    I am stunned they sold so many trucks into north America They were certainly tough enough for American transport and definitely built for theblong distance work Does anyone know what year they stopped importing them to the State's ? Paul
  2. mrsmackpaul
    Yeah apparently I become really loud and crack jokes, probably very inappropriate jokes and generally lead other blokes astray

    Im struggling to understand what has happened here, I'm guessing the truck has wandered off the road a bit Guess we will never know Paul

    Hmmmmm, bourbon, and yes Jim Beam is my preferred drop, there was cherry liqueur Have never seen Red Stag on the shelf in Australia Used to love Bundaberg rum, oh my that bear really new how to sort me out I always reckoned I was the life of the party and as funny as all get out while on the Rum, however the next morning I get a different vibe from some other less energetic party goes Needless to say I discovered JimBeam and he doesnt seem to have the aftermorning effects as much as rum Oh to be 20 again Paul

    I reckon 425 would really stretching it It's only a little motor but I really dont know Yes the block probably is the weak point, they used to crack out here with just a standard tune, I guess it would depend on how long it is planned to be driven hard A hour or so maybe okay Paul

    I have never had anything like that happen to me yet I have always used a gear puller with the hooks in were the uni goes on the yoke, similar result, occasionally I have stretched the yoke and had to replace it I guess when they are stuck they are stuck and something has gotta give, we just hope they give in the right spot Paul

    My brother has in recent times finally after many many decades had a life changing event happen, he has bought a Mack, think it is 1984 build His is a ex army (Australian Army) 6x6 and it has 44 rears and has full cross locks on all three axles from new as well as inter axle powerdivider lock and transfer case lock It is standard from Mack Australia full time 6x6 fully locking 6x6 So I'm guessing that if we had it in Australia then they are definitely available else were as we really got the scrapings from the bottom of the barrel compared to the states Paul
  23. mrsmackpaul
    So do the other carriers fit in ? As in the 92/93 fit the 112/113's axle housings Im thinking but have no idea the spider gears would have to be changed tp suit bigger axles I know notjing about this stuff at all so any help is helpful Paul
  24. mrsmackpaul
    I gather thats the same for 112/113 and so on Do you have the ratios for the 200 series carriers Joey ? I have no idea were I'll find spare carriers for 58's in Australia, first I need to work out what ratio I'm looking for Paul
  25. mrsmackpaul
