leon.

thanks hk.

the topspeed of my r600 is 105 kilometers at 2100 reps.

is it the same with the trd7220 ?

leon.

hi Rob.

thank you.

it`s a nice trailer but it needs a lot of work to pass inspection here in the netherlands.

it needs a lot of welding new peaces in it.

but a few more kilo`s don`t mind.

i wil take some photo`s of it so you can see how it looks now.

a video of a trailer.

it`s almost the same as mine.

mine can`t be made longer but the rest is the same.

leon

nice superliner.

leon.

first i have to fix up the trailer so i can try if the parkingbreak holds thr weight.

it`s a lowboy goosenek trailer.

i want to put a mack on it so that weight comes to it.

so i think the brake will not hold that weight.

leon.

hey Rob.

my truck dosn`t have spring breakes.

the drum break holds the tracter well but i didn`t had a trailer on it yet.

i did buy a trailer that weights about 9000 kilo`s,

so i don`t know if the parking break can hold that weight.

so maybe i have to put sringbrakes on it.

leon.

thank you rob.

the transmision in my r has the parking brake on the aux shaft and the ather one dosn`t.

so i have to take them both appart to change that.

but first i have to look if the spare transmision is good.

i will take the covers of and see if i can find anything odd.

leon. (mack4ever)

hello.

they look almoost the same on the outesite but i don`t know the difference in the numbers.

hello guys.

my r600 has a trd720 transmission.

i have a spare one but that`s a trd7220.

can anyone tell the difference between the transmissions and can i use the trd7220 in my r600?

thanks. leon mack4ever.

hello.

it can take a few days so we heave to wait.

I finaly got my pipes ready

Renault was a good partner that worked......TOGETHER WITH.... Mack.

If it wasnt for them,,,,, Mack would still be running a E6 2-valve 350.

The 4-valve head, the E7 and the E9 (that you love) are all here with major help from Renault.

thank you cl96.

i`m sorry that we don`t have mack or renault engens anymore.

here in europe we have the same vulva crap as you in the states.

the main engene is`t so bad but all the electronic stuf around it is.

but we have to get used to it.

renault had its owne v8 but stopped whit it when the got together whit mack and then used their e9 in their big trucks.

a little later thy only used mack engines in their big magnums.

now they have no own engens.

in the big range they have the vulva and in the smaller range they have deuts (a german engene.)

volvo trucks and volvo cars are two different companies. just like renault trucks and renault cars don`t have the same owner.

so mack,renault and volvo aren`t chinees.

hello roadusercharges i first could not find the web site but it must be www.trademe.co.nz and i think the auction for the f is over i couldnt find it.the superliner is nice but to expansive to ship it to europe greetings rene

and the steeringwheel is on the wrong site of the truck.

mack4ever.

hello from the netherlands.

i like your models very mutch.

hope you will post some more pictures of the models you build.

i did build some models years ago but they got lost when i left my parents home and moved to my own place.

i bought some models and when i can find the time i`m going to built them in the same way my trucks are.

mack4ever. (leon)

welkom to this site.

hope you like it here.

leon

looked at the new gallerie pictures.

saw a f 700 go to greece.

it was owned by the same companie i got my r 600 from.

there were a few trucks with a trading companie in belgium.

he had 2 r 600 1 f 700 and one fm 700 when i bought my r 600 from him.

so now i see the rest of the trucks also came to the netherlands.

but thy don`t stay here.

i hope the f 700 gets a good life in greece.

BBC (bumper to back of cab) was a very important selling point when overall length laws were enforced. The standard for measuring BBC or overall length is measured from the farthest point forward. When a bulldog is mounted on a G, the nose of the dog is the farthest point forward. This could easily add 1 1/2" to the advertised BBC dimension. From my research on G-models this was the reason. Mack could advertise the G as a short BBC tractor offering the best truck in it's class for BBC.

In response to several of the other posts re: G-models. There were many engineering changes made to the G cab. The post in the middle of the cab was added to offer support to the roof panel. The roof would "oil-can" when traveling causing quite a few concerns. The prop was added and eliminated the problem. Several other changes were made to increase the structural integrity of the cab. Most of the changes were made to eliminate water spray from the front tires interfering with the visibiility out the side windows and west coast mirrors.

I hope this helps. I would be happy to answer any other questions you may have. Doug

Check out the posts to the Wiki area of the Big Mack Trucks page on G-models.

is that the same reasen they toke the right back corner out of the cab to make place for the mufler ?

hello all.

we got one renault whit the sane chirp in the shop i work.

we toke the oilpan out and chekt the rollers.

the roller from the first lifter was bad but the camshaft is good.
