There is no reason to use a suicide cord when interlocks for your breaker panel are cheap. They are only like 50 bucks

Mine run bauxite is about 2,000 lbs. per cubic yard

Not only the quietest. more or less better quality units all around. If necessary they will run for months on end. A friend of mine ran his whole place on an 1800rpm lister 6500 watt that started out life as a light tower. He ran it for 2 years straight only shutting down for maintenance. These JC ONANS are great too, run them on propane because you can store it forever. I had one on natural gas run a whole police district in Philly for 3 months when a primary fuse blew on the pole and nobody really noticed until the Onan shut down for low oil. Picture is of a Onan 12.5 JC , But the JC series comes in a couple sizes I think a 6.5 is the smallest and something like 15 is the largest. And the KW rating is real, not like these 3600 rpm units with their BS ratings

The museum used to be right at Macungie back in the day. But it was smaller I think. I've never been to the Allentown Museum

I didn't know he was running a mechanical detach

Some reason you don't want to put a set of 38 or 44s on camelback under it. If you are not going to be bobtailing a lot, they don't ride that bad. Air ride cabs work great too. Personally I've never had an air ride I liked. Compared to a camelback, they get stuck in spit. And if you are going to run a dump, camelbacks, Hendrickson. or some other single point suspension is really the only thing I trust to be stable

Is that using just regular printer ink? Like you use on regular printer paper?

Why are women even allowed to vote?

I have a fear the reality is much worse

I never did understand why they went from the L cab to the B. I've owned an L and driven a few. L cabs were comfortable. I'm a big guy and B cabs always felt tight to me

Well I think they stopped making them in 1985, so kids your age have probably never seen one.

I used to see them in heavy spec DM now and again. Friend of mine had one in in a V-8 DM. I was thinking universal tractor fluid, but you are probably right. Whatever you do, don't let a rebuilder touch the starter. The dingleberries always loose the nose. And they are big money. They'll hand you a starter that looks right, but oil will pour out of it

From sometime in the 60s until the mid 80's Mack offered a clutch that ran in an oil bath. I think it was a 13.5 inch two plate. Different bell and trans bell, seal between the starter drive and starter motor. (Different nose), and the clutch was actuated by an air cylinder. In the cab instead of the regular clutch petal there was a regular treadle valve, just like the one for brakes. When you looked in ,, it looked like you had two brake petals. Built for very severe service. If you took them apart to replace an engine or something, they'd have hundreds of thousands of miles, and still look brand new

Imagine pulling on the scale at Jeddo and hearing Peggy go WTF https://www.facebook.com/Pakistanitruck1/videos/226992802625351/

You ever see this place? I was going down the road and thought I was hallucinating. I had to pull over and look 51 Manor Rd, Schuylkill Haven, PA 17972

Broken front axle repair, and making frame rails. I really like these guys. How do I get some of them to move to Hazleton and live behind my shop?

I think the Dynamax wet clutch was great for that kind of stuff

Actually my first ride was my uncle's WC22 White, Super Mustang, 5 speed with a 2 speed rear. It had a single boom wrecker on it they built in the shop. Dark blue brush paint lol.

When they first started talking about building trucks I was picturing something rugged with like a C15. Then they turned out to be a rebadged Navistar

No I guess not. Hey, what the hell happened to all the new CAT dump trucks I saw when I moved up here. Did they all get cut up for scrap? One of those North Jersey guys had a whole bunch of them

About 4 more hours

Yeah, lower hole is for a temp sender
