  1. Name: Mack B61T (1959) Date Added: 28 November 2009 - 11:31 AM Owner: B61TENDT711 Short Description: None Provided View Vehicle
  2. 2 things way they still use them. 1. They cheap, not good not bad just plan $ wise cheap. 2. If it ain't broke don't fix it, why R & D a new Prime mover if the old ones are still dong the work . . . Mike
  3. Yes they got some new iron up for testing, AM-General is doing a Joint venture set of Rigs. New Rig's: http://www.generaltacticalvehicles.com/ To me it looks like a blend of AM-Generals Humvee and IHC/OshKosh's M-rap So, if all goes well it be AM-G & Mack supplying the military its Rig's and that is one tough pair to beat Mike
  4. Sweet, So Mack has got plenty of variant's set up and stand at the ready to make any truck into what ever truck they need . . . 4 truck's becomes 8 truck's or 12 trucks Mike
  5. Very, they not only bought the heavy haul tractor they took 3 other truck as well . . . Is back in the Military Lots of engine power and Low gear ratio's they are set to walk the line with pride as they once did Mike
  6. I'm guessing by the lack of response the New Mil-Spec Mack tractor went no place . . . Mike
  7. I'm guessing by the date this was started the buy out was way back in 2007 and thsi tread made it right up to 8/2010 so i'm guessing there was lots to be said ? . . . Mack is entering 2011, so that's 4 model years so far with volvo and they are still around . . . Can i ask what might be a stupid question ? . . . why did Mack sell out ? Mike
  8. Its been a while since the introduction of the New Mack Mil-Spec truck any word weather or not Uncle Sam bought it ? or will be testing it ? to possibly buy it ? Mike
  9. Ya it was a funny moment in time . . . Mike
  10. I washed up my clothes, well in the process of taking the clothes from the washer to the dryer i noticed my Wallet at the bottom of the empty washer ! I guess i got clean credit now Mike
  11. Lawn care & snow removal . . . they do some light land scape work but its 85% lawn care . . . Mike
  12. I don't think the Mack will ever seen military action, best i can Tell the IHC's & Oshkosh's are beyond what Mack is offering at the current . . . Mack might be all done in the military if they don't step it up Mike
  13. Check this rig out: http://www.internationaltrucks.com/StaticFiles/internationalTrucks/Documents/Truck%20Detail/Military_5000MV.pdf what about that Mack truck ? Mike

  16. I called my old boss: Me-"what ya got going this summer would want my help i got had" old boss-"Grass ain't always greener ya know" Me- "I know and i knew" Old boss - " it took 3 guys to replace you i can't just fire them to hire you back tho i want to" Me - "if ya got enough work to add me then keep me in mind but do NOT fire guys to ReHire me" Old boss"Ok i got some bids in i'll let ya know if i have anything for ya" I did the walk of shame like a big boy hope it pays off . . . Mike
  17. Yea it really suck's . . . Mike
  18. They said it was year round gig, after snow removal is over they got other guys coming back good old bait and switch to me . . . At least i got a month's notice i guess, i got 3 city app's ready to be sent in monday morning . . . Mike
  19. I got informed Friday that by April 4th they will no longer be needing at work WONDERFUL ! Mike
  20. because i won't be able to haul with it . . . i I will have to tag it with these new "Historic Military Vehicle" plates which are more restrictive then F'in Collectors plate's . . . HMV = can only drive it to show's, meets or in parades or short trip operation for maintenance purposes . . . COL = can't drive in the month of Jan can't haul over 500lb's . . . This above truck and my Current MV the 1953 Studebaker M275 unregistered other then the "HMV" plates . . . My choices are: 1. parade / show. 2. yard/lawn decoration. 3. use it as a farm tractor. 4. Recycle it. Mike
  21. Well WI voted to BAN Military vehicles from the road road way's they can on be plated with Historic Military Vehicle plates and used for meets and parades . . . So that shoot this in the tail, it also means my 53' Stude M275er is now only worth scrap to me . . . Mike
  22. There was a Cab over 10ton model but that one you listed dose appear to be removed from a the M123/M125 version, Must have been a repower ? . . . I got my tail tore by some MV guys for calling it a 903 Mike
