  1. very funny- I in fact do have a flashlight right here. Looking for batteries now.
  2. saw a reply and thought I was off the hook. meanwhile, still looking for lost tape measure.
  3. ...still looking for that tape measure...just saw it the other day
  4. I'll get right on it then.
  5. I don't, i'm going broke fast! However, the N14 is a great engine. More than I can say about a C-15 Cat ACCERT, another p.o.s.
  6. OK, I have another ideer- hey Paul...got a minute?
  7. How about if we just measure the spring hangers instead of doing all that? I'm not too worried about melting here, it's 21 degrees-perfect for laying outside under a truck.
  8. take a tape measure and measure the B-61 springs, then measure the B-67 springs. If the dimensions are the same then yes, they will fit.
  9. I found 1 place that had used trans. prices listed, but they only had the RTO12513 listed. Whether it's worth more, less, or the same as the RT I don't know, but it was $1350 used, $1750 reconditioned, $2000 rebuilt. Also a 12515 was $1200 at another used parts place, so that might give you a ballpark idea.
  10. could be as simple as a weak spring. the throttle spring on the '77 I drove worked backwards from what you would think-if it broke, which mine did twice, it would run wide open. I put a rubber strap on it along with the spring, just for extra "insurance" in case the spring decided to break again in a bad spot, like coming down the mountain with a load of chips.
  11. I just used one of these.
  12. I should have been printing all my pictures all along and making a book, could have called it "BMT Funnies". Now most of them have been deleted long ago. Oh well, I didn't even know I was a genious 'til yesterday.
  13. Truck's broke down, everything's shut down for Christmas, there was a foot of snow on the ground, now there's 2 inches of snow and 6 inches of mud on the ground- the excuses go on and on. I'll call headquarters right now and see if i'm getting out of here today.
  14. Yes, it'll ne good to get back to work and get some excercise. All i've done is sit around and get fatter for a week.
  15. Amen to that, well said!
  16. Well, I hope somebody is keeping a record of my geniousiosity then!
  17. sorry...I know I need help. This is a serious topic, not "Odds and Ends". As you know, the first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem, so I guess i'm well on my way then.
  18. So you could prolly look under the couch cushions, go through the junk drawers, clean out the closet, and build a computer with what you find...that's good to know!
  19. Bad news about the oysters-they were on the top shelf in the fridge and froze. The jar is cracked all up the sides. Jo's in favor of cooking them anyway, but i'm worried about glass slivers in them. I wrapped duct tape around the jar, but I just don't know...they cost $22 and I hate to throw 'em out, but when in doubt...
  20. It is a good looking unit. Knew i'd seen it somewhere before.
  21. A-HAH! I've got it! You can probably find an old knuckle boom loader somewhere off a pulpwood truck or something. Be sure to get one with about 37 control levers on it. Then you can mount it on one of your trucks and just park it out in back and get on it whenever you want to and move a stack of cinderblocks from one side the truck to the other or something.
  22. I stuck to the plan, didn't git nobody nuthin', except the digital picture frame for Mom and Dad and I got Jo a digital camera. We agreed earlier that we weren't getting anything for each other, but I knew better than to stick to that part of the plan! I was gonna get her a snow shovel, but I couldn't find one.
  23. geez, here we go again! You do not need a grapple truck.
