tjc transport

not true. they did pay the money back.... they took the money from the second bail out, paid off the first bail out, then claimed bankruptcy. so in effect they DID pay pay the bail out back...................they just did not say which one.

it is ok to run over snowflakes, but you must have either studded tires, or chains on the tires for proper traction.

just saw this thread. cut my teeth in a loader with a 65 988...back in 74. then moved up to a 69 966 in 79. then to a 80 980 in 86. then in 88 we got a brand new 966. i slipped on the sand i swept out of the cab when it had 11 hours on it and fell off the machine, with my left leg going between the ladder and tank, almost ripping my leg off as i went down. i now stick to small machines like the 272 or 299 skid steers, much easier to climb into.

it is a metered delivery truck. can mix what you need on the job. from 1 wheelbarrow full, to the whole truck load.

no idea, i have not been up that way in about 5 years. google search shows nothing for A-N-D, but does show A&D in Little falls. they run petercars. https://adtowingservicenj.com

up until a few years ago they were almost all still in service too. Rt#17 north in Teterboro near the airport.

probably because you drive it like you own it, and they drive it like they stole it.

actually, Mad Max did drive a B model. well sorta. in the third movie they used a B model to escape bartertown on rail tracks.

correct, Frank senior is/was a very large exotic auto transporter based out of Paterson NJ. ya really can't mis his place, with the advertising on the side of the building and old transporter up on the roof. but since he is in late 80's early 90's, i would assume it is his son with the listings.

least he could have done was remove the original owners name, who also has a few pieces listed on the same page. real slap in the face type deal, listing it for sale for what i bet is a heck of A LOT more than paid for.

i don't think George Logan has that unit anymore. at least i have not seen it in quite a while....been at least 10 years.

the DM fender does flip up out of the way. unbolt the 4 bolts next to the radiator, and the 4 at the cab. then it pivots out of the way to the front.

i do believe he said "look at that old wanker in that old clunker"

may give you a heart attack though trying to spin it up!!

i remember the old bossman taking me to Glasofer Mack in Edison NJ to pick up one of them. it had 9 miles on it when i left the back lot. it had a little over 650,000 miles on it when i moved on in 95. great truck. 300hp with the "mud stick" and 58k rears. only thing wrong with it was the top speed of 52 MPH.

that is why here they now run auger bodys, and if you do have to lift it you are told to stop the truck on the shoulder of the road, or preferably in a parking lot.

in 2015 a low bidder on a stretch of state highway subcontracted a bunch of fresh off the boat immigrant triaxle drivers out of Newark NJ to plow rt 9 in Old Bridge. one of the drivers went under an overpass and lifted his body to tip back to the gate spreader. at 30 mph. and hooked a 4 inch diameter main phone cable... snapping 8 poles on both sides of the road.........before tipping it on it's side across the road blocking the south bound side. a trailer going northbound clipped the falling wires, snapping down another 4 poles up the side road...........before shutting down the northbound side of the road..... in all the highway was closed in both directions for over 16 hours before they could get the poles up and wires high enough to let traffic pass.

nope................................. 4 story!! 😆

i am talking about a one ton pickup with 8 foot plow not fitting. i many areas of nu yawk, it is not uncommon to see cars and trucks with mirrors ripped off or worse because the fire trucks and garbage trucks can not fit down the street. so they make room by wiping the sides off the cars parked on both sides of the street. here in my town, many roads are only 14 foot wide. if someone illegally parks on the road you can not pass with anything larger than a pickup.......WITHOUT a plow on it

my 88 is sitting at 495,000. same way too. the 7.3 still purrs like a swiss army knife. but the driver side rocker and 6 inches of the floor rotted out and fell off. i have a new cab to drop on it in once it warms up. the farm i grew up on still runs a mid 70's dodge grain body with a 190 cummins and 10 speed trans. not sure what it is, but it has the side folding hoods and wing fenders to access the engine. looks like the Air Force tanker.

i have been a lot of places where a regular plow truck can just barely get down streets, let alone a truck with a wing plow on it.

funny looking truck. heavy single drive axle with a small tire tag axle. that looks like a home made fuel tank, not a wet line tank. driver side has battery box where fuel tank should be, passenger side has what looks like air tank for air starter where fuel tank should be

also called a crash truck. the ones we built had arrow boards on the back frame under a 10 ton block of concrete or steel plate to bring total weight up to 25,000 lbs, and a Big folding crash attenuator mounted on the back.
