I had a calendar from 1978 that had the three "liners" in it in this paint scheme and the January picture had all three, The Cruiserliner, Superliner & Valueliner lined up. I loved that pic!

Mike H should chime in on the model #'s but MH613 would be a tandem axle, Mack powered tractor, MH612 single axle Mack powered tractor, MH633 tandem w/Cummins, MH632 would be single w/Cummins & I believe MH653/MH652 would be Cat powered. I'm not certain that I am correct in everything here but the XX3 will be tandem axle & XX2 will be single axle.

Hey all, This is obviously not truck related but a very dear friend of mine, Becky is looking for her birth-mother as she was adopted shortly after birth. She is actually the person who took the pic of my tat that I use as my avatar just a couple days after I got it. I am posting this here because her adoptive parents believe that her mother may have been from Penna. She believes that her mothers last name may have been Stutsman (unsure of correct spelling). This is the message that she posted on Facebook along with her picture: "To all my FB friends and everyone who may share this post for me. I would first like to say thanks for the share because the more we share the more chances I may have of finding my birth Mother. I also want to add that I have been contemplating finding my Mother for about 10 years now. I am torn with the fact that back when this happened she was sent away by her family to an unwed mothers school so that there would be no shame in her family. I surely don’t want to disrupt her life now if she in fact never told her family now about me. I of course would love to see her just to see where I came from but I in no way want to hurt her or her current family. I would like her to know that I was adopted and raised by a wonderful, loving family who taught me family values, morals, honesty, to have a great work ethic and to stand up for what you believe in. They have also never kept from me that I was adopted and they are behind me 100% in looking for my birth Mother. I also want her to know that I do not hold anything against her because she really had no choice. If you think you may know my mother or have any information please email me at helpbeckyfindmom@gmail.com . Thank you and God Bless!!!" If those of you who live in Penna could also help share this it would mean the world to me. Becky & I have had each others back through our divorces as well as other problem times & good times as well. I attached her pic with the info that she does have as well as a pic of her and I on one of her visits back to Ft Wayne as she now lives in the Tampa, FL area. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give to Becky.

Mike, Do as the doctor's tell you. Last March my mom (in Indiana) and my dad (in Florida) both had surgery for preipheral artery disease. Both had the same basic procedure (by-pass of arteries in the left leg). Within days my dad was up & doing well by following the doctors orders. Dad quit smoking back about 1984 but still smokes cigars in the evening. Mom is still struggling to this day but she spends all day sitting on her ass in her kitchen playing solitaire & smoking cigarettes. Just a few weeks ago my dad scored a hole-in-one in one of his two weekly golf leagues. Mom is proud that the gangrene is almost gone but can hardly walk because she has refused to follow doctor recommendations to the point that shortly after surgery she was suppose to be going to the hospital to spend time in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber but she refused to get up before 8am so she could be there by 10am. Please, please follow doctor recommendations. Those guys seem to know what they're talking about.

That's not one of the kits. That appears to be part of a conventional KW Aerodyne bunk grafted onto the Cruiseliner.

Don't remember a lot of issues with the '03's but the '04's... Wow! Fan hubs, turbo's and camshaft's. Company that I grew up around is a mostly Mack fleet, has been since the 1970's. They purchased 50 new 2004 CX's. I was running the tow truck for the local Mack/Volvo dealer at the time. I towed 22 of those 2004's. One of them I towed for all 3 of the above reasons. Buy the time all was said & done Mack (corporate) purchased all 50 trucks back. The company purchased available Volvo's to replace the 2004's then Mack arranged for the dealership to take the Volvo's in on trade against 2005 & 2006 Mack's. I do know there were some turbo issues starting with 2001 Mack's and continuing for several years as well as some other things but nothing like what I seen with the 2004's.

a bit belated.. Happy Birthday!!! 25, hmm.... My 25th fell into that abyss of time that is really fuzzy that started around 16 & went until 30. I hope your's was a good one!

