having that heavy suspension, be interesting to see what the trailer looked like. did a clever job to cover /seal the banjo. have to wonder if wheel bearings were changed to grease or filled the banjo with gear oil. rear bull gear usually did the movement to circulate oil to wheel bearings. low use trailer ; oil in hub was good enough ??

latest for CT calling for 12-18 inches snow Sunday into Monday with 35 mph winds!! might classify as a blizzard. I could deal with the blizzard of '78 ;; younger (not as wise) . push snow with a TD20 dozer for days. going on 75 without the TD20 only a snow shovel === sucks.

I’m assuming the importers ,,, middle men,, were supposed to be eating the tarriffs ,,,,,, that are raking in billions… that are also sticking it to consumers here …while thier wallets are getting fat….apparently the plan is not working for us… Bob

Well I heard a few times we were supposed to all get refund checks…. What happened to that ??????? lol yeah right

I’m curious why he says it will need to be litigated. I’m not familiar with the procedural aspects of who would actually litigate the issue. But fundamentally the executive branch illegally collected $1.75 billion from companies and/or importers so saying that is essentially the same as saying he thinks the Executive branch should not voluntarily return it.

Well, off to transfer 4"-6" of snow from the driveway to the lawn and woods with "Miss Junkie 1". AccuWeather says another 1"-3" Monday. .....Hippy

I bought my White Road Boss from a salvage yard in Southern Delaware. It had been owned for many years by a poultry farm in Maryland on the Delmarva peninsula. When I was driving through that area it was nothing but chicken farm after chicken farm. Mile after mile of poultry operations. The guy at the salvage yard said all the farms around were either owned by Purdue or private farms that had contracts with Purdue.

Picture sure remove any doubt.

I guess someone made a trailer out of Mack rears. 🤔

Old mother nature can be very fickle 39° C (102°f) today, out running hay about, no aircon in Mrs Mack, but I was still smiling Paul

At the start of the week it was hot and had a massive fire, by the end of the week its cold with a chance of snow. I don't really like either option. Something like 230,000 acres burned but thankfully we didn't loose much of importance. Some neighbors lost a good amount of cattle unfortunately.

Check with John Chalmers. You never know what he might have.

Here is another picture. It answers some of everyone’s questions. It may be a trailer suspension. If so, how to identify it? It has 4” wide springs and looks like Mack axles to me. It does have bronze bushings for the spindles.

Seems everywhere I go now especially clinics the crew all look like babies to me and none of them look old enough to drive

How about when a young guy refers to you as an " old guy " and not doing being a wise ass. 🤔 Never saw it coming.

Seems like George C Scott was driving like some sort of a Brigadaire or a GMC 9500 at the end of the movie I think he was going crazy or losing his mind. Seems like he had a bloody nose. I don’t remember it was too long ago.

And yes I did like it

I saw that when it was brand new in the theaters …. I don’t even remember a B model…. But that was a long long time ago

I know it’s a long shot but would anyone happen to have a NOS or slightly used white steering wheel to fit a 1974 RS-700 thanks

I would have, but I don't think lottery tickets had been invented yet 🤣 I went to the eye doctor in Lynchburg this morning and I was sitting there thinking "sure is a lot of old folks in here".

Shoulda bought a lottery ticket too.

Speaking of finding things, way back in the early 80's I had delivered somewhere in North Carolina and called headquarters. They didn't have anything for me to pick up so the boss man said to come on to the shop. Then he said "if you don't mind, and I know it's a long shot, but a driver stopped at the little BP station on 29 north of Greensboro yesterday and he thinks he might have dropped his keys, he can't find them anywhere. Maybe somebody found them and turned them in to the fuel desk or something". That little BP station was exactly where the Sheetz is now, at the time there was just a tiny little dirt parking lot and a spot around back to park, so you could park maybe 4 trucks in there total. So I stopped, thinking I'd never find any keys, but I could get a drink and a honey bun and head on to the house. I pulled in and parked, got out of the truck and didn't take 2 steps and there they were, laying on the ground.

Not to worry, sooner or later you will find someone with more money than brains to buy that rare antique collector "big green international truck that now runs" 😁
