lots of classy gear there Paul

which way I reckon they should run spot on both ways eg side ways and round and round if that makes any sense I can always adjust my wheels ok so they dont wobble maybe Im just lucky Paul

Yeah pretty tough loosing a mate like that The pooches put the human to shame most times I was a shattered man when my old blue dog dropped off the perch a few years ago Paul

I would have thought the whole truck should be 12 volt ????? but who knows everything is different Paul

They were certainly that for sure but they did make a lot of people a lot of money in their day as Ken says a good honest worker they were used as interstate trucks and all hard to believe today but that was the way it was back then even in the early eightys a lot of interstate trucks didnt have sleepers on them just slept as best as you could and no one new any better Good job on that one Ken Paul

Better tell your Dad to stop drag the chain

Ron I would be surprised if there wasnt a shortage of most workers as I feel most kiwi's are over here or at least a whole heap of them are I think the US is the only country were there has to be a proven need before you can get a Visa I dont think the people from south of the border care to much about that though Paul

Looks real good to me top job Paul

Thanks Paul I dont know were find all of this information yep as what was said above the B61 only it's mother could love it to put that much effort in and thats the result reminds me a bit of the Ford Edsel they put a huge amount of effort in and the end result was well how should I put it "NOT PETTY" The F 715 looks like a Scamell Crusader cab from the UK with a bit different grill How we going kv are we getting closer to answering your question ?? Paul

Do you no who assembled them in Europe and I wonder did they have a local European content ? Paul

How high can things be in the US in Australia its 4.5 meters with out a permit I never worried about permits once until one day a bench that the farmer wanted me shift with his bean harvester fell off the back of the truck and landed on the bonnet of the car behind me I was over weight , over width over 16 feet wide, and over height over 16 feet high as well no permits no pilot vehicle's I could now see how easy things can pear shape so the next time into the Police station fill out the paper work 10 minutes later walked out all legal no cost dont know why I didnt do it before The green cab over is that a F or a FR most built in Australia were built on a R model chassis hence the FR designation Paul

Welcome kvtrucker I have never heard of a Mack plant in Europe but saying that I would be very surprised if there wasnt as the Eroupean Macks look to be a lot different specced than the US ones If there was a plant I would feel it would be in Holland or Germany There's a lot more smarter people on here that could give you the answers Im sure You might have to go back thru some old truck magazines of the day and do some research I would figure if Macks were sold in Europe there had to be dealers and if some of dealers are around they might be able to point you in the right direction good luck with it all and I'll watch this space and learn seeya Paul

yep look's like it's a plan thats falling into place nicely Paul

Ken thats a pretty high spec truck for its day heavy haulage or Road Train ???? come to think of it , it is still is a high spec truck Paul

Chamberlain Cane Lander tractor ??? front axle has suspension Cane Landers are easy to tell apart from a normal Chamberlain becaus the steering wheel is in the middle and they have larger wheels all other Chamberlians had a bench seat and you could fit the whole family on if it was a small family like mine one of the last bench seat models before the sedan aeries started the most commonly known high speed Chamberlain was Tailend charlie Made in Welshpool Western Australia http://www.tailendcharliethetractor.org/Tail%20End%20Charlie%20History%201957.html Paul

There would appear to be a few of us on here who have milked the cow or more over the years Tim we have a lot of crossings like that in North Queensland has a lot to do with amount of rain we can get in one hit up here neighbour tells me the most rain they had in one day was 56 inches when a cyclone came thru BLOODY WET HEY Paul

I have never seen or heard of this movie sounds like an interesting thing for me to watch and learn from Is there some were I can view this movie ???? or buy a DVD of it ?? Paul

I dunno about all this 200 lbs plus tension sounds way to tight to me it should be as simple as Swishy's lower left hand picture drive twenty minutes or so then pull up and re tighten after all the studs are only mild steel as far as I know and they dont hold the cleats in once they are tight they hold like a morse taper drill bit Or at least thats the way I under stand it Walt sounds like your spacer has being squashed to me or maybe the wrong spacer has being fitted at some stage you can get different width spacers for different brands of rims and hubs Paul
