarious..... You're definitely from L.I.
  10. Has anyone on here had trouble getting parts for turbine? Was that a durable set-up?
  11. Best I can tell, it was before that.... I need to say, the 'cooler box' is a different shape, but the idea behind the setup is identical and as I mentioned before, the turbine(fan?) is indeed the same...
  12. Not Deutz Hint #4 American engine. Although Deutz is an excellent guess.... with all that air blowing allovertheplace
  13. Its the distorted slogan property owning tax payers have been living under since LBJ introduced us to the Great Society....
  14. Not Husqvarna.... Hint #3 it is OEM on a diesel engine. I'll upload pics after Powerball drawing....
  15. Just like to restate my belief that Bernie is the most genuine of the bunch....
  16. (Multiple LIKES)
  17. Here's a hint....This application would have been in service late '80s early '90s... possibly earlier too....
  18. Not Perkins or International.....(that I know of)
  19. Can anyone name another application for a tip-turbine after-cooler set up other than Mack? The turbine appeared to be the exact same design too. I saw it today, and was very surprised. (some on here may have known of them for a long time. . .)
  20. His emotions on the matter are rooted in total and utter ignorance of the mindset of gun owning citizens. I really believe that he is completely confounded by America's love of firearms, which makes him appear all the more un-American to said gun owners.
