That Malo mixer on DMM chassis must be driven from Quebec if I'm not lost in geography. Pretty sure it belongs (belonged?) to a fleet of one of our fellow members. Any info on the Superdogs behind it?

@Vladislav to the best of my knowledge the Superdogs and the DM in front of the mixer all belong to members of the DePaul family, a contractor here in the Philadelphia, PA area. They are all beautiful restorations that have been to Macungie and out at Gerhart’s in the past. They may also own the mixer, but Tom’s photo is the first I’ve seen of it. @hicrop10 may know more…

Thank you for the photos @other dog!  Wasn’t in the cards for me to make it this year…

The square body looks pretty sharp too @h67st!  You do exceptional work!

Good memory/lookup skills @h67st.

How’s bought you @Truck Shop still got your BMT ears on?  Loved your build thread.

I’m always impressed at how much seems to move around between visits @Hans Remmers  - the U model with the bathtub at least was in a completely different spot - and the line of truck cranes out front was impressive. 

Perhaps it’s out of the photo @fjh, but if not I’d highly recommend blocking up the arms and upper jaw of the 4&1 to protect yourself from a sudden drop from a hydraulic failure. Want to ensure that you’re around to post more photos of your adventures with the 580. 😎

Anyone heading to Gerhart Machinery in Litiz, PA for their annual “Digging Days” on Saturday?  Not sure how it go to be the first weekend in May already?

How about some photos @fjh?

I’d love to have a 530 or 580 of some vintage but I can’t really justify it on my 0.25 acre in town lot… 😎

@Whiskymack has a photo of the brochure in his thread @mowerman  

If it was a 2023 website advertisement I could see the entire image being a computer creation.

Not sure if anybody else noticed, but it looks like the guy model is dubbed in like something Tom would do oooooooooo how you say???? Poorly cropped lol bob

My guess is that the photo was split across 2 pages - similar to the Superliner. Guy model’s shadow shows on the door. That’s pretty tough to do with paste, but I expect Tom could make it happen with his computer skills. 😎

This might be a good one for @Firemack to chime in on as he has recently rebuilt a pump on a similar vintage B….

Welcome to BMT @Paul S.  Great story and introduction - especially since you included photos!

Looking forward to hearing more about your experience with the truck and your restoration journey.

Sounds as if it could have been much worse @mdixon!  Amazing to hear that there are that many chickens on one farm  

Glad to read that no one working there was hurt and that your fleet didn’t receive more damage. 

Hope the fire isn’t causing you too much stress @mdixon.  Must be one heck of a mess to clean up. 

Hopefully no Macks were injured. 

Any word on how the Stars are working out @Bullheaded?

Appreciate all the effort to fight these intruders!

@67RModel was right on the money in @need4steam's thread asking about the weight of a B61!  Thank you for sharing @touringsedan.  Sharp piece of history that you have there!

Amazing to see how they used lattice boomed cable rigs to load the trucks. Hefty booms to be able to pull the loads against the boom like that!

Also interesting to see the logging arches in action behind the dozers.

The problem was a couple for fuel leaks, one under the cab in a fitting in the main fuel line and another on the injector return.  Fuel was draining back and it was taking about 5 attempts to start.  Runs great now.

Glad to hear that @Lozzatron. Now we need some more photos!

Thank you for the update @JoeH.  Glad to hear that the MR is working well.
 

Good luck with the winter project. You could always start a post in the “odds and ends” section….  We all enjoy a good build thread. 🙂

Nice find @need4steam!

Do you have access to another truck that could pull your trailer with the B on it?  If you are planning to use the trailer in the near future you might be money ahead making it road worthy and using it to get the truck home. 

Keep us posted!

Got caught up in the "Tech" layoffs @tjc transport?

Me again @JoeH.  How's the MR treating you after 6 months?  Any big projects planned for the winter?
