Is anybody else having trouble opening posts of the BMT wiki? I get some message that says to run a support tool in adminCP to restore the default theme. Does the same thing using a half dozen different browsers.

Engine fan stays locked cv713
doubleclutchinweasel replied to R.E.D's topic in Engine and Transmission
Is it possible to disconnect the wiring going to the fan clutch to see if the problem is electrical or mechanical? If the fan stays locked with no power, maybe the fan clutch is bad. If it unlocks when the wiring is removed, then it is getting a signal to lock...for some reason. Just trying to separate the problem into 2 smaller parts for you. Not really familiar with that particular piece. -
Rome K/G Blades

...and then came the rakes... -
Military called 'em "Rome Plows". Some folks call 'em "Shear Blades". We called 'em "Cutter Blades" (or "K/G Cutters" to differentiate them from "Vee Cutters"). I sure wish we'd had camera phones back then!

I know what you mean! Some of the stuff I used to think was ugly looks pretty cool now. Maybe it is just that it looks so much better than the stuff we have now? Or, maybe it's just that it takes you back to an earlier time? Either way, I am finding new interest in old stuff.

The GMC B-series looked very similar, didn't it? Found this on on the web.

Here is some interesting reading. Patent on what may be the first detachable gooseneck lowboy trailer. https://patents.google.com/patent/US2967720?oq=detachable+gooseneckgoogle.com

Ha-ha-ha! No, we just refer to them as "the little one" and "the big one". The "big" one is a good inch taller. But, sure enough, whatever color one is wearing, the other one will wear a different color or die! I hadn't even noticed those matching shirts! Good catch!

Here's a picture off the internet that someone posted of an old Ford N-Series. Anybody remember driving one of these? I never drove one, but I used to see a lot of them around home, back when the world was young and so was I... I never could figure out if they were a thing of beauty, or if they were...uhhh..."aesthetically challenged". But they sure had a tough look to them.

Researchers recently visited Amish country to figure out why there had been no COVID 19 cases there. After an exhaustive study, they determined that the virus is, in fact, transmitted by television.

Here is the absolute best advice I ever heard regarding oil: 1. some is better than none. And, 2. clean is better than dirty.

Dodge Road Tractors
doubleclutchinweasel replied to doubleclutchinweasel's topic in Other Truck Makes
The one I knew of, which was wrecked and rebuilt with a Peterbilt cab, stayed in service for a long, long time. Had Cummins power and a 13 speed Road Ranger. I got to drive it a couple of miles once, pulling a dump trailer, just to help out a neighbor. Looked funny seeing gauges with Dodge pentastars on them in a Pete. ‘Course, the blue and white Pete looked funny sitting on a green Dodge frame, too! -
Dodge Road Tractors

How about a Bighorn Short-Nose Prototype??? https://bangshift.com/general-news/money-no-object-the-prototype-dodge-big-horn-short-nose/ -
Anybody got memories of the old Dodge road tractors? The "LCF" (Low Cab Forward) series was pretty common around home. But, I only remember 1 Bighorn model. I read that only about 261 Bighorns were made over 3 years. Here is a pic off the internet of one of those. Nice nose, huh? Pretty sure is was that Bighorn that a local guy died in, and the truck was rebuilt with a Peterbilt cab on it.

Read a good article once comparing straight 30 to 15W40. For heavy pulling, they still recommended the straight 30. I would go into the details, but it would start an argument.

Probably different herd! Thanks!

Well, I just rewatched the season 2 episode with both trucks. No gold hood ornament. But, Claude Akins told his accomplice hat one truck had a 13 speed. Never saw the knob. So, not sure if they had a 10 and a 13 In both seasons or 2 13s In season 1 and 2 10s in season 2.
