one of my dreams to have a tandem B80 series or a single axle b73 or B75. someday haha

looks like an early one. never seen a triplex or quad box with the auxillary on the right except in the smaller TRQ77 series in B42's. i guess if you were in australia it would be ok?

seen the small version in a B42. recently came across a B81 carcass that had a 14 speed suad box shifting plate and the quad box was laying there.

theres the virgin B613LT. top left pic in that last set of pictures. the green one all faded right next to the brownish superdog.

anyone notice the B87 that was next to that big B81 Wrecker? it had a triple frame and looks like someone like Pg Adams made all new frame rails and crossmembers for it. frame was straight as an arrow and had all new rails. also think it has a newer set of 65000 rears in it.

that greenish L cab is a B75 or B73. def has b model frame rails, crossmembers and battery boxes.

would love to have that B73 myself. wonder if the hood is there for it. they are about impossible to find.

always pisses me off to see a B75 or B73 or LTL all done up and thy go and put a damn Paccar bumper on it! ugh!

i noticed your G model saturday Mike when it was pouring out,my brother went to roll the driver window up for you and realized there wasnt much there haha. it was parked by the main gate then.

Yup, noticed that R model with low miles! wonder why they never used it? the Green and Red single axle B model with the factory roadranger was about 5 trucks down from that R model . believe it was Frank Maltesta's. was pretty sweet. looked like it was tagged at one time and they cut it off and made it a single axle. was also a double frame single axle with the serial number B61T. must have been pretty rare to have a doubleframe single axle tractor? i have seen single axle B61 and B42X's with double frames but never a T. any info Mike? did u see the B with the roadranger? i crawled right under it and saw it had motor mounts that bolted to the four bolts on the engine bell housin and frame mounts that mounted to the front spring hanger where a B42 would.Also never realized there were so many B80 series trucks still alive. put Macungie to shame, must have been at least 35 or 40 B80 series Macks at the show. Also did everyone check out the Last Superdog? now owned by Gary Mahan , use to be Yawarski's. now its painted orange and looks sweet. was a lot of Superdogs at the show also.

theres my truck, second column, fourth pic from the bottom next to my cousins. mine 711 with a triplex and 4.00 gears, his 237 with double over 18 speed and 4.28 gears. had her up to 78mph on the mass pike til we saw the blue lights ahead o us had a car pulled over haha. the Cohenno charcoal gray and red B model was sweet also. talked to him, really nice guy. did the whole truck in bout 7 months. made his ow bumper and get this, his own vent windows out of stainless! made a pattern and formed the channel around it and put new seals in. i told him he had something there!

402's had flathead 402's in them like B42's. 410's had 413/414's in them. still have a brand new 413 complete in our garage out of my B61 someone repowered. thought the number for a scania was a 411 or 401. not sure.

left around 2 this afternoon. had enough of the rain. rained all the way back to albany ny . had a good time thursday and friday and sorry vinny no u models, was a few DM800SX's tho. the Comforti Dm was also there. seen Mike H once but never got a chance to say hi. kinda sad. did stop and have a few beers with Doug the Outlaw Fetterly tho. was a lot of nice trucks, even a B61 with a factory roadranger owned by Frank Maltesta? from Nj. the movin guy.

Harry had the dark blue H67 right? seen it at Syracuse along with the Roadway H63 both mint. he also had a green B61 i saw at Macungie a few times that was better than factory fresh. Matt

the left pic is the shutterstat. goes into the water jacket and lets air thru when the truck is cold to close the shutters. looks like something went bad and someone unhooked it.. should have an air line going from the pass side firewall to it and another comin from it going to the shutter cylinder on the left side of the horse collar on the front of the truck. the other line looks like it should go to the oil pressure gauge and someone cobbed it up.

i might be interested in the triplex if your willin to sell.

i know in most b models a triplex will bolt right in but a quad with the emergency brake drum wont without the special cab mount crossmember. this can be remedied by adding maxi brakes and removin the e brake off the transmission and it will fit. most b models had the cab mount crossmember reversed and an angle iron sort of bracket off that to bolt the cab to that had the quad in it. i asume C models are about the same

looks like a Roadranger R1110 ten speed. definately a triple countershaft model. last 70's early 80's transmission. just put one in my 66 r600. made custom mounts and everything.

wish i bought about twenty pair years ago from Tidewater mack for $125 a piece. i could retire just sellin them

always liked that bumper. love that rare brown steering wheel. wish i could find a good white one for my R model. seen a few on evilbay lately but i always get outbid. Matt

pretty easy to paint off the truck then reassemble. i usually cut the head off a 3/8 bolt and thread it into one of the fender holes in the caband slip the fender over it then clamp a pair of vise grips on the end to hold the fender on temperarily til i put the rest of bolts in. i also install the inner fender and outer, then the two rivets in the back that hold the two fenders together then bolt the front (black) inner headlite panel to the fender then slip it all on as one piece. put the two top bolts in the inner headlight panel then the back two bolts with the welting, then take off the visegrips and the cut off bolt then install the last 3/8 bolt then the two 5/16 bolts at the bottom of the fender, leave it all loose then install the outer headlight panel.

Town of Little Falls RM on your icon Snowplow77?. i can pick that truck out anwhere. my grandfather worked for them for over 35 years. Matt

thinks i saw an old R model tandelm axle in that video somewhere. must be nice to run some of that old equipment. up her in New York State they must think we are made of money and they wont let you run and antique firetruck thats over 20 years old. Matt

Bob Theimer, long since deceased use to have a single axle superdog he pulled his camper with the the aths shows years ago. got sold at his auction. have never seen it around or know who ended up with it. I know he made his out of a tandem. cant be too many single axles made was there? Mike would know...
