  1. Needed an o2 bottle so while I was there I picked up some dry ice and installed set of dry sleeves
  2. thanks for posting Ace. I love all pics of different regions like these pics, Matts thread and that is why I posted the Norfolk County video.( for everyone to see some Ontario) Post lots more when you have time!
  3. is that what they call Chinese checkers ?🥸
  4. Jeeps is a pretty smart guy that name calling is a new low
  5. I don't think Canadians have anymore trouble with them than anyone else( I have cursed my share of Amerians), There seems to be a period of time after they are introduced that stupid ppl struggle with them and there's no fixing stupid. Could be some ppl are out of their comfort zone outside their own country? I think flow of traffic should be focused in drivers training at every level. I also think every level of driver should be required to pass the written apart of AZ/DZ or CDL.
  6. I think the radius on the corners are the same but that is where it ends with the cabs. COE is wider and bigger windows. but I can see why guys see the similarity
  7. If it comes down to one magazine and or club fees it will be Red Power for me Great magazine with book quality paper and content They are going to publish a quarterly Red Power Jr in the new year for youth.what a great idea
  8. those are really a poor comparisons. John Deere had to completely go back to the drawing board and redesign their whole tractor line. an example. when GM dropped the GTO they didn't start production of Electric vehicles! they built a new car of similar designs IH dropped the 560 and built a bigger , better 6 cylinder diesel - they didn't build something radically different
  9. funny thing with brand loyalty is with say GM or Deere ( I am a GM guy) my loyalty began in the 70s with the SBC and the commonality from engine to engine and body platforms, My loyalty is not as strong and at the end of the day the company is not the same company as those times. The corporate logo isn't even the same. Case IH is not IH and really is Deere the same company that a few guys get defensive about? How can you defend the newer ones based on loyalty from the 2 lungers. don't make sense to me ..just sayin
  10. Conexpo-Con/Agg’s 20th Century Roots | Construction Equipment
  11. IH construction division was sold to Dresser which became Dresser-Komastu later Komastu if my memory is correct
  12. you sound like me. I don't mind driving older trucks but I won't drive rot box junkers or banged up trucks little hijack( sorry hobbyfarmer) local guy sells new take off boxes and southern boxes. He has put newer boxes(14-19) on the 07-13 style trucks and they look great
  13. does your roundabouts have an apron in your area. they are made for trailers to navigate the turn I can take or leave them but they have 2 advantages #1 it should slow traffic in areas where nothing else will #2 I am always afraid of getting t boned at 50 plus mph at traffic light controlled intersections which will be catastrophic. you usually walk away from fender benders . Biggest problem with them is bad drivers
  14. Yes but i do think similar tooling was used to make both cabs This was the root cause 🙁
  15. here's a refresher for those who forget what an ugly truck looks like
  16. from what I see ppl approach them at a high rate of speed and cannot react to another vehicle in the roundabout quickly enough
  17. north side of $10.000 is my bet. let us know please couple months ago I was fueling up my old Sonoma. saw a girl come out of store headed for a full sized GMC, I thought to myself she will probably hit me .... half serious . Well the truck started backing up and I reached inside the cab while sounding the horn and BANG hit me . it was her boyfriend or hubby driving. Looked like a sledge hammer hit it just above front right tire $2049
  18. thats a lot of miles and its got rust, I would be inspecting that frame carefully before I put any money in it I can't disagree with any advice given here, all good!

    This should be called Binder Land similar to Farmall Land. My buddy has been there , says they sell a lot of old IH truck parts. Alberta if you are in the area
  21. the Astro cab is much wider and windshield taller. I don't see it but then again I think they are sweet so may not see what you are seeing😍
