In May on the way to Reno, my friend and I stopped in Cheyenne to try to see 4014 but it was in the steam shop which is in the middle of the Cheyenne rail yard. No access was available but we went to a near by park and took some pictures of 4004 which is on permanent display there. As you can see, it was a little damp that day. Some time since then I joined the U.P. Steam club and I recently got an update on the travels of 4014. It is attached. Union Pacific Steam Club Update No.docx

Bob, on the way to Reno my friend and I journeyed out of our way to go to the Nevada Railway Museum in Carson City. It is a nice museum with some neat old things.

I rode the J611 here in VA a few years ago. I forget where we went but it was pricey and I remember being in Manassas, VA. I found a picture and it says 2016. I think we rode to Front Royal and then returned to Manassas.

With the wipers above the windshield it is prior to 52/53. Is it a WC 26 or 28? It looks like a 26 to me. Where in Montana is it? That is sure a neat old truck. Thanks for posting.

Your best bet is to find a junked MH and get what you need. I could have probably gotten that for you up until a couple of years ago but the cab I had found has been scrapped. Good luck. Where are you?

Being in Montana I would expect a shop in winter is pretty much a necessity. Even if no heat but out of the wind will probably make a big difference. Good luck with the project.

Cam sold his several years ago. Gulley has one like it but I do not know if it is the one Cam had.

I volunteered in registration at a couple of shows and we were told that entry required proof of insurance and a fire extinguisher. People were moved to the side until they had proof. There were no ifs, ands or buts; no insurance-no entry.

The Classic White Truck Group is having their annual truck show (the Bash) at Jerry's place on Sept 21st. Bring out those nice trucks again.

These 2 beauties belong to Jerry Howard. The picture of the black truck was taken at Macungie.

I think they are still here. I found it by clicking on your name and some of your recent posts showed up.
-
Nice find and good looking old truck. Some polish on those tanks and wheels will do wonders for it. Long live cab overs!!!

Having trouble finding cord on my truck for the block heater
MHfred replied to Oakley's topic in Engine and Transmission
Very likely there is no cord. You power the heater by plugging in a cord but it may not have a heater installed. On my MH the receptacle is under the driver side door in plain sight. -
cab mounts
MHfred replied to mack4ever's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Wow. It looks like it will be better than when new. Keep us updated. -
I exchanged some texts today with my friend in Wyoming and he told me he sold his MH to someone in PA who said he would bring it to Macungie. Have you seen it? Did someone on here buy it? I did not ask him when he sold it. Thanks
-
He lived in WEST Virginia, didn't he? I think I talked to him once on the phone but have not seen the truck. EDIT: Keg1 beat me to my post but I think he is correct.

Fuel for a B model
MHfred replied to daveb's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I do not use much diesel but when I do my annual fill up in my MH I stop at a local farm co-op who sells 50 cetane diesel with additives already in it. They call it Super Gold premium and their price is good. Supposedly usual diesel fuel is 40 cetane. -
I thought turn signals must be optional on newer vehicles since they are not used very much. HA I really hate it when I am sitting to wait for a vehicle to pass an intersection and the sucker makes a turn on the road I am sitting. ERRRR!

Rear brakes seem to be hanging up....
MHfred replied to Freightrain's topic in Air Systems and Brakes
Is it temperature related? If so, set a heater in your garage and see what it does. -
When I suspect you have your high beams on and you don't dim them or put on high beams after I put on my high beams I leave my high beams on. Apparently some vehicles require a lot of work to dim their lights. As irritating as the bright/improperly aimed lights is the fool who runs around in the dark because he can see. DUH?? We would like to be able to see you.
-
I am undecided about which is more irritating- the political ads with all their lies and crap or the Medicare open enrollment lies and crap. I will be glad when both are over.

So this horse walks into a French bar and says..........
MHfred replied to kscarbel2's topic in Odds and Ends
They said this morning on CBS news that the horse was "bar hopping". HA!! -
I had some bugs on my wind shield the other year that I tried to remove with a blue (?) Scotch Brite pad or something similar. NOT good!! It turns out that pad was for sanding or something else and scratched my windshield terribly. I lived with it for years but recently had to replace it because of cracks.
