that is one fine looking unit. enough chrome to look good yet not a circus wagon. the black radiator  sets the picture. unusual to see white hood (and air cleaner ) which doesn't follow up to cab roof. a look all it's own. fender guides = with mascot bulldogs showing the way AND the correct spot mirrors complete the package 

Still need to put Turn signal's  & Strapping for hood .......Trying to Finish the R-Model ......But we been real Busy......Making $$$$$$$$ to pay for Hobby ?

back in the good days when Mack roamed the land !! those dump body ribs were the "talk of the town" after being seen  motivating up/down the highway around here. guess that's why they made the Mack calendar and O&G didn't. not adding O&G to the calendar cost Mack plenty. soon O&G became "another brand "fleet.

I test drove a O & G quad axle only 285 hp with 2060 tran's and it was a experience why somebody would build it ......

So it it electric..? looks like a big genset underneat it. Check out Sennebogen's website.  Family owned business.

There was a big one working at the golf course near me this  summer.  Wheeled unit like a 4 wheel rubber tired excavator  but I'll bet boom and dipper stick totaled 50 feet or more .  looked like it had a mulching head on it so  this sucker could reach up like 50+ feet and chew a tree top down.

They have to run special power for the unit from the street....
