    Well, I recall spending a blurry evening in Colorado, drinking with a Fosters-toting member of the Ozzie Air Force. Perhaps I should look him up (LMAO)...

    Ozzie's in a bar are like Bigfoot. They always look blurry.

    As forestland owners, my wife and I often discuss the squatch reports I've been hearing since I was about 8 years old...and, yes, blurry photo evidence is mandatory. Good one, @Lepton1 ! (LoL)

    On aside note what you guys get here as fosters. Taste nothing like what they sell at home. No self respecting Australian will drink that crap they serve in aus. But I tried it here. Not even close. It's actually drinkable lol

    Well, the Aussie fella I mentioned earlier would certainly agree, @LoudOne , because he drank that Colorado Fosters like he was never going to see it again!

    Did you ever get into a tractor?

    Im from western mass originally.. Im curious if youre hull, bannish, lashway or cowls lumber. Feel free not to answer if you dont want to.

    To keep a truck running out there, youre gonna want to know about fleetpride and napa HD in agawam, betterbilt transmission (trevor is a great guy) on rocus street in springfield, hale trailer in springfield, RCS diesel service in ludlow, RH scales and petes tire barn in springfield (off cottage st) and advantage tire on rt 20 in palmer, theyre by far the cheapest. camerota truck parts on moody road in enfield CT. Tri-state kenworth is in enfield also. Theres a sizeable truck driveline shop on RT13 in lunenburg mass though i have never done business with or worked for them, cant recall the name offhand. One word of caution, the driveshaft guy at fleetpride is a tweaker always trying to arrange a scam for payment out in the parking lot.. Maybe different guy by now.. I think it was joey or johnny, something like that. Camerota has a top notch driveline shop.

    Best of luck bud

    No, sir, we haven't. We are, however, presently looking very seriously at a '91 KW T600 with a 3406B. It doesn't have all the characteristics discussed in this thread, but It's very clean, the price is right...and, most importantly, it's mechanical.

    Although I will certainly defer to the experts, it does start right up, is smoke free and sounds like a very well-maintained CAT should...or at least like the well-maintained CAT heavy equipment I've spent many a year around.

    The serial number on the block is 3ZJ01789, so if any of the many friends I've made on this thread would care to comment, I'd, as ever, be most grateful for your time.
