  5. do any of you guys have any pics of the macks that worked on the big dig site? This rig worked on one phase from the start to near the end. Most were O/O's working though brokers and many were WBE's. This is a RS 700,3406 A series, 13sp., Mack 44's, 60" spacing Hendrickson spring. Good specs at that time, only thing Mack is the cab and axles. I know the owner and was always the first in line, be at pit 4AM for a 6AM start. Picture late 80's at my pit loading impervious clay for a landfill job. He worked many years with the R model, at the end he moved to a new KW with Cat power. I can get more pictures but might take awhile. FW
  6. B 81's from central MA., mid to late 80's Hardwick MA Upton MA Worcester MA West Warren MA
  7. I have heard this a long time ago, B 60 series trucks, 2 axle gasoline power B 60 after 1959 all gas 2 & 3 axles were B60's, all diesels 2 & 3 axles were B61's before 1959 2 axle diesel power B 61 3 axle gasoline power B 62 3 axle diesel power B 63 I have two B 63 parts trucks consecutive serial numbers. and knew of a B62 locally. FW
  8. This the Mack dealership, Belmont St. Rt 9, Worcester MA. 1933 - 1955. Their LJ probably started working there. If you look close at the gray squares a top of the window columns you can see the letters M A C K . Photo taken 2011. A little piece of MACK history, FW
  9. The Ford is coming upon a buried car. FW
  10. The bigger bore, combustion to close to the water holes. Mack gave you the aluminum plugs for the close water holes and new gaskets worked. FW
  11. For clean up they took anything with a dump body, 10 wheelers worked all night for 2 months. Local sand and gravel co. came to me for any 673 engines or parts to get trucks running from the their parts trucks and all the pit trucks were there. No registrations nothing. FW
  12. Another one I have, all fiberglass. Diamond Reo, X aircraft fueler, U 200 rear FW
  13. This is the LJ the Kesseli & Morse Co. used to deliver their masonry supplies. Went to a local concrete form contractor to haul form panels, then a farm had and I don't think they used it, I got it about 1999. long double frame, 707,and 24" tires.
  14. These pictures were take 1983 , Me and my stepson. Still have the machine, D7 -3T series. At a time when you could burn. One of the few machines with a bench seat.
  15. I didn't know Mack made a cabover until I bought this one in 1967, and rebuilt it in 1980. More interesting cabover information, This is from the Diamontd T sales sheet; 1955 New release in the cabover model 921C, double wall aluminum cab, insulated fiberglass roof, and the first ones used L model Mack doors. Don't know if it is true or not but a Mack engineer left Mack to develop the Diamont T cabover. Later production the top of the door was squared off. Might be similar to the G model Mack and KW sitituation.
  16. I think the best factory paint scheme, even better with a bunk. Can't change perfect, just my .02 FW
  17. The one on the right is a truck and 3 full trailers and probally used on private roads for the most part. The one one the left appears to have a large capacity traction sanders. FW
  18. Taken in the early 80's , I tried to buy this truck, but waste company donated it to a local B 61, B 67? not sure of power , I think inline. vocational school mechanics class, I am told it has been restored and may still be around. Worcester MA 1980's B615 SX, long wheelbase and the company built the roll-off hoist in the 60's and claim to be the first one in Massachusetts. FW
  19. Or you can do it this way, 1.00 divide .67 = 149.2 149.2 divide .84 = 177.6 1.00 divide 177.6 =.563 FW
  20. Talked with Mr. Dorr today he still has the truck , he said it is a 357, cummins 250, R700 mack hood and cab, put it togther along time ago. I will go there to check it out. FW
  21. The truck has a Brockway cab but the cowl is R Mack, front axle, rockwell rears, tanks, battery boxes, and wheelbase are typical of Brockway. Definitely more Brockway than Mack, will do more investigating. FW
  22. This picture is at the Rutland VT truck show about 20 years ago. Not very clear picture on here but truck appears to be all Brockway except hood and fenders. The chassis would have to be a 360/760 if a conversion. Need to find more about this truck. FW
  23. 8 brand new RW's at Worcester Mack Sales, 1986 My RW , former Cappello Trucking #17. 2002 1982 RWS786LST1055, 207k miles, built 10/14/81 Macungie PA, FW
