  1. You sure your not driving my '99 Dodge 2500? .....Hippy
  2. They're MCs, MBs are much better looking! lol .....Hippy
  3. And that is a surprise to anyone? l'm driving a Volvo (NOT BY CHOICE) with an l-Drive. Clutch has been slipping for three months but the NH Mack dealership can not duplicate the problem they say. .....Hippy
  4. l would agree with you, l thought that it might be a GMC. .....Hippy
  5. Back when we had white on dark green plates with type of vehicle on them. Scenic-Commercial-Diesel-Trailer-Motorcycle .....Hippy
  6. And l understand we both like MBs too! lol .....Hippy
  7. l've tried both Chippewas and Carolinas made in the USA logger style boots. The Redwing sales man said that they were the cowboy boot of the Northeast! Never got much more than a year out of them before l rolled them over. The ones l get now are Redwing 1412 and they last almost three years with the wide flat heel. Made in the USA for about $300.00. .....Hippy https://www.redwingshoes.com/work/mens/soft-toe/supersole-2.0-01412.html?cgid=mens-work-soft-toe
  8. That's nice! lol Any specs that you know of? Sure looks to be in good shape, any inside pictures? .....Hippy
  9. Swishy, That's the way l did my first MB and R with my son. l had the grease gun and he turned the wheel. Even thou he was only big enough to barely see out the door window. .....Hippy
  10. Tim is this the expandable trailer? lt looks like it was done where it is with the dirt pushed up by the two center wheels. And are there steerable axles with a spread like that? .....Hippy
  11. Found this on Youtube and just by chance it was from Overnite! lol .....Hippy
  12. ws721 give me a PM, l have a number for a local upholstery shop in Manchester. .....Hippy
  13. Been there done that!! U model one night then an R model the next. l'd just close my eyes and aim for what l thought was the middle of the booth's lane. LOL! .....Hippy
  14. l've been thinking it's time to downsize and was looking at the KIA Retona (KM420). Wonder if l can order it thru the local KIA dealer?! lol Not a very good video. ....Hippy
  15. At 50-75-100 ton when do we stop calling them wreckers/heavy rescue? And start calling them cranes. Might as well put a front push board on a 5 or 6 axle Liebherr. .....Hippy
  16. lt saves the mirror arms from being crushed by the vice grips. .....Hippy
  17. Jim it looks like some fine, good quality NH loam in this picture! lol .....Hippy
  18. My son's ex CF Freightliner has an air starter. .....Hippy
  19. KEEP the AIR STARTER! Their so much fun at the shows when people don't expect it. .....Hippy
  20. I work for a world wide company that has both single and tandem drive tractors. When l was told there would be a new tractor being added. They asked what l thought could be spec'd to cut operating costs. The first thing l mentioned was a lift push axle. My thoughts were 60% of the time we don't need a tandem. Your not using two sets of brakes, running four tires, turning a rearend, not paying a toll for that axle when lifted, and an improvement in fuel mileage. Being the penny pinching company they are this went on for six months asking different questions about what to order. ln the end a used Penske rental tandem rolled into the yard. Go figure! There is a local milk distributor that has a lift axel on there air ride refer trailers. The axle lifts automatically per how much weight is on the tandems. .....Hippy
  21. You think l could take that to work with me this week? And show the boss and them damn Volvos what a days work is. Without breaking down or having electrical and exhaust issues! .....Hippy
  22. The cab tips forward. The locking handle and safety latch releases are at the right rear corner of the cab. lf the truck is headed downhill, pay attention when you push the cab over. There is nothing to hold it back once it starts over center till it hits the stops. Headed uphill it may take two of ya to tip it up. .....Hippy
  23. School bus mirrors. Had one on the right side of an S model lnternational. You can see across the front and down the side with one glance. Even check if a head or fog/driving light is out. .....Hippy
  24. OMG! The horror! l need to find my safe space quickly! 🏃‍♂️ lol Mine should have the green wheel but, Overnite replaced it with a black one. l'm going to leave it as it was when it was retired from service. Please no pictures of whats left of the one in the junkyard. 😭 .....Hippy
