  1. Mr. Hancock. Great article. Explains torque rise well. Sounds like the 365 MP-7 would be a good fit.
  2. The new Scania man is off to a rocky start.
  3. What is a good definition of torque rise and why is it important?
  4. There were a lot more B-53's produced than B-57's
  5. Since I originally meant to start the B-53 thread as a B-57 thread. There may be some interest in a B-57 thread. I know there were some cool looking B-57 mixers.
  6. I see those rare endangered species Canadian geese in the background.
  7. He basically said nothing as far as new competative products going forward. I find it odd that he said that Mack deserves a larger share of the maket. I would think that you would have to earn that market share by being more competative than the next guy. Maybee his shirt says it all. Hope I am wrong.
  8. When I started this thread I meant B-57 not 53. My one brain cell was facing the wrong direction.
  9. Back in the 50's and 60's in Illinois B-61's dominated the construction companies. Hendricksons, Autocars IH R-210-30's and White 9000's took up the slack. Can't say I ever remember a B-81
  10. I think a six wheel drive B-53 cement mixer was the last B model to roll down the assembly line.
  11. Save it. Not that many Whites left.
  12. Mexico here we come. Union members take heed.
  13. Ozinga buying Macks now or is that an ex Meyer.
  14. Now that I think of it White was getting into the mixer market with the non Autocar cab 9000. Maybe the B53 offered a lighter chasis weight to compete with the White 9000. I know Material Service out of Chicago had a bunch of those White 9000's. B models still are in service. White 9000's are Japaneese cars.
  15. B-53 were usually built heavy for dumps or mixers, some all wheel drive. I wonder why this model was chosen as a heavy duty chasis when they already had heavy B's such as 60 and 80 series. Usually the smaller the first number the lighter the chasis.
  16. I wonder if Renault is on a looser leash than Mack
  17. 1-3 mpg for sure
  18. There were a lot more single axle tractors with dump trailers back then.
  19. Dam those were nice trucks. Great job!
  20. Back in the seventies a Mack executive said the LT was the finest truck on the west coast. What happened?
  21. KS individual heads gives it away. Is there any chance of Scania V8's comming to the US for truck install? I know they are here for marine and industrial.
  22. What were the major problems with the early mack v8's 864-865-866. I see a lot of these wer replaced with Cummins or inline Macks. I know one was the early fuel injection system with one plunger. It beat itself to death. 864-255 HP 865-Maxidyne 325 HP 866-375 HP
