    thought I may have found You a better candidate superliner '86 with 400 Cummins ,owner has two ; other is the one with E9 400. talked with him yesterday . unfortunately he is keeping them both. cummins powered is a shorter wheelbase started out as a glider. camel back rears. the attempt was there.

    did a quick skim of the video ;looks like I missed another great show. will watch complete video after. I almost think the FK with colonial lettering is same one I looked at yrs ago sitting in Rhode island quarry. ?

    you must have a strong retirement union !! a break is usually defined as 10-15 minutes , 1 hr is called office workers LUNCH time < "turn into an hour OR SO !!" sit around gain a pound. I'm 14 lbs over month ago. NOT GOOD. having a gym is helpful. I lost my gym routine at the farm == not allowed to throw hay bales anymore. they are over 40lbs.

    I don't think anyone is going to "slap your hand " for being in wrong category !LOL most important idea is to keep progress on the BMT site.

    a little bit of work ,BUT the possibility's are endless. without imagination ,willingness to try ; there would be no airplanes (orvill &wilber); phones (mr bell) == you got the idea. GO for it. just keep BMT updated -for positives and set backs.

    much as I can't stand these cellphones , would have been good thing to have (or at least a camera) back then to photo the brand new DM 611 SX after the 100ton concrete I beam swung tooo much when being loaded and went through back of cab . what a mess it was.

    they are more interested in obtaining info on spy satellites and new phones betcha.

    would be interesting to see some pictures of the Blakeslee DM's ; twinscrew/ single axles from the mid 70's. believe they actually went through New Haven Truck Rental . not owned by Blakeslee ,
  10. mechohaulic
    had to stop at page 10. actually logged off before ; went online to find some Blakeslee DM's = sent me back to B M T , page 10 of 103:: that's a rainy day reading . the sun is shining in CT at the moment, outside I must go LOL
  11. mechohaulic
    went back a few years and lot of pages to find these pictures

    I'm likin the red R-model - western. a Rubber Duck truck for me would be a Mack R-700 western. either RL700L or RS700L . personal preference only. a Superliner excellent choice also. with a superliner might eliminate the legal stuff from someone saying you copied a R model without permission ???
  13. mechohaulic
    possibly. but I'm sure Joey will get royalty compensation !! 🙃 NOPE

    best part of retirement goes with what you stated : glad I don't HAVE to work anymore". going to work (on farm) based on I choose to makes the projects more fun. I take lot of sit down breaks now only due to have no choice when knees let me know it's break time. so a project which should be an hr may take two or more. what can happen ; I'm fired !!LOL

    notice lower right corner :: winter 1974,, at this rate . You can have a volume #2 . keep up the pictures /memories. Thanks
  16. mechohaulic
    another memory maker, along with L G Deflice , I figured Ryan / L G same company different names for insurance etc. L G Deflice yellow/ green units, they had a driver "Barney" .one of the best. could back up the lowbed/ with jeep better then some could drive truck/trailer forwards. Sadly he was on highway (95) came to a toll booth (yes while back) , toll taker refused to let him go saying he was too high = had large off highway Euclid on lowbed. he wasn't too high. climbing up to measure; slipped fell from top hit concrete and died.
  17. mechohaulic

  18. mechohaulic
    I see the "just a kid" part in your earlier post ;;;56!!! ; enjoy it now !!"it's gonna be awhile " your body will let you know how old it is. my daughter is 52 ! am I really that old ,LOL being busy while retired is a good thing. sit around put on the pound .
  19. mechohaulic

    the bike is nice but the C-10 is nicer and possibly safer.
  22. mechohaulic
    sorry I don't . besides BMT ; my computer time is on auctionzip. put in mack for topic, it will show many auctions not truck related due to picking mack from words = Mackinzee and so on . there is an R model having grain body on it . the cruise liner was a twin-screw . located USA mid west if memory correct. I didn't see it till this am

    guess I'm still in the dumb shit category ; my right hand looks like your forehead; why you ask !! for future advice ++DON'T hold a grass trimmer ( running ) in left hand while attempting to pull stubborn vines wound in a tree with right hand. I was fearful of removing the glove. that's yesterday ; swelling down quite a bit today. that string (95) does a number,
  24. mechohaulic
    do the midliners have the MACK logo on front?? there are two small cabovers in the high grass end of the road I'm living. apparently they belong to a garden nursery located same property. one does have the mack lettering. does the MD-200 have front logo ?
  25. mechohaulic
