    OK four days off I hardly did anything weather wasn’t so great around here. I finally went out there today and put the two big ones on then I got to the point where I was gonna have to get a little dirtier so I pulled the plug. Hopefully I can get her all done Saturday morning I’ll certainly do my damnedest

    Well, I’m sure we all remember back in the day. They were very loud. It was really hard to talk back-and-forth and the older iron I remember riding with my pop and the U models 68, 6970 they were very loud inside.

    I was unable to open these.. bob

    But for sure to me, it looks like that truck was stored indoors for quite a while And yes, for 8000 it would have to be in good running condition.
  5. mowerman
    Yes, I probably mentioned around here. Western star is selling a lot of them.

    I have heard of aftermarket overhaul parts, but haven’t heard anything solid on anything. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were the same overall parts but no I do not know. Fortunately, my engine runs well with great oil pressure and hopefully I don’t have to put anything in it that is impossible to find. I’ve had four days off and done almost nothing the entire time yesterday I didn’t even get dressed.

    It was probably the same deal one lane each direction. Cool story thanks for that. My mom only row with my pup. Once old Brockway around 1955. She said she did not care for it at all. It was too loud and very bouncy. Ha ha.. bob

    Plus one more thing I don’t think the seller really knows a whole lot about it wondering why they’re calling it a car hauler
  13. mowerman
    Yes, I mean that sucker is in really good condition. I mean I really doesn’t need a whole lot just a few years ago I would’ve thought that was a little high but nowadays everything‘s going up so fast 8000 doesn’t really seem like a whole Lotta money especially when it doesn’t really need that much work, or at least it does not look like it does

    I plan on dropping my pan eventually just to check everything out Old engine I would rather be sure everything is OK And catch any issues before they turn into a major mountains

    Let me rephrase check the tolerances,, especially wrist pin free, free play from a photograph your cylinder. Walls appear to be in pretty good shape.
  16. mowerman
    Rod mains and wrist, pins , are an absolute must once you get it that far down that’s what I would do then if you’re going to go that far might as well do the cylinders kits good luck

    Don’t think it’s gas. It says Thermodyne breather looks diesel and those two fuel tanks pretty good price. I don’t think it will last long as that.
  18. mowerman
    That thing looks extremely clean. Thanks for that.
  19. mowerman
    Excellent thanks for sharing. And yes I understand. Donner pass was single lane both directions old highway 40

    I wound up with a brand new lawnmower couple years ago. Guy decided to go to electric, and he just gave me the gas job for free. It was almost new. He even brought it over here. I didn’t even have to go get it that doesn’t happen very often.
  21. mowerman
    Besides hard to say no to freebies
  22. mowerman
    Oh yeah, those things are insanely helpful when moving I even use it quite a bit around here to move stuff around just use it a couple of months ago to relocate a broken generator that I don’t know I’ll ever get to ha ha

    I bought a heavy duty one at Costco a few years back I use it quite a bit. It also collapses to horizontal position with four wheels on the ground it was around 75 bucks
  24. mowerman
    And yes, that’s kind of a strange looking handtruck, but that’s what it looks like it was designed for a specific application
  25. mowerman
    I had a set years ago I gave them to somebody. They are very handy to have around but I hardly ever use them and this guy needed them… bob
