Brocky

Is that one of the winch propelled fold up trailers like Swishy from Australia has?? I think (???) it is the first one like that I have seen up here???

Both are beautiful trucks.. In the Diamond T numbering system from 600 to 900 the higher the series number the heavier duty the truck was.. I am not that knowledgeable on IH's numbers, but I would say they are about equal in working strength???? Going by the background in your pictures I am assuming you will only be using them, basically locally, in planting and harvest seasons. Personally if both trucks are roughly equal mechanically I would keep BOTH!!! and still keep my eye open for another Comp-fo-vision cab? Be careful though!! They are not totally interchangeable!! DT bought the raw stampings from IH, BUT assembled them in the DT Factory and there are some differences, especially in the cab mount area..

I had heard that T-Line was mostly ex Osterlund DR Giant people and had a lot of experience with them. You are right that today it is very hard to break into the market, even with a special specked assembled truck, as the regular manufactures make so many options available they cover the market.

You want Truckin' songs?????? Go to You Tube and search "Slim Dusty" !!!! Pushing Time, Married to my Bulldog Mack, Trucks on the Track, Lights on the Hill, I'm Gonna Take My Dog for a Run, Highway One, and many more.. I have his 4 disc box set of 80 trucking songs.

Simply Amazing!!!!!!!! I wonder if there is any way to find out where these funds went???? If so the recipients should be prosecuted...

If he had done just the steering axle it would have been period correct. But he is bling happy!!! Even his father was upset

Bob, Copy your picture in the album then take the copy to Paint.com then you can crop it there and save it back to the album. That is what I have to do to put them in my newsletter.

Buckskin, That picture was taken at the Western North Carolina chapter show at the WNC Ag Center in Arden NC in the fall of 2014. It is one of the pictures we used when presenting him with his 50 year achievement award. His son has since changed the wheels to aluminum Budds.😟

Here is a picture of Leon Ledford's F-700. It was bought new by Duke's Manoyanse a local Greenville SC manufacturer.

Good News!!! You have been busy!!! I pray the wildfires have not affected your area??? Hope to see you with one of your trucks at the Dark Corner Show..

He had trucks at York last year, BUT I did NOT talk to him personally.. Just the Aussie man who came up to drive the Valueliner east.

Geoff is right!!! Probably it is the Bendix / big solenoid not pushing it all the way engaged. If it has done it much probably the ring gear on the flywheel is damaged also????

Welcome to BMT!!!! The Brockway people are a strong group, with some members in your area. The second weekend of August is the Brockway Weekend, the largest brand specific show in the country with 120 to 150 Brockways attending, with a Cruise In , Friday fundraiser dinner, fireworks, Saturday parade and static display on the Homer Main ST and Village Park, and Sunday Breakfast at the Central New York Living History Center on HWY US 11 between Cortland and Homer. They do not have a website anymore, BUT have a large presence on Facebook. Google the Brockway Truck Preservation Assn and the Central NY Living History Center for more info. The CNY Center has 4 museums: Brockway, Hometown, Tractors of Yesteryear with early 1900's kitchen, and a Fire House.

Vermont was another one.. I got my title that way..

Paul is right.. Send your info to the Mack Museum in Allentown PA with a donation and the will send you a bunch of info...

Harry Our standard voltage for most everything is 110. Stoves, dryers, hot water heaters, and heavier electric motors are 220. I had to get an adapter to plug my 110 phone charger into your 240 when we were on the Down Under Tour.

Our crank phone number was 28Y22.. Line 28 The Y or F indicted the the length of the first ring.. our was 2 shorts and 2 longs.. The fire house was 4 longs and the telephone operator plugged into all the lines and alerted everybody to a fire..

Bob, I was the same.. Grew up in Brooktondale NY about 10 miles southeast of Ithaca. 1 general store buy anything, 2 room school house, volunteer fire station with 2 trucks and 2 churches.. PLUS we still had crank phones until 1964!!!!!!

That is good!!!! He like to side with his Demonocratic buddys...

And on the GW when it was $20, DO NOT try to give them a $100 bill!!!! You got pulled over to the side and had to go in the office and they treated you like you were the worst counterfeiter in the country.... If I rermember right when I was dispatching for Matlack in Norristown PA the GW was $6 and the Tri-Bourgh was $4.50 and we bought books of tickets by mail and issued them per trip.

That is a real great find!!!!!! I remember them fondly!! Some diners also used them to scramble their eggs to make a fluffy omlet.. I do not reconigise the "Ritter" name... Was it an Australian assembly company for General Electric???

The mid 60's is when the child psychologists started saying you were supposed to "Talk" to children, NOT Whup their Butts.. Ever since then the lack of discipline has eroded in both the learning levels and the level of respect for others in the generations which followed!!

Looks like another place to send Musk's Nerd Squad!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday!!! And thank you for help all of us Mack fans by having this website available to us..
