sad part is no one questions the statement "a deal has been reached " ; the deal is billions of dollars pocketed by those making deals. typical Monty Hall "let's make a deal " otherwise known as What's in it for Me!!

take three 5/8th flat washers , braze them together to form a V pattern ; results are one hold down set up will secure two liners. less stuff fumbling around on top of block. DD need the hold-downs ; wet liners.

now if you had a Mack model to build; the "brain wash " TV wouldn't be an option from boredom.

memory correct , the aliment tool for oil squirters is a welding rod (no flux) and square piece of clear plexiglass having circular groove cut in to it size of piston liner; within the grooved circle are two smaller circles. when plexiglass is placed on liner the welding rod should be centered to one of the smaller circles. reason for two smaller circles the squirters are front of piston on some cylinders. back on others. lowering pistons with squirters installed a real P I T A. corner cutting :::: when pistons in ; install the oilers then put welding rod in check aim. not rocket science as they say.

might find it easier to take right size pipe ; cut in half or what ever depending on desired look then weld into channel ; weld/ grind to appear as one piece. have time and patience; weld the pipe to back side of channel THEN slice top channel , bend around the pipe. will have one bent form on front with welding/ grinding on top/ bottom flange. looks excellent as is also.

alignment tool ??? when in doubt , take a welding rod with flux removed and place in the end of squirter to get a visual idea of squirt location. should be under piston , lubing wrist pin on down stroke.

liquid glue much better ; less mess . black interior !!!! LOL no no:: green or brown depending on year you want it to be representing. Old style dash ---- green ,LOL

is that the teddy Tietz from woodbury area ?? didn't know he ran tractors of that vintage, nice truck.

had to be early '70's ; rules/regs changed for more state income. short wheel based 10 wheelers were getting third axles with baby wheels shoved between front tandem and battery box/ fuel tanks, side by side battery boxes were jammed one on top of each other to make room.

couple good pictures of the truck on Auctionzip . narrow the search with selection of : new england states.

other states (most) are much larger the CT carry more -go further. ct you can't turn a pick up truck around ; I know yes you can. here it's all about more revenue for state.

Thanks for the picture. wasn't sure about the title , quad. this is the set up I mentioned bit back. think O&G has some also. 5 axle

drawing a blank on brown being new England fleet. by '80's Mack was loosing ground for majority fleet truck. the KW cabover appeared more. Baskin had 5 KW's .

the "sister" company was Darcey; old age kicked in again around 2 am this morning wake up thinking : it is Darcy . there were whites in the fleet also. possibly the owner had two daughters/wife -daughter named Vallerie and Darcey.

started out looking at 1/25 resin trucks; ended up on site of trucks of old. found many east coast fleets not only forgot about. but recalled working on some. question now is there was a freight outfit Vallerie having Mack/ Reo's. they were a light brown/beige color. there was also a sister company having same color == what was the name ?
