I need one early 237 Jake lash cap. Big diameter: .468. The are NLA from Mack. Small ones won't fit.

Ya, not going to make it. What else is new? Someday.

At least Manson finally got off the payroll. Always like this little clip: I agree, those two pyscho's that tortured their children for 29 yrs should be hung by their toe nails and left be be eaten by rabid rats.

So what is that in ENGLISH???

Just so you know...... ALL tv sucks. I take Alka Seltzer Plus gel tabs. They dry me up and wipe me out so I can sleep it off.

As they say........"it was fun while it lasted"..........

I always do a quick lookie at that yard next to the pike when I run through there. Never quick enough with a camera though.

I bought one of those lil metal sheds to put my lawn tractor in. Holy COW!!! The bag of screws was half the weight of the box LOL!!! Took a few nights to screw that little 10x10 together. I can just imagine the bag of bolts for that "little" shed. Of course a few years back a tree dropped a huge limb though the roof and now it's a worthless, leaky shed. Need to replace it with a bigger one(after I buy a few battery packs for my cordless drill!! )

My guess, and I'm no power steering expert.....seems like the spool valve or whatever controls the fluid is stuck or at least not moving for left hand turns. Thus making it impossible to turn left. With the engine off, does it turn hard both ways? The same effort as left turn WITH the engine running? I think Tom, Fuzzy Buzzard, just put Shepard on his wrecker last year when he put a 237 in it. Might be something he could assist with?

The build part is fun with the King hauler. it is just like building a real truck(just a lot easier since you an lift everything with one hand). I've had mine since 1996(right after they came out). The stuff they have out for them today is crazy! Very cool. Not cheap though, it is just another money pit.

Yes, FB has taken it's toll on many forums. Not all, but the smaller forums seemed to dry up as it is easier to just use FB. I still hang with all my old forums, I don't really use FB other then for certain projects and needs. I don't do "family" stuff or get into armchair quarterbacking on whatever is the story of the day on FB. My cheers to FB, when I needed a wrecker to pull the motor in the Mack, BOOM, one post and I had one. Needed to sell the old motor< BOOM, one post to a fellow that needed motor. Gone! It has its good points. Beyond that I stay away. Oh ya, the BMT upgrade? I didn't have any issues with it. Ya, the new look took some getting used to but the function was never an issue(and I have an old laptop at home).

If I would just get mine in one piece and leave it alone. I've enjoyed watching videos from those shows. The german guys are crazy with what they build.

Hi Rob. Good to see you lurking around.

I'm sure Joe's H model surprised a LOT of guys thinking it might have some little 673 in it!

Well, I checked the extinguisher in the kitchen and it doesn't seem to match the recall. Haven't dug into the truck or race car yet to see if they might.

Very sad indeed.

I got to run that old 1949?(real early model long hood forward) R3 at the local train place. Yup, it was like a 237 for chugging the black smoke.

Where's the youtube video of the Russian guys starting the D9 using a bonfire under it??

Was watching some Arnold movie last night. Dang, he's getting old. He was this small town sheriff going after some big drug lord guy. Anyhoo, the drug lord had some heavy hitter badass dude that looked to have a 1872 Colt, 44 caliber, single action kinda old western gun. Yup, that thing was like a gatlin gun and never once saw him pull the hammer back or put bullets in it. Hmmm, Hollywood magic gun? I have one, but it is only a .36 caliber. Looks just like it, matching serial numbers and actually shoots pretty well.

Likely just another guberment day off? I'm sure they ALL voted for that!!! Wonder if in EIGHT years there will be a Donald day?

Wow...........just looking at that bike outside in the snow makes me cold LOL!!! If it isn't near 50*F, I don't get on mine. I'm not diehard enough. I have enclosed vehicles with heaters in them for cold weather LOL! We've been in single digits the last week. Teens during the day. Looking to stay that way through this week. (well it is January). I look at it as just another day closer to spring! Here's me on my 149 Cub pushing a little snow a few years ago. We haven't had enough the last two winters for me to even get the blade on it. (not that I'm complaining)

Glad mine sits inside til April! I do wonder how the old air starter would do in frigid temps? I haven't looked at the air pressure gauge lately but a few weeks ago it was still up over 100 psi. That is only down like 10-15# from when I shut it off in Oct. I know the old 673 would fire up unaided in 18* weather. I tried it years ago. Don't know how the 237 would act?

Found this on Ebay. Some one was looking for a new door/hinges. Kinda pricey, but maybe you can talk them down if no one bids on it? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mack-B-model-glove-box-door/253323564305?hash=item3afb42d511:g:k0UAAOSwlptaAJ3m&vxp=mtr

I've seen the video of the car hauler with all the Porsche's? that got run over by a train. Or was it just older cars?
