Screaming Ford Winches The New Ones In, Lol

King of Obsolete ยท 2008-03-30 13:45

my buddy barry bought a 1998 "red" mack and of course on the first trip it broke down. the back injector bolts broke off and the injector lifted up and pumped a lot of fuel out. we headed out in the SCREAMING FORD and winched the mack out from under the trailer then winched it on the trailer. the "wicked winch" enjoyed a little work out. so what other problems do we have other then the injector bolts broken. did the fuel wash the cylinder down????? thansk KoO Published Author

    Something's not right, winching out a "Snow Cat"?

    it is not a snowcat, it is a ski-dozer by bombardier which means it is made for the ski slopes. they are brought up here from the south and die quickly on the rocks and bush u here. i tell people it says ski-dozer on the grill not bush-dozer, not swamp-dozer. they are a good machine in the south but please don't bring them up here to get wrecked. this one will be heading back south. thansk KoO Published Author
