Tadaaaaa, We had a hammer ready but they slipped in effortlessly. Nice. Onto piston and rods.

I like beer, and everybody loves boobage.

Dug out some old pics the other day. Here's a brand new Superliner at the dealer in my town back in the day. Pretty sure it ended up pulling log trailer. It was a long time ago, and I can't really make it out in the pic, but there is a badge under the Superliner oval on the side of the hood. I can't remember if it was a Caterpillar or Cummins badge?

Of all the times to not have a phone or camera!! "You won't be taking any pictures of that if you know what's good for you!" "Oh no, it's not for me Princess, I'm just doing it for the guys on BMT! I have my eyes closed now".

This is what 3rd world country type behavior looks like. Corruption and Chaos rule those environments. Whats even more telling is, this type of behavior when seen in America is almost always in Democrat ran cities.

"make billions for himself" this one is great. Only President that came into office with more net worth than he left with and came back to do it again. Anybody really think the man isn't aware of his own mortality ? No doubt, we're at an ugly place. No getting out of it that's going to be pretty. Lots of these things that are unpopular need to be done. Personally......I'm not see'n Gavin Newsom or Harris capable of ever doing any of it. Not even that man's man Walz. (oh wait a minute...he's a little busy with his somalis people who truly love this country no profiting going on there)

Well its not a loadstar but an R series with the single man cab. Its crazy. I was not even looking for internationals and this popped up in my search. Kind of strange that I mentioned it yesterday and have not seen one in years.... 1968 International R190 Series Single Center Seat Dump Truck - Commercial Vehicles - Glen Campbell, Pennsylvania | Facebook Marketplace | Facebook

This is almost as bad as when I watch "Blackhawk Down". Every time I would watch that movie I would wish I was king, so I could blow somalia right off the map. This only makes me want to put elon omar and the rest of the idiotic and corrupt somali politicians on a bus and send it towards somalia.

Another picture that I had saved. Me, Bob, and Jumper and Son eating dinner in Delmont, Pa.

Speaking of International and the Harvester Home Coming. My Friend Troy Link Won Heavy Weight Champion Acouple years ago With this 1979 4070 B Brahm Edition Cabover. He restored it from the ground up in his shop in Homer Michigan. Unfortunately he lost his battle with Throat Cancer Last year. He was Affectionately known as Chicken Troy due to his love of Chicken lights 😋.

Ask George Soros!!!!!!!!

Crazy how theres a bunch of White Americans calling Trump a bad man for getting Maduro, and Gazillions of Venezuelans are cheering in the streets... How much are these idiot protesters getting paid to be stupid? 😆

I don't have a photo to prove it But was dropping my boy at Melbourne airport and Princess in her not so kindest voice exclaimed "would you look at that" So I did look and then got into trouble for looking Anyway the view was a lady with a dress on the was shorter around the waist than most mens shirts, bent over attaching the label's to her luggage I made a remark about the possibility of seeing bearded clam, than was informed by the Princess the clam was infact un bearded Wonders will never cease Paul

That's where the tariffs come in, a lot of people don't seem to understand how they work, but one of the main goals of raising tariffs was to level the playing field with imported and exported goods and to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US. If Mowerman Industries makes widgets and sells them for $0.15 apeice and it costs them $0.13 to make each widget, if they can get them made for $0.08 each in Sri Lanka, they're outa' here. But if after the increased tariffs take affect the profit margin is the same or less, Mowerman Industries might as well just make their widgets right here in the US. But things- well, very few things- don't happen over night. If a frozen turkey has cost on average of, oh, let's say $143.16 for the last 4 years it won't magically come down to $6.14 the day after Donald Trump gets elected. But people still complain "I thought he was going to make gas cheaper, and groceries cheaper, and everything else cheaper". Anyway, that's my opinion.

For years previous admins have know about crime and corruption in our country. But they were gaining too much power locally and getting rich at the same time, so there is no need to try to fix it, when all they have to do is 'talk' about how to fix to get votes. We now have a President who is doing something about it. His arrogance is both a distraction and great tool for him to do the job. I was asked on friday, "what has trump done for us as a nation" . I really like the guy who asked it and he truly beleives trump is a selfish person, so I just kept my cool and let him speak. It amazes me how blind many democrats are...

