    🤔 you sure that's not an EV

    This whole woke/progressive nonsense is a huge promotion of no one being responsible or accountable for there actions or lack there if. These low lines are capitalizing on that

    It's true Jojo. Trump missed a lot of opportunities there last night. Lots of BS and meanwhile...... it keeps costing all of us.

    You're not supposed to notice any of those things you mentioned.

    Almost 20 years......where'd they go ?

    🤔 I wonder if anyone ever tried putting a Fuller isolator on a shift lever on a Mack transmission

    Paul, you have no idea the memories the Case brings to me. I actually have a picture on my desk under the glass surface of me when I was around 12 and I'm by a 1150 TC like that. You guys are still doing jobs with one. I love it.

    I think you're confusing the Ultraliner with the Cruiseliner.

    I had Elites. They had an "Elite" script in them. I got a couple after inventory at a dealer , and they weren't sure what they were. I think the CL700s came with a grill like in my avatar. That wasn't that truck's original grill.
  10. Mark T
    CL doesn't have that big script in the center. I had one went right in a '97 CH.
  11. Mark T
    Isn't that a CL grill ?

    12/22.5s ? are you talking steer position or drive/trailer duals ? A 12/22.5 will go on an 8.25 / 22.5 wheel, you'll likely need a wider spacer if it's in a dual position. If it's a steer position ? Geoff's right. More to it than just a bigger tire to carry more weight without incident. Might look cool and all, but more weight takes more than a tire swap, unless someone already went backwards trying to save a few bucks on tires on a truck speced heavier.

    Don't forget, back when seals were like that lots of stuff we take for granted weren't around then. Some things could be retroed and some couldn't.

    Surprising they didn't ask how long she supported big mike

    Didn't Internationals have that funky horn on the front of the frame that was also where the spring attached ?

    Just a thought, but you say what a rarity that truck is there. I wonder if some component failed on it at some point, and someone didn't do a thorough cleaning cause of scarcity of parts, like gaskets and such. No way that piece made it through an engine and it still has 6 live holes.
  17. Mark T
    Geoff is correct. Some guys refer to the part that needs to be changes as "legs" Might not be an easy thing to find as most bulk carriers used a fixed mounting like that to shave off some weight, and pulling a high cube dry van wasn't really thought about. You do have some nice angles on the frame with lots of holes already though. Might be able to get a lower slider on there relatively easily. Just be careful a used one isn't too worn out. New assembly will be way cheaper than trailer roofs and maybe worse.

    And yes, lube those threads and contact area of nuts and washers. A little under the U bolt top won't hurt either. Then retorque after a few miles .

    Only cheap torque multiplier would be a little 4 to 1. Only around 1000 pounds. Those have to be tight. Like did the multiplier guy even attempt to do it with a torque wrench on the multiplier ? 1500 foot pounds it a lot of torque. You need a multiplier , big bar and back, or a well functioning inch drive impact with lots of air. A little hand job even with a good torque multiplier may not be enough if the guy doesn't know how to use it.

    B converted to R Like Mech pointed out earlier, things were simpler then.
  21. Mark T
    R Model 1150 TC good old equipment for sure. Give a little credit to the opperator too. Nice job.

    Wonder if it folds down to put weight on it in case they used it as a second power unit hooked to another tractor. Looks like a hyraulic cylinder under it to move it. I was curious about it too.

    Sad part is , he really doesn't require a lot of effort to be convincing. We're #ucked

    That truck has a Strata Tube. That's where it gets it's air to blow through the intercooler. The one duct on the air cleaner is for when you flip that switch so the engine draws air from under the hood.

    No chance it was accidently over filled ?
