    the old Ergo cab they had them as Hippo's Buffalo's and with sleeper cabs as well great big long cabs heaps of glass Kev the local IH Dealer gave me these pictures of Seddon and Atkinson trucks back in the early 80's all Aussie trucks except maybe the second last one Tim I didnt know any one else called farmers cockys I always thought it was a Australian thing cow cockys cane cockys grain cockys and the list goes on I dont no why we give names to things in Australia as we never use them even citys towns rivers states the lot all have nick names we are funny buggers Paul

    Thanks for that Vlad did they make a single drive NR my grand father drove one as a log truck after the war for a few years he always told me it was a NR it had a petrol motor air brakes and a soft top cab it might have even been made into single drive after the war but I wouldnt think so trucks were in such short supply and no weight rules much straight after the war Paul

    Vlad I dont know in Australia I have always known them as NR Macks along with the ones running single tyres and the ones that are single drive it's a bit like an R model we dont call them by model names or numbers they are Flinstones, R models, Value Liners and Super Liners and the motors are 711's Thermodyne's, Cool Power Econodyn's and E9's at least thats the way I have always heard them spoken about So getting back to the NR I have no idea what model it really is it's just a NR to me and most people out here as well I would think so I am always keen to learn how to tell the difference so feel free to educate me Paul

    So am I right in the axle housing is bent ? If so can you just pull the housing out and put it in a press and push it back straight ??? or is that a big no no ?? Paul
  11. mrsmackpaul

    Yes I noticed the lack of information coming but I always give people the benefit of the doubt I would think here would be the ideal spot to provide some real answers from some real world situations so people can make informed decisions about these points after all heres a bloke wanting to buy some new trucks never no we still may here back from him as he maybe getting the figures together Paul

    Could you give some figures that these people are getting with their Macks eg fuel economy ect ???? The reason I ask is that the figures we see getting around seem to vary a lot and it would be good for all to see some real figures so we can compare what differences there really are Do people really get 8 and 9 MPG or is 6 MPG the norm Years ago Macks were always advertised it's not the initial cost of a Mack to look at it's the whole of life cost I wonder is it still the same ?? Paul

    This was on the news the other night I laugh as the bloke in the car tries to blame the truck driver I wonder what would have happened if the truck driver didnt dash cam Paul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNva-YsX2AE
