Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Your not going to forget this!!

 

That is a good size valve perhaps a very long steam table for a buffet?

 

The 'T' handle makes me think it's below the floor/underground.

 

Ford Courier made by Mazda.

First Gen 72-76



Second gen 76-83, replaced by the Ranger.



I rented one of these about 1985

 

Thank You I figured you would know.

I just no longer could remember just what brand.

 

My office door does say Past Tech after all, I don't do very well with the modern stuff though.

 

Trust me, having enough bills isn't a problem... Or even checks for that matter -- deposits on the other hand are the sticking point...

 

you and me both !

My Tach and Dwell Meter and Timing light have not been used for some time.

 

I used mine last year when I tuned up the 66 wagon, had to find them first.

 

Our loaders keep tagging the edge of this door when removing bundles from the mill. Today they hit it again and really pulled it off the track/bent things up. Boss told me to "just set something under it so it doesn't fall" ehhhh nope. I have zero experience with large overhead doors, but I do know that they can come down with a deadly amount of force. Also worth noting that the cables were unspooled and just dangling, so the only thing holding this door up was friction.

Boss looked at it closer and decided we were done screwing around with it, took one of our loaders and ripped it down with the forks. Solves our issue until winter time...

 

Overhead doors were one thing I called a service for, fortunately there was a good company local for me.
They know how to set them up and where to get the proper parts -- and you don't get your teeth knocked out winding up the spring is a plus too.

 

Door to small?? Loader to Big?

First Day loader operator? I seemed to get more then my fair Share over the years.

 

I always thought those outside, below the bed-rail hooks were a genius design idea... I wish trucks still had those!

 

Door too small for a 16 ft wide x 5 ft tall bundle. They constantly pick it up higher than needed and back up, catching either the headgear of the loader, or the top edge of the bundle on the door. Also they'll try and be slick and not open the door all the way to get in and out faster.

 

We do call a local door company for it usually, but this would be the fifth time in five months for this one door. Boss had enough of it

 

Always makes me think of the Stripes movie.

yep

That was a Mitsubishi marketed as a Ram 50 IIRC.

yep

Then there was Chevy entry in the segment, Isuzu made Chevy Luv.

 

The EM-50!

Loved that movie. Always made me wish I'd gone to US Army basic training instead of RCN Basic Training!

 

Yeah, but one more and you get a 'Frequent Customer' discount surcharge.

 

My dad had one when I was growing up, I remember running fire calls with him in it doing 65 wound tight in 4th gear cause that's all it had and not wearing a seat belt. His was baby blue. When I turned 16 my truck stayed broke down a lot and I drove his to school. No wonder I didn't get married until I was 35



My brothers 1st truck was the exact same but 4wd.





Neither one looked as good as these

 

I dont think i have pics but we had a courier for a short time. I remember it having lots of problems
