  1. It's such a shame to see. Stuff like this comes straight out of the pit...
  2. Shoot my Trail 70s all I need in a daily, at least for checking cows and going to the hardware store. Plus $1.50 in gas per week!
  3. I've got a pdf manual for the E9 I can send you if that's what you're looking for. I will have to split it up into at least 4 parts to send it though Just PM me if you need it
  4. Lots of time and talent to make those old books but man they are captivating. All the kids stuff now is made by AI so we will never see illustrations like that again! My favorite book as a kid was probably Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel as well as go dog go. They say whatever art style you read/watched at a kid is how your imagination and dreams work as an adult, I feel bad for the kids today.
  5. Those Brits had some crazy engines in there day, that Napier engine and the Mack v8 combined into one rig must have been a sound! DeLaval made lots of dairy equipment as well, not sure if they are still around.
  6. Helicopter could just fly above it and the prop wash should be able to knock it down
  7. I've started to see them around here but they are spray drones, huge things but I'd like to use one for house work. Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs Guy) shot a drone that was spying on him 10 years ago or so. How are we to know if they are spy drones or heck even a bomb on em
  8. Oh and don't shoot at them!
  9. I didn't see anything about it either except in the newspaper. This day will live in infamy and I hope it will never be forgotten
  10. Another thing to check before starting is try to take what's left of the exhaust pipe so you can spin the turbo with your hands. Make sure it spins freely and clean out any critter crap that may have gotten in there, look over the intake good and make sure nothing got in there too. As stated previously take off the turbo oil feel line, oil it up, and you should be good to go.
  11. I was going to say something similar but I remembered the guy looks on here lol. Hard to beat the short wheelbase "look" and if your going to make a Mack look like a Peterbuilt then you've missed the point.
  12. No not this perticular truck. I'm just remembering all that was wrong with our Mh cabover after sitting a few years outside.
  13. Glad you got it out of there! A few more years with those pine needles and there would have been nothing left of that truck. Your brake and throttle pedal might be stuck so I would spray some stuff on those asap.
  14. What a find! I hope he keeps it looking pretty stock. Great explanation of the differences between the different Superliners as well.
  15. They seek to destroy all the beauty that's left in the world. Those old straight 6 motors from Jaguar are some of the most beautiful ever put into an automobile
  16. I've always wondered about the purple people eater engines, seemed like they could have made them work if given a few more years. I can attest the smaller engines they had In combines are great! They had enough power and are very fuel efficient for what they are, seems like they'd make a great pickup motor.
  17. Glad to see everyone had good food! We had turkey and oyster stuffing, the hunting after was awesome too! Tons of quail and even a few pheasants, haven't seen them around here in years.
  18. If you're looking for cool and rare maybe try a Diamond T. I saw this one at an auction the other day, the first one I've ever been around. Wow they look and feel well made! I don't know what It sold for but if I would have stayed I might have "accidentally" bought it
  19. Wow I've never seen something like that! A few ranchers around here use military truck in winter for water haulage but the farmers seem to shy away from them. Probably not going to haul very much very fast with an LTL or B series but they would still look cool. The 60s International grain trucks have the best sealed cab (from dust at least) in my experience. Good luck!
  20. Off topic a bit but since this tread is about Cruisliners has anyone seen this image? Promotional stunt? I found it last night and thought it was cool
  21. Like this? https://www.truckpaper.com/listing/for-sale/19966389/1926-mack-ac-stake-trucks They don't come up for sale very often
  22. The Mack Mh 4x4 used by UPS is the only truck that I can think of that used a front drive steer axle and I believe Mack developed some sort of special clutch just for the front wheel drive unit. Here's the post that has more details on that:
  23. I once saw a spec book for one of those Magnadyne engine but I didn't pick it up unfortunately. Point gap should be around .015-.020 on most engine, a business card is what I use since it's just about the right thickness. I'm not even sure what brand of ignition Mack used Do you have any pictures of the engine? Lots of the small parts have to be cross referenced.
  24. That is awesome! They should make the truck the team mascot!
