85snowdog

A pic of my dozer. It had its 10th birthday a couple months ago.

Hope you guys have fun. Don't forget pics if you can. I have heard there is a tri-axle Titan float tractor owned by Randy Jenkins . Randy is a true pro. I have known him for a little over 20 years. And there is a granite snowplow owned by a local aggregate company. They say the Mack booth was impressive.

I would like to go, but with the weather finally changing, I have LOTS to do.

BADDOG, my plow came from RJ's in 1998. I always watch what they have. There was a nice rawhide there, that would have been good for sneakers. I was going to post it for you, but its gone.

Maybe this one might interest him.

Nice looking trucks!!!! Look forward to seeing more pics of them.

It looks like the guys on the dock are saying" I'm not telling him its in the water, you tell him"

Gearhead is right , tractor protection valve.

I can imagine the site foreman was not impressed. Did the 88 have to save the day?

What about Banarama cruel summer video with the NEMF or on the ball they keep changing the name. Vinny will be all over it with all the action of the U and the chicks.

That was a good one blackdog. It must of been pretty cozy in that cab with 3 girls and the driver.

When I think of Macks in a movie, I think of Die Hard 3.

When I looked for a pic, I found that Bigdogtrucker had started a thread about it a little more than 5 years ago.

Very interesting! Here is a link to that thread. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/8502-die-hard-3-b-81/

And the next movie I think about is of course ….Convoy. A true classic, like the truck.

I have some Western Star pics I wanted to share. The owners of all 3 trucks ran Internationals before their Western Stars. I don't really remember specs. I will try my best.

Think it was a 1986 with a 60 series detroit

Same truck. I was doing a job in down town Toronto in 1995

This was a 99 model year. New in1998. Had a big cat . Pic is taken in Montreal 1998. I'm the tall guy. Used to tag along for fun.

This is a Truck that works for me. 2001 has a big cat,18 speed. Pic taken last May.

If that truck could talk, imagine the stories it could tell. Great find ! look forward to watching and hearing about your progress.

Thanks Thomas, I just got the 86 tri-axle out of storage. After I shine it up a bit more, I will post some more pics of it. The inside and the outside .

Thanks Vlad

Vision386, Back in Black, AdirondakMack and MACKS, thanks guys for the complements.

My trucks have never been new, but I have always been particular about how they work and look. That means when everyone else was enjoying their weekend, I am usually working on something………….Thats how I enjoy my weekend!

He's a guy that can really plow!

I remember that video. The guy got fired for it.

We are told the same thing he says in the video"get the snow pushed back" . In the process of doing that, cars may get buried, driveways get filled. You can't really help it.

He was just enjoying it too much.

Really , its a terrible job. We get threatened, shovels thrown at the truck, cars parked in the way on purpose. And to top it off we are told if we say or do anything in response, we will be fired on the spot. No second chances.

I have a beautiful 79 r model that your 6k wouldn't come close to buying it if it was for sale.One owner,72,000 orignal miles.For the 6k don't expect a truck in real good shape.Mine I'ld hop in right now and go to Calif. in it and never give it 2 throughts.What are you looking to do with it,restore or use?

Very nice truck MikeD.

I'm think'n the same as you Bigdog. Couple more going oversea

Dear?? hope that was auto correct

I hope you find something. Could be tough in that price range.

I have seen at auctions that anything with a bulldog on the hood goes for min. 5 grand. Even if it's crap. Nigeria is usually the on line bidder that takes it.

Heres a link to an R model tractor, not far from Toronto. (I know its not close,just wanted to show you price)

Its $ 8000.00 Canadian - converts to approximately $7250.00 US and I would call this a P.O.S.

There is deals out there, hopefully you find one……. and save another mack from going overseas.

Very cool R. I Like the colour.

Nice looking truck.

I forgot about your beer. CHEERS !
