Any particular '64 Galaxy poster?

OK. You're the first, so I need to get shipping tubes, cheapest rates... I'm looking at some different paper - heavy, but less glossy I'll let you know. Also, here are some other things I've printed: .

Momerman: do you have paypal?

I bought a (non-working) HP 500ps printer for $75. It will color print images 42" wide and 20' long. I got it working for $35 and a lot of messing around. Here's the first large scale print on 36" wide heavy glossy paper. So what's the big deal? If anyone is interested, I'm selling them for $10, + shipping. The ink is not waterproof - any moisture will run the ink. If you want to waterproofed yours, three coats of spray Shellac (Home depot) front & back works great. I put it out in the rain without a problem. Here are some photos of the print: I'm looking at other images too. If there's something you have you'd like like printed, the quality of the original is important, but not as big a deal as it may seem. Let me know.

Hazard Fraught has improved, but they still have a lot of junk. Their 4-ton floor jack seems good - don't know if will lift 4 tons.

What attachment points are you using with blue stand? A shop I worked in had an overhead rail-mounted electric chain hoist that helped flipping and rotating and moving these beasts around.

I suspected transmission issues when the truck was jacked up for hauling it to the shop - water dripping off the output shaft. But it was, "clean and clear water so maybe it was just a little rain water sitting on top of the case. And how much water could there be?" The input shaft didn't turn... maybe it was simply jammed between two gears??? I pulled the duplex cover before its drain plug, to see how much just to see how much oil there was. Water's heavier than oil so it'll be bottom. The top picture shows water, not oil. I'm going to rebuild the transmission - hopefully nothing requires crazy torque numbers. 450ft-lb will be tough.

I'm on it. Wednesday Jan., 3rd. Now I have to buy a couple more manuals.

How about some pictures of that engine stand? Has to be a beast. Working outside during inclement weather - brake jobs during snow storms. Twice.

So Mack-to-Mack engine to transmission bolt pattern is fairly consistent? Transmission input shaft length is generally not an issue with Mack-to-Mack swaps? Just pulled the transmission drain plug - no oil, but gallons of water! Not sure what the plan was! Replaced the water with mineral spirits and with lots of scrubbing got everything moving. I guess I didn't take a before picture of the transmission (just the duplex).

Here's what I found: 283hp E6 out of a 1981 Mack RD600 2,800lbs It runs but should be rebuilt Intake valve springs broken Cylinder wear $750 $900 shipping My only concern is installing it in my B61. Mating it to the transmission and front crossmember? Fuel injection lines were removed but...

Cost of shipping heavy stuff can kill the deal. I had a B46 shipped from Maine to Florida. Cost wasn't too bad - around $1 per mile. It wasn't the only thing being hauled. The hauler liked the attention and said he could have sold it several times.

Pulled the engine yesterday. An d yes, that counter-weight is a fifth wheel plate - the round plate was for the lifting airbag. Transmission appears original - dated August 12 1953

I'm considering buying something newer. I'll look at E6/EM6.

All the stud are 9/16-18 x 6.75". A few are little rust-pitted, and a few more show minor marks from using vise-grips. I was able to easily remove the nuts on all but one of the eight studs that unscrewed from the block. I'm confident the studs will torque up.
