Have any of you had issues  with zoning and being told you aren’t allowed to have your classic Mack in the back yard?

I got the notice from the zoning officer in the mail yesterday and I am trying to figure out a way around it. 

It is to tall to fit in my garage or my barn. 

Besides taking the cab off and rolling it inside in two pieces. 

Any ideas? 🤔

Toss a set of these into any older 7" round vehicle and it is daylight but with a cut off pattern that is friendly to the others on the road.   Not some off road flood pattern.

Come on Larry know you want the thing sitting in your yard next to the b model.

Not mine  just  thought some one might be able to use the parts.

keeping it classy with the daytons all around.

Larry, you need that one to keep your other Mack company.

Pull the 300 and put it in your 79.   Then put the 237 in the smaller dump and presto more power and a back up/smaller second truck.

then again I am a sucker for a project.

One of these years I am going to get to that show.

It just laid down for a bit of a nap.  

You need some 385 floats on the front, but it the b model is looking good these days. 

Welcome and excellent choice of trucks. 

it is in west virgina.   I can understand the weight distribution with all the axles.  But why not make use of the long frame  with a equally long  dump box.    I guess it plays into the bridge laws some how.   It still  seems odd and a tire eating monster.

Can some one explain why this truck is set up this way?

It seems the dump bed should be longer.

2001 MACK 7 AXLES, 435 HP, 18 FEET ALUMINUM BED, ELECTRIC TARP, 13 SPEED EATON TRANSMISSION, 46,000 POUND REARS, ALUMINUM WHEELS, LED LIGHTS ALL AROUND, IT'S A MACK FACTORY DUMP TRUCK.
TRUCK IT'S READY TO WORK!!!

YOU MUST SEE IT!!!!

Let me re phrase that.  The Detroit diesel  8v-92  will be automatically  applying a oil coating to the bottom of your truck.   It is a Detroit diesel joke that they leak.

I wouldn't ever recommend or suggest such a thing as an automatic transmission in a Mack.   

Sell the new Mack and get your self a nice Mack super liner.  For what you have in engine repairs alone you could have a decent old Mack and modify it to your liking. Then you would have something  more reliable and cheaper to maintain and repair.

It was promising right up till the plastic dash board that is just way to modern. 

What is the function of the contraption on the back of the engine with the holes in it?

looks neat.  Ah to never buy another starting battery again that would be nice.  

Be interesting to see the look on a loader operators face if you pulled this in to the gravel pit and said fill it and with 58,000 rears I bet you could put a nice mound on it.   

not mine just  saw it on craigslist.

1950 LJ Mack Tractor/boom truck - $5700 (Scranton)

1950 LJ Mack tractor with a full function crane boom. It has a cummings motor that starts and runs good but needs cosmetic work. There is no title and I am asking $6000 for it. Neg on price.

One load for every forum member and we would have our selves a snazzy new forum use engine hoist in no time.  Freighttrain buys lunch. 

Interesting the way aluminum cabs  burn/melt yet the rubber tire 3 ft away is like new.

You have tried every single  brand of  plug except what I would have started with.    Try NGK  they are the only ones I put in my various motors ever since a champion decided it wanted to self destruct and take a hole from my piston with it. 

But it would fit in so well  she might not even notice a fourth truck roaming the yard.  Just paint it like the mack and never park them next to each other. 

This guy would fit right in with that fleet.
