Damn somebody outbid me. LOL Think I should go for 20K?

I love these guys. Especially the way they upset all the tech school brainiacs that need 7 micrometers and 2 torque wrenches to replace a rocker cover gasket and it leaks worse when they are done. This is the problem with the new breed of mechanics, they just don't understand this simple statement,,, "That machine has to run tomorrow or we are royally Fu&%^ed". It's like they are more concerned about what they learned reading Big Rigger Magazine, and what the guys at the chrome shop told them. They are "going to do it the RIGHT way" because downtime isn't important Damn Millennials with their soft hands and their avocado toast and girl coffee 😠

LOL

How come no one is H1B this guy and his apprentice? https://youtu.be/D-NpIif-xlc?si=ELURE5Anq6QMqPQg

And another one,, WTF

Sitting here listening to Saga eating popcorn. She sings like a Beautiful Arian Angel. I spent damn near 50 years living and working in the Phila area. It's horrible there now. Look at Kensington for Gods sake. I remember when Kensington was a White working class neighborhood full of Irish and Poles.

Seems like those dual ignition fire truck heads were significantly different on the 707. Even different sides for intake and water manifolds Third picture is regular truck engine with updraft carb and single ignition

I had a mag failure on a Cherokee 180 flying home from Cape May NJ one time. The thing felt gutless. I might have been around 4000 max, and it felt like I was at 10,000 feet. Got on the ground and did a mag check and one was dead. I can't remember if it was left or right, but it was the one without the impulse mechanism, because I got it restarted and taxied over to the hanger

C train the dolly hooks up with 2 pintile hooks, so it can only articulate up and down, not side to side

I've never seen a C train of any type except in pictures, Here in Pa I only ever see A Trains

I was thinking at some speed, the wind buffeting, the speed of the tires rotating, and the frequency because of the short length of the converter dolly, and a few other things would be timed just right and,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Poor Joe is dead, if only we had loaded the gaylord full of rubber dicks in front of the pallet of Kotex pads. I'm sure it wouldn't have gotten all crazy unstable like it did

I wonder what doubles would be like at triple digit speeds lol

I was getting vertigo

I remember seeing it somewhere for sale back around 2000. It might have been TNT. I was thinking it was Pittsburgh Power, but I could be wrong

Gypsy asphalt paver special. Knocks on some old ladies door and says he ordered too much blacktop and bla bla bla "great deal" bla bla bla

Like one of those guys who puts a dump body on a freight tractor with air suspension and doubles the frame kinda half azzed up until doing that gets difficult so he stops somewhere around the back of the cab. Then tries to tell me it's done right

Steering gear and springs are saying about 12,500 to me

I'm thinking some engineering compromises were made that leaned towards "show truck" that make it somewhat unusable for work. I'll bet that front axle is overweight before it's even hooked to a trailer.

What steering axle do you think that is?

I didn't know they made that much more power than a regular single ignition EN707

When you buy a vehicle with a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin, you have to pay the FET in order too title it. If it was built as a trailer queen, that would explain why it was never titled

Yeah they all got like that from hauling coils mostly. We used to flip them over and heat the lower flange of the beam with a rosebud. Put the arch right back in them. I always used a #20. The faster you get it hot, the better it works. When you heat a spot quickly it tries to expand, but the cold metal around it won't let it. So it distorts into a slightly thicker section. When it cools it contracts the only way it can by creating tension in the lower flange of the beam. Do it in enough spots and it pulls a positive camber right back in

That has to be going back a few years. The only thing I can think of using a radial in recent years is agricultural aircraft. I knew a guy that did banner towing with a Stearman 75 but that had to be from the 40's
