Quickfarms

I remember growing up there were these retirement villages in the next town and they had there own security with rent a cops and gates. The rent a cops wanted the fire trucks and ambulances to stop and wait for them to call the house before they could enter. That ended when the chief ordered the brush truck, 5 ton ex military, with full cage to push trees out of the way to respond with the engines. In the entrance the engines stoped and the brush truck took the lead. Somehow the brush truck took out both guard shacks and gates in one pass. As the story goes from that day on they had no problem entering any retirement village in the area even without runnning lights and sirens.

I am interested in a calendar but am not on Facebook thanks

the electric horn is under the hood. Roof air horns were an option but the navy did not order it that way. I plan on mounting an air horn under the hood Full Air brakes juice brakes were on the lighter trucks like the F600 the property is next to one of the many tank farms in the Long Beach CA area but I do not know who operates this one

It can be a bit choppy of a ride on the highway at times but it’s not that bad. The cab has air ride seats. Several leafs were removed from the front springs and they were re arched. The rear suspension was changed to a Rayco air ride. I still need to install the fifth wheel top plate and inner duels . I am considering adding a ping tank to the air ride To make it ride much better and to make the truck more useful I am building a removable flat bed We have no clue why the fuel filter ruptured. The filter is located between the mechanical lift pump and the injector pump. Any thoughts? could be just a manufacturer defect.

I took the truck out today for a little trip. Breakfast with some friends. Then to a small event that included trucks, military vehicles, model T and A’s, tractors, crawlers, motorcycles and railroad speeders and an industrial locomotive, but due to Covid there was no lunch. so we went to a friends house for a BBQ on the way to my friends house one of my secondary filters developed a 3/4” split down the side and sprayed fuel all over the frame. What a mess on the passenger side

We just spray when the air is still

New angles and powder coated

Striped down for repainting the frame

Bump

Better management is great closer management is often micromanagement by people that do not know how to do your job and is counterproductive

Looks like 3 cylinders to me

Bob I am happy you saw this, There is a breakfast at goody’s Colton, royal truck stop, Saturday morning at 8:00 next years show is scheduled for May 1, 2021

They are called fender flares in the states

Also replace, or rebuild, the purge valve, the spitter. They have a habit of spitting a lot when they are closed. Also check the governor and the small signal hose from the governor to the air dryer

Thanks It is actually an F800, the rears are singled out only because I need to repaint the frame once I finish installing the sliding fifth wheel

It’s no longer called global warming it’s now called global climate change! but before global warming there was some talk to we were headed to a new ice age. The truth is that the climate on this planet has been constantly changing. look at all the civilizations in the Middle East that is now a desert but 2000 years ago was not. The real question is what affect, if any, are we having on the change NASA had the best answer to this when they were discussing activity on the sun. They stated that they don’t understand what is going on. Years ago I was talking to Dr. Lucy Jones, Caltech earthquake spokeswoman, and I asked her how it was possible that the tech tonic plates could slide over each other without grinding them up, her response was that they don’t truly understand what is going on.

On September 12 the ATHS had there annual show that had been originally scheduled for May 66 trucks attended the show which is currently being held at the rail road museum in Peris CA

ATHS SC had our annual show, usually in may, on September 12th and the were 66 trucks that showed up and 20 Vendors in the swap meet. The show was at the RR museum in Peris CA The ATHS SC only missed one of our monthly breakfasts during this strange time. The Long Beach vehicle, and motorcycle, swap meets have been happening. The events in SoUthern California are significantly reduced but they are happening

When was the last time the cartridge in the air dryer was replaced?

With Covid 19 shutting down all of the shows the old trucks just need to be be driven.

I really need another four years of this so I can get the new shop built and paid for in cash!

For me it is the fact that they pulled the plug on Tapatalk. I do not like the mobile format, it feels like it’s based on DOS. I spend a lot of time in the field or shop and if I am in front of actual computer screens it is for work and I don’t have the time to look at this site. In the field I would often look at Tapatalk when we were waiting another issue is it is the hot part of the summer so very little is happening with vehicles that is not work related

Now 30 years younger with all the skills and resources I have now would be the ticket
