looks like a superliner in the 1st picture

LTL Ford w/ Cat power.

I haven't seen a 20" spoke for the FA 600 axle, but have seen floats on a B815.

FW

H series, 2 valve head, probably trying to get more air in the engine.

FW

I would say White, they made a planetary drive axle.

Customized Ford N model was to the right of the B rack body.

Here is a picture of my first Mack,# 1 January 1973. I put a dump body on it and used it up until 1986 and then sold it. It was sold locally four more times, and the present owner removed the body and returned it to a tractor.

I have been with Macks for 40+ years.

Great information, thanks for sharing.

Restriction in the air cleaner element.

The RS/RL cab is a few inches higher than the R, and the RW is higher than the RS/RL, with the western hood I would keep it stock height.

FW

Very easy and simple conversion same spread on the rails.

FW

Check to see if the stops on the rim aren't wedged in the spoke. Striking the rim and the spoke isn't good.

I have an article on the development of the Brockway's Superliner, which I can not locate at this time. It has to do with Brockway getting into the O/O market, with its engineering and design concepts , pictures and renderings of many styles of Brockway's Superliner and what Mack did with them. I will find it someday.

Alcoa developed the aluminum wheel 1948, celebrating 60 years in 2008 they produced about 200 ,5 hole, stud pilot, 24.5 wheels.

Oh i was pretty sure it was a DD because it had 3in exhaust and a green oil pan and the guy standing next to me also said it was a DD and he has 35yrs of working on Macks, Detroits and Cummins.

It is a 318.

Thanks Guys! Soon after I sent the post, my brain re-engaged and I figured the LF was and L model firetruck.

Was the Hercules 935 actually the Hall-Scott engine after Hercules purchased H-S?

The Hercules HXE-935 is a different (valve in block), than the Hall Scott 935 (valve in head) engine.

The Hall Scott engines, The 400 series, model 450 - 5 x 6 - 707 cd

470 - 5.5 x 6 - 855 cd

480 5.75 x 6- 935 cd

400 5.75 x 7-1090 cd

440 " " " low mount fan and water pump, different oil filtering , water proof ignition, military applications.

When Hercules took over Hall Scott they were numbered , 470 = Model 855

480 = Model 935, 6156

400 = Model 1091, 6182, 1091 OS

The truck for sale has a HS 480 engine , and have been told it was built as a wrecker/recovery vehicle, and not a modified apparatus. I know someone that looked at it a few years ago. The truck was in a grass fire.

Norman W Fritz Trucking,,,Has been hauling for Milton trans for decades his color scheme has caught my eye since he had the MH's.

All Mack fleet mostly visions,,,,The first time I saw his Rawhide was on the gas wells about 2 years ago pulling water bottle and I do

believe he went to Ohio to work the oil patch but that died out in January

Is that Norman Fritz who owned a sharp LT with a similar paint scheme, one of my favorite photos.

Great pictures.

The egg shaped wheels the way they are timed front to back and side to side it will roll smooth. I believe it is military prototype amphibious vehicle and the egg shaped wheels propel it in water.
