Good income. I haven't see Super's with a sleeper and V8 on truckpapers. Although I looked not hard. Vlad

I'm hoping now you know my country better than me. As we take to account top-secret objects we have a chance to find anything in both countries.

Very nice pictures ! (Scrappers are awesome) I like rocky background probably because I'm living in the flat not interesting area. On my mind it's good both to travel to my own or the other country. As for me I'm enjoing to drive over France and Germany. That's a way to research and proub other's people reality, a chance to understand my own life better. More, I'm shure this is not a main reason of I'm traveling or doing my job. The reason is to like the things I'm doing, just to do what you like to or what you want to ! Vlad

I made many of because I thought If should be interesting to you guys. I know now I have done the job that wasn't missed and it's good. So will go on as far as I meet anything fresh. Thanks for the comments to everybody who was enjoed

Dave, You told much about Ozark and just nothing about landing zones for incubating Vlad

That's quite a story ! I laughed longer than I laughed seeing pictures. The main pride of the vehicle is that it runs (by the word - is it runs??)

Joe, thank you. It's just a specific of terminology. Here we used to say "two-axler" or "three-axler" counting fronts and rears together. Or "full wheel drive" in a chance of. We also calling non-driven axle as "lazy axle" or just "lift axle".

Just no comments ! Olive, thanks alot for sharing them all ! I saw some of the trucks Mike posted in the gallery although whole the collection ... Vlad

Little addition to the story. On my back ride I met two Macks. There were blue MH and brown Vision. Too sorry can't shoot them riding in a helmet with both hands steering. It was a very good statistic seeing two Macks by the distance of 1200 km. Vlad

Thank you for the link. I saw the full-colored answer for the question that interested me during the years. As you can see the truck(s) need repaint and I'm thinking about color scheme. Can't say I like original view best of all but want to keep it at least in general. So the company's webside is for me too useful. Vlad

My God !! So nice looking My God ! So nice H67 pictures in the beginning of the tread ! Looking this chicks I'm thinking how pretty old trucks are !! By the word - why do you (Americans) say "twin screws" ? I know early Macks with a warm type rear but later kinds have gears inside. So what are screws? Vlad

Nice pictures !

Happy B-day!

Good looking restorable H67. Can't keep my easy looking the pictures. Because I like twin screws ! Vlad

Fantastic spicy report(s), thanks a lot for posting

Thank you Olive, glad you like that all to see That farms were a product of Soviet economy, and worked mostly successfull. During the "Perestroyka" financing was finished. Privat farmers tryed to work but the government fixed terrible taxes and low trade in prices. There were no credits that were promised and business came dead. Now people who living agreecultural areas are mostly provide self consuming farming or working in some other places, on city constructions, transport e t.c. Or just drinking Vodka.

I know only these trucks (4 were imported together in early 90's) are from some Canadian trucking company. I saw other pictures of Macks with the same colors but don't know exsactly what the company. So I'm in interest.

Hi Pavel, I still have my teeth free from flying insect

Yes, Randyp, the weather is good now. We haven't extremely hot but 20-27 celsias and a lot of sun. Rains are 1-2 times aweek, it's maybe not excellent to relax near the lake although perfect to work. On Macks My jacket was a full collection of mosquitoes (thanks Pavel), flys, grasshoppers and different kinds of night butterflys.

And the last shot I made from my hous' window

Sorry guys, please wait, I'm finishing. By the original plan I wanted to put my byke on the Mack rear end (try to put on) and go back home. But... First I must to make papers. There were needs to make title marking in the office and make new enshurance. The problem comes to make enshurance in that little town. They could, but..., but..., but... That way I stoped to owerwrite the title because of lost of ex-owner enshurance. He was ready to run Mack to my house himself and we came to that solution. Taking to account strange way to fit the bike onto the truck's frame and my neither Mack driving skill. Of course I tryed to drive my new toy about some 20 kilometers around that little city although by local road and without bad fixed bike on the back. So had to back home and recieved Mack only last Wednesday. Although successfull. Note the outhouse near the bus stop, atomic power plant on the other side of the river and wasted collective farms.

We gethered near the point where IH was for sale. The paper work was done relatively quick. IH of 2003 with Cat 14 under the hood was of triple price as I must to pay for Mack. The guy had a problem to collect the value he need to. In the end I gave him the Mack price plus extra 50% price as the debt. He promised to give me it back during a year ... Let's see By the word, we discuss it some monthes and spent monthes also to find relatively good truck for the money. Next 50 kilometers were done to the point of Mack parking. Here are shots from that local road. Note the bridge ower the big river of Don and the burned forest.

Next morning I covered extra 60 km and met a guy I was going to meet. He was a Mack owner. He was a Mack owner for last some years. He is a former Mack owner now because we bought International for him. But not so quick.

...I started the engine of my Honda bike on Friday evening 7 pm after the end of the work and went direction South. The weather was nice although I met hard traffic on a Moscow ring I have 15 km gone. Next traffic was also 15 km on the highway I headed. Just a Friday evening. I spent 30 minutes for 15 kilometers, probably must to spend 2 hours as by a car. You can see that highway at the point of near 100 km from Moscow. It's a very good road here in Russian, some parts are under constraction because it goes to Sochy, the Olimpic city 2014. I covered 500 km in 5 houres including traffic and 30 minutes fuel stop. Came in a little motel near 0.00 am. There was dark and lots of moscits jamed onto my jacket. Voked up next morning and ...

The work is going, it means everything is good. Keep moving!
