Re: Lurker from WI
Welcome Jeff,
Admitting to us that you own a CNC shop is probably a good way to assure that you will never have enough down time for yourself:D:D
I can predict your PM box is going to fill up...

Mere written text cannot even begin to express the WOW factor of this build !!
The time, patience, skill, and attention to detail are just beyond belief. It is almost criminal to think this...

Re: Izzy's IH
For me personally, this is hands down one of my top 3 all time builds. I've always loved these 1:1 Transtars, and your rendition is just beautiful !
Awesome pics too boot. Great truck.

Re: *gear reduction unit
Another alternative is this. Scott (rcguy farms) turned me on to these years ago.
Look for the B series beetle motor halfway down the page

Re: *gear reduction unit
I don't have any visual proof of it, but I have run my single axle and flatbed doubles around with a 12 pack on each trailer. At the time tho, the thought never crossed my mind to get a GVW on it....

WOW..... You guys are way beyond my scope of intensity when it comes to figure gearing. Reading all these responses, I would think we're trying to decipher Einstein's theory of Realitivity :p:D

Re: Ford F800 BigJob
Thx guys. I'm trying to take myself back 50 years on this one. Y'know, when the color wheel only had about 6 colors on it. This color was probably something drab-like that would have been seen back...

Re: My "office"
I haul both dirt and coal, but prefer dirt runs. And obviously, there's ALOT more of it to move than coal. Dirt is faster paced, and makes the shift go by faster. I can easily get 80 loads per shift...

Re: Headache Rack?
That M&J unit looks great !! Nice to see there's a alternative out there for us.
I bought one of PMDs 'racks for my WDC Pete, and was not impressed by it, considering what I paid for it ....... IMO
