What a great event at Tim's place. One if the best gatherings you can attend this year if you are anywhere close. Whatever the date, I will do my best to be there again this year. Great people, good food, swamp weather and awesome vehicles.:D

I dont have a wrecker either, but I do have several medium-duty vacuum trucks. My advise FWIW... follow the rules and then get your wrecker. Have peace of mind that you followed the rules and dont let a potential DOT stop next year spoil your hobby. Life it too short. Do exactly what you're...

Couple of answers to earlier posts. Stonemill: the A3 is all black. The blue trucks are REALLY shiny. NDT: I didnt hang around long enough to look inside.... I wasnt actually "invited" onto the lot.

Hey Jason... not yet.. Other life priorities keep coming up. I am still on the sidelines hoping to get off the bench one day.. Maybe after I find a job (layed off last year) or maybe after my kids finish college. I don't know. Tim actually PM'd me this week about one. By the way, I was...

More pics.... our hero Tim is the guy on the tractor

Awesome post.... all I need now is an MV ! :oops: :P

It is an International... they make a civilian version as well called the MXT. They also have the CXT and the RXT models. Hope this link works: http://69.20.127.42/StaticFiles/internationalTrucks/Documents/Truck%20Detail/IMV_040%20MXT_HeroCard_v4.pdf

RE: Re: RE: DT 466 International motor ? I have had several trucks with the DT motors, currently we have three in service. Last year, we put one in the shop that had 375K for an inframe (rebuild) and its good as new. Heads up that the DT466E is the later and electronics version. The DT466...
