Glad ya like em boy's I'm just sorry that i didn't realise it was Rod's truck while i was up there at the show. The guy I went to the show with had his Isuzu Semi just behind the Trident in the first pic. Rod, Do you remember seeing 3 Windsor Freighter's Isuzu's parked near the truck entry gate ??? me mates was the semi in the middle.

I've got some pic's of the other B model at the show too and also the Flinty and a lot ot the newer mack's anyone interested in seeing them???...........................hahaha let me know

I was asked by Rod to show the pictures I took of his truck at the "Penrith Working Truck Show" held earlier this year.

So here they are

Well Baz it's not the first time this sort of thing has been tried

Well as far as i know no R400's were ever in Australia so you'd be popular at old truck show's that's for sure

G'Day Darren from Perth it's Darren from Tasmania hehe good to see another Aussie in here

Well I drive a signature 565 in a 2000 KW K104 here in Australia towing a semi at around 45 Tonne GVW most palces I go and appart from having the Monotherm update at 500,000 km's, a turbo at about 700,000 km's and both cam's at 1,000,000 km's it's been relativly trouble free. Now you need to know that this truck/engine towed a B double at around 68 Tonne for the first 5 years of it's life pretty much running 18-20 hr's a day, then moved onto towing a sideloader/swinglift semi which it still tows now at 1,250,000 km's.This involves a lot of idling and low power working and so far it's still going great. I find that when the truck is loaded up the more you put on the truck the better the engine seem's to pull as when I tow a B double on the odd occasion it's only a gear, maybe a gear and a half, down on a semi and Tasmania is a very hilly place to be.

I posted a spec sheet in the V8 864 horespower thread

190 hp @ 2400 rpm

450 lbs/ft @1500 rpm

I alway's thought the FR was the set back axle model

ok here ya go

Comp ratio's

END864,END864B,ENDD864 = 16.8:1

ENDT864 = 15.2:1

I think i've posted this on here not that long ago but here it is again august 1969 spec's from the Mack manual

bottom right last 3 row's gives 3 non turbo and 1 single turbo rating

if your sight is bad they read as follow's

END864 = 255 @ 2300 rpm

END864B = 270 @ 2300 rpm

ENDD864 = 237 @ 2000 rpm

ENDT864 = 300 @ 2300 rpm

Welcome to another Aussie Driver/Mechanic from Tasmania

1:1 and the 1:25 made by a mate of mine (note the first prizes) oh and the interior of the flinty

None of them are mine but i know the owner pretty good his name is Dick Beckett, he comes from Exeter about 40-50 km's away would you believe that his son's only spent about $60,000 on the flinty That W model of Padgett's is just downright awesome aye I watched that being restored about $200,000+ went into it the only thing they couldn't get for it was the steering wheel as old Charlie the original driver had hand's like sandpaper so yopu can only guess what it was like in the end.

I rekon the flinty will be going to the truck run but if it isn't i can hook ya up with him if ya head down this way

hahaha skip that was my mistake i should have put red not green the next truck show of sort's is on the 16 th march here in Launceston It's called the St.Georges Special kid's run I've got a heap of mates from the big island coming down for it the only other main truck show is the one i took the 3 dog's at which was a couple of week end's ago

The other blokes one would most likely be originally owned by Reynold's. I never knew there was a green one at Fingal does gerald Olding own a yellow/White Trident tipper and dog ??? any time ya heading this way e mail me on werkhorse@hotmail.com and I'll see if we can catch up aye

How are you mate? Thats a great photo, the 3 toughest looking Macks made. Where was that taken? I notice you're from Tassie. Ive got a V8 flinstone from down your way. Cheers mate, Skip.

G'Day skip sorry i haven't replied but i was down south in Hobart for 4 day's teaching our new bloke how to operate a sideloader

That V8 Flinty.......ya didn't happen to get it from a company called Tas Timber Engineering in cambridge did ya?? ?? if so.... I drooled over that many times when delivering timber there

Oh and those 3 sweet dog's were taken at this years Deloraine Truck show about the only truck show left here in Tassie

L to R

early 80's Superliner series 1, late 60's R model(Flintstone) and Brand new never been used Titan.

Be my guest ol mate i've got a bit ta do yet hehe

how's this ??? I've got the air brake section too but it's 35 pages long so it'll take a while to scan

HaHa don't rekon it is mate this one is an A51 and is located in Northern Tasmania Australia

here's the serial no.

I've heard of wood burning engines before but this takes the cake

Recently found in the bush (obviously )

and nothing but a superliner would have been suitable to tow it back
