  1. A B20 with a small diesel. Now that could be. Still like to know more about this.
  2. This is actually a 50 ton model. These guys have some really cool equipment.
  3. A 600mm pallet-size HMC and a 60" VTL. Nobody wanted them. So, la-la-la-la-la, off to the dump they went! The Trilifter is cool though, huh?
  4. Sending some old machines nobody wanted to the scrap yard.
  5. "I only used as much poison as necessary and not a 55-gallon drum more." Dale Gribble, regarding the chemicals used to control Hank Hill's ant problem in his lawn.
  6. Could it have been the pump motor off of Dale Gribble's insecticide sprayer?
  7. I was thinking generator or some other stationary application. Like Geoff said, not enough power for much of any kind of truck. This one definitely has me puzzled!
  8. If you've ever told the judge to "Hold on a minute" so you could "like" a post on BigMackTrucks...
  9. Now, if we can just figure out how Mack ended up with this thing!
  10. It sure looks like the White/Hercules that FJDRILL mentioned. But I can't find anything about when/where Mack used those engines. Sure would like to know more about that.
  11. When did Mack use those, or in what trucks?
  12. You sure have our curiosity piqued!!!!!!
  13. Kinda' off the wall, but could that be a mid-'50s Scania? Don't shoot me if I'm way off there!
  14. Good point on the Lanova heads. I will try to dig through some Mack info tonight and see if I can find anything that might at least narrow down the possibilities. I still bet Geoff knows!
  15. Cherokee Show 2313 Tsali Blvd. (Hwy 441N) Cherokee, NC. Saturday, October 21st. 8:00-5:00.
  16. 1. Is there a felt wiper that applies lube to the breaker cam? If so, add some grease to that pad to lubricate the cam and rubbing block. 2. DW has a more likely solution. If the voltage is wrong, the points might be sticking closed (think "arc weld"), putting too much load on the rubbing block while "breaking them open". This will definitely eat up the block in short order. I also had some points from Mallory one time that were just plain too stiff. But, I think that was a bad batch. They replaced them and I never had another issue with them.
  17. Here is another discussion about older stuff...
  18. That is more like where my mind was going, 67. Thanks for the details!
  19. Well, looks like Roosa had their first contract to produce pumps in 1952. So, still may be the earlier Mack diesel, before the ones I am more familiar with.
  20. Well, that DEFINITELY makes it interesting! Can't wait to see what this thing is! Earth to Geoff! Come in Geoff!
  21. That must be before my time. Maybe the late '30s-40s? I'll definitely be curious to find out what it is.
  22. Does anybody know, off the top of their head, the date and location of the upcoming Cherokee, NC truck show? I tried to look at the ATHS website to see the calendar of events, but all I found was a QR code to redirect me to an app to download. If I wanted a fu@#ing app, I would have gone to the app store. Too uppity to post the calendar on the website anymore? Screw that!
  23. Is that anything like "brain science"?
  24. Holy crap, Jo-Jo! That's a new one on me!