Tommy, There are a couple of posters on here with a serious case to TDS!! I just ignore them as it is a waste of time arguing with them.

Known criminal?..for anything other than the fake charges against him? The left continuously calls him a rapist and a pedophile, when there's no evidence of him being either. Manipulated elections? with all the fraud uncovered in the 2020 election, and "found" votes in the wee hours of the morning, and missing ballots, and sleepy joe somehow getting 80 million votes, and Donald Trump manipulated the election? I missed that part where he used the military against his own citizens too. Using the National Guard to help with crime control in places that obviously need help with crime control is certainly not a bad thing, and certainly not any different than when the police arrest drug dealers and criminals, and people don't protest that- oh, wait, yeah, they do. Never mind...

Fortunately My Mom & Dad took a lot of pictures as I was growing up, and it seems like I inherited that same trait,, if I take a picture of a truck or vehicle I try to put someone in the picture like they did,, it means so much more years later. ,, Top left is My Dad and Me in front of a old Plymouth he had in the mid 60s , notice trucking hat & cast on his arm, he broke his wrist helping my Grandfather put a clutch in a car ,, he did some trimming on it because he never missed a day of work,, he still drove a B Model and shifted a duplex with it . The color picture to the right is him and the B Model,, I had it colorized and blown up, the other with 3 black and white small pictures are Dad and Me, old Hennis Freight pictures from the early 60s . The other color picture is Dad and Kyle at the National Truck Show in Greensboro in 1999 in front of a ( unknown owner) LJ . Thanks for the interest,, I have blown up so many and framed them I ran out of room to hang them.

Ok, it happened. My friend showed up with his log truck and we got the motor and transmission picked out, set down and separated. Sorry I didn't take time for photos because it was all hands on deck. I got them wrapped up enough for the rain that came in overnight. I have a heavy tarp for longer use. I still need to get Jake parts off yet and likely use the twin oil filter set up and oil cooler off the 237. The triple filter I heard is a bit too big and will get in the way of power steering. The oil cooler I already rebuilt when I put 237 in the truck so it should be good for quite a while yet. Kevin All is making plans to stop down and drop off the power steer box and will likely buy the triplex for his bus. I need to load up the old 5 spd and deliver it to friend that came to pick the engine out. He also gets the old pistons from the 300 and the deep oil pan. Not sure what all I will get into today? I may roll new main bearings to get things started so when liners are in I can just slip rods in and torque everything down. I need to borrow a friends BIG torque wrench. Pretty sure I used it years back when I reinstalled rear springs and had new U bolts (before I stretched it and put air ride on it). We're making baby steps......

Merry Christmas,, as 2025 comes to a close it’s been a up and down year,, The year started finishing up the LJ as we were still digging out from the flood damage, as the summer went on we were fortunate to take the LJ to several shows, including Mack’s 125th birthday celebration! We were blessed to have a lot of fun. But as the year came to a close a couple weeks ago tragedy struck with 2 really great people I knew , Jamson Gibson a local big rig race driver , friend , really great guy , and Greg Biffle ( former nascar driver ) and his family who helped us a lot during the flood, delivered supplies to our Church very early after the storm with his personal helicopter . He was involved in a lot local charity work with kids. I had just talked to him a few weeks ago at a charity event at his farm. Very Sad, Hopefully 2026 will be better for all of us.

pulled this off the internet. From the same dealership chain. Someone said they figured it was takin in 1981....

This is the 1967 Loadstar that I drove on the farm. If memory serves me it was a 549, 5 and 3. I loved driving this truck and would have bought it if Jim would have been willing to sell it at the right time.

Yeah, what Bob said- we usually get more snow and cold around here in January, February and March I'd say than any other months. Of course, I'm not a meaty urologist and don't keep records. But we've already had 2 significant snow storms this year, before Christmas. The high today was 36 but it's supposed to be 49 tomorrow. We could have went to another Christmas Parade, the one we took the big green International that runs now to in Cumberland last year, but I didn't register because the forecast last week said it was going to barely get above freezing. Last year's parade picture-
