OK, click here to hear my truck!

thank you for the link , this music is like U2 , the best !

From what I saw last evening on the spoke "VALVE STEM ONLY FOR DISCK BRAKE" I was very surprised I will take pics

tonight and post it on here , and make sure that what is written in the cast .

very interesting set-up ,

on the fiesta maybe they are radio antenna ! some cars are radio powered ! at least the pick-up in the video has nos exhaust restriction problems .

my dawg is a 1990 Mack RB688S a friend of mine told me that there was only two location but he could not remember from when to when .

thank you all for the info .

can we hear it ? can we hear it ? love the sound of a Mack V8 .

hard decision but if you feell at the end of the journey and you are exhausted about so many things , my guess is that you make a good desicion , do it before in sinks too much in your head .

I've been informed that on a Mack Spoke wheel there is only 2 locations where you can align the tire valve ,

is that true ? if so are marked in a certain way ?

my understanding is that the engine is been refurb but not removed form the truck.

wow what a nice piece of history , thank you for sharing

they were all there for having fun and good time an then this terrible thing happen , man what a tragedy .

all good stuff to make truck drivers look better !! gee I can't believe that.

hope for them that the saying is true "Cat has nine lives" cause the way they go they will need it , seems to me to make many mistakes , marketing wise and production wise , a company that gives up highway engine and then they come up with a highway truck is a tad bit ackward to me .

Isn't the cab on the right on those old JD's? I wasn't knocking it, I liked ours, I just know I couldn't run it now that I've got used to excavator controls. If you swapped it over I bet it's alright, though. They were some stout old machines.

I understood you were not knocking the cab side I was just writing what I think , and it always make me wonder why the cab side is so important ! no feeling hurting ! lol

looks like a nice truck but the fr... $$ are not there for me .

Tim you had pick-up not a truck , now you have a truck ! lol

less good on fuel economy but at least a lot more space to bring what you need in the field !! lol

odd looking beast , I would have love to try that just for the heck of it .

nice buy Tim , bought that from the JEAL bros ?

Congrats on the certification !

Other than having backwards controls and the cab being on the wrong side, a 690b is a dang good machine. That's what I learned on when I was about 16.

I did change the hoses so the Deer is behaving like a Cat ! lol also why are you saying cab on the wrong side ? there is no wrong side cause either side you always have a blind spot, and still today you still have cranes with with cab on the right hand side ! anyway she digs properly than it is ok with me .

another nice history post , thank you for sharing

what a nice truck , lot of work putted in there , congrats.

Welcome , and for sure help will be there by many very experience and knowledgeble people , maybe your crazy but crazy are needed to make sure we go forward , lol

at least people are still working there at Macungie, either for Mack or Volvo , and I understand the feeling of having this brand of truck going away from what i was in the past .

The blowout damage was bad enough. Getting towed by a KW just adds insult to injury.

could have been worst ! a Vulv......
