There is a MH613 Liberty E9 at the Winchester ATHS show. I took a few pictures of it. I will try to get the VIN on Saturday.

Seen a few like this one. I believe the original color was gray.

Oh no! another leak?

Where is everyone? MHfred is here but have not seen any other BMT members. The weather was great on Thursday and forecast is for more nice weather on Friday and Saturday. Lots of interesting trucks (Macks and non-Macks) here already. Word is lots more will show up today. Never saw so many Dodge trucks in one spot. Fred and I will be taking pictures today and Saturday.

I replaced the tractor protection valve and air tank drain valves. While I was in the "mood" I replaced the trailer air lines and gladhands. The air does not leak down overnight like it did peviously. As I posted before, I am done "searching" for air leaks....unless I hear air leaking. On to the next item on my loonnnggg list.

I agree. Keep it as built from Mack. It is worth more with the V8. Sell this one and look for another one.

Yea, make sure you bring your lunch. About the only thing I can burn is the clutch.

Lititz is located in Lancaster County in SE PA (east and south of Harrisburg). http://www.lititzpa.com/directions.php

Welcome to BMT. Nice looking IH. I can't remember when I saw one like that. The Sightliner looks similar. What engine is in it?

Yes, like before....meet at Watt's tent at 12Noon on Saturday. I may not be at the photo since I HAVE to be in Altoona by 3:30p.

I am ready to roll on Thursday morning. Let's do a BMT photo on Saturday at 12Noon. Anyone familiar with the grounds to suggest a meeting place? I will be staying at the Stupid 8 on Millwood Pike. BTW, never did find a generator.

Did anyone attend this auction? I did not....Mrs. Farmer had other plans for me.

Maybe I should "open the box" on the MH and take a look inside.

Liquid $hit can get intense but to a farmer it is the smell of money. Most farmers in my area spread it in the spring before planting and in the fall after the crops are harvested. The BTO farmers use big honey wagons pulled by either a farm tractor or semi-tractor with big wide lugged tires that you can hear a mile away. When I rented the farm one of the stipulations is NO LIQUID $hit. There is a paper mill in Roaring Spring (less than 2 miles from the farm). Years ago before air quality regulations, it smelled like $hit and there was a yellow scum on the side of the houses. Now there is not much odor. Nothing smells better than freshly mowed alfalfa or clover.

Denny - You will have a special place at the show. Dave Igou or Doug Maney can give you the details.

I am surprised a youngin' like you does not have Facebook. But I am more interested in the second sentence.

Contact your dealer to order a copy of the parts manual. Be prepared, they aren't cheap. I found shop manuals on eBay. If you contact the Mack Museum, they will send you a bunch of information. It will take some time but be patient. A "nice" $ donation is in order if you ask the Museum for information.

I agree. This is why I thought it was for the engine air.

Perhaps a Superliner hood? I remember the ad for the Legend. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the explanation.

Pre cooling of the engine inlet air?

Yes, trucks, tractors, equipment, refrigerator, and freezer.

I agree...57-61 era. Here is a better look at the IH...
