    years back Dean Foods came east and did a 10 yr lease on Baskin Robbins. rumor had it that was their way of getting quick ICC rights in new england so they could sell their own products,

    If only more Veterans wore a hat letting us know of their service; so as for us to recognize and honor them. I'm also aware of the service men/ women not wanting to be recognized or have memories come back. I stopped a veteran in parking lot recently ; saluted Him ; thanked Him for his Service; being close to my parked jeep , walked him over to see the rear window having two large murals= one showing the raising of the Flag with words ::NEVER FORGET OUR VETERANS FOR WHAT THEY GAVE FOR OUR COUNTRY! other says : SOME GAVE ALL , SOME STILL GIVE :POW/MIA . He thanked me as a tear ran down his face.

    the "check valve" is nothing more then a fiber(plastic) T shaped with small spring. some one must have a cap and washer to replace hand primer . and a BIRTHDAY best to you today🍻, the "check valve" stay with the transfer pump you should have the hand primer top of transfer pump and next to it a metal cap (3/4 wrench ?}locate a similar cap = put in place of hand primer.
  13. mechohaulic
    have you considered just removing the hand pump ; replace with the cap . new brass washer and proper cap will also eliminate the question of loosing prime. hand pump not a needed option. fortunately I don't get involved with purchases much any more, prices I hear for things unbelievable. 580 for switch rebuild???

    the one morning I don't go from cheshire to Southington ; you have the 73 at sign pro!! would have been good to see the 73 out and about.
  15. mechohaulic
    my guess it would depend on how close your neighbors / other homes are. a 20 ga with bird shot !! 20 ga will do in the rodents . the bird/ animal lovers may not take kindly to seeing a wounded animal run or be shot.

    O&G // HI HO both big players back in the day. around same time both construction companies bought a FLEET of tri axles. O&G were gold/cabs alum bodies. Hi Ho green cabs alum bodies, not positive on numbers for each fleet. guess maybe 15== 20 per. it was an unheard of things back then. companies may buy 2 or 3 ;;; not 10 or more., when the calendar for that year came out Hi Ho made the cut ;;;!! not O&G ;; which for years was a mainly Mack fleet. due to a calendar (and other hostile things) O&G "said "take your Macks and shove them!! back in mid 70's I delivered O&G triaxles 356===376 , that was first batch before the calendar issue.

    no doubt the fresh eggs are better. taking over my Grandparents farm ; along with the cattle/ pigs , chickens were there. ,had to weigh in the options of fresh eggs VS the cost of their food, the rodents that they bring, no eggs in cold weather , when eggs do arrive - too many to eat ; gave away many and the cleaning of coup; chickens are messy . cows/ pigs had many more advantages.
  18. mechohaulic
    it was more for bragging rights then cost. Hi/Ho had to have a fleet of tri axles better then O&G , since their fleet made the Mack calendar and O& G fleet didn't ; the cost was trivial for them. New England Mack country was different back then.

    does it have one tank or two ? did you check the 1/4 copper vent line ??? insects like the line to build nest . extremum caution when airing up a tank, , pistons don't like either.

    one set of batteries hooked up improper?? disconnect one set at a time AT THE BATTERIES . see if a difference. one set incorrect will narrow down the search .
  21. mechohaulic
    have to ask !!! what's the reason or purpose of the truck ?? show/exhibition / size of exhaust ?? just wondering. that's a truck being brand new during my time . any pictures or better a video.

    the part "it takes a couple loaded clutch activations " is the red light for me. a detent ball could care less if clutch activated rapidly. a double disc with one disc hanging would take notice. a lot depends on the movement of the shift lever during these episodes. lever move slightly after slider working ? is pressure held on the lever attempting to complete a shift ?
  23. mechohaulic
    single or double disc Mack clutch ??? what does the lever do when it hangs up??? : stick not fully move to proper position ?? lever worn jamming between two sliders ? shaft bushing worn it should happen more frequently
  24. mechohaulic
    got my vote on that
  25. mechohaulic
    that diagram should do you just fine since only change you are making is the 2 -12's VS 4-6's. difference in dia with 4 -6's would have two 6 volt batteries tied in series on each side. 6's in series = a strong 12 also give a longer lasting cranking power.
