Sorry but it was John Babies show not John Babies.

I was at the show at John Babies show a couple weeks ago.There was a. Orange and black b model that was absolutely one of the best looking trucks I have ever seen.The paint both interior and exterior were the best.I am looking to talk with the owner to see who did the painting.Come spring I may be looking to get my B87 tractor painted.I am in Philly,and wouldn't mind to travel to get the right job done.Thinking about doing the frame by myself.Thinking out loud here was thinking about having cab and fender,hood and other small parts done before I re assembly the truck rather done taking whole truck to paint shop.Would like to see some pic of other truck and where did you have them done at.Thanks Mike.

Might be a dumb question but what are those mill rolls used for,i take it to roll the steel.

Is the 1.57 the length sticking out of the housing.I will have to measure mine.Thanks for reply.

I have a 79 R model with the 300 series 285 hp engine.I am in need of a water pump,going to call watt in the morning but am looking for a part number for it.

tjc. if you look at my picture you will see my truck,but I will try and post a pic or two.

I am the proud owner of a B873SX tractor that has been in the family since new.Mack only made 75 of these trucks I've been told.I would like to talk with any other owners about there trucks.We had another one of these truck but that was sold.

Where in south Jersey is the truck,i'm just over the bridge in Philly would like to come and see the truck.

I will try and upload a picture of my 64 B873SX,serial #1117.It has triple frame,65,000 rears,20,000 front,335 Cummins.Been in family since new.

Why not leave it as is and make some money with it,before you spend it.

Phila truck,next time you're in their yard see if they still have any of their BE-10B's left.I know they had either a old A or D model in the quarry up state.

I am assuming the cab that is on the truck now is shot.Only because you are offering the we secord cab.Pic and price would be nice.

Maybe I will use theB87 as the pull tractor.It has 9.10 ratio and top out at 72 mph.I know this to be true cause I was stop many years ago by Pa state trooper for doing just that early one Saturday morning with a D9 dozer on the lowboy.

The only work this truck will see is pulling a trailer with some antique caterpillar tractors and the B87 Mack tractor that I'm doing.

I wish I still had 20,this is the last one.

I would like not to change the transmission,the truck has only 74,000 original miles.My dad brought 20 of these trucks.

I have a 1979 r model with a endt676 300 series engine with 285hp.The transmission is the trxl107-low hold 5 speed.The rear ratio is 4.17.My question is to get more of a top speed.The truck tops out now at about 65,i would like to be able to cruise at 70.What ratio will I need? Thanks.

Yes,i'm one of the Durkin from Philly.

When is it?I would like to go only about an hour from me.May take my r model up,do you have to register your truck before hand?

Just my thoughts but Trump and the whole Republican party better get their heads out of their ass or this country is going to be in the sh*ter for a long time. I don't want to even think of that b*tch being in the White House.The last thing that that no good son of a b*tch we have now is going to do before he leaves office is to give her a pardon. Again just my thoughts.

Great looking barn.The father's day gift is great also,was it just a one and done or could more be had?

The paint looks great.Any paint numbers would like to compare with what I have.

Those tires are around $12,000-$15,000 range. Back when me and my brothers were in business we were paying about $6000 for tires and they were for the cat 773 trucks,the trucks pictured are 777.773's 60tons,777 100 tons.

That machine is storage bin for the paver.It holds about 3 loads of the asphalt in it so the paver has a continuous supply of material,it makes for a better road and the contractor doesn't need as many trucks.
