anyone know what gear oil goes in a 2stick 12speed? want to drain and refill. thanks

Fifth Wheel, your Unit #13, the 1985 RD688SX is absolutely gorgeous! I love your B61SX tandem dump as well. A couple of definite favorites!

Rob, someone else notched the fender when they installed the big air filter and the heavy rear torque arm is a factory Mack issue on the B61X

Our 1964 B61X was built at the Mahwah N.J. MACK plant in 1963/1964 but to the best of our knowledge, it spent most of and the later part of its functional life in Rhode Island as a Heil-bodied dump which is where we bought it in 1999 with the dump body and everything associated with the dump body having been previously removed and sold. Hence the Rhode Island connection. Please feel free to fill this topic with pictures of the many fine MACK trucks from the great state of Rhode Island. Take notice of the updated air filter with it's engine entry flow thru' the hood and the(hard to see in the picture)notch in the fender. http://www.flickr.com/photos/119827954@N04/13027278573/

Yes Matt, we met soon after you pulled in. You were telling us about the round-a-bout way you had to come to get there. It was great to see your Superliner in person.

Yes we did meet at Gerharts, and your grandfather, while you were ALL OVER that green V8 U-model! It was great wasn't it?

Awesome, a strobe type replacement for the original Roto-ray - cool!

Nice piece, perfect length, I like!

This is certainly sad news. I have spent countless hours on Mr. Bedell's flickr page enjoying all of his pictures and captivating descriptions. This pares with the news that I recently heard that avid picture taker: JOE WANCHURA has also recently passed away. Truly great losses to our hobby.

wellsaid!

juice brakes in the rear but air in the front in think - had pots in the front

nice choice - pretty truck! cant wait to see more pics

saw this truck in person at the ATHS show at Automatic Switch in Florham Park in June; is absolutely more gorgeous up close!
