No, you just don't understand it because you are uneducated

That last one is still a worker

If I go to a show I want to look at stuff like this, not listen to some idiot blast his stereo

I wonder if there was ever a Mack built with one of these. I'd heard of them in trucks before, but I thought it was something some farmer or contractor did. I never knew AC produced them as a highway truck option. 450 horsepower in 1070ish was crazy big

WTF?

Those chrome shop types remind me of Duke's Caddy

These kind of trucks make me throw up in my mouth a bit t

Joe Wesley's (Amquip Crane) 12v71 Brockway moved some serious loads back in the day

I don't think I know him. Did he work for Racho or something?

Turn it upside down and let it sit for a week 🙃

Yeah, the stacks were a dead giveaway. Amazing how we hauled loads without 8" stacks 13 feet in the air back in the day

Big Bad 318

Crane Carrier Corp with a Sheller-Globe Cab I thought I had more pictures, I'll have to post them when I find them. BTW Sheller-Globe also built the later Brockway "Mack Cab"

24.5 will go on a 24" multi piece rim. The 24.5 has a tapered bead and the narrow part on the taper is real close to 24". Of course a tube is required. WARNING, DO NOT DO THIS, IT'S A BOMB AND THE MORTICIAN WILL HAVE TO PUT YOUR HEAD BACK ON WITH SCREWS AND GLUE. That being said I saw it done and told the guy to get the damn thing out of my shop. Back in the 1970's we used to see 16.5 tires on 16 inch rims now and again. There was common misinfo out there that a 16.5 was just a tubeless 16. It happened enough that we got a safety bulletin about it from somebody. The taper on the bead of the XX.5 tires doesn't lock the ring in like it should, and being the tire is only tight on the rim in a narrow area, as you go down the road there is motion between locking parts. This mismatch makes the Kelsey Hayes 2 piece wheel look safe

I had some gears that went on a tapered shaft for a really old Cleveland overhead bridge crane. The new custom made gears had the taper cut just a hair big and the gear went on the shaft too far. I shimmed them with paper. The crane ran another 15 or 20 years until they tore the building down. Damn that thing was old. they claimed 1890's, all riveted construction, and it used carbon piles for resistors in the motor speed control. Had two hoists, and the cab traveled on the bridge with one of the hoists, that was a funky feeling

A lot of ENDT675 parts can be used. I even saw a guy use fire ring maxidyne liners in an old 18 Stud END673 one time. He cut the grooves in the head and modified the Maxidyne head gasket Then again, we're noy sure the OP has a 673, he could have a 711. Not sure how available liner kits are for a 711 anymore

Back when they let us use real dump trucks. Before the government got serious about all that axle weight nonsense

I kind of get the feeling that there was some miscommunication at the tire shop. I get young guys all the time who don't know a 11r24.5 is a 10r22 and so on. Tube type sizes are ancient history to them

How much?

I've had hookers tell me that the bigger the stacks, the smaller,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, So I only ever ran one stack and kept it short And then there is the bridges and low doorways thing here in the Northeast
