    If they hurt the kitties I'm going postal

    I'd be great to use driving on the wrong side of the road while upside down like our friend Skippy

    I'm pretty sure the only difference between the 6 and 12 are the field coils. That being said I've done a lot of conversions and left the 6v starter. I figured I'd change them when they burned out. They never burned out though. They start so fast that they don't have time to get hot. Not sure if you know starters, But they are "series wound" and are kinda insensitive to voltage. That is opposed to "shunt wound" DC motors where you have a bit more speed control. Only permanent magnet motors are sensitive to polarity and will spin the wrong way. Series and shunt motors you have to swap the field leads to make them reverse

    That truck looks pretty good really. What kind of bodywork does it need? Just do it the best you can and shoot it with something like Rust-Oleum tractor paint. If you use a half decent gun it will shine. You can buy something like this sharp 75 for like 25 bucks and rebuild it with a kit. Just spray it wet. You can sand out a run, there is no fixing a dry paint job. What's wrong with your starter? Is it a Delco?

    Trucks don't need to be trailer queens to be interesting. I can think of some junkyards that are more interesting than a lot of truck shows I'd walk right past a row of those big stack, drop visor things to look at this LM

    Yeah they built cabovers in Europe for good reason, They needed to keep the tractors short for tight operating space. Now if someone could explain this

    What do you guys think it'd cost to have that transported 1000 miles? I'd love to have a lanova truck

    Right out our back door and across one farm field we had a big hill. Day off from school, sledding on the big hill, and when we came in my grandmother would make us waffles, and hot chocolate with marshmallow on top. Half the kids in the neighborhood would be in her kitchen for waffles and hot chocolate. Big brick fireplace in her kitchen too.

    Now I see guys wearing arc flash gear to close the main breaker in a 120/208 volt panel. A few years ago I got written up for not wearing hard hat and glasses in a refinery. I was sitting on my trailer, out in the middle of an open field, at least 1000 feet from anything waiting for a call on the radio and watching boats on the Delaware river

    If it was anywhere near me I'd buy it just because it's a running Lanova. Cost me a fortune to get it here though

    I think the Germans were on the right track with these L Series. They were tough trucks And these Vomags give off a DM 800 vibe

    MAN TGS 40.480 or Mercedes-Benz Zetros 3643 for me

    Yeah this was late 80's early 90's so they were using stuff like this Air Tractor 300 series Now they have an STC (Supplemental Type Certificate)for them to do a 12 cylinder turbo diesel repower. Supposedly it can burn red fuel

    I think to capture the US market, being it's a high end truck it needs to be more 379 Pete, LTL Ford, Superliner, LT Mack looking. Real front bumper, lose that top bunk, and lose those fairings. Needs to be a bit more rugged looking. The way it is, it gives off curb sniffer vibes. No large fleet is going to buy a 770 HP truck to haul corn flakes and tampons.

    I knew some crop dusters from South Jersey that flew like that guy drives. Going out overweight, checking their mags and fuel selector while rolling, barely clearing the tree line, and getting so close to stuff by inches. But then again they were older guys that flew in Korea and Vietnam. I think they were addicted to the rush

    No, here in Pa the cops were banging us up over weight. 58,000 GVW no matter what you had. But the south americans came up and bought them like crazy. They especially wanted macks. They liked big autocars like DC9964s with SUDD rears too, all the good stuff. Parts too Endt675 and Endt676 engines, TRXL and TRXXL 107 trannys, and 55,000 and 65,000 cut offs were all really hot items for export. They were crazy for 24 inch tube type rims too. The stuff brought decent money, and they weren't tire kicking types that wanted to "think about it". If they said they wanted it, they paid you in cash and took it
