When IS Macungie this year?

What size belts (width) do our trucks use? My engine is a 1973 ENDT675... Thanks

It is nice to have Cumberland Truck parts just a couple of miles away...for the types of things I need, they always have them in stock!

It is even simpler than the small ones! One wire to a guage on an ignition circuit (even this is optional!) and one for charging!

Same as the generator mount...just not supported at the back...it is sturdy but there are concerns vibration may take its toll so I will build a spacer and get a long bolt that runs from the rear alt ear to the generator mount rear tab.

It is a Meritor brand ALT-1004...got it at Cumberland Truck Parts...I am sure you can get one close to where you live! It is still working like a champ!

Youse guy'zes minds are in the gutter, I am sure Rob is going to practice his escapeology with miss kinky's device!

Same thing I was thinking! Gonna have my wife and son follow me with the video camera!

Always knew you had some kind of extra sensory perspiration!

Always wondered if they shortened the frame why there were two welds in the inner frame, looked a short section was added...I knew it started life as a tractor and at some point was converted to a dump... looked back at my Mack paperwork and see that it was special ordered at 146" wheelbase. it is now 165"...that explains it, they lengthened it!

So, I should be able to see this by video-ing a nice closeup that shows the inner part of the tire and the frame, after moving forward, backing up should produce a noticable movement as the axles try to track to the other side right? Guess I will have to drop plumb lines on all major componenets to the ground to measure like I would when rigging an airplane!

Being around "truckers" it would be easy for you to pick up some rubber tie downs with one end broken, just make a loop in the broken end, attach it to the "bro" (or man-ssiere) and you will get all the support you need!

Did some measuring today... From rear of cab crossmember face to front of trunnion stand crossmember face left side 89 1/2" right side 89 7/16" Bolt center cab crossmember to front trunnion (square bracket) left side AND right side 66 1/4" Square Measured a point on top of frame rail x distance from cab crossmember (used a square) to point on top of frame in line with front trunnion bracket bolts (used plumb bob) 1st diagonal 77 1/8 2nd diagonal 77 3/8 Measured from front axle to front rear diagonally... 1st diagonal 139" 2nd diagonal 139 1/2" BUT... The axles housing on drivers side seems to be back almost 1/2" in relation to the spring end...that would also explain why the front of the drive housing is over towards the drivers side more than others have measured... Anyhow, I lools like the frame may be out of square by 1/4" or less...dont know if this a lot or a little? I guess my plans are to find/build/modify a crossmember to stiffen the frame where the frame was spliced, and maybe retro fit some shocks to the front axle... also try to figure out why the front axle is canted..and the sliding joint on the driveshaft is definitely not sliding, will check if it is bottomed out...

Is Spot the kinda feller that would make doo-doo in the tub?!?

There is an entire website devioted to the people of walmart! http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/ This one is a contest to who stores their cell phone better!

Not a DUMP truck, but you could "take" a dump in it....

I bet there are MORONS in Sunny South Florida too!!!

And one just for Mark!!!!

Yeah, it came with the truck, it was on a bent up corrugated plate....

An old non functioning gutted Fruehauf, just bolted to the crossmember for show...

WTF? Didnt notice this before! Can anyone tell me if this is rubber or brass bushed? And where are the bushing, on the trunnion stand or the spring mount? Thanks!
