interesting article. i will have to find the english version, as i can not find the translate button. i also fixed the typo in the title. on a side note, i never knew "Marmon Herrington" all wheel drive conversions was part of the Marmon truck company.

how do I set the clock on my Mack radio?
tjc transport replied to dpete's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
my new truck is not quite that bad. so far it has only gone 1 minute off in 4 weeks. (yesterday) the 2020 T880 would go 1 minute off every 5-6 days. -
Vlad, I would wait a few months to see if the political dynamics here change as a lot of people hope they will. If that does indeed happen, my bet is relations between Russia and the States will get a whole lot better.

tjc transport replied to dpete's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
The easiest way is to take a three year old for a ride. They will have the clock and favorite radio stations set properly in less than 30 seconds. 😁 -
350 Cummins in a B 42? Is it a possibility?
tjc transport replied to Craig N's topic in Engine and Transmission
that is a big engine. a better fit would be a 6BT. they can easily make 350 hp with very little money. -
same here. i bought my place 27 years ago for 60grand. the house across the street sold three years ago for 404 grand, and three weeks ago for 570 grand. i was already offered 300 for my one bedroom place with 24X26 garage.
-
actually, not really. falcons do not bring the big bucks. a 289 4 speed 65 sprint in showroom condition will be lucky to see 10 grand, where a "15 foot" 6 cylinder automatic mustang will easily bring 15 grand.
-
nope. last year for the sprint was 65. and there were not many made in 65. but i hear you on the lot of money. in 77 i was offered 17 acres with a 2500 square foot house and 100X50 two story barn for $17,000. those 17 acres sold 3 years ago for 4.5million.

65-66galaxy for me. And with the falcon, it is 64-65.

Me thinks it is all because of the demonrats "Ukraine good Russia bad " BS. If Ukraine was not as corrupt as their demonrat backers, i don't think Russia would never have acted

a spammer is all one color, usually a grayish tint. and can usually also be found near a square tin can with rounded edges.

cab overs were very scary when bobtailing. especially short frame single axles. a good brake jab on dry roads and you could feel the rear come up and the cab start tipping over. the twin screw long frame freightliner i had was not nearly as bad.
-
Corbitts. thats it!!! i had a brain fart and could not place the brand. at first i thought Federal too, but Federals never had the vertical bar grills. OD, if the AT wrecker is indeed a Brown, it is a rebadged Corbitt from the early years.
-
two trucks i can not identify. the Thurston tractor, and the Associated Transport wrecker.

why no pictures of the "helpers" JoJo?

What is this trailer?
tjc transport replied to KRWFL's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
It very well could be a "home made" trailer out of an old truck frame. But with those solid tires, you need heavy springs to compensate for no tire sidewall flex. -
Kinda sorta Bob. Two 12 volt batteries will supply power longer than four 6 volts. But the four 6 volts will supply a lot more amps.
-
yea, i have recommended many a person to run away from auctions. most listen, the ones that do not pay the price. unless of course you know the seller. i made quite a few good purchases over the years at auctions, usually paying less than the before auction asking price.
-
auction specials. fresh paint and let it fly.

but no one can laugh at or add to your comments in chat.

Excessive off road wheel hop
tjc transport replied to DoubleFrame's topic in Driveline and Suspension
all our trucks run 120-125 psi. the higher the pressure the lower the tire temps when loaded. -
Excessive off road wheel hop
tjc transport replied to DoubleFrame's topic in Driveline and Suspension
i tried telling the steering wheel holders if they slowed down in the quarries, they would not run the water wagons out spraying the roads with dirty mud water to keep dust down and making the trucks all mud brown. "if you see a dust cloud, you are going too fast" their response is, cant make no money driving slow. i get paid the same driving 60mph, or 6 mpg.
