A few toys there I would think would come handy at Vermont getting fire wood in Tim Paul

HMMMM all very interesting funny thing is Mack Australia is a lot different than their US brother yesterday afternoon I was working in the shed and my boy yells out for me to come to the phone I get to the phone and Mack Australia is on the other end of the line asking am I happy with my truck what would I like in a new truck how do I find the dealers ect ect yeah,yeah you all say BUT and its a big BUT I have never bought a new Mack there was no hard sell I was asked what Mack Australia could do better apart from bringing back the R model cool powered Mack back I couldnt think of anything to which the bloke on the other end of the line agreed and then we started talking about how good the coolpower Mack is and how the thrive on really hard work it was like an echo down the phone line obviously a older Mack man he told me he would pass my suggestions across to the powers that be The point Im making is we make out that no one cares but I was stunned to get a phone call good onya Mack Australia does anyone else ever get a phone call about there 34 year old dream machine from the people that made it all those years ago to see if I am still happy with the Mack they made you never know who's reading the forum and taking notes about what we want and dont want like and dont like free market research for Mack Paul

she's a sharp looking bit of gear now So whats the white and black bonnet (hood) I can see off to the RHS ? Paul

nothing to do with trucks but Im liking it thats one of the great things about this forum topics sought of lead off in un expected directions and I learn so much keep it coming would be good to see a picture of all three hooked together Paul

Fantastic stuff I reckon it would take a while to have a good look around something else to do before I fall of the perch the bucket list is getting longer Paul

Fantastic stuff fellas a 63 ton machine must have a fair size bowl and the 95 ton unit must be huge park the truck in the bowl maybe 63 ton explains all those tyres Paul

well the video at the end goes to show the little fella had a great time thanks for the pics and the story Paul

Good to see Robs rebuilt trailer out doing what it should well and truly worth fixing Paul

All I can say is Wow I wonder how it went ??? it makes me wonder what over experimental Trucks Mack have made or being involved with over the years ?? Is there a thread all ready started some were ?? Paul

Well you've all let the cat out of the bag now I cant tell you what we call Vegemite in Australia or Peanut Butter the sensors would chuck me off the forum But needless to say Vegemite is good if your crook tea spoon in cup hot water Vegemite soup get a mouth ulcers put some on the ulcer problem solved put enough on your toast first thing in the morning it will warm from the inside out I could go on all night but we will have shortage of Vegemite as the Yanks get onto the next new health kick Paul

Tim I can see why you would call it one of your favorite places would you believe there was snow fall in Queensland today Im sure the people from Vermont would be in hysterics at what the news tonight called snow fall http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/lifestyle/snow-falls-in-parts-of-queensland-today-while-gold-coast-prepares-to-rug-up/story-fnj94iqm-1227439438870 Fantastic pictures as usual Tim Paul

ones mans pleasure craft is another mans ship Gilligan Paul

As far as I know at least in Australia the gold dog came out with Maxidyne powered trucks and was to represent the new Maxidyne motor Plenty of people say it is only a pure Mack drive line that has the gold dog but Mack Australia's official word is it was when the Maxidynes came out in the 60's How ever I think today any new Mack that has the all Mack drive line has a gold dog but from the late 60's till the end of the production run of the Maxidyne thats what the gold dog was for Paul

check the big bolt inside the tail shaft yoke on the output shaft of the trans these are known to come loose some times Paul

dirt earth ground all the same to a farmer LOL thanks for that Tim

maybe the earth in the for radio is bit sus

well Tim I can say one thing for certain you wont find any country side that pretty in Australia . Australia is pretty much flat and dry theres a few bumps not big mountains like NZ That sure is a pretty place there keep those pictures coming Paul

Some pretty impressive figures there 3.70 seconds is a lot quicker than any top fuler I have ever seen having said that I havent been to a drag strip for 25 years and it was pretty earth moving experience back then The only thing quicker in those days at acceleration in Australia was FA 18 fighter planes that the air force had or at least that was what I was always told by the figures above I wonder if thats still accurate Paul

I have been told all sorts stories over years and none of them any good most times you come across some people that like them but not Kelly and the Kelly gang as they are known They would go to shows and walk around shit can other trucks mouthing off all over the place very un Australian Paul

looking nice Paul

bugger me whats going on in the world it appears that the more we get as a society the worse we become did any of this go in the depression or in the war years maybe but I think people had to many of there own problems to do all of this stuff Paul thanks for sharing this concerning stuff as I think we all need a wake up call to whats going around us at times
