i can't hear much ether....lol! but, that engine doesn't sound bad at al, and @kevin_c the top end was refreshed recently ??

hm.... i thought he was from Alabama...... ain't you got something else to do some place else ?? lol!

thanks, I'm sure going to look into this, my grandfather was in military, I've been told the army branch, but also told he was a radio operator / mechanic in the Air Force..... i had asked him a couple times about his experience during his time in......and, he wouldn't EVER talk about it.

well...... dont tell her, but i like it, my pop has a real cow skull with horns, all cleaned / bleached....what ever the taxidermist had to do to clean it up, it use to be hanging on the new garage up next to the big house, but they've moved it, most likely ..... her granddaughter didnt like it, long story of why my pop and my stepmother ended up adopting Haley (Janet's sons daughter) sad story, but she has me and my sisters now etc etc ....she's a good kid too...she's now riding horses, i might leave her one of my bikes at my end. soon as i dig it up, I'll be sure and post pics, it's not really much to brag on, but the reason...... when he started teaching / coaching i was told one of his students / players made it for him, but I'm not sure on that, i was also told he played high s hool football under the early years of Mr. Bear Bryant...... but i have no pics or proof. i don't even know (never was told) where Bear Bryant coached high school sports (football) .

interesting...... i have a wood carving of my grandfather in his football gear, eh.... it looks KIND of like that...... i havent thought of that carving for a couple years... I'll have to post some pics, say the wife didnt like what you came home with ?? whats the story with the skull in the 2nd pic.

thank you bro, but! i don't have any idea what i did to fix it.......LOL! i just copied the link and pasted it in a search window hit return, next thing i know I'm watching and hearing his bike.......

congrats @kevin_c i went to check out you video, i can't access maybe just on my end, just wanted you to know just in case it's not on my end. i sure would like to view and listen to that video. i got the video to work.

this vid not really for this thread so.... management y'all move it if need be, anyways fish heres our answer, and nope I've never had any dealings with this type 6+4 and your right it's aux trans setup, I'd enjoy crawling under and taking a look..... 24 gears to choose from ?? well... with an old school detriot that might be best, but with the power plants we have now kind of over kill. IMO, but you can do alot with the right gear ratio!

at this point id just go with an enclosed trailer not only do you have it strapped down, but also out of the weather. plus you have permanent dry storage, and she's >hopefully< under lock and key.

nope never use the clutch shifting.....but i think i know this deal let me check.

yeah I've seen them winched down, at the time, i honestly never thought of it..... lol..... too young i reckon, but i gotta say if i was the type to load up the atvs for a long vacation / trip etc, i might think about a enclosed trailer, I'm all for keeping equiptment out of the weather! tarps / covers aren't the same...... anyways just my thinking :-)

i knew it wouldn't be too long before you asked him to joine y'all.... lol, he's in for some good times, and great food!

Someone delete the wrong post...... haha, but it's cool it was my fault. lol ill do this again, no prob, fish i think...... the short shifter is like the range (say one is taking off loaded) my thinking would be the short shifter would be placed in low gear, and then use the tall shifter like 1st 2nd 3rd all the shift sequence then go back to the shifter hit a higher or lower range and start the left shift sequence all over again .... rinse and repeat, now i could be way off on this, but i didn't catch it did he use the clutch at all ?? it very could be an aux, it would be something new to me on a semi, I've seen them on pickups and rock crawlers on the crawlers ...... i think there a guy who makes the especially for those rigs, i knew a guy who had a fleet side 3500 2wd chevy pickup (one ton no duel rear wheels) 6.2 diesel banks turbo equipt had an aux 20% under drive i believe, bolted right to back of the automatic trans, and Mack had (at one time) an aux trans, i never had a chanc e to look at one those setup

the one shifting with two sticks ? I've seen those old setups before but no sire i never drove one, he's old school! now my friend John bone is crazy about Mack trucks, and purchased an older straight dump bed job double live mack top loading rear ends, if i recall right it had camel back springs ? that thing also had two sticks, out all of us moser,Haney,pop,myself,bicycle Willie, tommie ..... he was the only one out all of us who could shift it. i don't even know if he used the cutch haha! i got a point where i hardly ever used the clutch in ours sept on dead stop take offs etc etc ...... i got a ticket one time for not stoping at a light, i didn't pass the light, i just never stopped, i dropped back in traffic, and started down shifting finally got in the low hole, and just creeped along And reckon i was holding traffic up some......so i got nailed on that one.. some truckers will do that to thin traffic out, it usally takes 2 or more semi trucks to pull that trick off, but it does work! you got me on twin stick shifting, wished i had chanced bones Mack truck, but he was very picky, about that truck, first Mack he ever owned, he could shift the !!! out of her!! i did drive for the co-op a Mack spreader truck.... I'm trying to think if that thing had two sticks or one, it might be me thinking of the pto lever..... I'm drawing Purdy much a blank, but i think it was a single stick 5 speed...... but in short naw i never shifted a twin stick.

you could likely find those at a truck stop or camper store (i would think) i can't use those on my 5x8 no stake slots and she's got a metal mesh floor.so i use pull straps, hooked into the mesh floor where it's welded close to the trailer frame work...... but if i was going to be hauling all the time, I'd anchor to the tires or as close as get to them (bikes suspension.)

well...live and learn, i reckon, I've been there... sigh... lol! hey didn't he move away out west ?

we don't see thos e tri axle outfits around here,i see the stretch jobs (extended frames/ hoods) around here and why you'd need a single tire air dead axle under one these trucks ? have no idea, but it not needed...... unless for well..... never mind.

I'm sorry jeep, but every time you mention his name i picture him laid out on your heated floor drying his self off...... . LOL! I'll go ahead and ask how did that ordeal happen ive heard it before, but i bet a few newbies here haven't.

um he's around @shadetree i can't tell you when he'll show up.... but he's paged, anything we can help with ? welcome to ATVH.

gunna take me a while to look over these pics but what I've seen i like!! i sure do, and i to,d you! DON'T SELL IT...... lol!

hey WM when i saw those slots on @Rusted Toyota trailer. nice add with the removable d-rings!

that's got me beat hands down i was towing that much or more.
