Underdog

Must be something in the name....underDOG and otherDOG. OD has and likely UD has passed (I-99/Route 36 Exit 23) within 3 miles of the PA farm....and never call or stop.

Anyway, thanks for the pics. Always good to see what others see.

Guilty as charged. I will take note next time I pass your way. I suppose you would want a new Nissan to "fall" off my truck as well [emoji11]

UD, thanks for rambling for us.

Just some things that strike my fancy, hope others find interesting too. I don't get to ramble too far anymore... Seems most of my time is northeast corridor I-95. Took a ride up I-99 and 22 last week had stops in Bedford, Ebensburg and State College. That was like a vacation trip just to get away from Baltimore and Philly for a day.

as above WOW you blokes over dont mind having a crack

BTW "having a crack" in Australia is try something different and difficult

Paul

I thought "having a crack" might be same as an "Australian kiss".

How does your bulldog like his nuts roasted?

one sharp emeryville

The Emeryville and the MH will both be at York you can check them out in person. Don't forget to talk to Emeryville Bill too. He is a character you won't forget. Proud to count him as a friend.

And a sign for another type of entrepreneur in Leesport Pennsylvania

Saw this homeless ventriloquist in the Baltimore area...

I see some interesting things while at work, usually share with the wife, but I realize some of this may be interesting to y'all as well. Open for commentary.

Zoom in on bumper sticker. Been seeing more of these... So NOT ready.

Don't know if I want to work for this company or not. I don't think I am part of their target demographic.

Somehow through six degrees of separation I think our current crop of politicians and this trucking company may be related.

which way I reckon they should run spot on both ways eg side ways and round and round if that makes any sense

I can always adjust my wheels ok so they dont wobble maybe Im just lucky

Paul

Not bragging but I've always been pretty good at this myself practiced a lot when I was younger took pride in getting the boss's wheels on straight. He always like to keep the green and white paint fresh too after any tire work.

Joe D. You might remember Kearney Trucking in Portland, PA that's where I got my start in the garage

Apply your aluminum polish with 0000 steel wool.

I've been told by a couple guys that had 350 2v they would walk a 425 cat back them. I like the 350 2v, it has a good crack to it.

A buddy of mine bought an '84 MH last year with a 350 2-valve... IMHO Mack's best ever engine. I also worked with the previous owner and this truck could run with any CAT or Cummins... We used to enjoy aggravating those LARGE cars with our little Macks.

Gregg

I keep rolling my phone around but these trucks are still upside down

I would be interested, but I don't have access to righting equipment, and it would be cost prohibitive to put this truck back on its wheels.

I painted mine with a brush and used the flavor of the day from Tractor Supply-Valspar maybe. They look ok from 10 feet and I never had any trouble with the nozzle on my brush. LOL

I just recently bought a milk crate full of brush nozzles at a flea market... They are literally a dime a dozen lol[emoji12]

Gregg

,Rustoleum with a brush smoke gray or white 2 inch brush in the sun light and a milk create.

I agree with Jake,Rustoleum is the way to go in my opinion..........................................Mark

Had a hard time with Rustoleum the nozzles are s*** and they leak all over started buying Ace Hardware brand $2 cheaper and the paint seems to be better quality too in the end

Had the day off from festivities... Visited mom & dad last week for mom's birthday and all the kids are visiting elsewhere... So I got some more work done on the F-model. Got hubs & wheels back on the new axle. Back on its feet after several months on jacks. Not much time left before York!

After the truck work was done, enjoyed corned beef and cabbage dinner, since we skippered St. Patrick's day (corned beef is WAY cheaper after March 17).

Hope you all had a happy Easter doing what you enjoy with those you love.

Gregg

Get the truck for $1800-$2000, then buy my 237/5-speed for $1800-$2000 then you would have a great $5000 truck for $4000!!! My math says that's a bargain!

Gregg

I have held this debate for many years with many drivers and maintenance personnel. Like Tombstone says, UNDERINFLATION and lack of maintenance is the major cause of tire failure, recap or not. Most of the rubber you see along the road is a good casing zippered open due to poor maintenance. The best is when a stranded driver calls in with a "double blowout" lol. My first question is "oh, really?!? How long did you run with one flat until the other one blew out?"

I like how you used the trailer to put some weight on the back

Yeah that worked out pretty good I blocked up between the trailer frame and the tractor frame so the trailer acts as a lever to support the front of the tractor almost like I knew what I was doing[emoji12]
