Prior to rebuilding my 707C it was suggested to add 5 gallons of avaition fuel every once in a while as it still contains lead.

220cummings I agree with you. Robme will not be good for the USA if elected but the ones who are buying the election will get what they want. We will all be working for minimum wage and there will be no middle class. The Republicans are great for telling scary stories such as Dick Cheyney,s quote that if Obama was elected the US would be attacked on our soil again. Funny coming from a guy who was basically in charge on September 11th. I have a great deal of respect for the knowledge of the folks on these forums and hope that they would investigate everything they read and hear before condeming the Democrats. I don't think the Republicans have the middle and low class of the country in sight. The lies that Robmey and FOX news spread around are hurting the american people - just my opinion.

I will throw in my two cents. Social Security has been an issue/worry since at least 1983 when Greenspan did a report on it, and SS contributions and the age of eligibility were raised. The only way to ever get healthcare and SS changed is to make our politicians recieve the same benifits as the people they represent. I have not viewed the movie 2016 but I will say that the Republican party along with thier business partners are putting every dollar to get into office. No matter who wins the election we will still be in trouble until the jobs come back and people start to buy products and services. If you think Romney was a great businessperson, I have read reports where Bain Capital recieved a government bailout, and going in and helping businesses to save money buy sending jobs overseas is not my idea of helping the US. While Romney wants to remove the Affordable Heathcare Act, his Mass. plan read about the same. He touted it as a great thing in Massachussetts but unlike the AHA, never made any plans on how to pay for it. Romney and Ryan will hurt the US in many ways with what they want to cut in programs and funding, and will tell the public what to do more than this administration, which has not taken anyone's guns. I am pro-choice because I can't tell someone what to do if I am not in thier shoes. Ryan wants to outlaw abortion for any reason. So if a woman is raped she has to carry the baby and then raise it. I'm sure that Mr. Ryan will help pay for those unwanted children out of his pocket. Romney says he will create 12 million jobs? The republican have been telling Obama for years that government should not create jobs, so I'm confused?

I need a complete transfer valve for my Waterous 1000gpm pump. The part numbers are as follows; Valve - 70586 still available from Waterous if needed Gear Sector - 60992 still available from Waterous if needed Valve Sleeve - 71072 Bearing - 61514 The two parts are pricey and I am hoping someone will have a complete valve assembly.

Nice looking 4dr cab, 1250 pump, and less the 12,000 miles.

Do you have Dayton or Budd wheels? I have Budd on mine and am going to have them repainted all red as it came from the factory. If you can shoot them or have someone who can paint, you can pick up a quart of Dupont Centari and primer and paint them yourself. My Mack red is 4623 and I can send you a sample if you want for color matching, or I have the Dupont code. As far as the grey the Mack Museum may be able to provide a paint number or sample. Mark
