Does it look anything like this: If it doesn't, you need to try harder. Ben P.S. That's my facebook profile picture.

Great story! I'm with the girl though, I absolutely HATE the city. My grandparents live in Pittsburgh, and when I visit, I can't wait to get out of there. Ben

One thing: That's seriously a sissy-lala tractor. She needs to pose with something like this: Ben

Right! I'm not cool either, I'm just AWESOME. There's a difference. Ben

Well, to me, the huge "BIGMACKTRUCKS.COM" written across the top kinda gives it away, but I told them that it was just a Mack Trucks fourum site, but I guess they still weren't cool with it. Ben

No, no, no. What you said about them. You thought they were good looking and stuff. I thought it would make them happy to hear that. But I guess not. Cousin Ben

That's what I thought. It's a friggin Mack Trucks website for pete's sake! I thought they wouldnt care, but apperently I was wrong. I shoud have just told them what you said instead of sending her the link. Or just PMed it too you and not posted it at all. Cousin Ben

Heck yea I said I'm sorry! Didn't you look at the rest of that thread? They read that. I texted and called them saying I'm sorry. I'm going to 4-H camp for three days this weekend and they'll be there, hopefully they we can work it out then. Cousin Ben

They still won't talk to me. Ben

No! It'd be really boring then. Cousin Ben

Yea, I'm with Vinny. I do know some country girls that are pretty hot, but I'm not gonna post any pictures without asking. I really dont wan't to go through that again. Ben

Glad to have you here. Like fxfymn said, send a letter to the Mack Meseum, they'll take good care of you. Good luck on your project! Remember to post lots of pictures as you go, we love pictures. Ben

I can't imagine what this site would be like without Vinny. All the threads would be half as long because we would never mention U models. We would never say anything about rolling to the left, or lopsidedness or counterweights, or fast right turns or anything like that. Ben

What sucks is niether wish ever comes true. Ben

You know, I could have easily lived on with my life of peace and bliss without reading this thread, but no, I just had to check up on what my dad was doing. Ben

B.S.! Move the boat with a Two-Stroke, hold it still with a four stroke. Ben

Heeyyyyyy!!!! Ben

I'm with you. My mom wouldn't let me until now. Ben

Actually, I just made myself a facebook page and I'm working on getting it set up. Ben

Wow, I feel really bad for them. That's a terrible way to go. Ben

Well, it took a day, but I'm in deep trouble now with those girls about posting the photo. I guess they thought I was only showing it to you, Vinny, and when they saw I posted it here, it caused a concern. I posted it on Saturday night, she saw it then, but she didn't say anything until today. Now none of them will talk to me, plus the one girl's boyfriend is upset too. So I'm pretty much skrewed. I guess I should have asked before I posted it. So I deleted it. Krista and Kristen, (and Tyler) If you guys are reading this, I'm sorry. I didn't know it would upset you guys, or else I would have never even thought about it. You don't know how terrible I feel about this. What I did was wrong, and I definately learned my lesson. I really hope you guys can forgive me and we can still be friends. I'M SORRY!!! Ben

Ha, Ha, Ha! ROTFLOL!! That's funny, Dad. But really, The way they're set up, when a Detroit isn't running, the injectors settle at full throttle. This helps make them very easy to start. Until the flyweights on the governor move out and pull the rack closed, the injectors stay at full throttle. When they sit for a while, the injectors tend to get stuck at full throttle and therefore, the engine runs away. When it's stuck at full throttle, it can start to suck its own oil and in turn, revving even higher. That's why they blow up. Cousin Ben

He said BEANS! Welder's FLASH! you guys are killing me! Seriously, you're setting a bad example for the young viewers. Kids try to replicate the things that they see on the internet, with that in mind, maybe a disclaimer of some sorts is in order. For instance; "kids, don't try this at home" would go a long way, but more specifically "kids, NEVER eat Taco Bell before trying to weld bare-assed" would serve the public-at-large much better, as a point of reference, I ask you to view Blazing Saddles to see the possible outcome. Mongo loves beans,indeed. Jumper

The REAL Jumper here. Ben and I had a Scania run away on us when we first lit the B model up. Fortunately, Ben is a you-tube addict and had seen those other videos and we were prepared for it (a piece of tile to cover the intake). We recently got a 4-71 from a motor grader with 250 hours on it because it was junked for running away. Upon removal of the valve cover, it was determined that the cotter key vanished from the governor rod at the rack. I paid 20 cents a pound for the engine because of a 5 cent pin! Life is good. Detroits are more prone to run away because of the pump-less injectors sticking from sitting, as well as the 2 stroke design with the air intake at the bottom of the cylinder sleeves dang near in the oil pan. Vinny, nice meeting you at the show. Wasn't a U model something that the Germans had during the second world war? Does yours have a periscope?

Ohhh, I see. Our B60 had a 464 originally. Ben
