MACKTRUCKS4

No moose, but they raised elk for years. When Joe was alive, Marylou said they counted to 100 and stopped counting. Now only 4 left. Don't know the location of Burke.

Joe LaRock passed away a few years ago and his wife just passed about 6 months age. His daughter Marylou runs the business now, no longer married to Burke. I'm very good friends with her, was just there yesterday, I stop just to say hi and leave about 3 or 4 hours later. I live only about 3 miles from valley seeding.

Macktrucks4,where about are u in Sugarloaf,PA i'm here in PHilly.I know the fellow and his wife that run Valley Seeding.We used to use them as a sub contractor for all of our seeding work on the interstates we did.I remember the fellow that owned it,Joe LaRock he was a great guy.Talking about Horner Mack they were one of the dealers we used over the years,never had a problem with them.

On page 3 of the brochure, is that a camera in the front bumper? where do you put your foot to open the hood? or aren't you suppose to open the hood?

This truck was built and shipped to Horner Mack, Vineland, NJ. date delivered 12-6-61. Anyone remember this dealer?

Also aluminum was; brakes, aluminum disc wheels with aluminum hubs, front bumper, front and rear water manifold, inlet and outlet water fittings, valve covers, engine front support, engine rear brackets, rear axle brake chamber brackets, spiders and shoes, rear spring end housing caps, and also all the things Superdog listed. It lists all are standard specs. With the wheels, hood, and fuel tanks as the only "aluminum options" for this model. Found all the listings in the paper work I got from the Mack Museum. I'm thinking with this truck being built with heavy rears, triple frame, and big tires, all the aluminum components didn't survive the smooth ride of the camel back. The one piece cast crossmember and trunnion bracket are listed as a weight saver (this truck has one of the heaviest trunnion's I've ever seen!) I will go check to see what is left on the truck when the snow melts (if ever)

I'll be damned,musta been built April 1st,cause it sure don't make sense,I don't see any of the L specs.

673 came with or without. Mine looks identical, with twin intake set up. Suppose to be 187 hp instead of 170 like the single intake set up. The turbo was 205 hp.

Looking at the far right, the front end cover of accy drive(right below the missing fuel filter canister), should be stamped 673P across the top.

L-light weight components where possible, S- six wheels (two in front, 4 sets in rear), T-tractor

I thought 673 was a turbo?

that's the most heavy duty LST I've ever seen. I'm betting the title don't match the frame numbers

Well Superdog, that's one bet you would loose on. I said the same thing when I first saw it, but checked frame, door tag and title, all matched as you can see by the pictures. Should have a turbo but I'm thinking motor was changed somewhere over the years, not sure what it is now, thinking 237? Couldn't find any numbers on the front of the motor by the water pump. Any thoughts?

B61LST would be naturally aspirated, B613LST would be turbo-charged.

1961 B613LST Tractor, diesel, 20 speed, triple frame, 55,000 rears, 24.5" rubber, runs and drives except copper thieves got to it and took air lines on back frame, batteries and cables. Lots of surface rust but not all rotted. $4,500.00

Happened to me once, I over torqued the fuel lines and crimped a few of the lines closed and caused rough running and smoke.

Welcome to BMT. My wife's uncle lives in Riverside so I visit that area often. He has a small farm off of Moser Road.

Red Green is the Duct Tape King!

I always like the barn gate on my dump trailer, but since my friend got a high lift gate on his tri-axle, I think the next one I buy will be a high lift. Barn gates tend to be temper-mental at times and with a little age become hard to close. Dump boxes with barn gates should be built from new and not with an add on afterwards. With add-ons the side are not strong enough to stay square. We hauled stumps and concrete slabs with the high lift with no problems.

1", changed my a few years ago from 3/4'. I pull a 25 ton tag now. I have holes cut in it for the lights so that will weaken it so I went with 1" for that reason.

All State paid out dearly for this incident in 2012.

By the way, that's a 2 Million dollar boat, total lose.

What city is that in? It is a small world.

I think a different boat with a different crew will be in AC. They have two crews doing boat shows. I know Bruce and Mary will be in AC for the race in June, which I think is the week after Macungie. I am going to try to make it to the race in June.

I think it's expensive because of the royalty's they pay the Gecko!!!!!

Would this be the time?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9XDcQNJe-A

Is THIS the picture you wanted??????

She is in there somewhere.

I was also looking at the jones hoods and everyone I talked to that had them said that there was no issues with the fit. I think the II's go for around $1,800.00. They only offer the II.

What shape is the hood in and would you be interested in selling it?
