They were great cars, i drove them for 43 years starting with the 1958 model 88.

Love the first pic of that Olds, drove different models over the years starting in 1958, and drove them for 43 years until the end of production.

Since when do you have to ask permission to take a pic of a barn?

Just a heads up here, Stanley Black and Decker owns DeWalt and Porter Cable, and have for some time.

Just to add my 2 cents, one of the barrels of her main battery, that is the 16 inch guns, weighs in at 108 tons, that's 3 hundred and 24 tons in one turret, and thats not counting the breech.

Bethlehem,Inland ,and U S Steel were three that i remember, but there were more.

Well taken care of for it's age.

That's the one i use on my P900, works VERY well.

I would like to know why the store HAS TO BUY THE PAPER BAGS FROM THE COUNTY, something doesn't smell right there.

I know everyone is talking about having a hand on the wheel when shifting cars, but i drove a Mack truck back in the mid fifty's with a 20 speed forward transmission that required both hands to shift, as it had a main and an secondary transmission, so no hands on the wheel was an everyday event for me, one hand held the wheel for a very short time.

Mine is mid 2014 and i just had to have he battery replaced to the tune of just over $300.00

Looks to be a self loading freighter, and i'd assume in the old locks.

You can spray them with diesel fuel or kerosene too , as they breathe through their bodies.

I worked for the concrete co. that started redi-mix in Chicago in 1949, and we had some Jaeger mixers mounted on military surplus 6 wheel drive Diamond T's , though the majority of the fleet was military surplus Mack 6 wheel drive prime movers that had Rex mixers , both had 6 yd. mixers and operated the mixer with PTO , when i retired in 1980 we had 10 yd. mixers on 6 wheel Mack diesels with boost -a-load and 13 cu.yd. mixers mounted on semi trailers all Mack diesels , sadly no pics of the plant though, although everything operated by air with accumalating dial scales with 10 yd.tilt mixers as our plants were all central mix.
