Didn't mention the tach was only $58 with shipping (sorry Barry).

Thanks Leslie!!!

DCR has a bulldog on his Jeep. Bulldog on hood is one thing but the black toaster was WAY overboard!

Did anyone get a pic of the "wanna be Mack big trucker"? It was a black Nissan or Scion "toaster" with dual vertical exhaust pipes, a bulldog on the hood, and a bunch of other bulldog/Mack stuff on the vehicle. It was parked near the entrance on Saturday.

Best wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery.

Speaking of females...what happened Eastcoastdiesel Katie? Did we scare her away?

Leaning toward a generator mounted on the bottom of the trailer and wiring for 110V. I priced 12V/gas appliances and WOWIE! There is a RV salvage yard close to me that I plan to visit. Also looking at used travel trailers with the possibility of using the interior from one. Being an engineer you can bet I will research this to death before I decide what to do.

Looks like it is all downhill. Those Cats will stick to anything.

Happy Birthday!

I ordered Mack shocks for my MH and received yellow Monroe. I was told by Mack Museum, the Monroe and Mack shocks were the same.

Baffin blue! Good to hear you are getting the "bugs" worked out.

Nice pics and thanks for posting. 'bout time you haul some real iron (Ferguson).

I am glad I missed the pic!

If you want to play, you have to pay!

A little off subject but still about Obummer (on Yahoo this morning).... http://news.yahoo.com/democrats-america-own-government-223010441.html

Thanks Fred. I was thinking Tom but I was close.

Carl - expect a call. Larry - excellent information. I will be in OH next week and would like to stop by some evening to look at the details. I located a "RV salvage yard" about 40 miles from the PA farm. I plan a visit on a "rainy" day.

You should see most farm tractor interiors. My dad would have kicked my a$$ up around my shoulders if I trashed an interior like the one above. Pride in ownership? It's just an old truck like Freightrain said.

As some of you know I plan to build living quarters over the fifth wheel portion of my Great Dane trailer. Before I start to "remodel" the interior I want to install the necessary wiring and outlets. I did some research on the interweb but did not find alot of specific instructions for conversion. I am going to visit a RV dealer to hopefully get some information. I am open to suggestions from this group too. I received some valuable information from Hoover's Quarry (yellow B with sleeper - sorry I don't remember your name) and Leversole. 12V Circuit I want to add some interior lights to illuminate the cargo area. I am thinking LEDs since they draw less current and locate the switch near the rear door. I am going to contact Great Dane to determine what factory lighting was available. Any suggestions on other sources of information? Do I also install an "outlet" so I can connect a 12V/110V inverter when I am connected to the tractor (for lights, radio, microwave?, fan, charging cell phone/computer, etc.)? Is the center pin (#7 blue) the "hot" 12V wire? What is the amp rating of the 12V circuit? Do I install dedicated batteries on the trailer and charge from the tractor? 110V Circuit I want to add outlets and lights for the living quarters. I plan to purchase a generator so I am thinking a "RV plug-in" on the outside of the trailer for the generator or shore power. From the RV plug-in go to a circuit breaker box. Then run individual circuits with breakers. Anyother suggestions? Any thoughts about LP tank and appliances (stove, water heater, refrigerator)? Or stay strictly electric? Any suggestions for vents? Sorry for the long post. Hopefully this post is understandable. Thanks for any information or suggestions.

Another early Christmas present from fleBay...a NIB tachometer for the MH.

I have been biting my tongue but I hate to think or say but we are DONE! Unless something drastic happens SOON!

No, you will need to call Jim for details.

$7500 is what I heard at the show.

Saw this at Gerhart's but did not get to talk to Jim about the details. Did this get sold? Or is it still available? How difficult are cab, hood, interior, and engine parts to get for this truck?

The correct part number for the cover 89MR 22M. The illustration in the parts book shows Mack and the bulldog.
