  1. yea, site work you can get away with a 5 speed. buy if you try hitting the road you need a 13 minimum or better an 18 for the hills. nothing worse than catching a red light on the bottom of a hill and trying to get 80k moving up it and end up taking a mile to hit 35 mph.
  2. that truck is just as purrty going down the road as it is at shows. they keep it in tip top shape . and the low boy it drags around looks brand new too. i actually saw it going into the caterpillar dealer today around 10:45 am
  3. triaxle needs an 18 speed.
  4. not the iron duke, that was the chevy 153 4 cylinder. it was replaced with the AMC 4.o six cylinder starting in the early 70's when AMC took over jeep brand. same with your cousins chevy II, it had a chevy 153 4 cylinder, not an "iron duke"
  5. iron duke was a 4 cylinder iron block from the late 70's early 80's for pontiac. sorta like the chevy 153 used in the chevy II/nova in the 60's
  6. someone who is not here legally. ya know, no citizenship, no green card, no work papers.
  7. fuzzy grainy cell phone pics, and no truck description besides cummins engine. either he is a scammer, and the truck is a real turd, or he is just clueless on how to sell something
  8. now that is just mean. a real nice farmer would have switched from growing taters to raising hogs...............or chickens.
  9. agreed. i got a complaint yesterday that my garage was too big for the area and was blocking the view of the waterfront. by the asterisk that built a massive 3 story mcmansion down the street. not my fault you built a $750,000 moneypit in an area full of $130,000 propertys.
  10. if the turbo ain't working, it will look like a steam locomotive going down the road with all the black smoke pouring out of the exhaust.
  11. if it was, it ain't there any more, as greystone was knocked down in 2016
  12. post is 8 months old, and the ad is long expired. so i would safely say it is also long sold.
  13. i have no problem with that either, since i don't have a wi-fi.
  14. the difference between the green one and the white one is age. old were green, new are white.
  15. my bet is the site has sulfuric acid contamination, and they are tilling lime into it to neutralize the acid.
  16. never said everyone should carry at all times. if you do not feel carrying a weapon is your thing, that is your prerogative. but i will still defend you against bad guys if needed. i simply said that "gun free zones" as said are free range shooting galleries for the bad guys, and i refuse to go into an establishment that has a "gun free zone" sign on the door. i have carried either a 38 or 45 concealed for over 40. and have used my concealed carry weapon numerous times to defend myself and others, also to assist law enforcement officers. i also agree with swift justice, but the snowflakes of the world these days feel coddling is better than punishing. as long as criminals know that they will only get a slap on the wrist for their crimes they will continue without fear.
  17. ever notice that mass shootings only happen in "gun free zones" ?
  18. oh, ok. if it was in Greenfield in 2016, then it was not Al's cause i did not sell it until January of 2017.
  19. that looks an awful lot like my buddy Al's truck we sold two years ago after he passed away. it did not come from New Jersey, did it?
  20. in jersey tandem barrel trucks carry 10 yards. a lot of companies are going to front discharge triaxles though.
  21. that looks like an old rear packer garbage truck with top mount hydraulic tank.
  22. around here, silt fence has to be up before a shovel is allowed on the property!
  23. except now they do not put up the white picket fence before pouring the foundation.
  24. 35 years ago a friend was getting into paving and was looking for used equipment to save a little money. i knew one of the local contractors was selling a roller and a few trucks, so i took Al to see him. when he said 10 grand for the 1958 Galion 6 ton rollomatic roller, i knew he was having a bad day and said see ya later. he was normally a nice guy, but for some reason he would not sell that damn roller. for about 5 years whenever we asked about it he said "10 grand. take it or leave it. i got it , you want it. pay my price or get out" in 1990 he died, and later that year they held an auction. we bought that roller, a 1980 F350, 1989 eager beaver 10 ton tag along trailer and a 1980 Autocar tandem dump for $4,500. at the end of the auction when we were paying, his daughter came up to us and told us she was glad we got the roller and trucks, because if we did not buy them they most likely would have gone to the scrap yard. we later found out the F350 and dump trucks both had brand new engines in them. the 350 blew the engine due to lack of oil and only had 500 miles on the engine, truck only had 22,000 miles on it. autocar had a brand new 390 cummins in it. the truck was hit the year before and the car cracked the block when it hit the front axle. new front axle and engine, then it was never put back on the road, but used to empty the asphalt plant. 125 miles on the engine, and 94,000 miles on the truck all were still in use when Al died from a heart attack last year.
