  1. That was our tractor.I can remember when ever we would have a heavy load on it and had to come to stop on a hill the fan would hit the shroud.The truck was original ordered by a fellow that was going to use it as a tri-axle dump in north NJ.I'm sure by now if it still on the road the frame has to have some crack in it.
  2. The name of the restaurant is the Empireal Princess,it in Chinatown.If you go make sure you are both starving they will serve you more food then you will ever eat.Have a great trip.Stay safe.
  3. Thanks gear head,great pictures.The hard work of all you farmers lets us all enjoy the food we eat.Thanks again.
  4. Your doing a great job,would love to have that nice forklift.
  5. If I throughout you would have the time I'ld give you a name of a great chinese restaurant in San Fran.If you do make it to Fishermen Wharf there is a good place to eat at.
  6. Been to San Fran many times before,sorry to say I don't think you will be leaving the airport.By the time you get a cab to get into the city it will be time to find the same cab for the return trip.
  7. Will call them on Tuesday,thanks.
  8. That DM of High Point may be one of our old DM tractors.I was told they had brought it,and converted it into a wrecker.
  9. Welcome back Randy.If your health isn't up to par don't be the dumb ass that I was and wait.I waited a year and ended up having half my colen removed, not fun.Good Luck
  10. Will be posting some pictures tomorrow on the progress i have made.Way to many irons in the fire.
  11. The excavator is a Koening 1166,and the tractor is a Komatsu 455.The beam trailer is a 75 ton cap.I think it's still working up in NY state.
  12. Maybe we can all meet up on Saturday.I'ld like to put faces with names.
  13. I guess they needed tires for another truck.Back here in Philly them trucks look better then some of the crap we see pulling containers around town.
  14. I would need one to use as a patten.
  15. As most of you may already know that I'm restoring my 1964 B87.This truck has been in our family since new.I started out with a rust free cab,the truck was stored inside most nights.We replaced some of the floor panels back in the 70's.Don't ask me why but instead of going to Mack and buying the panels we made our own,out of 1/4" steel.I cut out all of that and replace it.I am looking for the panel that is on the driver side right in front of the driver seat.The B80's had a step down in the floor not found on the other B models.You can call me at 215-669-1252 Thanks Mike Durkin
  16. They are both very SPECIAL people.The world would be better off if we had more people like them.
  17. Gald to hear your wife is doing better.Went through that ugly disease with caring for my dad.
  18. Looks like there the same deck.
  19. Brent,it's made from brass.It was made overseas for Classic Construction Models.I think they made a total of 150 of them.Was very pricey.I will try and post some more pictures of it.
  20. Mike,reading your good luck make me think of taking the r model to work.Think I will this week.My only problem is that I work in Philly and the city truck cops are not as nice as the state troopers are.Will let you all know how I make out.They are out most mornings on I95 at the Betsy Ross bridge looking for trucks.
  21. I wish i could find some of the old b model dump we had over the years,my mind reminds me that they were in excellent condition when we got rid of them.
  22. Joe,i know right where the Keystone landfill is.We worked on a section of the Casey ByPass north of Scranton.I always had good luck when i got pulled over by the state troopers,it was always the local cops that would kill me.
  23. That the reason why I don't put a rollback on my r model.I'ld be bringing more projects that my wife would let me have.
  24. If you watch it closely you will see thats there's no motor in it,also it come apart long before it hit bottom.Must of been held together with duck tape.
  25. Nice trucks,I often throughout of making my R-model into a rollback to haul my antique caterpillar tractor around to the shows.
