The seller spelled McCormick wrong..... 15-30 is the horsepower ratings (draw bar and belt pulley respectively). Not much else I can tell you without getting my books out.....lol Damn I love old iron:)

Same here, but apparently it could have been worse. Never would I expect to find my truck "sans-doors".....

Could have been much worse. I'll net next time the driver will do as he's told. Lol

I just need someone to reply so I can check my email change worked. Thanks

How much more do you need? I'm stuck at 105kmh, and I get by.......

Looks like fun......

My avatar is my son (or dog) Koda, a 4 year old siberian husky. we also have 3 cats (wife's pets) that I don't care for enough for pics. And upstairs (the in-laws house) theres a 3 year old golden retriever named tassi and 2 more friggin cats......

i was seven when dad took me and my brother to the quarry the first time....big dirty old cat loaders and haul trucks were big tonkas in a big sand box.....

Our old 88 RD with an e6 350 econodyne would wreck my 2011 GU mp7-405m in a tug of war.

Mmmmmm.....wings.....*drool*

I try to catch first or low (or something) before I stop to save my clutch brake....so far it's working.....30000kms and he mechanics haven't had to adjust it yet.....

X3

As of what model year MackLegacy

The guard dog is a neat feature. It does a whole pile of self checks when the key is first turned. Oil and coolant level, air or fuel filter restrictions. It seems to be a central "idiot" light. Just make sure you let it do its thing before start up, or it will harass you. I once started my gu813 on a slope, and it would not leave me alone, thinking that the oil level was low.....I knew it wasn't, but I ended up shutting down after about 10km and restarting on flat ground so it would retest. Also, after a timed shut down, when I restart, it tells me once to check fuel filter restrictions...... The "co-pilot" feature is nice, if equipped. Keeps logs on time, distance, fuel consumption, etc. I personally like the various heads up gauges. I've been switching between throttle position and engine load, to help my milage. So far I've gone from 44l/100km to 40l/100km..... A few guys around here use on board scales. They are generally load cells mounted either on the body (dump box, roll off frame),.or in the case of some of the new Ontario SPIF (safe,productive, infrastructure friendly) vehicles, they are in the suspension to automatically deploy self steering lift axles. The farmer I used to work for just bought a 2013 gu813, and the lift is completely automatic. The computer figures out how much weight is where, then drops and pressurises the lift. It will only lift when reverse is selected, or the pto is engaged (can't pick up a bin with a self steering down), or you dump the load. We have a 2013 gu813 on order, and it will likely have this system. When we get it, ill dig into it a bit more NEWAY is a vendor air ride suspension. We don't have any air ride, so I can't help you there, but someone can, I'm sure. Oh yeah, what motor/tranny/drives are in these? Sorry for the long post, and some one please correct me if I got something wrong

Ah yes, the deep end....tread lightly

quick and dirty......perfect

There's a few good ones around here....but I think I'm 21 hours to far north for ya to come have a peek

I'm still fairly new to mack, and have never heard of this setup. Do you have any pictures of it. Seems interesting, and I can't find anything online, as I think my googles broken lol

The last one is fine, just fill her with oil, and be on your way...

Mack dealer? Salvage yard? Ebay? Buy/sell forum on this Site. Many options, get looking.

Hooray, the pizza is here, now we eat.... The thread about nothing rules!!!!!! Btw,wth phildirt. Maybe he is done with bmt and wanted something for us all to remember him by.....

I can't speak to the emission program problems, but a buddy of mine with an EPA 07 mp7 is on his 6th dpf now...... Sounds like a neat idea, I've always like the looks of cabover hiway tractors.....stupid emissions shit has to try and screw it all up.

Yep, mack can change it to whatever you want. when I shoot gravel, I leave it running, as I need to keep shaking pea stone to the back. I set the hand throttle at about 1000rpm, it will hold for at least 90 mins, then return to normal idle, but it has never shut down on me yet......
