  1. Jack Jansen has 711 in his red'n yellow DM. He probably must have parts list.
  2. When I was buying my R there was a pair of rear axles with. They were stayed for a while at the place the truck was parked. After the day I got the truck I thought to myself to bring home these axles and some other spares by Mack. It would be nice to make a trip for some hundreds km with Mack, I thought. Some time later we took off a 5th wheel and built wooden flat bed for temporary use. Last Sunday I got my way up. A couple of days before I have got a contact to the man who had one more the same truck as I have a pair now. He took it into metal recycling due to a cranckshaft issue. He said me he had nothing of it at the moment but a sleeper. I came to interest and we have discussed the price. That way I removed my point of destination for plus 100 km - 700 in all. Kept the sleeper, went 100 back and than kept the axles. Stayed for a night at my Mack's previous owner talking truck stories and went back home crossing a clouse fog most the way. Not too dramatic in all though this was my first long way run with a truck. Here's a set of shots from rainy Russian roads.
  3. It was looked so.
  4. Sorry Mike about happened.
  5. I really don't like this joke.It's funny but not for personnality. Don't remember who started it for the first time, I'm shure it's not good. Vlad
  6. Too sorry to read this. Your logging truck looks very nice on net pictures.
  7. Oh hell, I like it. And for 7500 also. Must to stop myself one more time.
  8. Many lovely pieces of old metal. Thank you for sharing!
  9. I like EHU's and this one is not exception. It's very good they keep it inside.
  10. Well, if I'll see anywhere on a picture "Big Mack Trucks.com" I would know that you saw it before me
  11. Colurs of the background are fantastic! Macks ? Macks are out of comments !
  12. Did YOU add ".com" or it was on it?
  13. Thanks Tom!
  14. Don't know what to do.Professional scratch builder required. To make END engine and 2-3 kinds of suspensions. Italery makes Superliner but what the happyness from the truck that has correct hood-cab only. Front axle maybe. I'm thinking now (last years) the only way is to work this problem completely. From the modelling point of view Macks are not so difficult when you have 4-5 cabs, 3-4 engines, pair gearboxes and Camelback plus Air ride.
  15. They had a day cab in stock but it was discontinued. I wanted first to order 2 kits for that reason but stoped myself due to the price.
  16. ...nothing noteworthy. B61 mixer is toooooo noteworthy!
  17. Young superdogs!
  18. How close is a C cab to an L ? Is the central (removable) part of a foor differs only or a floor under seats also ? And how about a cowl in a relation to a dog house ?
  19. Steve, by the way, when I wrote you I always wanted to wright "Steve" but I noted "Stev" in a place of your name. Please clean this conclusion for not making conclusion by me or maybe anybody else calling you a wrong name. On my mind round filters look better on a rounded corner R's as they are. Vlad
  20. The engine seems to me too little. But the price is good. Whole the truck looks very well. And the concave cab (Am I right?)
  21. Interesting to learn more about your EH. Was it originaly painted Olive drab or any commercial color?I have army NM with 707 military version EY engine. It's mono ignition overhead thermodyne engine. And it has Mack 5 speed direct top box without any splitter. Tyres are 10.00-22 but it's the army truck with low road speed. Ratio is about 7.33 though with Timken-Detroit military pattern all wheel drive. Vlad.
  22. Very good looking Superliner. Alloys and brand new 24,5s Can only imagine how much it would be with a E9 and a sleeper.
  23. I have to cut the roof in the middle and put a slice of plastic in. Next fill and sand. The windshield now is a vacuum-formed part you can see at the second shot. But it was made to fit the original opening.
  24. Nice looking machine. Solid and restorable. Welcome! Vlad.
