    That’s about an hour from me. It might be a little closer to FWD. I would check it out for someone who is serious but I won’t be buying it. I paid a little more for my wrecker but got a whole lot more truck. Mike.

    Billy T. Neat story. What are 3 9’s?
  3. yarnall
    Mine has a 12 volt battery in it and the lights work. It could have been converted when it was restored in the ‘70’s. I don’t know what kind of starter it has in it. It is a firetruck. Mike.

    Yes. I was only there on Saturday and didn’t see him till I was leaving. He’s as riding around in his John Deere Gator with George Tackaberry. He also has a Construction Equipment day in the spring if you want another chance to get out here. I don’t know the date and have never been there. Mike.

    John. Great story but I think you have your serial numbers wrong. Mike

    Most of the trucks in the boneyard were not used in the business. In the past I believe Roger Gerhart has bought trucks to sell, to save from the scrap dealer or just because he liked them. I have not noticed any new acquisition recently. He is a really nice guy. If you see him you should ask him. Mike.

    They boneyard is definitely a highlight for me. I have taken pictures of the same trucks year after year. Things used to change more frequently but not much has changed since last year. They do sell the old trucks, but only whole. No parts. A couple trucks have been listed for a decade and have not gotten any better. Some kids got in there about two years ago and broke a lot of glass. That is really sad to see. Some emblems have disappeared too. If you saw something back there that you liked, give them a call. Mike.

    Congratulations and welcome to the forum. What model did you get? Is it an E model or L model? I don’t know how much you know so don’t take offense. Driving them is not very hard, but there is no power steering or power brakes. You have to be certain the brakes will stop it before you get in a situation where you cannot stop. Of course you will need to double clutch, but there is nothing to that. Have fun with it and let’s see some pictures. Mike.

    There are two different sizes of Lanova. The big one is an 862. I don’t know what the smaller one is. I think newer manifolds will fit on the 862 but am not certain.

    Welcome to the forum. Many of us like Autocars too. I have a 1950 C90 that is pretty nice and a 1960 DC75 that is not very nice at all. Mike.
  11. yarnall
    That’s awesome. You should have left your car and driven that home.
  12. yarnall
    Thanks. Maybe I’ll look into that. They were using the truck and needed king pins for inspection. I have it register as Antique so it doesn’t need inspection. Hopefully it does not affect the safety. Mike.

    The good news is it will never allow you to shift from 1st to reverse. It is hard enough to shift from 1st to 2nd. Mike.

    On my 1925, I have to push down then it is left and back I think. Push down and try all directions. My AB is different than my AC. I’d try Olsen Gaskey if I needed them. Good work so far. Mike.

    You could try Cal Little in Hummelstown PA. Search Pine Hill trailer sales. His number should come up. He has several parts 85LS's. Mike

    I strap a cub cadet gas tank to the mirror and run a hose to the carb. The gallon only lays a few minutes with a 707. You have more time with the 460 or whatever it is in the B422. As far as long term goes it depends what you want. There are lots of square steel tanks out there or you can clean and coat your. Appropriate Round aluminum tanks are harder to come by and more expensive. You can use newer tanks if you don't care about originality. Mike.

    They look good. If the engine is ok and all other things are equal, the B422 would be the better truck to keep. Might as well keep them both though. Have fun with them. Mike.

    I was shown a paper on Mack letterhead the explained the letters for the A models and it said X is for excavator. Mike.

    I used white post for the wheel cylinders, master cylinder and brake booster on my 405A. I am very happy with their work. Only send one side at a time and send them UPS. The postal service lost my package the first time. I had to go looking for parts which was what I was trying to avoid. Mike.
  20. yarnall
    I had a rectifier built for my 405A by a company in Adamstown Pa. it cost $300-400. The old one was arcing really bad but the truck still ran fine. I was afraid it would catch on fire. I can get you the contact info next week if you need it. Whay is your serial number? My father has B85F1098 which is a 1955 from Harrisburg PA. Mike

    I thought George bought a highbinder and Hank Doornekamp bought a Crackerbox. There might have been three trucks on that trailer. Mike.

    That's it. Thanks for posting. It has some rusybut isn't to bad for an old township plow truck. I compounded the whole thing, front to back, with steel wool. Mike

    I bet it is a DC75 Autocar or similar. It is not really loudest on the hood. It is rust running down off the Autocar Diesel emblem.
  24. yarnall
    I thought I had already responded to this but guess not. I have a 1961 Chevy C80 with a 348, independent front suspension and air brakes. The two speed rear does not work so it is very slow. It could use new king pins but the previous owner could only find one pair in California for $1000, so it did not get them. Probably none available now. I had it at Macungie this year. Maybe someone had a picture. Mike.

    Made in Buffalo New York, I believe. There is a really rough original cab and chassis for sale near me. He wants $2000 for it and engine is stuck. Actually there is no cab.
