Hey Rob,
Here in the south why should anyone look for a job when the government will pay you to sit at home on your @##!! Most folks would not have a job if it were offered to them. They are too lazy to work!! The bad part is the folks that ARE willing to work can't find a job because most co-operate organizations are shipping their products over seas to utilize "slave" or cheep labor. The old saying is true,,,Rich get richer and poor get poorer...

Thought you all might like to see an old B61 at work in a show here in Georgia! This was at the annual "Cotton Gin Festival" in Bostwick, Ga. The event is held each year on the first Saturday in November. This pat year (2011) we had 194 tractors of all types and colors. I supprised everyone when I hauled my tractor in the parade with my B61. I think it drew more attention than most anything else. (I guess I may be bragging a little too!) I will admit there wasn't another mack there. Someone said after the show there were between 4-5 thousand folks there! The state shuts down the state route 83 all day for us! If you are ever in this area about that time of the year we would love to have some more macks or any "big rig" come and show off! That is me at the wheel. A friend took these pictures and I don't know if there are any more or not. I know it was recorded on dvd and will try to get a copy and try to figure out how to post it. See Yall!!

When I talked with Mr Whitehead he told me he just sold one of the B61's which was running for $3500. He said he sold it to a young man (18-20) which he was going to restore. He said the young man was going to drive it home which was about 15 miles away. Mr Whitehead said he told him he would haul it for him because the truck was not road legal. Nice to hear there are some young people that do have their head on straight! Very unusual for young people here in the south to be interested in any type of "old" iron. Not sure what he wants for any of the other trucks or parts. He told me for you guys to call him if you are interested. He is a real "level headed" and hard working man.

Sounds good to me. I guess you go by "Tim" ? Looked at your web site. You all do some good work. I'll call some time and talk trucks. My phone is 770-464-3276.

Howdy You-all ! The B models are 1959 B67's per the owner. Just talked with him, since I live about 20 miles away. He said he is willing to sell any of the trucks. He said he also has extra cabs, engines, transmissions, rears, etc. These trucks belonged to his dad who has passed away about 2 years ago. He said he bought 7 old b models from a guy in N.J. about 35 years ago. He said he also has some old Dodge road tractors and the Ford L9000. His name is Larry Whitehead. Address is 5520 Hog Mountain Rd (Hwy 53) & his phone is 706-769-6013. He said he would sell all, some or parts. I also asked him about a B61 about 10 miles from his place on "New Highshoals Rd" and he said the guy still has the truck and would like to sell it. His name is Allen Carter. Hope this info helps. Dale....

I want to hook up a CB radio in my 1960 B61. It is still 24v start, 12v run. It still is + ground. Is there any way to hook up this radio without changing over to - ground? Thanks for any help.

Thanks Ron, I will give them a call.

Thanks Big Dog. That gives me a place to start. I may have to do the same.

I need some help with my 1960 B613T. I want to replace both tie rod ends. Truck has FA517 axel with straight tie rod tube and male threads which are both righthand. The tie rod ends are female threaded. The left hand tie rod end came apart (lucy I was only going about 15-20 mph) and on the end of the pin is a number 5070 D. There are numbers on the tie rod end housing but I can't make them out. The tie rod ends have a 2 bolt lock down. Any help would be appreciated guys. Thanks, Dale..

I have a question about rear turn signals on my B61 Mack. According to my wiring digram the rear of a road tractor was not equipted with turn signals. Is this a fact? Also does DOT require an owner of a B61 to put rear turn signals on these trucks to be legal to operate on highways? Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks, Superdog. I was just wondering about the engine which has serial# T676 7A4314 on top of the timing cover.

Can someone tell me where I can verify engine type and truck year model with the serial numbers I have? Thanks..

You must have that thing they call (esp). I feel the same way. My wife don't understand why I am so against the way things are in this country., She says I was born 70-80 years too late and I must agree!! There are 2 things I strongly believe in in this life and thats the "chain-gang & public excutions!). You can't tell me that would not resolve several of this countrys problems. Simple, you don't work you don't eat!!
