  1. Most Universities, Colleges, MTV and other "young" media outlets are pushing for them to vote so they will get the promised "free" college and no debt. Other media hype if for non college bound to vote Hillary for a $15 plus minimum wage. That will bring enough out.
  2. Here is the so called VIN EN330C456B and Crashtoys auction info Second photo is from it's display at the Hayes Museum. Third is the pump. click me
  3. That truck was I believe originally from Bill Harrahs collection in Nevada. If it was Harrahs it was a U.S. Forestry Service unit. When the Harrahs collection was broken up in 1983 a lot of his trucks were donated to the Hayes Truck Museum. We went to the auction, it was over 400 vehicles including a steam train, railcars and miles of track, Ford Tin Lizzie (model T powered) and Tri Motor Airplanes and most every Franklin model made. Harrah had a love affair with Franklin Air Cooled and Ed Roth custom cars.
  4. Hillary’s gun confiscation proposal is going to backfire in a big way Hillary Clinton’s suggestion that the United States should look at a “buyback program” similar to Australia’s draconian laws which they instituted in 1996 following a mass shooting in Tasmania. As AP noted, this wasn’t a gun buy back program such as many states and municipalities have offered. It was mandatory confiscation with a modest cash reimbursement to soften the blow. Before moving on to the latest news on this story, it’s worth noting (particularly for Hillary Clinton’s campaign office) that the immediate results of the Australian gun grab Gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results: Australia-wide, homicides went up 3.2 percentAustralia-wide, assaults went up 8.6 percentAustralia-wide, armed robberies went up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns. Australian and U.K. “buybacks” were merely an attempt to mollify firearm owners whose property had been declared contraband and subject to seizure. They were, to paraphrase Vito Corleone, an offer gun owners could not refuse. The owners had the “choice” to accept the money and turn the guns they had previously been forced to register or they could risk the government forcibly confiscating the guns and being sent to prison for possessing them, supposing, of course, that they survived the confiscation attempt itself. AP already noted, this is a winning strategy for Clinton in the primary because her voter base has been sold on the idea of things like expanded background checks at the federal level, a national gun registry and confiscation. Regarding a total ban on all semi-automatic weapons, including handguns and shotguns, as of last year there was a 83% approval for the proposed action among the Democratic and Independent voter base.
  5. I know, we went to Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen a number of years ago, following part of the 3rd Division WWII Battle Field Tour to the Colmar Pocket, Falasie Gap and the Eagles Nest in Bavaria. My great parents on my mothers side came from Danzig in 1910, My fathers side came here in 1620 from England
  6. I'll ask around for you. They were used on a ton of vehicles. Paul
  7. “Obama’s new gun control force 8 times the size of Pentagon’s ISIS team.” Washington Examiner, (1/5/16)
  8. We had a pair of R model at Horans with them, biggest thing I saw was keeping the exchange fins clean of dust and schmegma from running in Broman's sand pit. Turbos seem fine. No idea for an OTR unit
  9. Unfortunately that part was originally the gated entrance to the BUND Camp in 1935.(pre Hess) That part of the property was leased to the BUND by my Great Grand Parents (being good Polish/Germans) at the time. My grand parents during the war had Honey Suckle and Ivy all over it so it wasn't visible. After Sandy all the vines died. The County of Suffolk Heritage and Preservation Commitee and NYS got involved and land marked it after Sandy when I had my equipment to remove it.
  10. Couldn't be the Diesel that converts fuel to noise and rainbow spots....
  11. And this is why Hillary will most likely win . . . God Help Us http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/electors.html
  12. Aroud the time of Caterpillar/Perkins deal
  13. The Washington Post and the New York Times both had this article/ op ed on the situation.
  14. Did you call Barry At WATTS, they own this site and work with BMT members some. Paul
  15. Low compression too! WoW.
  16. International comes to mind for some odd reason. Interesting question. Paul
  17. The Sternberg company of Wisconsin (which became Sterling) produced cab-over trucks as early as 1907 and stopped COE about 1915. They reintroduced the cab-over layout undere the Sterling Name in 1933 with their "Camel Back" model G, which allowed the cab to be tilted to access the engine. It was a partial tilt cab with the windshield, dash and front cowl remaining stationary while the rest of the cab tilted back. Sterling did a full tilt cab in 1935.
