  1. In N.Y. if it is tagged as Antique, Historical or Farm you are required to pass a N.Y.S. safety inspection, DOT can stop you a see that you meet the N.Y. DMV requirements.... Good brakes, lines and cans, good tires (both tread and no dry rot), mud flaps, mirrors, all lights work including turn and brake lites, wipers, glass (no chips a quarter will not cover and no cracks more than 11 inches into the wiper arc) and no worn, broken or missing steering or suspension parts. Also in N.Y. milage is limited and or set by the insurance carrier, I went from N.Y. to Cali for a show by sending a copy of my confirmed entry reservation to Haggerty. Paul
  2. There was something about them on the ATHS forum awhile back. I believe he died and his children gave it up. I looked for them for my AC data plates and it seems the repo's are long gone. Paul
  3. A diesels RPMs controlled by the amount of fuel being allowed into it. A worn engine, oil will blow past the piston rings and into the crankcase. The oil from the crankcase gets into the air intake from the breather. A diesel engine will run on this oil. The RPMs increase as the extra oil is taken in. As a result of increased RPMs, more oil is pulled out of the crankcase and into the engine. Now a cycle is created, more RPMs, means more oil, which means more RPMs. A diesel the normally run around 1800 RPM will run up 2 or 3 times that! The engine reaches a point where its now using its own oil as fuel, that shutting off the fuel won't stop it. It will rev up until it blows it self up. The extra oil can come from bad oil seals in a turbo, overfilling the crankcase with oil or even from the out side, like a power steering leak or even a propane or LP gas leak near by. Paul

  9. Perkins Specialized Transportation of Northfield, Minn. used heavy-haul Titans to move 800,000 lb. generator vessels from San Onofre, Calif., to Clive, Utah. The job was so massive that it required three Titans in total -- one in front and two pushers behind the nearly 300-foot long trailer.

  11. Take all you can!! My child hood stopped in 1962 so no real photos after that, just a few memories. Paul
  12. First time ever in the current Over Drive mag, I read about a 700 mile road test of a new Mack Pinnicale with a loaded trailer, from the Mid America Show in Kentucky to Allentown Pa..David Mc Kennna from Mack and Steve Sturgess. Both vets with 30 plus years in the Trucking industry . It had the 505 H.P. and a M Drive automatic. Good review through the city and mountains. Never see any Mack reviews or road tests. Paul
