    I had a C-114 tandem dump in the 90's. I think it was like a 72 or 73. Set back axle. I liked it

    Not sure who did the stampings and assembled the cabs. But yeah they were the Drivers cab. I swapped parts between them. Franklin Smelting had an A Car dump that I put 2 cabs on. I kinda think one came off of a white or reo

    Nice set back axle Raider
  4. Joseph Cummings
    I wonder who built the cabs. Diamond Reo first used that R series IHC cab, and then the white cab. They never made their own
  5. Joseph Cummings
    Actually it was JDM. That was a division of James D Morrisey

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that guy in between white and osterlund. I think he was from down south
  7. Joseph Cummings
    Loyal Osterlund and Ray Houseal bought Diamond Reo. They built trucks in Harrisburg Pa actually for quite a while as "Giant Trucks". I remember in the 80's JD Morrisey bought some with air cooled Deutz engines

    Nothing new. During the Weimar Republic they were celebrating this. And they had hyperinflation too. This lady is burning money to keep warm

    Nice. I'd have it hung on the wall of my office

    That number doesn't sound right. Do you have a picture of this pump?
  13. Joseph Cummings
    You can't make this stuff up

    If they aren't put on right, and never lubricated, they don't work for chit. And they are never lubricated because modern mechanics are allergic to grease guns. Hell, just look at the pictures in this thread. New slack, no grease, not in the slack, not in the cam bushings, not in the U Joints,,,,, That's the modern way, need 20 torque wrenches and a micrometer to adjust a door hinge, 100,000 dollar snap on box, and not a grease gun in sight anywhere

    I hate auto slacks. I've seen too many not function properly. I want to get under the truck at least once a week with a wrench and a grease gun and have a good look around. Grease is cheap and easy to install, much cheaper and easier than replacing parts

    Well someone who isn't me experimented a bit, and found that what ate up the most air speed was to cut off the mixture and have the throttle wide open lol. Oh and BTW, that someone who isn't me did some experiments on spinning a Cherokee 180. It was hard to get the damn thing to spin, and really hard to get it to stop spinning. It took about 8,000 feet. Nothing like a Cessna

    I have a Dynatard on my R686 tractor, and I used to drive a R686 with a 750 Holmes on it with a Jake. As far as I remember the Jake performed about the same as my Dynatard. Then again comparing them is kind of hard, different loads, different hills, different amounts of wheels with operating brakes, hardly a scientific test. BTW I was always curious about putting an exhaust brake on a reciprocating aircraft engine. A windmilling prop eats up a lot of airspeed. It'd probably be great for a steep dive
  18. Joseph Cummings
    Yeah, you're a total dick
  19. Joseph Cummings
    Or better yet
  20. Joseph Cummings
    I got better mileage from my EN707 gasoline powered LF wrecker. Hell you'd probably do better with a Hall Scott 1091
  21. Joseph Cummings
    Yeah that would be a problem. How do we know this for sure? Somebody could have put a red knob on anything. I'd want a picture of the valves with the cover off the dash. God only knows what the kind of guy that welds to frame flanges might have done
  22. Joseph Cummings
    You know how many old trucks I've seen converted from handbrake to Maxis without any kind of anti-compounding provision? Pretty much every conversion I've seen. And I've yet to see it break anything. Anybody else remember the 55,000s with the rotochambers on them. You couldn't just bolt a 30/30 maxi on them without some mods

  24. Joseph Cummings
    So he hasn't even tested to see if the line coming from the dash valve is pressurizing when he pushes the knob in?
  25. Joseph Cummings
    Try this. Connect the line from the dash valve straight through to the rubber hose going to the quick release valve mounted on the axle. Eliminate the valve you circled in yellow, just use a coupler. Clamp the line you highlighted in blue off with a pair of vise grips. See if your maxi's release and your service brakes work