  18. They can be brought in under HIS orders (up to 100,000) if they are classified as refuges by the Syrian Government or the UN. Both his buddies. Also when the Republicans (who lied to us) passed his budget. It include funding for Obamacare and the Syrian Refuges. Both of which they said they would not approve funding for. They also included funding for the expanded NSA monitoring, funding for the at the time the unknown executive gun regulations and approval of Obama's Trans Pacific Trade Pact, which aside from subsidizing imported products from that area also eliminated the regulations that mandated the County of Origin and County of Manufacture be on the goods. So you can no longer attempt to Buy American. As for the weapons executive order, it stays in "temporary effect" until Congress passes a permanent law to replace it... so it is forever. He has created an Imperial Presidency, with his constant transferring power to the Executive Branch for the Legislative and Judicial Branches for "Streamlining government." Look at the powers the Executive Branch now has, there are no longer the checks and balances as before only the dominant Executive and sub servant Legislative and Judicial branches.
  19. That is an awful lot of fuel used idling, that much fuel being used would cause stalling and massive flat spot if you tried to accelerate. My old drag cars never burned that much at idle.
  20. Here's a timeline that proves just how complicated this case is — as well as the power that the media still retains to elevate a local political issue into a national one. 1989: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lists the desert tortoise as an endangered species. A year later, its designation was changed to "threatened." March 1993: The Washington Post publishes a story about the federal government's efforts to protect the desert tortoise in Nevada. Near Las Vegas, the Bureau of Land Management designated hundreds of thousands of acres of federal land for strict conservation efforts. "Among the conservation measures required," according to the Post's coverage, "are the elimination of livestock grazing and off-road vehicle use in the protected tortoise habitat. Many people were not impressed by the new conservation plan. "Cliven Bundy, whose family homesteaded his ranch in 1877 and who accuses the government of a 'land grab,' are digging in for a fight and say they will not willingly sell their grazing privileges to create another preserve." People who use the desert to prospect for minerals and to race motorcycles and jeeps also feel shortchanged. "'It was shoved down our throat,' said Mark Trinko, who represents off-road vehicle users on the committee that oversees the plan." April 1995: The fight between the Bureau of Land Management and the ranchers who want to use the federal land without fees or oversight is growing more tense, according to a story published in USA Today.Ultimately the issue will be settled by the courts, but ranchers who say they can't afford to raise livestock without access to public land, are taking matters into their own hands -- setting up what some officials say is an inevitable and dangerous confrontation.Jim Nelson, who oversees 7 million acres in Nevada, says his agency is just doing its job, which is to ensure that land remains healthy and viable for ranchers and any others who wish to use it.That goal, he says, is hindered by unattended, free-ranging cows that degrade the state's precious springs and stream banks. The reason that things were ramping up? Counties were starting to challenge federal ownership of land. In 1991, Catron County in New Mexico passed an ordinance that claimed state ownership and local management of public land in the state. Thirty five counties followed suit. Nye County, Nevada, became the first to act on its legislated threat. The county commissioner bulldozed his way down a closed national forest road. Forest rangers soon followed, who the county commissioner threatened to arrest if they interfered. One Elko County rancher, Cliff Gardner, has decided to take his case to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing that states' rights mean the federal government has no authority over the land where his cattle graze. 1998: A federal judge issues a permanent injunction against Bundy, ordering him to remove his cattle from the federal lands. He lost an appeal to the San Francisco 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. He represented himself. March 2002: Cliff Gardner is sentenced to a month in a Reno halfway house, along with a $5,000 fine and a year of probation. He has been under house arrest for the three previous months for not taking his cattle off of federal land. July 2009:Rob Mrowka, a Conservation Lawyer who works for the Center for Biological Diversity, in Las Vegas started a civil suit against Bundy and other ranchers. Mrowka stated “Anyone can go out there anytime of the year and see cattle. BLM employees trying to protect sensitive plants and animals are very frustrated. It's a problem that's been going on and on.” Wild Horse advocated got angrier saying that the roaming cattle are ruining their habitats. Other scientists argue that the wild horses and cows alike are ruining habitats for other animals. April 2012: The BLM plans to round up Bundy's cattle. After several threats, the plans are abandoned. The Center for Biological Diversity files an intent to sue against the BLM for canceling their plans. March 27, 2014: The BLM has closed off 322,000 acres of public land, and is preparing to collect Bundy's cattle. Bundy files a notice with the county sheriff department, titled “Range War Emergency Notice and Demand for Protection." Deputy Sheriff Gardner. “I think Cliven is taking a stand not only for family ranchers, but also for every freedom-loving American, for everyone," Gardner said. "I’ve been trying to resolve the issues since 1984. Perhaps it’s difficult for the average American to understand, but protecting the individual was a underlying factor of our government. Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins also supports Bundy. “The U.S. government has perpetrated a bigger fraud on people over those tortoises than Al Capone did selling swampland in Miami." April 5, 2014: After decades of trepidation, federal officials and cowboys start rounding up what they think are Cliven Bundy's hundreds of cows. The operation was going to cost $1 million, and reportedly last until May April 24, 2014 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid toldl local media outlets, "It's not over. We can't have American people violate the law and then just walk away from us. So it's not over ...far from it."
