Red Horse

Amen!

Wow-What town you in Jim?? Worth a trip. On the subject of leaf peepers I always said -Columbus Day weekend in New England was one of our biggest weekends for hauling a lot of gas!

Agree-but guess what-have Fox on and they just interviewed Shillary and told her Trump was likely to bring up Bill's sexcapades. She quickly says.."he can do what he wants, I'm going to talk about issues" And she's right- who gives a f--k about what BJob Bill got or who cares about a Miss Universe from 20 years ago. Trump has got to put his ego aside and move on to issues. Like I said, his handlers are either stupid or ineffective in getting him to set his macho man image aside and talk about substance. There are just too many negative things that keep piling up and he does nothing to "move on". We are going to hear him spout off again on Miss Venezuela. You are right Donald-she won a commercial beauty pageant and should have kept herself in shape for the sake of her "sponsors". She didn't. I don't give a shit about that. That issue is doing nothing to protect my grandkids future!! I want to know HOW you are going to restore jobs-and Ford by the way is making you look like a complete dumbass with your speech on forcing them back to the US from Mexico-Ford Donald employs MORE hourly workers in US and builds MORE vehicles in US than GM or Fiat-and by the way didn't take a government bailout. And the cars they will move out of that Michigan plant go for under 25g's and the new Ranger/Bronco will likely sell for well over 35g's. Oh and Ford brought back F=650/750 form the Navistar JV in Mexico and are building them in a Ford plant in Ohio. I know this-most of you guys probably know this-he doesn't???? He has so much good material to work with but choses to spout irrelevant bullshit. But what can you say about a 72 year old guy with blond hair? And just think what anyone of us could have done if we had been given a million bucks when were starting out and more importantly had immediate financial relief everytime we came close to going under. Stick to the issues Donald. Keep up the bullshit and we are going to keep hearing more about you insulting the handicapped reporter, making your expensive cloths in China or some third world shithole, etc etc.

Hah-I've shown my TWIC card every now and then to a TSA "officer" and I might as well have shown him my Sears credit card-no clue what he was looking at.

Guys, As I see it we are screwed. We are NOT going to win this on the "old white guy vote". I don't know about everyone else but all the females in my family have no use for the Donald. We may like his message and the fact he thinks a lot like we do when it comes to running something-be it a business or government, but the fact remains-too many big voting blocks are against him. And for sure-most important election in our lives-in particular with all the Supreme Court vacancies coming up. Let's hope Pence kicks this POS that Shillary has running with her on Tuesday. If the Donald can't appeal to a broader base, lets hope Pence can

Thx for response. Mass waived the bridge formula when they went to 99,000 back in like 80 (?) we had 11,800 gal Heils with 50,000 lb tandems on tank-axles were set forward so nice for getting in and out of old locations You still see some of these old Heils in service. Would be nice if Me, NH, VT Ma and RI were uniform. forget about Ct!-still at 80,000 on 5 axles I think

OK Maybe I'm thinking of Detroit powered U's. I'm thinking Roadway had some-I just remember the jacked up hoods.

So what does a triaxle tractor and triaxle trailer let you haul in NH that tandem tractor and triaxle trailer won't?

Glad to see Eaton is a player. Glad to hear that vs. Getrag, ZF etc. Also your comment on Hendrickson

I think there are a lot of us on this site that could do a better job of prepping the Donald than his "handlers" do. Let's hope he looks at the videos and if nothing else does something about his facial expressions.

Weren't the V-8's U700's??- they had about 3" of added fiberglass on the hood at the wheel wells.

Thx- well credit to the Aussie Ford guys for covering the logo-the US guys would not have bothered! Good looking Hino-probably a matter of time before we see that here.

thx- I based my statement on the Fleetowner coverage. You would have thought they would have given the US companies a bit more coverage.

And No GM, Paccar, Ford, Navistar? Guess this is a Euro show for sure-not a "World" show???

So Kevin- What is that boom truck. doesn't look like any Cargo I have seen. By the way-that stability control video is impressive-do the GM twins have that feature?-or Tacoma??

22 million pages??? Seems like producing that many copies is penalty enough. How many people does it take to analyze that much data-a stack of paper over 2000 ft. high. Of course its not paper-assuming most of the stuff is in some sort of electronic file but think of the cost of the investigation alone???

Happy anniversary Matt and many more. Have seen more than one wedding scene where the bride shows up in a B, but never three!

Wow-Never saw it!

Elenco was an aftermarket axle-not sure if it was a Ford factory option. Company was sold to an individual who was rebuilding them. Try Yesterdaystractors.com The 841 at the show did not have a shuttle stick but the one I ran did-mounted on left side of cowl. Not a "power shift"-this was an old school gear tractor so you had to be stopped to change direction but it was still quicker than shifting the tractor trans into reverse.

Opps- sorry guys-like I said-I ran it 50 years ago so I AM old-and forgetfull

Well I have to add to Beatngu's post. This was loaded on that very nice red LJ with the big chrome bumper. Its an 841 Ford with an Elanco driving front axle. Hate to admit it, but 50+ years ago I was working my way through school working for a contractor and we had such a Ford-with a 14' backhoe. Back then about the only 4 wd loader backhoes were big buck DynaHoes. But this little Ford was a working machine. Also had a set of brush forks-no such thing as grapples then- as well as a York rake. The backhoe took about 5 minutes to swap out. Only issue with the front axle was I believe there was a shear pin that would fail-not too sure about that. In any case, like the LJ, this tractor is mint-unfortunately didn't get the owners name but he should be very proud of the Mack and the Ford!

A few shots from great show this weekend at Saratoga County Fairgrounds: Maddog's B-61 Long time Mobil employee Lee Cook and his B and LJ painted in Socony Red colors from "back in the day" when he started with Mobil Andy Henderson's beautiful B-73 with a couple of young admirers

Excellent-as always, numbers don't lie!

What bullshit! The lesson here? Crime pays! The scumbag makes a pile of money, gets caught, gets 12 months in the can and must pay back a half a million! How many dirt bags will look at this and say-...."Hell, its worth a shot-if we don't get caught, we make a pile-if we get caught we do a a year in jail. Go for it!" Add to this we are not talking about a common street dirtbag-we are talking about someone who raised his right hand to serve his country. I agree with Grayhair-well maybe life in the can would be a good compromise-certainly NOT a slap on the wrist.

Had the SHO into dealer today for brake job. 84,000 miles, no vibration or anything just thought it was time-fronts were fine need rears only! In any case on new 2017 Super Duty in lot. F-250 , XL, Gas, 4 x 4. Very impressive looking truck. 10,000 GVW pkg! Thought that was 350 territory. Anyway everything about it looks beefy-including the price 40 g for an XL!
