Did you sell the H models?

Looks like a Scout truck. Did it come from Wunderlich's auction in Phoenixville PA?

Matt, I looked for you at Macungie but couldn't find you. The truck was hard to miss though. It looked great. Mike

I left a message today. Not sure I had the right number. Give me a call when you get a chance Thanks. Mike

That is the same shift pattern and plate that is in my 1950 LFT from Ralph Smith. Mine has a Lanova. I don't know the proper way to shift it. I often run it up in low then shift to high in 4th or 5th. I will split is sometimes and that works. My 1947 85LS firetruck has the same shift pattern with a straight 5 speed. I have to think when I shift them or I end up in the wrong gear. My 72 Transtar has that reverse shift pattern mentioned above in a 13 speed roadrunner to make it double overdrive. That is way faster than the other trucks. Mike

Hello, I'd buy the bell if I can afford it. How much are you asking? Im on the other side of the state but should be able to get someone to pick it up for me. Thanks. Mike.

This G model is currently owned by a guy who did a lot of work for me. A friend of his had bought 3 trucks from Covington: this one, the four wheel drive GMC and a B81 Mack. He had great plans for them but did nothing. They sat at this guy's place for decades and rusted away. When the owner died a few years ago the trucks were sold and my mechanic ended up with this one. I tried to buy it several times. My father looked at it and said to stay away. Mike.

https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/usda-partnerships-climate-smart-factsheet-22.pdf. This might answer some of your questions. My wife is the person who applied for the grant. She is the farmer. I work off the farm. Mike

The program is to fence off streams to keep livestock out of them. This allows vegetation to grow alone the stream. The vegetation decreases run off thus decreasing flooding and sedimentation. The decreased sediment increases oxygen carrying capacity of the water making the streams healthier for fish. Tree growth over the stream decreases water temperatures which provides better habitat for sport fish like trout. This supplements the fishing industry. It is not a simple one for one proposition. As I mentioned, we can figure out how to get this done without the grant. We raise much of our own food. There are farmers that will not be able to fill the gap caused by increased tariffs and cuts to foreign aid leading that provided their income. Where will you get your food from if they are not growing it for you? Michael

We were going to get a federal grant to put up fence for our sheep, but the program was canceled today. It was a ‘climate smart grant’. We all know someone who was negative affected by a climate disaster last year. We can figure things out in our own, but what about people who really need these programs that are being eliminated. People whose lives depend on farming and the federal prop are the only things that are keeping their family farms going. Where are we going to get food from? People whose houses get washed away in floods and look for federal aid to help rebuild. I suspect many of us will be affected by these policies that everyone is so happy about until they are personally affected. Michael Yarnall

It looked like a corporate can so White makes sense. There’s a lot going on in that shed.

Dennis Yaworski in Connecticut has several LR’s and LV’s. I don’t know if he would sell parts though. Mike

That C model looks like a good project. I bought an aluminum sleeper year but don’t have any pans for it yet. is the big red thing an Autocar?

I posted on the G model site that Mikey has been active on. I’ll contact hi directly if he doesn’t reply.

Is this better?

Hello Gentlemen. I got a C609 but it is missing the Bulldog base and the radiator emblem. I’m told the base is the same as an LTL so everyone probably has one or two lying around. The Mack emblem is the same as the G model and N model so they have to be really common too. So, if you happen to have one or both please let me know. Thanks. Michael Yarnall. Douglassville Pa.

I have a great place by me, but I am in PA. Trappe Generator. You could ship it to them but it wouldn’t be cheap. Rebuilt is usually around $200 I think. Mike

I’m sure it is Ken’s MH. That F model with the fancy sleeper is on the other side.

Welcome. Nice H61’s. Mike

I do not own the yellow brockway. I forget the owner’s name but I have talked to him several times. I think he is from NJ. Mike

It’s either and E model or A model. I bet A, like a A51, but I would have to see the grill to tell if A or E.

Great work. This is one of the times when the drive train is more valuable than the sheet metal. Mike

Welcome back. If you like to sell the autocar instead of cutting it up let me know. I could find you another Autocar to rod. Mike.

John was in the SEPA chapter of ATCA. I knew him through that. They sold some of his Brockway parts at Macungie about 6 years ago. I think the family kept one or two of his trucks.

I did. Saw him at Macungie every year.
