How does anyone know that figures are inflated ? I'm sure that the same argument could be used for WW1 and WW2 A large percentage of the population that died during WW1 would of died as a result of the Spanish flue that the US troops took around the world when they served overseas The same could be said no doubt for the troops during WW2 and no doubt other wars as well An Australian serving in Vietnam was more likely to die at home statistically than if they served in Vietnam, I doubt the U.S. was much different Using the arguments quoted above, "they were gunna die any way so dont count them" to me just doesn't cut it Dunno I guess if you have the information and choose to ignore it thats your choice Anyway good luck with it all, I thought that public in the U.S. must not of had the figures on this but it appears they do Paul

Was yacking to some one last night and were discussing the US and the Covid 19 and the fact a lotta people still don't take seriously over there or at least thats how it reads to me on this forum So after some Googling we found some quick answers Did you know that in WW1 the US lost 116,516 troops WW2 407,300 USA Covid 19 deaths to date 737,589 I as does everyone else I speak to in Australia can not fathom how people in the U.S. are still arguing about Covid 19 and face masks and vaccines and all the other things they seam to argue about makes no sense at all when you look at the cold hard facts Nearly 1 & 1/2 times the amount of people have died from Covid 19 as WW1 and WW2 combined Paul

Check the air pressure, if the regulator isnt working and the pressure is to high it will just keep popping O rings, should be around 60 - 65 psi Then move onto other problems Paul

Dunno, it's their truck they can do what they want I try and understand it from both sides Someone has finally got some coin together to by a project and for fill a dream Someone else is just happy to own it and do nothing with it We cant and shouldn't expect someone to sell something just because we want it and we are cashed up I reckon you gotta respect what people want to do even if we dont agree, it's theirs to do with what they want Paul

The seventh whats came about because of what ???? I'm completely lost here Paul

Thats a classy looking ride Paul

Sounds like you have a crook ground Paul

I would go along with the view on PAI parts, I have never had a bad experience with them yet Paul

You done well to share them here, all of interest to me That white stuff on the ground cant be snow ? Or could it, buggered if I know Paul

Oceanliner, airliner, jetliner, streamliner I guess the list goes on, it's a bit like the famous "blinking eye" court case in the US when Ford stole the intermittent wiper system that Robety Kearns invented Ford claimed he didn't own the invention of the components so it didn't belong to Kearns Kearns argued that they were correct but he owned the arrangement of the components that allowed the intermittent wiper system to operate Kearns won the case, mind you it cost him everything, money family house the lot, anyway I'm getting off topic here But using that thought process Freightliner doesn't own the letters but rather the arrangement as a whole and since Mack only used some of those letters Freightliner wouldn't have a case Paul

At 185 bucks it would be worth it even from out here with all the wheels I have Doubt it will ever happen, mind you if I keep a on social media buy swap and sell they do come up every now and then for a lot less Paul

Not many left in Australia now, looks to be in good order Paul

Sounds exhausting to me Paul

Looking fantastic, enjoying watching this build come together Paul

Winner winner chicken dinner, you've done well Thats a pretty high standard you set, should be proud of the results Thanks for sharing with us Paul

Not with pulling it apart sorry If someone has used silicone or silastic or that type of thing it can be squashed off on the inside and drops down and gets pumped thru the box or caught in the sliding dogs and makes it jump out of gear, run loud and wear out before its time If this is a remanufactured box with only 20,000 miles on it wouldn't it be covered under warranty ? Pretty sure Mack is 100,000 km in Australia on remanufactured stuff so that would be 60,000 miles If you tamper with it to much you might void your warranty if it still applies Maybe something to look into Paul

Crook bearing in the box or a oil gallery is blocked Paul

Been a while between drinks, looking forward to more updates Paul

Would you believe mrsmackpaul@gmail.com Something I wouldn't forget lol Paul

Yeah mate, they headed bush around 1 in the morning, made for a very slow 150 km plus trip to the next town, rolled into town at sunrise Paul

So many letters I think I got confused some what, carry on as I can now see by my quick re-read I was getting a tad lost 🤔 Not to worry I think Im back on track now Paul

So much to learn about these Macks, I'm gunna have to re-read this thread as I'm getting a little lost (this happens quite often with me) and want to make sure I get the facts as close to correct in my peanut size brain as I can 😉 Paul

I have never seen a midliner with a bonnet or hood on it, I assumed that was a North American thing Vlad do you know if a hood was ever offered in Europe? Paul

No dumb questions here Was meant to collect a load of steel RSJ beams near Mackay but when I went to collect them they weren't as described There was something I wanted to look at in Townsville, for the life of me I can't remember what now, I do remember that I sat there for a day waiting for the cleat that went walk about when I busted a stud between Ayr and Mackay Also wanted to collect a McGrath axle McGrath is a brand of semi trailer made in Australia up until the mid 80's and when ever I see axles come up I collect them as spares are getting harder to find And seeing my son as well at Ayr Pretty sure I wanted to look at a old COE Mercedes Benz truck, a rare one as well but I honestly cant remember what I was gunna look at at Townsville May of been a Superliner as there was a mob there that HeavyHaulageAustralia bought out before going belly up had a heap of old series I and II's on heavy work, that long ago now I cant remember Long story short I ended up getting steel beams in Adelaide from a old Supermarket roof But thats a whole other story Paul
