Freightrain

Hot Damn I thought that parking lot looked awfully familiar LOL! I stop for fuel there when I go that way. That black/red Freightliner? Or whatever it is sits there all the time and was my clue that is where you were sitting. I'll send ya my number so if you run into trouble give a jingle.

Long live the WIG WAG!!!! LOL!! No annoying buzzing required!

Geez, there ya are stuck in Canton...............and did ya call ol 'train?? Nope, nadda............. I'm ashamed....................LOL!! Only time I was at KW of Canton was for a truck show a few years back. I see Reed's brought their big boy to haul you away. Trying to fig'r where you were stuck, but not looking familar. Almost looks like the Duke down at rt 36 and 77?

Wow...that really suxs. Sorry to hear about it. My gut hurts thinking about something like this happening to anything I own.

Oh, I see. There's a bounty on my aquired possesions............................."me", not so much. Didn't see that coming..................LMAO!!!

Thanks guys. Time will tell. I'll take the cake anyway.

Come on guys. Time to belly up and do a good deed for the day. I have to work on collecting my "bail"........................... http://www2.mda.org/...031&pg=personal Even a dollar makes a difference. Thanks

Not bad, they welded the stock front end together and made it tilt. Much better looking then a Clariben! They list it as a 235HP motor. Not! Don't care for the tiny air cleaner either. I can't say it should last very long before it gets plugged up. Doesn't not look like it would have enough surface area.

Ive fired mine in near single digits just to see if it would. No block heater, no ether, just batteries and some cranking speed. I was surprised when it lit off! Those four group 31 batteries roll that lil 673 over effortlessly. Kinda hard on things but I wanted to know if it would come the need to. I kept it just off idle til it would stay running on its own. 50yrs old and still going strong. BTW the block heater isnt too hard to replace. I had to remove mine to allow for spin on filter set up. I could have reinstalled it farther back in the block but didnt feel the need to have it anymore.

Wow.............find me a nice ENDT673C and I'll set ya up with a smooth running P motor LOL!!!

Hope you find the lil pricks AND get the chance to teach them a lesson in reponsibility.

I am another that rarely talks while driving(unless I have to). If I know I'm going on a road trip I grab my ear bud and stick it in my pocket. That way when I get on my way and need to call I just stick it in my ear and chat away. It's funny to see people with them in their ear 24/7. I use it, then take it out as it does get uncomfortable after a while.

Ya, no sense in having the chance of screwing this one up Wayyyy to nice for that. Ill grin and bear it til the roads are cleaned up, no fine gravel!

What suxs is it's been really nice up to this past Thurs. We haven't had much of any snow yet this year. Of course they called for a good dump on Friday/Sat and it actually did! Of course they say mid 40's by Tuesday, so it's not long lasting. Don't want to ride in the salt/crap, but likely will take it around the neighborhood at some point. Most I can do is sit on it and rev'r up LMAO!!!

Bit the bullet and got what I really wanted. Been looking for a few years and this came into my life and I had to get it. Super clean, low miles, near unmolested and ready to ride. 2007 Softail Custom, 96ci/6 spd. Black and chrome! I trailered it home today(uh, it snowed yesterday), so now I have to sit and look at it for 3 months LOL!!! (woe is me). The picture does it no justice. First saw it Monday evening and knew I was going to do whatever it took to own it. Just had to share.

As you get older, it is funny to watch the very "non caring" world of a baby. Eat, sleep, play, repeat.

Right off the treadle pedal would be my best guess, at least that would be close to hook up anyway.

Is the cable in good shape? Not real sure, but maybe a good ground from the antenna to chassis might help. You would think that the shield in the cable would ground it back to the radio and would work fine? What brand antenna? could be faulty? Tried a SWR meter on it?

The 2000 PSD only had a muffler, no cats(yet). I built a Z bend to replace the muffler and left the stock tailpipe(3 1/2"). Loved to leave the rear slider open when pulling my trailer and listen to it bark pulling hills(especially going under an overpass).

"Hippee's"........(AKA Higbee's, kinda like Monkey Ward) is likely just a NE Ohio thing?? We had one here in Canton(hour south of Cleveland) but they are gone now. Out of the two big original malls here, JC Pennys and Sears are the only two left that are still open AND in their original stores. Mellet Mall, which is now Canton Centre is basically a Wally World. They tore most of the mall down and replaced it with mini strip plazas. Mellet was the first "BIG" deal back in early 70's. The open courtyard was soon closed in for year around use. Belden Village grew up in the north end of town in late 70's and has been the reason for the other mall closing up. BV was built on a swamp area and turned into a mega metropolis! The Christmas story house is a big attraction and you can do the whole tour thing, a friend did a few years ago. I need to look in my toolbox, I think I still have a Monkey ward jig saw? Hmmmm.

My blower is a Jacobson(late 60's-early 70's), the original 2 stroke engine had issues so bought a 3.5 briggs for it. Bald hard rubber tires, but that thing will cut through ROCK. My neighbors were always amazed at the crap that thing would dig through(ie: that frozen crusty piles the city plows leave at the bottom of your drive). The new plastic versions, with rubber flapper wheels won't move dry sand on a windy day.

Back when I had my 2000 PSD dually with a straight pipe on it, it sounds like a baby V8 mack(only 440 ci instead of 998 ci). V8 diesels have their own sound, nothing like a 6 banger. Sure do miss that truck.

Monkey Ward!!! Alright, I remember them well. Higbee's, Oneil's, JC Penny's, Woolworth...................all the great stores.

Trent, ya, I'm on the bullet occasionally. Pretty "open" moderating for sure. I go by "battlestar". Sorry to burst your bubble there Tom LOL!!! She has actually yet to ride down the track in anything yet. I have taken her for a warm up spin in the wagon at the end of the track. Most tracks allow it for warm up before time trials start. I kinda let it loose once and grabbed second gear really early. She was like "Wow, is that is fast as you usually go?" I just laughed and said I never even got it up in the powerband yet!!! Plus there are 4 more gears to go LMAO!!!! She enjoyed it, not sure if she would for a real ride. She does like riding in the hot rods(mostly for the attention more then the speed--which I'm pretty tame anymore on the street...it isn't worth the headache).

Actually that is my buddy who races too. That was New Years day a few years back, the one local track has a race called "hangover Nationals" on new years day. Run it rain, sleet, snow, whatever. It was warm and dry that day so I grabbed the hot rod instead. You run on the index of the year(like 20.12 for this year), so going fast isn't the issue. They get near 200 cars every year.
