i would not put money on that. a friend has a F750 with the 6.7 and a 3500 gallon oil recovery tank. it is a runner, both empty or loaded.

not sure about down there in ausieland, but here in the northeast, that much ivy can grow in less than one year. i have seen two story houses go from ivy only on the ground at foundation to completely covered in three years. -
Dave, i put a Daikin 30,000 BTU pump outside, 2 9,000 BTU wall units downstairs(one front of the house and one rear) and a 12,000 BTU wall unit upstairs to replace the window unit ac units that were 15k downstairs and 10k upstairs. first month saw power consumption cut in half, and it has staid that way for the past 5 years.. because of allergies, i pretty much need to run the ac year round. this was the best investment i ever made. and recommend installing ductless to everyone that asks. i use the heat sparingly because i have baseboard hot water heat. i oversized the unit just like i did with the boiler, it makes it much more efficient.
-
^^^this.^^^ most do not work properly because they are not big enough for the intended space.

i put in ductless ac/heat 4 years ago. cut electric bill in half from 98 per month to 52 per month. but i do not use the heat pump that much since i have gas baseboard heat. the only downside to the ductless id initial cost. my 30,000 BTU system was $6000 so ti will have paid for itself in electric savings in another 5 years. heat is a warm air instead of hot air. fan blows all the time, but you do not notice it. on heat it will raise temp of a 20X20 room from 65 degrees to 75 degrees in about 10 minutes.

tarped, in the road, and nothing on the ground behind the truck. the box was down on the frame when it broke. my bet is he was driving and hit a bump and it broke from way too many overloaded runs.
-
no, unfortunately i have not. i don't see why it would not work though.
-
i will second the pertronix, i have used them for points conversions for close to 40 years. some units are still performing perfectly in 534 ford engines with over 1 million miles run time.

wow........sweet looking rig.. i wonder what the specs are? -
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.

Easy day at the country club.

A-N-D Service New Jersey
tjc transport replied to j hancock's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
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!!

1986 Mack RD686SX Dump Truck
tjc transport replied to j hancock's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
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.
