Bullheaded

Well, last one in 2020, loaded Star 4900 tri-axle dump was $240,000 Canadian. I'm sure they are more than that now post covid. I went to work at a mine after I quit trucking and they got me a new T880 2 years ago for a float tractor. Daycab, no sun visor, no radio, no extra gauges, plain as you could get and they paid $190,000 tax in for it. I think they got ripped off, LOL I read an article a while back from International and they were predicting the death of the owner operator with the next round of emissions laws. They were predicting a tractor will be approaching 280 to 300,000.

Here's two Ontario Canada specs. White one has a steering lift axle and black is a Simard twin steer conversion.

Happy birthday Other dog! I'll have a Crown Royal for ya.

The one that REALLY angers me is you can't even say drag race any more or everyone thinks you are in to cross dressing f@&s NHRA should have sued them all.

I can top you all, LOL Have you ever heard of a "furry"? Apparently some people put on cat ears and tails and think they are cats. Well, the Rainbow District School Board (already sounds gay) in Sudbury Ontario was recently on the news because they put LITTER BOXES in the bathrooms of their schools to accommodate the furries. Send the bomb, I'm done on this world. But interestingly, they banned a parent from coming into the school because she has a registered certified service dog. Unreal.

I saw a farm model builder on Shark Farmer show and he is 3D printing a lot of his tractors and scenery now. That would be cool if more people started doing that. They can make some pretty detailed stuff.

Yes I meant gretta. But yes you can also include Justin Castro Junior. P.S. I am a member of PETA. People Eating Tasty Animals.

Sorry, can't help you with that. But awesome pictures! Thanks for posting.

In the famous words of Buford T. Justice...."I'm gunna kick your momma in the BEEP"

And don't get me started on that little lunatic!!! Another example of why not all people should be allowed to reproduce.

It just gives quicker throttle response and gets it on the turbo faster. I ran an 88 R model with an E6 350, 15 speed and it was a tri-axle dup truck with tri-axle pony. We gross 140,000 here with that combo, max legal in Ontario. With our emissions laws and testing, they had mine shimmed so bad to pass, like I said it was gutless. Big time. But by plugging it off, and later plumbing through the air switch, it made it pull again with those weights because as soon as you got on the throttle it would get up to boost quicker. Yes it would give a puff of black smoke, but not too bad because I didn't just mash it to the floor.

I just looked at the pics. I like how it has "new tires" but it's missing a roof, firewall and floor. And all for 22 grand!! LOL

Here ya go Swishy. https://www.mecum.com/lots/GA0323-554713/1934-kenworth-125-2-ton-truck/

I see one of Tyrone Malone's race trucks there too!

It sure did! And that K100 was really nice looking too. https://www.mecum.com/lots/GA0323-554703/1973-kenworth-k125-cabover/

I love that house mover's personality and comments....especially where he says "I took an extra day just so you think you were getting a better deal on the price." LOL

That's cool Paul. You know, I once had a conversation about that with my now deceased Australian friend. I once asked him what the most popular make of trucks were back in the day over there and he said the same thing.....lots of White's and Ford's. He was an International guy himself.

White was just like Allis Chalmers and International Harvester. They each made everything from trucks, tractors, heavy equipment to home appliances, power generation, crushers, mills, you name it. EVERYTHING. IH even had it's own town here in Ontario. Their own employee housing, schools, churches, fire department. It's amazing what some bad management can do to a once giant, that would think would be unstoppable.

Just a few from today, day one of the Mecum Gone Farming Auction.

All good comments. I wish I could still live in a place like that. Just honest simple times. Not to mention the cars and trucks were a million times better than the plastic electronic crap we have now. And you are right 70mackMB.....we do need more shows like this. But instead we teach kids how to do mass shootings and shit because every show on tv seems to be a guide on how to commit homicides now. Then we wonder why all the stupidity in this world. Well, we here don't wonder, we're all hard working sane people. Can't say that for the rest of the population. Anyway, back to happy thoughts.......did you see when he goes to some of the restaurants there? Try and find a burger or a slab of steak like that now at a restaurant! LOL

No? How?

There are some cool old Mack's in tomorrow and Saturdays auction too.

I like this! I started trying to register to bid today, but then didn't complete it. I should have prepared sooner. It's a ten hour non stop drive for me and my trailer is buried in snow. But this would be a fun toy to have. https://www.mecum.com/lots/GA0323-554763/1975-international-loadstar-1600-truck/

I just told my kids again the other day. "Don't have kids, just buy toys for yourself and enjoy your life"

That's like here. They have proof China interfered with our last two elections which Trudeau won (which I highly doubt because everyone in this country except Toronto hates him) and yet they have not kicked him out or called for an election. They already sold our oil sands and a whole lot of real estate around here to China. And then he even contracted out our RCMP communications to a Chines company!!! WTF?????? This whole world is upside down.
