Phase 1

Yes.

Nice truck too.

Use the camera to take pictures of things eh? Guess I never really thought about that.

Rob

Yeah.......... that seems like a good thing to do with a camera.

No, it was, if I remember correctly, a Rock County Wisconsin plow truck

How and why did it get way down to Tennessee?

This one could be yours.

I had heard good things about her also,Mark.That was a different time,for sure.I'm sure there are a few (and I do mean a few) operations that are still a "family" type organization.But they are rapidly disappearing,too.I saw that G-model color pic at the Heartland Chapter-ATHS Christmas Party/Dinner at Iowa 80 last Sunday.We went there after our detour to the Harbison kennel! One of the members had a photo album that was loaned to him from a gal that was a waitress at a truck stop in northwest Illinois years ago.What a blast from the past.She must have taken a picture of every guy and his truck that stopped there.Better yet,she had written every guys name down on each pictures border! We had a great time talking with the old-timers and even showing a few that there was such a thing as a N model Mack (they all thought a certain livestock hauler was a Ford C!) Had a nice catered in dinner with 3 generations of the Moon family hosting/serving us!

Those pictures would be good for Double Clutch or Wheels Of Time articles. Bob Ward showed truck pictures from when he worked in a truck stop in Iowa in some issues of Wheels Of Time some years back - often telling about the truck or its driver. They were very interesting.

In old truck pictures from the west coast, you see west coast type trucks. The other place that west coast style trucks are seen is in the Florida produce haulers pictures.

Please share the history.

Why not change the rotation design of the prop? or does it relate to engine rotation? Or was it designed my a person from Jolly Ole England?

That was what I wondered when I first heard the explanation - why not change the rotation of the prop which would be accomplished by changing the rotation of the engine. In the early years it did not matter, early cars and trucks had both right and left hand drive. Also, motor makers did not build boats and boat builders did not make motors. So the boat builders had to take what they got. And it doesn't much matter in the first place because boats are not driven down the highway so it really makes no difference which side the driver sits on.

By the word, Why does the boat have RHD ??

Is it different in Russia Vlad?

I would like to see a pic of the B753, what are the specs?

My buddy has a B75 super light weight, alum. everything. It has the narrow nose like a B61, he went to Montana to get it. It has a Cummins, and a Tri-Plex, I think. He wants to put a 425 CAT and a 15 over in it.

What is this with a narrow nose? A B-71 had a front end like a 60 series, but I have never seen a B-75 like that. Is it factory or something someone put together?

Do a forum search for Clariben.

Another thing from what I have seen, the Clariben hood was often used on a truck that had a front end crash. A quick and easy way to repair it rather than pounding out and/or replacing all the sheet metal parts. Probably often cheaper too.

In a boat, the rotation of the propeller causes the right side of the boat to raise and lowers the left. So if the operator sits on the left, it makes the lean angle worse. Sitting on the high side helps to balance the boat out.

If you take a large girl along however, that shoots that idea.

Looks like you are not alone. See complaint and customer reviews and file a report here Mackdaddy.

I think Gray Marine (later became GM Detroit) an Fairbanks-Morse are the only US companys with 2 cy.

BULLHUSK

Gray Marine used Detroit's for their marine conversions, but I don't think there was any other connection. Winton was the engine company that GM bought out that became the EMD locomotive diesel and I assume it was their experience with those that led them to design a two stroke truck diesel.

The larger two stroke Detroit Diesels are still being made although I think it is done overseas now.

Sshhhh! Don't let East Coast Diesel see it!

If you want to stay under the regular license limit without needing a CDL, it is the trucks maximum gross weight rating that determines that, not the weight of the truck. If the GVWR is over 26,000 you need a CDL. But as I understand it, some states allow you to run any hobby truck without a CDL. It may need historical or collector plates?

All from the same eBay seller. The price is for each on the top two, but there are more available.

Some information on N fire trucks:

http://www.centralpafire.com/forum/showthread.php?31360-Mack-N-Series

It appears that Mack built five N model fire trucks, but other fire apparatus builders put their bodies on N models too.

I wonder why someone would buy a broken clock.

It will be right twice a day.

Probably the only time you could see that many G models at once.

That's what I thought.

I'd like to enlarge that picture and frame it.

How close can that be dated? The frames are painted the same color as the rest of the truck and that changed in 1960? I don't recall seeing the mufflers mounted that high on G models. Was that only done for a period of time?

PZ 1, I've owned the truck for several years and it's in good mechanical condition. Fred Crismon, "Mr. International", and I had several conversations about the V-12's and I've come to the conclusion that they were a myth for several reasons. I'm hoping to get started working on it next spring as soon as I get my current project done. Here's what I'm working on now. I hope to get it blasted next week and get some paint on it.

Oh- well that explains your posting of it. I apparently misinterpreted your statement - " IH didn't build many of them. A lot of people have seen pictures of them but to my knowledge, no one has seen one in person recently.

Sometime you should write about what you have learned about them.

Your current project looks good. You would get a lot of stares driving it just the way it is. Looking at it leads me to thinking grey and black would be good on it.

How about this one? Not many around.

I believe the pictures are relatively recent and someone has purchased that truck. There is some information on the ATHS site. I had thought that they all had Detroit V12's, but it appears some may have had 335's.

The three holes show that it is a heavy duty model, I think that started with the F700. The F600 did not have running boards. The number of wheel studs may also give a clue to the size. Most of the cab parts should be the same for all the F series.

I don't recall where it came from either, but here is one.

it is, I would have thought it would have knocked that tree plum outa the ground!

Didn't realize it was a plum tree.
