Picked up some used hardware. I do not know the condition of the parts. Perhaps they can be rebuilt or used as a core. Please refer to the attached images. Let me know if you need additional images. GRILLE SOLD - Grille is from a F model. No dents but a few fins are slightly bent but nothing major. Grille needs to be refinished. I am open to reasonable offers for these parts. Prefer pickup at the farm in PA but can deliver to Gerhart's, Prefer not to ship these heavy parts. I will be posting additional parts/images in the coming weeks. Thanks!

Yes, many manufacturers started "mixing" US fasteners with metric fasteners in engines and vehicles in the mid 1970s. There were a few that used Metric heads on US threaded bolts. Talk about a cluster.

I heard rumors that some people on BMT were inquiring about me. Well contrary to what some may think...I AM still alive and kicking. So you can dismiss the idea of finding the farm and "raping" my MH parts. BTW, still looking for NOS grille parts. I needed to take a "mental health" break from BMT and several other things. I think this f'in winter has taken its toll on me mentally. I am sick and tired of the COLD and SNOW. I spent most of the winter driving from OH to PA and back making sure everything was okay at both places. Then there is my mother (took a turn for the worse the past several weeks but on the road to recovery). Of course because of the weather I did NOT get anything thing accomplished or even started. Now that the weather is FINALLY turning more "spring-like" I am trying to complete some winter projects and now added to the list are all the normal spring projects. Along with a mental health break, I have been busy "adding more irons to the fire". I am helping with the local ATCA chapter (Keystone) planning the summer show (August 16-17) in Martinsburg, PA (only 5 miles from the farm). Someday I might learn to "notch back" and get a few items off the list instead of adding to the list. I thought when I retired I would have more time to enjoy my hobbies, etc. but NO!!!!!! I was in Nashville last week attending the Technology and Maintenance Council annual meeting and plan to be in Louisville for MATS (Thursday morning thru Friday noon). As I stated before....MATS turns into a "zoo" on Friday afternoon and Saturday so I am out of there after lunch on Friday. So in a nut shell...I am still alive but busier than a one armed paper hanger. I will check-in occassionally but perhaps only to look at pics of Winfall wimmin and Macks. If anyone wants to contact me....use my personal email address posted in my profile. Take care everyone and thanks for the concern, Farmer Ken

Put my name on a replacement Level III or IV MH interior....gray preferred. P.S. and new chrome grille sections too. CHEAP!!!

Not you. Sent you a PM.

Didn't we cover the Mack ownership previously in other threads? Do we have to continually bitch and moan about Volvo and Mack? Can we just move on to talking about Mack trucks and their preservation. Otherwise I will be moving on.

MH non-sleeper - CA60 MH sleeper - CAS62

Maybe it had "celebrity" butts in it or in someone's butt?

Relisted MH picture. BUY NOW price is $49.99 plus $25 shipping. Still not worth it in my opinion. But Christmas is coming...hint hint. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151233314018?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Not the same formulation as 15W-40 Mobil Delvac conventional oil. Full Synthetic typically uses Group IV base stock, non-syn either Group II or Group III base stocks and typically results in different chemistry/formulation.

Are you using 15W-40 weight oil? If so, there is a reason your engine is using oil (worn rings/liners and/or valve guides, external leaks). There is no oil fix for mechanical wear. How many miles since overhaul?

Nice! Is it for sale?

Yep, Cresson mountain. The exit at the top is Summit. It is where old route 22 crosses the new 22. If you get off at Summit and go east about one (1) mile is Cresson Ridge Diesel, an old Mack dealer. There is also an old truck stop next to CRD. Can't remember the name but it is closed.

Nice pics. The Hollidaysburg - Duncansville sign looks familiar. Were you coming down Cresson mountain headed East on Route 22?

What a waste of electrons.

Martin's Famous Potato Rolls; Chambersburg, PA (images taken around 2008).... My MH is the one on the left in the last pic - taken 2002.

Carl, I see the problem.....a kakakaaa orange tractor (using the term tractor loosely) pushing a yellow blade.

Black grille looks okay. Hmmm...

My 1984 Honda CB650 Nighthawk 650. Gerhart's 1984 MH613 with E9.

A 1962 H67T 673P duplex. When I bought the truck around 1990, it was a short wheelbase tractor w/fifth wheel. I had the frame stretched and installed an 18' flat bed to haul my restored 1962 Cockshutt 570 Super. I sold the H to Dennis Campbell. Not sure if he still has it.

steak and bj day?
