great looking trucks I dont think many ever made it out to Australia Mack never seemed to take off in Australia until the B model had an Uncle killed when the tongs came off and the tongs got him left behind a wife and 4 little kids family never really got over it Paul

How good is that it would seem we all have a tendency to resist rules at times good on your Grand Dad and he had for sight to use a good truck as well LOL Paul

some of you may or may not know of ACMOC the club for old Caterpillar gear anyway in their latest magazine they had this article and well I have copied flogged stolen borrowed what ever you want to call it this article I found it interesting Had never heard this story before enjoy seeya Paul

Well had a gander in the shed couldnt find any old bolts still in the box but I found what I reckon were the bolts out of my E6 5/8 x 3 UNF grade 8 sorry not much help Paul

well I can measure some old ones if I can find some give me a little bit of time I have always put new bolts in if I have had to have the flywheel off and when I buy them they come with loctite already on them PIA I seem to remember let me have a look and I will see what I can find Paul

better than

under statement of the year looks great you know what this crew is like more photo's and a video they are never gunna be happy with just the one pic LOL top job Paul

Ah thats different I thought you were talking about were the seal runs gotta fix it properly metal spray and machine I missed one of your posts oops never heard of it being called a quill before Paul

bog is what we call body filler they use on panels etc 2 pack stuff Paul

Timmy now that I know what your talking about I speedy sleeved mine 58,000 pounds no problems 9 years later Gleeman parts sell the speedy sleeve in the kit with seal so fairly common If the spindle is really stuffed you can just fill it up with bog and sand back smooth and then put the sleeve on that way the sleeve has support have done this no more problems either way a lot cheaper than a few grand I always put speedy sleeves on with loctite so I dont get any weeping between the sleeve and shaft Paul

sounds like the governor is not working if you have changed that maybe its a crook air line or a blockage in a air line ???? Paul

some good lookin trucks there how good is this one Paul

Dont worry mate Im still breathing LOL Paul

Id be all over that in a flash as everyone else has stated Turn up with the folding stuff and take it home before some one else does it wont last long even if some one was only getting it for parts its still dirt cheap IMHO Paul

Hope your not planning on drilling thru the flanges of the chassis to mount the box as this is a no no out here and they wont let your register it once its been done just saying Paul

I really couldnt give a flynig F--k what others think about what I do I do for me and what others do they do for them I and enjoy what others do the day we start telling people what they should or shouldnt do for me is a sad day I enjoy what others do and I enjoy seeying the smile on peoples face when they are cruising around in there bucket of bolts or their pristine show pony but then again Im a bit strange I like trucks in there working clothes having said that a true working truck will have so many upgrades over its life it wont be anything like when it cam from the factory I like scroll work on a truck not vinyl lettering but if some one else likes vinyl good luck to them nothing like good brush work very cool indeed thats 50 cents worth Paul

gudday and welcome Paul

You know they say admitting to the problem is half the battle your half way to the cure but would really want to cured lol I went visit a farm on the Darling downs (farming region SE Queensland ) and this fella I think he said he had 42 Cats and then there was the shed full of Inters another full of John Deere a Ford shed a car shed a Header shed and on and on it went then you get to his wifes doll collection and the Bakelite radio shed as I was leaving the Princess called her I told her I have good news I dont have a problem at all just gotta find the right person to compare my self to LOL Paul

I reckon there would have been over 3700 sold in Australia easily dunno for sure but they sold bucket loads in Superliners and Valueliners Paul

were these tipturbine or the cooler in front of the radiator ??? Paul

so I take it you have been searching for the right truck for some time Paul

hmmm I reckon I know one way you could stay warm Paul hey if they are snow bunnys wonder what the easter bunny looks like I might just shift to Montana OH YEAH

your ripping right into it making the rest of us look bad whats wrong with the old hood ???? Paul

are you sure it is a Mack and not some other truck re cabbed with a Mack cab and grill because the guards (fenders ) running boards fuel tanks and and battery boxes look like another type of truck to me cab sought of sits wrong what do you reckon ????? Paul
