  1. Welcome! Where you live?
  2. Way to go Rick!
  3. Thanks! Not to get off subject, but it would be nice to see a Bulldog article (if one exists) on Martin's MHs. Does anyone know of a Bulldog article index?
  4. Heave ho it's off to work we go... Only heavy breathing in the movies I watch...
  5. Brent - what is the feature tractor for 2014? Farm Show Directory will not arrive until March 2014.
  6. Thanks for posting! Interesting article. The article mentions A&B Mack; Chambersburg, PA. A&B Mack is no longer in business but that is where my MH and other MHs at Martin's were purchased. The old A&B building is near Martin's (you can see Martin's building behind the garage).
  7. Welcome back ECD. I miss seeing your posts. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
  8. Congrats on organizing a Chapter. Keep us updated on show(s), location(s), and dates.
  9. In the Mack Museum/Customer Center hanging on the back wall of the Mod Center...
  10. Maybe you can "rent" it to our Aussie friends when they visit the US.
  11. Many many months ago there was some discussion about removal of the Bulldog from the WHq building. Well I FINALLY found a couple pics. The third and fouth ones were posted previously by another person. Enjoy (or cry in your beer).
  12. Snowing here in Canton. Received 5"-6" since this morning. Shoveled the driveway twice.
  13. Econodyne blue? It is to be an EM6 Maxi. Red with chrome?....hmmm, something is amiss.
  14. This is a E6 2 valve (stamped steel valve covers)...
  15. True, 1:1 is a direct straight thru without any gears or loss. Overdrive uses a gear set (drive loss) to obtain a 0.73 or ??? ratio (potentially more wear on gears and bearings). I also agree, you need to run a fast axle ratio (low number) but it does not work very well in hills or off-road. I have a friend who managed a mid-Western fleet and ran 10speed directs because he achieved better fuel mileage
  16. I will! Echo the "thanks for the POTW". I enjoy seeing what you see. As for the Winfall wimmin...well I can't wait for your computer to get fixed. As "tacky" as they are a few wimmin pics add some "color" to the POTW thread. Wine in a jar?
  17. X2
  18. Maybe the trainer was "in training to be a trainer".
  19. Thanks for the information on RED coolant. I knew it is extended life but that is all. Where can I purchase 50/50 red coolant? Since the fleet used RED coolant, is that the reason the coolant conditioner filter was removed from my EM7? Will I do harm if I install a filter?
  20. Dang Mike! Corn and beans must have been good this year!
  21. Brent, Nice engine (and Mack). Been to Chambersburg show at Twin Bridges many years ago when they hosted the International Cockshutt Club. Nice show grounds. I will have to put your show on my 2014 calendar and try to attend.
  22. Red in my EM7-300. Use coolant recommended for a Diesel engine. Coolant color varies by brand and EL (extended life). Your engine should have a coolant conditioner filter in front of the thermostat housing.
  23. As a kid, I remember a few of these plow trucks in PA. It seemed these were put in service after a big snow storm or blizzard. I always thought they were an awesome sight pushing thru big snow drifts. And IIRC, it took two (2) persons to run it. One drove the truck and the other operated the plow. Somewhere I have a B&W photo of one in front of the homestead. I think the PA greenstamp had several of these trucks too.
