  1. U don rit tha gode olive
  2. Study more and relax . The weight limit for non CDL is 26000, Pretty easy to go over,IMO. You still have to stop at weigh stations, and prove what you have on it or in it is for your personal use and if you bust the weight limit, be prepared to pay per pound over. Just not worth the crap. Don't let the test stress you out, you know the material, relax and you'll be fine. Remember even the idiot from American Trucker passed his test. Paul
  3. Mack 237 with an auto to NYC specs, 98 inch wheel base, wrecker is full hydraulic and an 80,000 rated boom. front bar will lift or push also. Weldbilt is 20 minutes from me and had 2 in process when the did my R. That was the last of the NYC Bridge and Tunnel Authority units. These are the newest and last of the Macks at last years parade in Staten Island. Chesapeake Bridge and Tunnel and the highway to the Keys run them also.

    Momma was listening to the key clicks,she seems to know when I type the name Autocar, so I did it small to be quiet.
  5. The Clarke Powershift used it it will vary converter stall speed under extreme load and split drive ratios before you will damage drive train parts. It was designed for the XM70 Abrams proto type with the turbine and is used in a lot of ultra heavy equipment.
  6. With that idea,my shop truck isn't allowed out along any more

  10. Don't know if its a good deal or not, but interesting. Paul http://www.hemmings.com/parts/item/2702.html?refer=news

    D Day

    June 6 is D Day the invasion of Normandy and the start of the liberation of Europe. Remember that this day means, I'm sure main stream media with give it 30 seconds.... Thanks for the freedom the greatest generation gave us.
  15. It's a Kw 953,a 963 or a 983. Originally made for Middle Eastern oil field work V 12 Cummins in most and the 953 had twin rads for cooling in 130 degree heat or better. The USAF used them to transport Minuteman missiles to desert silos at one time. http://www.paccar.com/paccint/Kenworth/963_FamilyBrochure.pdf
  16. Hope you got the boy keeping an eye out for snakes. Seems he's a good shot. Paul
  17. Miller tire in Ohio makes them, Lot of mid 30's trucks ran them along with the 8.00 x 40 for my AC., Paul
  18. I'll be 1/2 mile away on friday removing the old combine from the woods, I'll ask to snap some pics of the vin tag and engine. From what little I gather this truck is a mystery going back 8 to 10 years as to what it is. Paul
  19. And a $20.00 pelt at the fly fishing Lure maker.
  20. I asked around a bit about it and here what I'm told. The truck was bought from the Iowa 80 Truck stop in Walcot in 2004 with the H series Cummins in it and the original V 300 Cummins V8 with it in pieces. Now has an NTC220 Cummins in it. Was tagged originally in California and found in Wyoming. They think is was a Constructor type unit. It is in limbo right now. Not for sale bu may be. Paul
  21. To each their own. I like the ideas but for that money I'd like a ton of photos or a video. IMO Paul
  22. On sunday I have my one small glass of home made Dandelion wine with dinner.
  23. The red one is an AutoCar DC 100. I was told it originally had a Cummins H series in it, now it is powered by a NTC 220. If the ground hog was at my home it would be "sunning" it self on a skin board.
