    could be, it WAS close to 30 years ago. i guess i may be mistaken and reverse was on the splitter and not the main stick.

    if we had done christmas decorations as a kid, the house would have had bah humbug on it. dad was a mailman for 35 years. we did not see him between thanksgiving and christmas, he left on 4am the day after thanksgiving and did not come back home until after midnight on christmas. he averaged 20 hour days during that time

    the main stick, reverse and 5 forward gears. air splitter was low, direct, and overdrive. then the small stick was deep reduction in first and reverse.

    we were discussing older trucks we drove today, and i remembered a late 70's early 80's superliner tractor i ran with a dump trailer back in the late 80's early 90's. it had a V8 and a strange trans in it. 13 speed air shift, but it also had a small about 6 inch tall deep reduction stick between the driver seat and main stick, but much closer to the seat than main stick. low, direct, and overdrive. but 4th and 5th were not reversed like most of the 13 overs from back then. anyone know what trans that may have been?

    this is all in response to the cheap bartstards that would rather save 10 cents on a part, then replace it 4 times. i have never understood the spend 10 dollars to save 10 cents mentality.

    check the valve for proper adjustment. my 2020 T880 would just barely go up at 1500 RPM, and drop like the box had 25 ton in it when empty blowing the fluid out of the hydraulic tank. after properly centering the control piston it now raises at idle, and comes down without blowing out the hydraulic fluid.

    how about the 2021 Ford Mustink? it is going to be an electric SUV. no more high performance gas engine street racer.

    it uses glitter and rainbow unicorn vomit that you can only get from tesla.

    i think it looks like something my nephews two year old son drew last week.

    heat inside the building above 40 degrees will melt the bottom against the metal roofing layer and the rest will slide off.

    third gear? fifth was the way to go! when we were doing the big highway projects building the on/off ramps, we used to get a running start up shifting until we were doing 30 MPH in reverse. just before the soft spot backpedal so you are not under power in the soft spot and fly rite through it. then back on throttle until you get to the dump spot 1/4 mile away up the ramp.

    if i remember correctly Bob, the one i ran was a Hathaway reject. the boss bought it for scrap price after the engine blew, and put a junkyard 350 cummins in it for use pulling the lowboy trailer. it was not a bad truck, but with the light weight rears it was not very good for the heavy weights i was hauling. kept on snapping the through shaft cause my average weight was around 150k lbs..

    all our 88 R models had the "mud stick" trans as we called them.

    i think this perfectly explains what is going to happen Bob:

    exactly why i suggested looking for where a zinc anode was.

    my reason for getting the 44 mag winchester was a bear hunt to maine. since they required a handgun of at least 357, i decided the S&W 44 mag i had would fit the bill. and then decided why have 2 different sizes of ammo? so i bought the 44 mag rifle.....then took a nasty fall and destroyed my left knee and hip, which ended any idea of hunting that year. and i never healed properly. so i pretty much stopped hunting because anything more than about 45 minutes standing/walking caused loss of feeling from hip down

    is there what is left of a sacrificial zinc anode on it? looks like electrolysis corrosion to me.
  23. tjc transport
    i picked up an Evil Roy 22 mag a few years ago. a real nail driver. and a pleasant gun to shoot too. the 44 mags are a handgun, and Winchester model 94

    yes it is. but we are in our own little slice of paradise here that the people on the other side of town do not even know exists. for them, the world ends at the parkway entrance while on their way to nu yawk city.

    never happen. because just when we think they can not get any more stupid, they prove us wrong by doing something ever stupiderer. like pushing mikey bloomingidiot for president 2020
