Old Jake brake thread. Brake saver retarder question
Brocky replied to BronsonA2150's topic in Engine and Transmission
I remember that at one of the ATHS national shows there was a man from California, with blue KW's with a gold stripe, that had a performance Cummins(??) engine mounted on a trailer with one of these electric retarders mounted behind it that he used to put a load on the engine when he fired it up. -
Same here, but so far just one quick heavy shower.

Dunno about CT!! But in SC the antique truck application only asks for empty/tare weight. NO gross weight needed!!
-
Paul, Diesel up here has gone up about a dollar and a half a gallon since this started. Gas also but not as much. I can understand with the Straight closed the import of crude is down and this will affect FUTURE prices. BUT BUT why has the price of the already refined product jumped overnight??????? I think the oil companys are ripping us off!!!!!!!!

Road Lights
Brocky replied to Outbehindthebarn's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Basically you are right!! That is one of the names for the additional lights either in or below the bumper, white or yellow, for better visibility in poor weather conditions. The best were made by Perlux and had fins to keep the light from blinding oncoming traffic. -
We both like the dill pickle chips you can find a some restaurants here in the south.

And check for the corrosion working its way back under the insulation breaking the wire??
-
I think Geoff is right on adding diagonal cables on the end. Possible a couple of sheets of the roofing material or aluminum channel / angle iron across the end to add some structural strength but leaving the top and bottom open to let the air out when the wind blows??? How well is it anchored??? Dig 4 or 6 holes under the bottom lengthwise rails and fill with concrete then drill some anchor bolts into them??

Brocky replied to wayne86's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Also check out the parking lot.. There may be an impromptu truck show out there by the pizza joint???? -
The alum steers and painted drives would be period correct with painted steel trailer wheels... Unless you but a trailer with Alum rims!!!

In SC it is supposed to cool off this weekend and back into the 40's next week

Mid- America Truck Show
Brocky replied to wayne86's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Contact either Brad Patterson (brad@aths.org) Chapter person or Courtney Cesar (courtney@aths.org) handles events or Call ATHS at 816-891-9900.. One of the two should know by now what antique trucks ATHS will have in their display. -
That is why we ran 2 or 3 log books!!!!!
-
Vey Good!!! I expect the change will go great.
-
Congratulation on the job change.. Will you still be in the transportation industry?????
-
Same here.. 44 legal years plus a few more before I got my what was then a CDL in 1967. I figure overall about 5 million (+/-)

Last Monday at the regional convivence store chain where I deal Diesel went from $3.19 to $3.99 in the 2 hours I was at the dentist!!!!

A man I worked for in PA ran all Cummins and I help him rebuild several. All had the pitting / cracking on one or two sides of the liner. He was blaming it on the quality of the water, and I added to him, not enough additives. With this discussion I am now learning a lot more about the pitting origins.

Tom, I have a 20 quart restaurant type pot.. 2-3 lb of hamburger, 2-3 lb of crumbled hot sausage, all browned, 2 big onions, 2 bell pepper, big box of fresh mushrooms, #10 can of tomato sauce, a whole bunch of Italian seasonings.. Let it cook all day and Umm Good spaghetti dinner!!! Put the left overs in 2 person sized portions, in the freezer. Cook some more noodles while sauce is nuking and Viola quick dinner..
-
It would NOT be the BMT if we stayed on topic!!!!!!!!
-
Yes sir!!! I can get the 1+ inch links of Italian Hot sausage, smoked sausage, Kielbasa, and Cajan sausage at our local market. Cook them in a frying pan and wrap them in a soft tortilla shell. Sometimes with Swiss cheese?
-
Scrapple is the floor sweepings from the sausage plant boiled in corn meal, with lots of spices and black pepper. Drained and allowed to set up in a loaf pan, then sliced and fried on a griddle. Every PA Dutch grandmother had her own recipe which she passed down to the next generation.
