Good thinking - you need the future generation and this is an excellent way to get them interested in classic cars, not just 2001 Citroen Saxo VTi or whatever:lol:, Best, T

בקשר לאויר, אכן מאוד ייתכן כפי שרוני הזכיר שזו בעייה הנובעת מחוסר ניקוז. בנוסף לכך גם סביר להניח שהשסתום הנ"ל מלא בטינופת שאינה מאפשרת מעבר חופשי של אויר. באופן כללי רטיבות בצנרת האויר היא מתכון בטוח לצרות - הייתי במקומך מבצע ניקוז ידני (יש מתחת למיכל שסתום לניקוז. זהירות: הוא בטוח לא נפתח שנים רבות - רסס ב WD40 או כדומה יום לפני שאתה מנסה לפתוה אותו. נקה עם מברשת לפני הריסוס לסילוק לכלוך. היות ואין אמונה בדברים מוזנחים וישנים, עדיף לנסות לפתוח ללא לחץ במיכל (אם הוא מתפרק לך בין הידיים לפחות לא יוכל לעוף ולפגוע בחלקי גוף וכיו"ב)... אם השסתום נפתח ונסגר בקלות, התנע וראה מה קורה - מגיע אויר או לא? לאחר גמר הניקוז סגור ביד לא ברצח - ההברגה עדינה!). ה שרשור הבא גם יועיל: http://forums.aths.org/InstantForum414/Topic71043-14-1.aspx המיכל נראה לי למשאבת עזר הדראולית (PTO) אולי למה שהיה מורכב על המשאית מקודם. עקוב אחר הצנרת וראה לאן היא מתחברת. אם כן, המידה ואין לך כוונה להרכיב הייבר, תוכל לפרק ולמכור את כל המכלול. השעונים לא אומרים הרבה בטמפרטורות סרק אך נראה שיש לך לחץ שמן בריא. אנא זכור כי כל המידות הן "אמריקאיות" - פרנהייט וליברות לאינץ ריבועי (PSI). בהצלחה, T see also this (Fuller): http://forums.aths.org/InstantForum414/Topic66282-14-1.aspx? http://forums.aths.org/InstantForum414/Topic63885-14-1.aspx? Do you have a workshop manual with all the diagrammes (air, electric, etc.) for the Ford - you may want to start a thread on the ATHS, maybe someone has one for sale - it would make your life a lot easier - can help with the English if you want - PM me

:roll:No, no no Much betterer... and unfortunately just as expensive nowadays, T

That looks like a Diamond T 969 tow truck, quite likely ex-Egged...T

That's a 1953 GMC 350. There used to be quite a few in Israel - I don't think even one is left on the road. Engine is staright six benzin. Can be registered as rechev asfanut (less than 12T GVW)...T

Thanks Benny - same here. You're right about the 2CV - same ownership for at least 25 years. Once you change ownership and/or return the plate,you get new standard-size European plates and lose the old one... Best, T

Is this truck in Israel? T

Dov, Mammoth Major Mk III . Pictures from here: http://aec.fotopic.net/p36540288.html and here: http://aec.fotopic.net/p40324070.html and the main page is http://aec.fotopic.net/c1210956.html I'm sure the'll love to have the pic of the Yogev one... All the best, T

Don't know about the US ones, the European non-turbo 8V 2.3 fives had btween 133 to 136 hp (see also Reuven's post above). What's it like to drive would depend if it has softer US suspension settings and reduced hp, in which case it would be worse (it may be slightly heavier because of the bumpers). Easy to rectify by changing to Euro specs. T

AEC for sure, looks like the ones the Australians had - some sort of a "colonial" type, but how did it get to Israel? I don't think AEC did regularly export to Israel. Could be ex-Egyptian... T

Falcon - out with the 6 and done as a replica of an Australian GTHO - there will not be another like this in Israel. Oldsmobiles like yours are not that rare... T

I'm 10 minutes away, maybe I'll come and say shalom... You know Tuesday is a holiday here - the TU would be closed I assume? T

Safe trip - TU again? T

Genadi, thanks for the pics -it's nice to see both driver and truck still working after all these years and I hope this will stay like this for a long time! T

Thanks - I'm pretty sure there were some of these but you probably think about the Tronner, which had the same cab as the DAF 95. I think they stopped importing them when IVECO took over Pegaso. Any pics of the Hamenia trucks? By the way, your thread on the ATHS had some responses... All the best, T

שלום לכולם, יש לי שאלה בקשר למשאיות פגסו הספרדיות - האם יש עדיין מאלו שעובדות או בכלל? זכור לי שהגיעו מספר יחידות לארץ (אין לי מושג מי היה הסוכן) בשנות השמונים. לצורך הענין תמונה מהאתר הזה (למי ששואל, המשאית מימין הינה פגסו מהדור הקודם, שלא יובא לארץ):http://www.pegasoesmicamion.com/PEGASO%20ENLACE%20NUEVO.htm בתודה מראש ובברכה, T

http://www.flickr.com/groups/886837@N20/ By the way, the big Dodges the Electric Company had were not D-Series but C-Series, like this. The Air Force had a few also as aircraft refuellers but they used them as target practice for attack helicopters, best regards, T

and one SD455 many, many years ago if I'm not mistaken

That's Dov Reemon and he's 80, not 70, and I'm pretty sure he has normal truck insurance, even though nowadays he only works in Ashdod - I think what Dov (Kerdo) and Genadi are looking for is something which does not exist in Israel at the moment (but hopefully they will find an OK insurace agent who will be prepared to help). T

Good point and... Possibly an Early Hemi under that hood. You seem to know most of the serious US cars baaretz - are there any Chrysler 300 in Israel? T

It's a miricle - like the time tunnel - suddendly it's 1975 again (I wish). by the way, anyone who has ever been to Central and South America must have seen these old Dodges at work still - just one example Much more here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/dodgeheavytrucks/pool/ T

That's a T815, the spares are avaialable in the Czech Republic for reasonable money and the engine is not electronic so at least most of the work is do-able by normal human beings... Who knows? My uncle managed to use them for years but he bought one or two extras for spares, T PS: Last one he had was like this 148 - pic from the net

and a few DAFs From an excellent Dutch site for those who like dump trucks http://members.home.nl/sluik/klassiekers.htm T
