Tom, it sounds like you just didn't tell that ferrule was made of gold. By its look it could really be. Otherwise I have no idea on the amount of efforts you put into location of it.

Holly Farms was huge when I was a kid, many, many, years ago. Lots of people where I grew up in Cumberland county raised chickens for Holly Farms. They had a big plant and hatchery over near Burkeville and their feed trucks and shavings trucks rolled by the house 24/7. I don't know if there's still that many chicken houses around there now or not, but Holly Farms was bought by Tyson in 1989.

Happy B-day Heinz!

I've driven over that bridge in 2018. From Maryland to Virginia Beach. That was a matter of interest. My plan was to reach Keystone Truck and Tractor Museum and when I saw so long bridge on the map I resolved to take that route. Very impressive no doubt. I parked at the view point parking lot near the entry and saw a storm upcoming in the sea. So figured to not wait long. Had no idea on how the crossing could be dangerous. Expected for that to be safe being on a public road. And I was with a rental SUV, not a truck. Hit hard wind when over the bridge but that seemed normal for such a place. Reached the other coast before the rain. Sorry to hear about the crash and the driver's death.

The Allis was an updated version of the Buda 844 which also was very impressive in its day. Both failed do to not being able to keep together at the higher power settings, and lack of dealer network when they did have problems. Both did well in stationary/industrial applications.

Chassis booklet says 33.94 wide at the rear end and CL/RW2 keeps the same figure. R-models and its family is 33.37 and so on around the figure depending on the thickness of the steel. Good point indeed, CH/CX accomodated 6 in-line engines only. Mack or MP8/Volvo in later years.

I've never layed eyes on an Allis Chalmers engine in a truck. Read about them, but never saw one. From what I've read, they were pretty impressive for the time.

I've taken apart and overhauled/restored two water pumps - for Lanova and for E6-350. Provided all the works with basic shop tools. You take the assembly in halves than take the rotor off the shaft using a suitable puller than pull the shaft with both bearings to the outer side (front of the vehice). Than pull the bearings off the shaft and wash them refresh the grease or just renew them. The seals I dealt with were of different styles. Lanova had a carbon setup and my Dutch friend supplied me with NOS repair set. E6 had unified seal which was avalible from PAI and easy to replace. For some reason I've stocked up with a couple more PAI seals. To me it looked like you could upgrade an old pump to that unified seal applying some ingeunity and lathe work.

And how often did you see one with an Allis Chalmers for power? Guy here locally had one he bought in the mid-west somewhere. That would be back around 1979-80 +/-. l do remember it didn't waste any time going down the road! .....Hippy

That is correct. The Supreme Court is saying the method in which they are imposed is not legal.

I agree with President Trump. if this ass does not want to represent the United States, he never should have joined the U.S.A. Olympic team.

If it is okay for them to impose tariffs on us, it is okay for us to impose the same tariffs on them.

You're just thinking of a time when if you were on a highway, you couldn't go a half hour without seeing one.

Imagine being the President of the United States and publicly calling an native born Olympian representing the USA a loser. Wild times....

"The justices rejected Trump’s expanded use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) in imposing tariffs on nearly every country. The 1970s-era law allows the president to “regulate” imports when necessary to respond to national emergencies that pose an “unusual and extraordinary” threat. “We claim no special competence in matters of economics or foreign affairs,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. “We claim only, as we must, the limited role assigned to us by Article III of the Constitution. Fulfilling that role, we hold that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs.” " Supreme Court strikes down bulk of Trump's tariffs The ruling made no mention of the tariff revenues already collected. My guess is that will be a whole different legal battle. Ultimately the citizens are the ones who got the shaft and will never recover the funds they paid in inflated prices. However, my guess is we have not heard the last on this from the Executive Branch.

Kind of looks like a Lund visor. Always liked those. 20,000 thousand may seem high but you are getting something scarce as hen's teeth. Hope fully it's not bondoed to death.

I'm just happy the Supreme court cut their BS and finally handed down their ruling on tariffs. They heard the arguments back in November. Turns out imposing blanket tariffs on every US trading partner is not legal under the current scheme of an "international economic emergency". What a mess with the billions already collected.

l'm looking for 20*-32* at night and 40*-55* during the day. That there is the best temps to get the maple sap to run. Nothing better than some fresh maple syrup for breakfast!...... Dave, lt's also the time of year when the tourist and some locals call the local fire departments. To report a structure fire when all it is the steam being released from the sap houses while they are boiling. .....Hippy

It pops up from time to time on the March 2 reveal. Looks more Volvo than Mayflower, I may be wrong.

Ever notice when one side cuts positions it is "waste fraud abuse" when the other side cuts budget it is "defunding"? He is not defunding, he is not hiring new police, but keeping staffing where it is now. Hardly defunding!

It was in the 70's here yesterday and the low last night was 62.......

Yeah not one of theme drop visors that cover half of the windshield! terry

Heck The A model didn't come out until the late 1940s. If anything it should have been a Mack E model. Specifically an EH, which was a variant specifically built for the military.
