  1. Off u tube from a few yeas ago.
  2. Slide a piece of PVC or tube over the broken end so it won't hang up on anythingand got to the other side and give it a good whack. Than use the magnet for the pieces of metal
  3. Thanks I'll get some contacts from the web tomorrow! I must say I never thought of using google maps! Paul
  4. The EPA issued a certificate of conformity that verified the heavy-duty diesel engine meets EPA’s standards?
  5. Fire truck wise it's a shell with some parts left. Most of the brass fittings, controls and valves are gone. Cab looks stripped of heater, defroster parts and other accessories. Who knows what gone from under the hood, would bet the prime scrap metal is gone. $ 3 grand for the nose if he adds in the rest the truck for gratis.
  6. Basically a co Sisu / Renault design. In 1997 Sisu Auto signed an agreement of extensive co-operation with Renault. Sisu started using most Renault components and represented Renault in Finland. One of the most noticeable on the new Sisu trucks was the Renault cabs in 1998.
  7. Funny, but the people who are anti military, anti police are the first to hide behind them when things go bad. I was in combat in Vietnam (wasn't about oil either) got spit on by the liberal peaceniks at home. A country or person has to stand up for them selves and not get pushed around. Granted the are time for understanding, but when the people you are making a deal with are still in the back ground yelling "death to america" maybe a deal isn't such a good idea. My neighbor is a 60+ year old liberal peacenick from that Vietnam times. Still anti war, anti military anti police and anti gun. Lives off the Welfare, food stamps and SSI. Drives a new car,( goes to Bahamas and Aruba for vacations) . When Sandy hit Long Island his first plea to me was can we got to help feed and protect him and his family if there are looters or the stores don't open. I asked if his tie dyed clothes, love beads, rainbows and unicorns would protect him or how about Obama? As A Christian I felt the need to help him. I gave him a box of condoms and explained that was all the protection he deserved.

    Help Please

  9. Yes it is very upsetting to me.
  10. People may not like the man but I found him gracious. I was there for 3 days in March. He opened the place to me, gave me a man to help me take measurements and photos of the Christe AC. Second day he had the area set up so I could do 1 to 1 scans of certain parts. Day 3 was a tour and B.S. session on AC's and Christe. I could not have gotten better treatment. People consider him arrogant, well maybe he is, maybe he isn't. Maybe it is how you act towards him, don't know. He treated me as an equal. He has saved a lot of trucks and equipment and IMO for that he deserves kudos.
  11. Could start in Texas . The New York Times article, some truth some speculation and a bit of paranoia added to the pot.. Since the exercise is to train troops to fight in an urban /suburban arena. Patterned after the WWII German war on resistance groups. I personally would not be surprised since the prez stomps on the U.S. Constitution daily. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/16/us/in-texas-a-military-exercise-is-met-by-some-with-suspicion.html?_r=0
  12. A very good friend and fellow Vietnam Vet from the same unit as me died in a fire with his wife. I would like to get some info on . Paul
  13. not soon enough! Now which politician is going to call for more gun control?
  14. The war will come sooner than later with Irans new found power, China, Central America and the U.S. military give aways. Sadly or maybe a blessing in the end, there will be attacks and battles fought on U.S. mainland. From the open borders, the 20 million plus illegals and the Middle Easterners and Asia. Remember that Obozo said he wanted to create? A private army more powerful the our military?...MS13, Mexacali Mafia, and a dozen others that swelled the population with open borders. My comfort is that there is not one person in my household or immediate family with out formal weapons training.
  15. Slang is hard enough in any language. I talk to my cousins in Poland / Germany depending on the political times and do not know what a lot of the local words mean. You do just fine, we all under stand you. The meaning was "I will save old iron one truck at a time."
  16. The tracks and pins.
  17. Lemon law would never work for the Gov't . . . there would be nobody left...... Hey what an idea!!!! Here is something to ponder The DOD and media says the F-35 is a high speed aircraft with a top speed that is comparable to the F-15, 16 ans FA-18. Well perhaps they should learn the facts F-35 estimated speed of 1840 mph but best so far with air frame, engine, fuel usage and avionic problems allow only a 3 second bursts in the aircraft is a bit under 1000 mph The Marines managed to get better numbers BUT " the USMC test pilots mentioned this little tidbit—they have to use a modified Rutowski profile in order to get the F-35B and C up to Mach 1.6. Basically, you do one push over, unload the jet and accelerate, get up to 1.2 (in a dive), turn and repeat until you hit 1.4 Mach, turn and repeat till you hit MACH 1.6. It just barely gets there and barely has any fuel left over afterwards." F-15 1650 mph F-16 1350 mph F-18 1190 mph F-22 1355 mph and for kick the obsolete F-14 1565 mph Now all of the current fighters it could go up against have a 2 to 400 mph higher speed for a much longer period.
  18. Class company to do that! Top shelf employee to take care of his unit too. I like the idea of keeping the unit clean and neat. I tell my people you spend 8 or more hours and I'm sure your house is clean so keep the unit the same way. I've fired people who leave crap and spills in the cabs. Paul
  19. Ask Watts. Tell them you're on the BMT 1-888-304-MACK (6225)
  20. One can only hope they're listening here, I for one would like to see a retro Superliner come out. If the need to do a melted look truck, than add elements of the B Model into the design. Wouldn't look bad as a one piece on the current Granite cab IMO. I would think Volvo Corporate has less influence with MACK in OZ then here in North America ? Paul If I could photoshop I'd put the nose on a Granite cab...
  21. Looks excellent! I do miss the "shiny" pump panel though. I'm from the era of Chrome, Brass and polished aluminum.
  22. Call or e mail Arther Gould on Long Island. They are antigue rebyuilders but also purchase old stock. they do MACK and other vintage truck pumps and Carbs so they may have one or point you in the right direction. http://arthurgouldrebuilders.com/
  23. Can't make payments, to many mechanical problems with too little dealer support and what about these for "resale"? 2015 Kenworth T800 2016 Peterbilt 348.
  24. Good question! I wonder too. Most of the info I have on the B-85 show 5 speed and a few with Allison automatics but I'm sure places like the Pine Barrens of Long Island or New jersey and around Cape Cod could have gotten them. I would think you could get what ever specs your department needed. Yaphanks 1964 B pumper has a 5 and 2 in it.
