  1. picture you posted =K506B shows a straight pin . original picture posted of pin removed is the tapered pin ; big bottom /smaller top . picture #3 of needed kit would/should be correct . 11/16th difference in pin length possibly another sign of product cut back. look at the diagram picture posted you notice top of pin does nothing once past the roller bearing.
  2. and I'm not nosy ==at 72 almost 73 I can get away with being senile / demented LOL
  3. WOULD YOU PLEASE BE MORE SPECIFIC NEXT TIME !!! LMAO 😁 those are "yuppie things" . us ole folk consider toys as B-models/ tonka/ redline hot wheels ::: the fun stuff. 50/60 two-wheel walk -behind farm tractors - my idea of toys. we all expect progress on DM next week NO excuses either LOL🤣
  4. I'm sure I speak for many here on BMT;; enjoy watching EVERY bit of this move . and also my "hats off" to YOU as one heck of a professional driver. we all know the move was much easier due to fact it was done by a MACK LOL
  5. don't leave us hanging ;;; what kind of toys fill the garage ???LOL tonka/ mack trucks??
  6. to have a B model or any model with opening hoods/ doors etc brings the model to a scale 5 . 1- it requires manufacture to create new molds, details forms. 2- brings the price way off scale. 3-let us all hope the B-model project takes hold . 4-many $$$$ are required for a manufacture to acquire legal rights from all parties. 5- to be top notch builder opening hoods /doors separate novice from ;;; well you know. at 72 , I've built models since they first came out (late 60's- 70's .
  7. it maybe just my thoughts; BUT I don't know how a basic question could be straight forward answered. there are way tooo many variables, the liquid being hauled ?? liquids have different weight factors == water vs fuel oil vs liquid waste and so on. CA to trunnion would indicate you are talking a twin-screw not single axle for starters. type of tank == 14 ft straight ends on tank or plumbing /hose reels etc would make a difference for weight distribution . based on your question AND NOT trying to sound as an idiot . a wheel base long enough to fit the tank . then secondly there is the area of where is this unit going to run === meet state axle weight / or a farm off road use and much more.
  8. what truck show early May are you hoping for if I may ask ?? did notice the very close clearance on roof VS garage door. excellent progress. THANK YOU for update and especially pictures .
  9. bet they double as a good hide away from the other half and the honey do list ,,LOL
  10. I know we had a full moon last couple days !!!;;; but wow there are some sick puppies around here . all I had to do was turn computer screen up side down or was it down side up ??
  11. no words on those ;; beyond words! looked to be such a lot of space battery to drives ; but those filled it in perfectly .not to little or too much . one question :(not another one LOL). the axle nuts ??chrome caps would be tooo much , paint ??
  12. original post from Barry is ,He's trying for a complete B-model kit, not just a cab conversion which is great. I have noticed the DM-600 model kits are becoming difficult to find as are the early R-models. the spin off R kits have much to be desired.
  13. parents # was TU (xeto) 6202. only 2 or 3 party line. now put this picture in your head=== the young kids of today with rotary house phones and ALL the phone cables dangling behind their cars. or better yet them having to sit at home and use a house phone. LOL
  14. flip phone back !!; heck I want a real phone like my parents had ;; black with rotary dial , sat on a phone table with a phone book. didn't know there were so many "Drs"in this state ;; everyone carries a phone . must be on 24 hr call. I spent 20 yrs on 24 hr call - did it without a cell phone. I did get modern after a while I had a beeper. then found a phone booth to return call.
  15. say what ??? 😁
  16. copy/paste/scan !!!!; heck I can't figure this 15 phone I have which I didn't want at all .. had a I-6 (i think) worked good enough for me. this 15 phone I have to make sure not in skives while attempting a "send picture in text. ". find myself on camera mode not picture file. won't even discuss this auto spell business.
  17. blue and white with the bud radiator winter front LOL . great not important in todays world ;; more important is when it retains the term RELIABLE.
  18. if my bad eye sight is correct; the dumper "opera" aka the black bitch is a short wheel-based R-700. sure would be great to see more pictures and specs on the "black bitch " always for me mind -boggling the major differences in equipment from U SA and the wonderful "land down under."
  19. or even funnier if the D O G hood ornament was wearing goggles going down the road.
  20. It's NOT insults; rather basic conversation to be taken as is by the receiver. if that's all my wife called me on a daily basis =it be a dam good day. consider I'm Polish Catholic ;; she's Jewish ;; you take it from there.
  21. sure build us up to let us down !! what the heck LOL
  22. well if "one drive only works if you have it !!" what exactly can oldies do if there is NO drive, LOL yea me .
  23. a number of fleets back in 70's-?? ran the V-903. Guyott oil in CT had the long nose Brockway with 903's. one of my first trucking experiences as rider was in a Guyott oil Brockway which a neighbor drove. a Brockway having the old style cab NOT the converted Mack cab Brockway.
  24. from reading the forums here ' that sentence seems to be the way of the dealer mechanics today at $150-200 per hr. they know little but guess and just change parts till problem fixed or at least a little better.
  25. beyond sharp looking piece of history. best of positive to it restoration.
