  1. worked on the towtruck today. it`s getting worse every time some parts come of. i think i have to replace some parts of the frame. hope to find the parts to restore it. gona take some pictures and post them next time. leon.
  2. no we don`t have snow yet. it`s to warm for snow here. leon.
  3. hello maddog. it`s myintension to fix it up as a wrecker. we have saveral b models here in holland but no wreckers. i showed the truck on the mack day here in holland and everyone liked it. i also bought a european truck to tow behind it. but the most of the metal is all rusted to hell so i9t`s gona be a lot of work and a half new truck. leon.
  4. hello supredog. i think it`s gona take a while. i want to take the whole towing device of the frame and then take the axles and springs of. the rear axle is all covered up in graese and dirt so i have to power wash it first. i have to do it outside so i onley can work on it at the weekends and it`s winter now so i don`d know about the wether. hope to get it don wery soon but i need a fuw days more of cutting it apart. leon.
  5. i don`d think so. but it could be posible. they had to shorten the frame so did have to weld on it. but they strengthen the frame on the outsite and welded al the parts from the wrecker body to it. so i was two days bussy with a torch to get it all apart. try to put some photo`s of me working on it. leon.

  9. hello maddog it`s a short wheelbase for sure. it was owned by steyers from saugerties ny. i bought it tru my frend who imports much macks from the usa. but there is much more work on the truck then i thought it would be. but it keeps me of the streets and can`d do stupid things. leon.
  10. i have a r 607 with a 711 engine. there`s a little whole in the block where the liner gomes in. it`s leaking coolant between the block and the liner. let the coolant out and put frech water and wondarweld in it ,let it run for a while til it was at operating temperature and the leaking stopt. don`t know for how long but for now it`s good. leon.
