Way to go Oshkosh!

I thought those Granites looked familiar.I wonder how long Tilcon will keep the Granites. It would be a shame to see them all replaced with Paccars. Nice to see Macks in the Tilcon fleet again. I think the last ones were RD's and a couple of CL's. I see they have the new 300 numbering units. I wonder if the original 200 numbering units were in the sale. It didn't take long for Tilcon to give them Tilcon numbers. For those who don't know Tilcon is owned by Irelands New Castle. More buying up of America!

Yes I wonder where all of these old time members have gone!?

The king and queen of Sweden will be happy as will Mack defense employees.

Other dog thanks for all of the eye candy!

Troublemaker- You are in luck! Go to face book they have a group chat for Harry T. Campbell. 129 members. All kinds of photos of their mixers. Nice shot of a B model mixer, lots of E A and Lj models. IH KB's , White WC's, parafenallia, etc. Photos of bumpers with watch that child.

From what I read the Cummins X10 replacement for the L-9 and X12 should be out in 2026. Looks like it will be strong competition for the vertically integrated power trains of the Europeans!

Not only should they be made in the US but owned by the US Companies. Lets come up with policies to send the Europeans and Japan packing. Tariffs can level the playing field. There aren't enough toes and fingers to count the number of once great American Companies that have been lost to these foreign countries. US government officials and corporate boards of directors should be ashamed of their greed!

I found an even more extensive history on the Mack V8 origins and Scania relationship. -Go to curbsideclassic.com/blog/engines/the-legendary-mack-v8-diesel-engine-1962-2003-big-power-with-a-distinctive-sound-and-its-scania-v8-off spring-is-still-going-strong/ Seems to indicate Mack was the origin of the original Mack/Scania v8. Mack shipped Scania a V8 (probably 864 version) and then they both went their own separate ways in development. Volvo squashed the Mack development side of things in (2000-2002), and Scania continued on, even to this day.

That will be one hell of a tractor! Good luck! Keep us informed as you go.

Probably site trucks for TVA power plant construction.

The 864 Mack V-8 came out in 1962 as I recall. The engine pictured here is a Mack V-8 not a Detroit. You would think the truck would be a 1962 or newer.

I disagree that Cummins has such a stronghold over the entire truck industry. With vertical integration by truck manufacturers Paccar, Daimler, Volvo and VW all have their own engine offerings competing against Cummins. Give credit to Cummins for being able to pull through and be the sole option to the big four(Paccar, Daimler, Volvo VW( Man and Scania). All are European engine manufacturers vs Cummins. I say the sole US truck engine manufacturer deserves support.

Why is the Mack MP-7 and Volvo D-11 being canceled and what will replace it? Is the Mack pinnacle being canceled or just the sleeper model. The Pinnacle day cab is a good seller in the Boston area.

I remember when I was a kid seeing an H model in the shop with the engine on a slant as I remember.
