    As you have said RoadwayR I do still hear they are going to bring a gasoline and air brake option. Especially now that they see all the school buses and ambulances that have switched back to gas engine now. And also, GMC and International and Workhorse used to have a pretty good share for RV and motorhome chassis. They'd be stupid to ignore that segment now that they have the CV/Silverado's. They are a perfect fit for that, have the biggest dealer network, and many buyers of RV's are familiar and comfortable with GMC/Chev products.

    That's gotta be something to see....those jets landing on an aircraft carrier. Just mind blowing what they can do. Hard to imagine it's even possible.

    And hopefully killed some of the mosquito and sand fly population, LOL

    Well not quite 35 yards Redhorse. The tailgate is slanted and the hoist tunnel, so not a perfect square box. But I bill it out at 35 yards when I bid for the city.

    80,000 pounds gross. Truck is 30865 pounds empty and clean. So I can load 49,000 pounds.

    They gotta burn the budget to get their money for next year. That's how they do it up here. Don't maintain the roads and highways all winter, then when winter is over they have to waste everything away to get their budget back. Ever see a white gravel road? That's how it is here. Put 4 inches of salt on bare asphalt. But don't plow sand or salt when it is winter. I had a fight with my township this winter. Even got my government involved. Found out my township gets $500,000 a winter for road maintenance and they have never spent over $50,000.

    Just about 35 cubic yard with the sideboards. 5 foot sides, 21 feet long.

    I can't find the video now, but I watch Zach Johnson's (The Milennial Farmer) vidoes on You Tube and he was just showing those Yankum tow straps. They seem to work a lot better than chains and regular straps.

    Most legendary engine ever! I just laugh when you read the specs on paper.....500 h.p. and 1660 ft-lb of torque. Well I can tell you, my new 505/1850 motor won't go up our 12% grades at 140,000 pounds in high range on the 18 speed like the old 500 V8 did, LOL

    What is poor Troy Clarke going to do now with 35% off his $1,027,183 base salary? LOL

    I would LOVE to have that!!!

    I'd like to see those if you ever catch them. Mines in quarantine, LOL Snow plow just went by again. This sucks. Finally got time off work and I can't even do any yard work.

    I don't have to worry about lawn mowing season yet Rob, LOL This is I woke up too. This sucks. Everything shut down for corona and I can't even get anything done in the yard. You can see in the second pic there is actually a snow bank at the end of my driveway from the snow plow.

    I just looked, because the winds here are the strongest we've had all winter and they are calling for big snow, but the Indiana Harbor is the only freighter on the lakes right now. And it's right out in the middle of Superior. I can't even imagine the waves that is taking right now.

    Ship

    Bullheaded replied to Bullheaded's topic in Odds and Ends

    Ok, makes sense. I know on this channel they have a speed limit for ships and you could always tell when they were above it. Then add two ships passing each other and it really made some effects.

    Bullheaded replied to Bullheaded's topic in Odds and Ends

    Funny you mention that. I'm on the lake, but my aunt and uncle lived on the narrow part of the shipping channel before they get to the Sault Locks. And I used to see that. It was really freaky. Two ships would pass and the water would disappear from the shore. I still don't understand the science before it. I can see how they would increase the water level, but not how they pull the water out.

    Yep, I can't understand drivers we have had. Wash the truck and make it all shiny and then you go inside the cab and it's an all out pig pen with holes drilled all over in everything.

    Can't wait to see when you get it done and working.

    NO BETTER VIEW THAN OUT OVER THE HOOD OF THAT R!!! Man, that brings back some good memories. I got so many miles in an R. I sure miss that.

    When I was a kid I had an Ertl metal IH Loadstar flat bed truck with John Deere decals on it. Like a dealer delivery truck. So yesterday I thought about it and went online to see if I could find one. Holy! Any you can find are 300 to 400 plus dollars! Wish I still had all my old toys, LOL I do still have a metal Ertl International Transtar cab over with a Husky Oil tanker trailer that actual holds and pumps fluid. It is good for dispensing "ethanol" whiskey. LOL

    I know they made some big 4WD sugar cane tractors and at the time they were having a lot of issues with their own engines and almost all of them were repowered with Detroit's. There are a lot of really cool old Allis Chalmers dealer videos on You Tube. For both their farm tractors and the motor graders. Allis Chalmers was another company like White Motor Corp. It is amazing how big and much stuff they were into. Everything from crushers to power generation. There is still Allis Chalmers crushers working in the slag processing area of our steel mill.

    Yep, change it. I had the purge valve fail on my brand new 2020. Then not long after the un-loader valve had to be replaced. They sure don't make parts like they used to.

    All three deserve a restoration.

    Cool truck! Looks like a design copy of Simard's Dramis truck. Wonder if there was some kind of licensing agreement? Because they are both pretty much the same and Simard was first to market with those electronically-controlled hydro-pneumatic suspension. And they started making them with Mack Granite's. But now they can be had in any make. We have them in use in some of the mines around here.
