  1. The head lights is the ugliest thing in this rig. There probably was some accident and they fabricated the light panels of plywood with the most locally commonly used bulbs. So my list includes head light buckets. Maybe her brother ? (or sister?)
  2. Thank you for the input although looks like I need to work over the Mack stuff, not Fuller. The linkage is an Ultraliner feature, I think it's the same for any or most gearboxes in it.
  3. No, I'm not. Although I found the lettering on the side bracket, there's written Neway. You can see it above the lever bolt.
  4. Slowly crowling along my Lanova. Not in the museum though.
  5. I found that beast on Auto.ru i.e. locally. It was rated cheap, had no batteries, stuck threadle brake valve and flat front tyre. Located in Saint-Petersburg (in Russia, not the US), I made 700 km trip from Moscow to. The seller made me too valuable discount and I was too glad to have it. Being looking for the transportation I resolved to use a towing company. Expensive but fast and trouble-free. Have got her near the house today. E6-350, Eaton-Fuller 9 speed, new design (?) Neway-Airride and 24.5 on the spokes all around. 1991, made in Pensilvania. Now I'm on the looking for-list, the first point is two or three lower parts of the grill. Also there's a hot question - any pictures or schemas of the gear shifting linkage. It's broken under the cab near the lower end of the lever and I can't figure out how it should be like. The low range air lines were also broken right near the lever knob, any info is too appreciated. Vlad
  6. Nice little dog. Be happy with him!
  7. Glad to see her saved. What a B-53 is? I mean in relation to B-61.
  8. Cool! Who made the first one?
  9. Cool video and trucks look great! Shure being proud of how the unit you drive look nice helps a lot in your hard work. It worth enjoying weekends on my mind.
  10. I'm too afraid not. When you talk about side gears do you mean an upper (bewel) gear set? If yes you need to set the position of the gears to each other to get a correct contact area, also you have to set the bearings pre-load. A lot of work, I'm going to get over it one day but I have no chances to find ready rears of the kind I need. Much more easier to swat just diffs. You need to get them out for rebuilt anyway.
  11. I also had to do some drilling to line up the holes for the rivets. That all was the story though...
  12. Congrats on the work done Looks great and it might pay back some extra invested labour as an advertisement thing. Shure everybody must be proud putting such a nice piece of work to customer's hands.
  13. Pretty cool lot of pics this time. Two sheeps had blue balls. No, two sheep had no balls, I remembered the correct grammatic. Too surprized seeing so much snow in your area, we already have it gone for a couple of weeks with about 60F now. Neat collection of the truck shots, I also noted the city of Winfall stayed good. And too hope the cabbage plantation will keep fine. Don't forget to let us know how they will being in the future.
  14. Glad to see her running and take my hat off of the way she was fixed.
  15. The Lovemachine truck was custom built here in Moscow. The guy painted and printed the decals for and made a lot of detailing. He showed out here once, asked for advice over the gear box. And MH was also done here by the other chap. Hi used AIM cab, filed and filled it hard though. Than built the double steer 4 axle Aussie chassis. He also looked an advice here but for that chassis. With no luck if the memory served me good.
  16. Best of luck with the project Ryan. I'm too glad you lost the idea of selling RW and changed your way to increasing the fleet.
  17. Don't forget the path back. Keep well.
  18. This interesting set up with riveted pads looks strangly familiar to me. Because I worked out the same stuff in my army truck. Those rivets didn't make a trouble because were not straight through rivets. Each pad fixed to its own leaf. I had one broken leaf in one spring in the "project" truck and planned originally to change it. But when I bought the "spare" truck I first realized to not change one leaf but whole the spring. And next I resolved to change them springs both to keek them off the same vehicle.
  19. What a nice baby! Congratulations on the results, hope to see her completely finished soon. Vlad.
  20. I too like the color scheme on the braun cab. You may keep this kind of strip work on my mind.
  21. Interesting point Tim, I'm right about the moment to loose my feel that I was the one of the kind
  22. A friend of mine who lives in NJ used to drive them. If I remember correctly the first reason was the car had 3 doors (not 4), the second - it had a stick. Probably there's also the reason it was mostly plastic so no ways to scrap it. At least his wife was kidding alot about.
  23. I thought right the different thing - what the matter to get planting cabbages instead of catching whole the hundred turkeys?? Thank you for the weekly sharing Tom.
  24. Too sorry ECD.