I think the biggest issue is the fact that once we get our license to drive it is ours as long as we can read an eye chart. We no longer need to take a test to renew in most states. Most jobs require remedial training of some sort from time to time but now driving is no longer a privilege but a right...

25 years of use with poor maintenance and to most people it is just a piece of machinery. I'm not surprised. It is sad though.

I don't know Mike... Maybe I should post the pic then everyone can decide for themselves if it is photoshopped or not!

I pulled this off of a Superliner at Central Truck Parts in Sylvania, OH several years ago and added it to the block heater plug on my Chevy. I thought that the "MACK" cover was discontinued for a plain cover. If this is the case then there is a chance that the org part # will supersede...

Because some ATHS members have Peterbilt's & those are strictly forbidden on Mike's property. Even though & have a picture of Mike wearing a Peterbilt hat @ Auburn in 2005....

Someone should wake Vinny & let him know there is a U Model picture posted in this thread!

Don't care what "the point" is, It's my money, I bought the car, I own it, I can do with it what I choose. This would be no different than when an owner posts a picture of his Superliner with a huge visor & front bumper. It's his truck, his money, etc. Everyone is allowed to have an opinion about a look, style, what have you but in the end the only person who has to be happy is the person spending the money. Do I like the big visor & bumper look? NO! Am I gonna run the guy off the forum because he likes it? NO! Everyone should feel free to voice his/her opinion but don't chastise those who feel different than you. That Corvette was built to be driven in 1978. Not to set, collecting dust for 35 years then to set forever, covered in dust in a museum. Corky Coker is huge on barn finds and leaving them "untouched" but he has also said when the time comes some of his (probably 100's) cars will be restored or become customs.

A lot of those vehicles caught my attention but the '78 Indy Pace Car 'Vette would have been my dream. Left parked inside the entire time. Yeah, it still would have needed a frame-off restro but damn would that be a car to have.

Wow Mike! I hope you are careful with those glasses when you are out in the sun, start grass fires with those!

Quicker turn around than I anticipated. 1987 1M2AR07YXHM009049 MH613

Parrish Leasing, out of Ft Wayne, IN use to have one. I drove it several times but lost track of it about 10 years ago. It was sold to a company in Lima, OH and beyond that I don't have a clue. I will however make an inquiry to see if by chance they still have a file on it & if they do it will have the VIN.

Hope you can get the money around, can't be many 1960 Trailmobile T4-02-22's left in this world!

Thanks George but at this point financially nothing is possible. I have actually had to liquidate my small collection of trucks. I'm in the fall back & regroup mode at this time. I missed a running CF that had been lightly cannibalized about 2 years ago that was only a couple miles away. I think 3250.00 would have bought the entire thing I could have removed the cab, parted it & scrapped the rest and made my money back. Entire apparatus ended up being scrapped.

I wish I had money, I'd make you an offer on the complete cab. I have a plan in my head for something but it will take a lot of money and will probably just remain my dream...

Many on this board post with our hearts as lovers of everything MACK not understanding that no matter what, not every truck can be saved. Everyone who posted on here would like to see every truck saved by someone although most of us, ourselves, are not in a position to do that.I believe that often what happens is that we tend to take out the frustration that we feel at not being able to save old iron on those who have the means to buy but don't do with their purchases what WE THINK should be done with them. Now that we have "the rest of the story" perhaps some will see this issue a little bit differently. As I looked at the pic's that were posted of the trucks, I looked in the background and seen other apparatus & I was sure that this was not the way you envisioned the outcome for these trucks. Sadly there is someone out there for every single useable part on these trucks but you, as a businessman, cannot afford to have your money hanging out there for what would probably be years so the best way for you to cut your loss is to "short sell" what you have, lick your wounds and move on. I hope you will give our forum another chance perhaps the next time you have a truck available there will be someone in place to purchase it and give it the good home we all would like to offer. This time it just wasn't meant to be.

Not a 4070B. It's a 4070.
