67RModel

No affiliation. Just passing along a pretty neat and tidy old R Model. One owner and 5,500 original miles. Frame rails and chassis look brand new underneath. Would make someone a real nice local work truck or a good starting point for a collector / hobby truck. 4VE6 275hp Maxidyne and 5 speed. 1988 Mack RD690S Cab and Chassis Online Government Auctions of Government Surplus | Municibid

I'll say that I tried to use "off the shelf" parts a couple years back to convert Rotochambers on a 1962 B81 to 30/30, 24/24, and even 20/24 chambers. Offset slack adjusters, rotating the spiders, didn't matter. I determined it to be impossible without a bunch of "design" and fabricating to relocate the chambers to a more inboard location on the axle housing. The only solution I determined would "easily" work was to obtain single acting, pull type, Haldex Maxibrake chambers ($$$$$$$$$$) and mount them to the frame on the opposite side of the slack adjuster as the Rotochamber and connect them to the slack adjusters with grade 80 chain. This would still require plenty of thinking, planning, and some fabrication to make happen but I figured was much less involved then trying to reposition 30/30 cans on an axle not originally set up as such. I never did undertake the project and have since sold the truck. Haldex | MAXIBRAKE® R-Series Pull Type Spring Brakes

Read through this entire thread. It will explain it as well as the E7 LDA system. I went down this rabbit hole a few years back

No affiliation. Saw browsing FB Marketplace. The listing is short on information but I assume its a Mack V8 with the twin sticks. Always liked the look of a 700 series R model. Mack R700 - Commercial Trucks - Charleston, West Virginia | Facebook Marketplace | Facebook

They are a gaited breed developed in the Confederate Southern US back in the days of slavery. They were developed for plantation owners to be able to cover long distances, relatively quickly, with a very smooth ride. They have a unique 4 beat "running walk" that is very smooth and easy to sit. It actually looks funny they way they move.

Attention @mowerman. Not too far from Reno.....Would look real good next to your DM 🤣

I figured this one was worth of posting here due to its scarcity. Looks to be a near perfect all original example. Perfect double frame and overall preserved by the Nevada climate. Claims to have 38,000 original miles. It was probably a fire company or some government entity owned most of its life. Turbo 8V71 with a 15 speed. based on the door tag it looks like it was the 12th one made. Really nice Detroit powered 700 series R model IMO.... 1975 MACK FR700 Online Auction | Amargosa Valley, Nevada | AuctionTime

Well I know next to nothing about E9s. However, in E6 and E7 speak the M indicates the engine is a Maxidyne high torque rise version of the engine.

An ounce of gold has ballooned to $4,075. The same ounce of gold has risen in price by about 22% in just the last month and a half. That should tell you something.......

The Jewish population of NYC is reported to be approximately 1.25 million. The Muslim community is reported to be about 900,000. So roughly only 300,000 "Jewish votes" "matter". The other 7,300,000 people in NYC probably don't care about a land border dispute 5,500 miles away as it pertains to who their city mayor is. My guess is they are probably more concerned about social, political, and economic issues within NYC and align more so with Mamdani on those things than any other candidate. an·ti-Sem·ite /ˌan(t)ēˈseˌmīt,ˌanˌtīˈseˌmīt/ noun noun: antisemite a person who is hostile to or prejudiced against Jewish people. OPINION: I haven't been watching Mumdani's every word and action. With that said I haven't seen or heard of him being hostile or prejudiced toward Jewish people. I don't think being pro Palestinian automatically makes one an antisemite. I think it is possible to be critical of the Israeli government and not be an antisemite. Mumdani said yesterday: “Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities”

What have you been looking at? 😁. Your in New England. Just about any vocational Mack older than 2007 (maybe newer) will have those axles under it. There has to be a litany of of those trucks still running around up there. You asking about an axle and carrier design with at least an 80 year legacy and have been essentially unchanged over that timeframe. Of course there are pros and cons when comparing them to other axles, however, generally speaking they are probably some of the most robust axles available without getting into specialty stuff. Of course this is a Mack forum so the information may be biased but I have never known anyone to dislike that setup for heavy duty work.....

Honestly something like that because of the condition, essentially no miles/use, and scarcity would probably bring "big money" here in the states for someone's collection that has deep pockets. The guy who is the high bidder will be motivated because it is essentially a "new truck" and will say to himself "where would you find another like it?". Hard to say what it would bring but my guess is if properly advertised through a reputable auction house that deals in antique vehicles and has all the documentation with it maybe $15,000 - 20,000. A run of the mill Astro that has been well used but is still in presentable condition mechanically and cosmetically would probably sell for anywhere between $4,000 - 10,000 depending. Too many variables to say. I will note the Detroit probably makes it more desirable. The 2 stokes have made a resurgence in popularity here I think just because of the sound they have and the "cool factor" of there not being anything like that made anymore.

$20,000,000,000. Where is that money coming from? Trump to Ask China to Buy Soybeans. Why It’s a Hard Sell. "U.S. farmers have been losing share to Brazil and Argentina as a result of the tariffs. That hurts, especially because the U.S. has said it would allow Argentina to tap a $20 billion swap line and floated the possibility the U.S. would even buy the government’s debt."
