Be sure to check input shaft lengths and how it fits your bushing in the flywheel.. You may have to change the length of your drive shaft?? Then check U-joint angles..

We have survived this cold snap.. Down to 10 degrees yesterday and this morning and I still have water with no problems. Yesterday's sun did a great job of melting Saturday's snow. Our road is dry, but by the TV, north of us in Greenville they still have some on their roads. Today's predicted 45+ should cure that, and finish our snow cover.

Osterland in Carlisle PA used the Deutz air cooled engines in their Diamond REO Giants up until about 1990 when the Deutz would not pass EPA regulations anymore.

It has snowed all day here, hard at times.. We have only accumulated about 3-4 inches as the ground is still warm and it is melting from the bottom. Very little on the roads as they melted as it hit. BUT,BUT It is supposed to go down to 10 degrees with some wind chill factor tonight, So they will be a skating rink in the morning!! And thru Monday as well as it is not supposed to warm up enough to dry the roads.

Still NO headache rack or headboard on the trailer?? I will be that driver will insist on them in the future!!!

Just on the TV news. Supposed to start 0600 Saturday morning and by all day give us about 2 to 4 inches.. That will be a major blizzard for these people in the south.. Probably will not get any plows out until Monday??? I will sit home and laugh at them!!

Things have pretty well cleared up around her. BUT we are supposed to get more snow on Saturday.. Was 10*F this morning my pipes held OK.. Supposed to be in the 20's every morning into the middle of next week.

Same here!!! Was 12 this morning and are supposed to have a high of maybe 40. Supposed to stay like this all week with back to 10 Sunday AM.

Vlad, I presume a large part of your problems are getting a visa from Russia??? The pictures I posted when we got home was on the old Just Old Trucks website and that crashed an we lost everything. Those pictures were in a better timeline order and the topic was 9 pages long. I have lost Stephanie's email address, but I still have John Vanatta's, so he could forward hers to you. You would also have to add New Zealand as there is the big Richardson museum there. I was thinking about going back in about 2019, flying into Rockhampton or Brisbane, renting a car. There is a museum in Gatton, several private collectors in Dubbo, work my way south to Sydney and participate in the April Haulin of the Hume, stop at the Wall of Honor on the Hume (similiar to our Viet Nam memorial wall) which honors all of the drivers who lost their lives on the Hume HWY, do the Snowy River Hydro project, Then take the Indian Pacific train west across the Nullibor plain, do the gold mine in Kalgoorlie, and on into Perth. Contact Aussie Paul and he can probably help you find more museums and private collections to visit, as well as possibly a ride on the Haulin' of the Hume??? Have Paul send you a map of Australia with some of the stops highlighted.

Irish Paul, Just click on the big picture in the post. It will then open the Flicker album. The same as the pictures of Macungie that Otherdog has posted..

Bob, It is Aussie not Ozzie!!!!!

Mark, I have seen videos of them.. They may be all right for their purpose, but will not be much help when the wind starts drifting the snow..

Have you tried Barry at Watts Truck??? 888-304-6225

Paul, With the exception of the 4 lane interstate highways the top sped for plowing is in the 35-40MPH range. Most of the rural roads your are working mostly about up to 30 MPH. Here is a picture of a real plow truck I had handy. Sorry not one of the Mack's but the biggest were set up the same way.

Looking Good!!!!!!! Please keep us updated.
