  1. Not a KW fan but those Bullnoses were quite impressive back in the day.
  2. patdbossct-I know you have water trucks. Just for your information Joseph equipment up in New Hampshire has a couple of unique water trucks that look like dump trucks' One is an RB and the other an RD. They are orange and black. 5000gal I believe. Nice concept.
  3. Those are my favorite RD's. Old style hood
  4. I may be stupid. Hm May be? But what is the purpose of that mid frame little plow?
  5. It seems that Mack and International broke the mold in 1953 with their B models and R series IH's. These two models were the first models with non rounded fenders in the front. Both were successful. Seems as though there must have been some industrial espionage going on at the time. I believe that Mack won out due to their popular 673 diesel. Actually IH may have started the R model in 1952
  6. Any chance of a return of the E9 as he was head of engine development at Scania?
  7. Beginning to see the new American Industries Mack Granites on the road. Rt 2 & 395. Very nice.
  8. 864 in a lawnmower. Awesome
  9. Not a new concept. This set up has been used in airplanes since WW 2. Just hope they make it bullet proof. I guess Volvo has been using TC in Europe.
  10. How else could this common rail system have been designed for these engines if not under the valve covers. Granted fuel injection systems shouldn't leak but when they do it they shouldn't leak into the sump. Also why do the D 16 Volvos outsell the Mp 10's in Canada?
  11. Great job! You could name this truck "meat". Then you'd have meat and taters.
  12. Wasn't plant 4 the biggest plant?
  13. That 335 is sure crammed in there. You can definitely see why a Cummins wouldn't fit in a standard B 61.
  14. Best looking B 71 I ever saw.
  15. Smart move union people. The Mexicans were waiting. Hats off to Volvo. Boy that's kind of hard to say.
  16. I use a hyperdermic needle. Don't even have to take the lens cover off.
  17. I wonder what Gerosa would be buying now. There L's went to Marino Crane now Bernhardt. We have a tow company in town that has one of their small cab White 9000's out back rusting away.
  18. That 427 should easily move those cars. Nice job.
  19. The problem Oso2 as I see it is that there unfortunately will never be any more Mack trademarks or White for that matter.
  20. The only problem with Detroit's is that- that asshole Penske let the horse out of the barn to the Germans.
  21. Schiavone scrap yard used mostly Mack's. As I remember Blakeslee had a Scania dump about the time they had the Cat powered superliner tri axle lowboy. Back in the 80's Love that St Johnsbury F model. Those were the days.
  22. I bet it would cost 50,000 to un bling that thing.
  23. Welcome back KS
  24. Mack's are usually pretty good mudders depending on how the rear end is set up. Should be able to kick that up another 50 HP without too many dollars. A 2000 e-7 should pretty much be bullet proof.
