  1. Your truck looked a lot better when you got it out of the woods. Happy to see it saved. I wouldn't mind a good story either.
  2. Just a thought … would the circuit breaker be getting weak . Try a new one perhaps.
  3. Cool trucks, I like the tractor. We likes all pics here…..even your dozer or your float.
  4. I think superdog has you on the right track mrmack. Some pics to help. first one is the tach cable, second is the tach cable off. Does that look like the threaded hole?
  5. That is so true. North of the border also!
  6. bbigrig, Pics of the mirrors we talked about.
  7. Very nice! Being a Dutchmasters truck I would imagine it hasn't seen much salt.
  8. Thanks Vlad for sharing your adventure with us. I agree with superdog, that is true Mack dedication to go to those lengths. I wish you the very best with the DMM……I guess you will have the only one around your neighbourhood. Keith
  9. Welcome aboard . Love to see you keeping a piece of history. Very nice truck. Keep the pics coming. Keith
  10. I think gearhead has you pointed in the right direction. If the alternator has a SAE J-180 mount, two bottom legs and one top bolt. It is important there is movement in the bottom bushing (bottom leg farthest from fan). When installing or adjusting always tighten it last. Pics would help though, in case you have something different. Keith
  11. Thats a Mack 6 speed . Or a TRXL 107/1071. The TRXL 1071 has low low or a creeper gear. I don't know of an air switch on the dash though.
  12. In the wiki there is an R model wiring diagram. It might help point in the right direction. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/tutorials/article/55-r-model-wiring-diagram/
  13. Unfortunately my education is similar to yours , from youtube. My education of Australian road trains is from the same place, youtube. Hopefully one day I can see both, Notre Dame rodeo, and go to the other side of the world to see some cool road trains! Keith
  14. Thanks Alex, I was trying to figure it out from other videos. Hopefully i can get to it one day. Everyone I know that has been, says its a great time. I will post a link to a youtube video of the Franco R700. It starts at the 2:25 mark . https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=0aiBFe4fb7I
  15. Last weekend was the Notre Dame truck rodeo in Quebec. This has on youtube….. not Macks, but pretty cool in my opinion. From what I can figure, they are pulling 145,000 pounds…….The trucks are going faster than my 237 would go empty.
  16. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/36234-had-this-little-gem-come-in-the-shop-for-an-oil-fill-up/ I won't say any more . The above tread says it all. He was heading to Ontario.
  17. Nice additions…….I hope one of your first jobs is change the mirrors on the rollback Very nice trucks at a good home!! Congrats!
  18. More sunshine here I guess …. better tans
  19. Ok BC that was photo-shoped right??? I don't believe that. Are you behind this other dog?
  20. Was it blue with a white hood? Thats A&G out of Bolton. They do a lot of snowplowing. They have a large Mack fleet. All newer stuff now. Most contracts require new equipment. They had some cool DM's with plows, would imagine they are gone now. Here they are on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=yl8rosbMWr8
  21. I think this would qualify for super trucker Saturday The driver was charged with impaired driving. It took 2 days to figure if it was safe to remove the truck. also a link to the news story http://o.canada.com/news/truck-crashes-into-bridge-on-the-burlington-skyway
  22. I hope its ok if i sneak in a DM. This was worthy of a pic because,as you can see by the mud in the pic. This guy idled in and backed up with no troubles. like A dry summer day for a Mack.
