Those are all great pics ! Thanks A customer of mine told me that one of the most beautiful spots in the world was Montana. I think he meant in the summer. However if you were inside , and didn't have to deal with snow , its very picturesque . Brocky, that video is so cool. I like that those were the days that people wanted to see the plow . Now they blow the horn ,keep there high beams on behind us, give the finger and throw stuff at us. People are so appreciative . lol

Greetings from UP North EH!
85snowdog replied to One Stack in the Back's topic in Introduction Forum
From Ontario, welcome aboard ! You came to the right place. There is lots of knowledge here. In case you didn't know………… we love pics -
I'm pretty sure if you owned the truck, it would be fixed already. That's the hardest part of working for someone else. Sometimes the owners priorities are different than what we think is important. I'm not saying this is the case. But I know of people that think its more important to go to Vegas or buy a fancy new pickup , than fix their trucks.

Nice truck Welcome aboard
-
I think that would be a great experience . Unfortunately, Even if I could save the money for it . I don't think I could do the long flights.

Thanks Paul, for the info and the narrated tour of your countryside. I enjoyed your videos so much , I think you would do a good job of some Australian country side videos. I can see it now…….. "The adventures of Paul and Miss Molly" Thanks again , Safe travels
-
Thanks for sharing your pics with us Paul. I'm pretty sure I will never see the land down under. But your pics get me a little closer. Forgive me if this has been asked already…….. but do you have to keep a log book ? I'm thinking if I got stopped by the DOT in a day cab, If I told them I slept in the gutter beside the truck .Even if the weather was appropriate , They would just haul me off to jail. LOL

RD factory pics
85snowdog replied to mackey58's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
The only thing I can add to this thread is 2 working RD's . A 31 year old dump and a 32 year old plow . They are both as reliable as the day they came from Mack I would say the brochure is right . They are tough, durable and do a good job of keeping operating and maintenance cost down.

There gone ! Thanks !

I still have it too Jim. When I hit the home button. It goes to corrupt zone . I googled it ………………….. Its a forum of some type??????? Whats this world coming to ?

Mine has an external speaker Vlad . I would never be able to hear it without .
-
So after some investigation Vlad, I found the CB is mounted with 2 screws mounted to the front. Screwed into some home made brackets. The CB is actually resting on some foam so there isn't much stress on the front. I attached some pics to help. As for the amount of room . It fits no problem. You could even set it in a little farther if you want . Just a little though. Remember you need room for antenna and power wires . Please keep us posted on your progress
-
Vlad, the previous owner put the CB above the passenger seat. I had always figured it was turned a bit for a little easier access. It could be possible though, it is because of room. I never thought of that . I have never had it out , so I can't answer you properly. I will try to do some investigating for you on the weekend.

Great videos . Thanks Paul. I was thinking , even if you posted your wiper problem , I would have never thought to ask if you were using control properly. I think I would have suggested a new control first , before you changed wiper motor.The wiper motor in the plow is 32 years old and is used every time time truck is out plowing . Had to replace control though.
-
Vlad, my favourite spot is on the dash by the ash tray. Its easy to mount and easy to use there. My 1988 R has it mounted in the overhead console. It looks really good and is tidy. But its not as handy to access controls though. But it is certainly manageable. My off breed truck has it overhead as well. in the centre. the mic cord hangs down in front of me . but it doesn't bother me at all. its nice and handy. I have added pics for you. Maybe it helps a little .
-
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us. I enjoy your episodes way more than anything on TV.
-
At the very bottom of the screen there is a spot that says "Theme" . I had mine set to Carbon. (Like button wasn't there) When I changed it to Flux (default) or just Default , the little Bulldog is there for a LIKE button. I kinda like it because you have the choice of 5 different reactions.

Its not just you Back in Black. I seem to have lost it too .

Went and did it again
85snowdog replied to 57 bcr's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Looks really good Al . I need to do something similar on my "88 . I would LIKE it , but I don't seem to have that technology now. -
Thanks Truck Shop. I love spaghetti westerns . When I hear that music, I see a horse and rider in the distance, slowly getting closer with a dust trail behind them. It got me thinking I could do the same with an old bulldog and a worn out driver that doesn't look anything like Clint Eastwood. Here is my version with the music from Good, Bad and Ugly . Thanks again for the thread https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxbR5ArrUa0

I'm sure it will be good to the new owner. It was well taken care of. I bet you have a new truck soon. Please let us know what you get. ………………Even if its an off breed .
-
Hopefully you like the new SPIF spec'd truck . I haven't met too many people that like them. It seems to me that more people in our area are switching to the dual steering axles instead of a steering lift axle .

Caribbean Macks
85snowdog replied to 85snowdog's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
The pit they were hauling from was less than a mile of flat ground away from the barge. I don't think they had to worry about the DOT stopping by either. LOL -
Recently I had the good fortune to go to the Caribbean. It's interesting to see the Macks living their next life down there . I though I would share some pics with you. The first pics are from St. Maarten The next ones are from St. Kitts The next ones are from Dominica But my favourite was in Barbuda. I did some video of some well used DM's . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5rSYFtEPJc Hope you enjoy !
