Stay strong Mike.

Definitely BIG sky country! I woulda picked smaller trees to plant myself...............LOL!!

I have thoughts of going. Weather will determine if I actually go or not. If it is going to rain for 3 days, I'm staying home. It has been a real fustercluck with ATHS and getting real life information about this show. They finally put a map up on the FB page about a week ago? I want to hook up with a bunch of old time friends and this is the only place I get to do it.

Went through this 15 yrs ago after I moved. My zoning says "no semi-trucks outside on less then 1 acre". A semi truck is "not a car, pickup, boat, camper". That narrows it down pretty well. I went to zoning, tried for variance. No good. They gave me a year(since I just moved in) to do something with it. I figured it was a neighbor that turned me in, but I have lots of duplex(rentals) so they come and go like water. I think likely a township truck saw it? Anyway, I had to cut the wall out of my garage and put a barn door in to be able to get it inside. It fits, as you have seen. A tarp or fence was NOT an option. There was NO getting around it. I showed where I parked it, it has historical tags on it, blah, blah, blah. Nope, no good, nothing got it away from their "semi truck" description. I do leave it out occasionally and don't worry much. Any of my adjoining neighbors have no issue with it, as they are all long time residents. Unless you can show there are others in your area with trucks and can convince them they have to take care of all them first? It's a stretch.

Abso-dam-lutely amazing work.

I remember it. It was parked up at the end of the row I was in. It had an air starter on it.

Just a little update. It's all together and I got to try it out last weekend in the hills of PA. Works really nice. Need to adjust my pedal switch just a touch as the vibration at higher speeds tend to flutter the switch and deactivate it. Holding the gas pedal up with slight pressure makes it work again. Used it on the big hill at Milroy, on 322. Kept my speed and never really had to hit the brake pedal to hold speed. Too bad my transmission is so sloppy I really have to hold the shifter in gear. It tends to want to jump out.

Two stick 12 spd. There was one for sale on here last fall? I'm sure someone that knows more about them, but I'm guessing it is the early version and the air shifted one was later?

I had my first and only hand at rebuilding an oil cooler when I put one on my 237(it was missing). I cleaned it up, washed it thoroughly in the parts washer to get all the old baked on oil residue out of it. New O rings and it sealed up nicely. Should last the time I'm around to drive it.

Ya, Billy, I have it all together and working well now.

I checked them out at Beaver on Friday night. Looks good. Driving home Saturday night, I could see the faint reflection in the corner stainless of the trailer. I should have gotten a picture.....I'll try to remember in a couple weeks when I get it out again.

Here I was thinking it was something I did. Glad to hear it wasn't! I'm good with it.

Figured it wouldn't take you long to get back into complain'n bout Momma's weight.........

Badass Paul. Sorry it won't be able to run at FE Reunion with that 9 in it. Someone had a Mustang funny car there for sale. Rough, real rough. Roller, no motor. Forgot to take picture. Bill, Beaver Springs PA. Over by Carlisle. That setup you made is how many smaller diesel pusher RVs are set up. Air over hydraulic. Just a chamber hooked to master cylinder.

Shotgun as in Boss 9? That is what I typically hear it as. Not referring to FE Cammer or Sohc.

Yes.

I see John a few times a year. He usually brings his other Tridrive B to our local show in Ashland. I've run my B against him in the slow race. He beats me!

I used to have the gain maxed out to get any brakes. By the time I got to the other side of PA I had to crank it down to about half. It was overheating the resistors and you could smell it while driving around town. Works really well. Very happy with it.

All new brakes and turned the drums. Ya, I broke it last year. This was just stupidity of not addressing an issue and it caused failure. I'm not always the brightest bulb in the pack. If it wasn't muddy and wet I likely would have jacked the car up and got under there and adjusted the shifter and not had problems. Oh well.

Trailer brakes work excellent. Unfortunately I hurt transmission in car so no extra money for truck transmission. Ugh....that racing.

Beautiful today for the trip. About 50 cars here now. Made me some dinner on the grille!! Time for some shut-eye. Weather tomorrow still 50-50.

Weather looks marginal now....but I'm making the trip. Beaver Bob still runs this event.
