  1. Anyone ever heard of these? Saw a photo of one in a book... Looked like a Superliner 1 with the brand "Traksomex" listed under it. http://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=151&t=55277&start=15
  2. 300+'s weren't real common, is that right? I did a little reading on them, and they were somehow linked to California??? Emissions or something?
  3. Thanks for clearing that up Jim. The picture I posted claims to have a 300+ (Its been on Craigslist off and on) mated to a six speed. I thought those 300+'s were all mated with "multi-speed" transmission.....
  4. I've seen two air tubes AND a hood scoop! What's up with that???
  5. why do Canadian Mack's have the stack behind the bunk? I also seem to notice that many Canadian R's were outfiited with Fuller trans. . . .???
  6. But how do the early ones compare with the later ones....? I only recently found out about these 1005 cu.in.... predecessor to the 998 cu.in.??
  7. I had posted a questions about the evolution of the E9.. haven't got much of a response. I was looking at a 1980 intercooled V8, but I am unfamiliar with the changes made with the V8's through the 80's and 90's. Would the 1980 V8 be a 'good' engine? The tags are missing on the valve cover. Any info would be much appreciated.
  8. Can someone here tell me about the evolution of the E9? Beyond horsepower settings and the "V" pump vs. inline pump. . . Were there any real variations or updates between the early 400's and the last 500's? I seem to recall that there were some head bolt updates, could be wrong... any info would be greatly appreciated. It had a 20 year run in road trucks (give or take), just curious if it was basically the same for all those years.
  9. Can anyone tell me the whys and hows of the hood scoop you'd see on some 70's and early 80's Macks? I've seen them on U's RW's and R's.... but they seem to be not too common... what's the deal there?
  10. I have been looking at buying an r model and was wondering about the steering box placement. Can anyone tell me why some have the box mounted at a quirky angle on the inner frame rail, and others have a more traditional looking box mounted on the outside of the frame rail?
  11. So, any turbocharged mack six can become a hi RPM multi speed engine with the AMERICAN BOSCH pump and the right turbo only?
  12. What exactly was the differences between the Mack motors that were coupled to 5 and 6 speed transmissions and the one's coupled to so-called multi-speed transmissions? Was it simply an injection pump/setting or were there actual internal components that were different?
  13. Hi Roel, Always welcome to our European friends! I am continually surprised at how many American trucks and farm tractors end up in the 'Old Country'.... Could you offer any insights into why this is so? Regards und viele Grüße (im Deutsch nicht niederländisch) Ron
  14. Here is a picture of one under the dash... I believe its universal mount.
  15. Its really that uncomfortable? Much more than an old R model? I have a small delivery business and always thought an old B would help with business....
