Definitely looks like a good one to save! I hope things go well getting it back together and on the road.

Yeah, and when the mower hits it the pieces could come out and hurt someone. Anybody who would leave a post like that should be smacked.

The 6BT Cummins is an excellent motor.

What is the 34 years you're talking about? -
A couple of very sharp looking trucks on the ATHS website. There's also a '53 Sterling chain drive listed. https://aths.org/advertising-with-aths/AdBuilder/List

1991 Mack Superliner

The tractor is very nice, and that dump looks great! -
The ad is gone, so it's probably sold. However, on the same site there's an MH with a 3406 in it...looks pretty good. https://nmi.craigslist.org/hvo/d/1987-mack-semi-tractor/6513956173.html

In '81 or '82 we had a customer who bought a new Blue Bird Wanderlodge RV with a 210 hp 3208. A few months later, Cat released the turbo (250 hp) 3208 and when said customer heard about that, he brought the RV to us and had us swap the motor so he'd have the 250 hp. He was a lot happier with the power. You're right though, if you put it in a big truck it would be a dog.

If you ever run across a 12-71 that you don't want in your garage, I'll take it.

With a V8! The pictures look pretty decent. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-Mack-R700/282936832750?hash=item41e05972ee:g:kjYAAOSw0Pxa2nVx&vxp=mtr

That is a sharp looking truck! I can't help you but hopefully someone else on the site can.

Corrupting My Son
h67st replied to h67st's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
The cab is completely gone on that one, there are almost as many holes as intact sheet metal. I'm robbing parts off of it to restore my tandem. -
When I graduated from diesel school in Miami FL in 1981, I started in the truck shop at Kelly Tractor (Cat dealer). To this day I am impressed with how much training Cat invested in their mechanics. I was proud to be a part of their organization and after I left the trucking industry, I was sad to hear Cat got out of it. We worked on a lot of 3406 and 3208 motors, very rarely got a 3408 in the shop.

I had my son help me move one of the trucks around...he got a good whiff of the diesel smoke from the tractor and he's almost hooked! Crazy thing about this old Ralph Smith truck...it has an air start, it's been parked behind my barn untouched for 12 years. I grabbed the air start lever and it had 10 or 15 psi of air in the tank!!

You got that right...I cut 4 inches of soil off, put down #2 first, then some #4 and #57 and it still sinks every couple years.
-
Oh, snap!!
-
Is that a 335?
-
The counterweight on that big machine looks like it weighs a couple pounds.

I didn't realize the Maxidyne was 673...I thought they were 675.

I bought another B Mack

What's a fish belly frame? -
Was the velvet ride the one with a big block o' rubber that was the only thing between you and the highway?

I hope that turbo elbow hasn't been open like that---you don't want any debris or water getting into the turbo. -
Cool! I like that straightedge that bolts down to the workbench--that looks handy.
-
10k is pretty high, but those L cab trucks are much in demand. If it doesn't have much rust, he may be able to get that for it.

Clint Eastwood movies wouldn't be the same without that great music.
