There's a MACK dealer in Jersey that did me a big favor last summer when I had break down on the road with one of my Freightliner's and he helped me get her up and running! Well I just might buy a new tractor from them and it's something that I often do to keep my dealer honest so it's not that I am unhappy with Freightliner or my dealer. So here is my question what MACK will be able to keep up with my 470 to 575 Detroit's and have a cab like the Coronado or the 4900-4700 Western Stars?? We still run my R every day and at one time I had 10 Mack's but have not bought one since 1993 (CH) so what motor, cab, trans, and also anyone with one of the newer Mack's can tell me how they are treating you? My transmission is mostly the Eaton 10-c thanks BULLHUSK

They might be a turd......... but we had one in a Brockway back when I hauled sand and gravel. The ol' boy that drove it said, "yeah I wear ear plugs, but I can do 72mph uphill, downhill, loaded, or empty". And that was with 154,000lb MI trains. Oh, yeah, the sound of one of those twin six's will put any 350 chevy to shame.

I agree guys, it'd be great longer with sleeper.

I think it would be a fun piece of history to have and/or play with.

The ol boy was right! If you kept that motor @ 18-2100 you could run with or pass just about any think! And let me say this, yes we put oil in the motor an maybe more than a Cat or Cummins, but on a Jersey night like tonight with a good set of battery's it will start!! An hell it had too cause that's what towed all of the non "jimmies "

Any Brockway's Mike?

I know I'll get lynched,but that would look so sweet with 4 more feet of frame and a polished Mercury bunk

Mike, For some reason all those NY State tractors are short!! Even the Brockways 360U's that we had at Colonial Sand & Stone was so short that when you opened the door to get out you could step on the front drive tires!!

Been using Double Coins (China) for about two years now and had one fail and they replaced it! Still using US tires on the front's

So "Medium" (age 9, soon to be 10) comes up to me at the beginning of the game and says "Hey Dad, what are we gonna do if the Patriots win?"

I kinda shrug my shoulder and say "I dunno, what CAN we do?"

He pauses for a minute and then says ....."Start a bar fight?"

I blame gearhead, Hatcity, Otherdog, Freighttrain, 41Chevy, Mike69Mackman, Slpwlkr and JT for this.

Thank God the kid didn't say "Ha Dad, what are we gonna do with this 8-71 Detroit two stroke I just bought?? ".....

I would love to see that Hell Cat motor in Dick Landy's light weight 65 Dodge AFX Car himmmm whata think Paul? About 3,000lbs lighter then the new Challenger

BULLHUSK

The new 767 maybe? Anyway the whole plane is made from Carbon Fiber makes Ya think?

The v6-53 was a good transplant for any old or newer truck with a gas motor, sure it did not have the power of a 318 or even a 6V-71 but it gave you the RPM'S and more power then the gas motor would give you, and that's a fact! It also gave you many more years of reliable service.

Where is bullhusk? This has his name all over it

yes I see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like a rip off of the Titan/Trident/Superliner. It does have an advantage though. Cummins engine offerings.

Is thinkin White Road Boss

So what ever happened to the Rep. party not funding Obammy care??????????

Did Jimmy Hoffa's wife or a family member have a Mack dealership in Chicago or Detroit back in the 50's or 60's??

BULLHUSK

You can put a trolley brake on the outside of the trailer so u can release the brakes on the tractor an trailer after u pull your cable tight, but u have to get back into the tractor to set your brakes after the box is on the trailer and then release the trolley

,

Oh wow thanks....where they good trucks

You gotta drive one in a snow storm, an then u will know y the state and counties used them for plowing! I drove my 361 tandem dump M/T in a snow storm last year and that truck tracked and held the road like a summer day! A well balanced truck, not like the Autocars that were nose heavy when u went into a turn and the truck kept going straight

This would make a good glider for someone with a beat up cab an frame! A nice 285Maxi with a 6 speed, it looks like 44 rears? I also think the ratio on those rears are very low they only did about 35-40 mph

BULLHUSK PS that tank is alum. so you scrap that an thers 1/2 you cost

I talked to someone this morning who does small dump truck work using a forklift, the first thing that came to mind was your crane! So is it still for sale?

BULLHUSK

Paul

There are two places that I know of that might have what u need, one is Devino truck parts

in Newark NJ and the other is Adleman's truck parts in Ohio USA both ship over seas! Just Google them for info and ## I'm not sure but I think Timken and Rockwell are the same and now are Meritor
