Looks like Yooper timber to me...

 

Hello all,

I am the owner of this old Mack.

I inherited this truck on a real estate purchase. I did not know much about it until I put it up for sale. I have learned quite a bit about it since. Initially, i misread the plate on the engine and mistakenly posted "E7" it is an E9 (as you all know). I still have it for sale. The price is $7,000 (or better offers).

Please feel free to enlighten me with any other info you may know about this ol' girl. She's a dandy. I also have another Mack V8 under some tarps and another cabover cab that looks like a twin, hiding in the bushes here that I inherited as well.

Please feel free to give me a call if anyone is interested in purchasing any of the items. I would love to see someone get some use out of them. 

Thanks,

Aaron (North Central Idaho)

Did you sell it?

LOVED it... I knew you were a fun guy!

Judging by the 4 inch exhaust, I'm guessing E6

 

 

You have to read at full govern and load. Have a partner in the cab interpreting. Our group expected Mack E7 to stay under 6" or we would be putting sleeves in. On the 80's engines you just look at the worm for your speed-o out..LOL if you can't make the oil leak stop your crank is supercharged!!!!

I don't understand the last sentence, but the image is very helpful.... you are a welcome asset here.... I think I like this idea so well because it looks like something a farmer would do.

 

Build a poor man's manometer to tap into the oil dipstick. Find a clear piece of clear milk line that clamps over the dipstick, cut 14' feet of it. Make two vertical columns with a loop at the bottom with the top of one column hooked onto the oil dipstick and the other open to air then loosely U-staple the u-shaped line to a 3 foot piece of 2X6 board and mount it in the cab. Fill the loop half full with water and food coloring. Have your buddy measure the inch spread under load to check your blowby. Should be 6" spread or less for a tight motor.

Pull tractor should have a loose engine anyway. Check with an oil sample instead to see base metal condition. Loose piston engines do well for pulling and modifying. The best pull tractors we have around here won't even start without ether during summer months. Pistons swell over per heat.  When you atomize water and soluble oil solution into the intake for piston cooling it will tighten everything right up and compression goes through the roof.

Amazing ... any pics of this? Do you have to plug the breather for this?

 

Moral equivalency is poor defense or argument to explain current events. The Nazi and Soviet regimes were both equally abhorrent in their beliefs and actions and I do not have to denounce both of them on equal terms to be upset with one group more than the next.

But you're right, I do have a bias against Nazis, Neo Nazis and all their feeble minded brethren.

There is no equivalency, and I made no such claim. Marxism is far and away more destructive.  

Everyone around here with 20 acres thought they would become millionaires by 2020.. some because the developers told them they'd be. All I've seen is a hot-mess because of it. 

Lady Butterfly.. that truck has been around for 20+ years.... at least. Sure has changed over the years.

Of course Scania wasn’t the only truckmaker to sell axle-forward versions of European COEs in Australia.

In 1997, Western Star introduced an axle-forward version of ERF’s superb EC Series, dubbed the Commander 7564. Many were sold in Australia and New Zealand.

.

I REALLY like that Star...!  I just realized the "Commander" name .. Carried over from when White referred to their cabovers as Road Commanders?

We made a mistake and came in too heavy. The specs worked alright in the northeast, but overall we should have come in with a lighter chassis (the rest of the world did and still does carry heavy loads).

We built them at the time, for example the T112MC lightweight set-forward axle tractors we sold in New Zealand.

We also should have brought over an axle-forward COE like the FK, but again lighter.

So to answer your question again, we misjudged the specs for the market.

Do you think the 'alliance' with White/GMC maybe softened Volvo's entry too?

I was astounded at the loads I saw being moved with single axle 112's and 113's in South America. Those trucks, to me anyway, actually looked under built, but were clearly superior to anything else working from that time period.

The 10.6-litre DC 11 was last offered in Euro-3 emissions at 340 (DC11 08 340) and 380 (DC11 09 380) horsepower.

When Scania offered the 2-Series (and later 3-Series) conventionals in the US market, they were powered by the 308 horsepower (DSC11 06) and 341 horsepower (DSC11 03).

What sort of emissions controls did the DC11 receive? I'm not familiar with the Euro tiers.... The DC11 was built as a fully electronic controlled engine then?

I had understood the DC14 to be offered in a manual/electronic hybrid sort of like the PEEK Cat motors.

And while I'm on the subject, was the 16 liter designed with an EGR valve from the beginning?

Why is it that Volvo was able to gain a foothold in the North American market, and Scania dropped out?

The 11 liter was available in 310-380 form.... from what I've seen. was this a simple fuel setting/turbo/intercooler spec?

and the nomenclature ... the letters following the series numbers, the suffix.. they had an abundance of them it appears. I couldn't find a comprehensive list anywhere on them. thanks for the link.

There are many many 141's in South America. Most are rust free. prices aren't too bad with currency exchange, but shipping of course makes it very complicated. 

I've developed a strong curiosity for these trucks after seeing so many of them on my trip to South America, but it doesn't seem as though I can locate a good informative website for them.

From what I understand, the 11 liter six cylinder was the staple of the company for a long time. But I'm wondering if the output ratings were similar to Mack in that the 237 was essentially the same as a 350.

And what the nomenclature stood for.... following the series number HS, HW, H, M, etc.

Can't help you with part numbers... but I just wanted to know how it feels to "sell the farm".. and say that you look like a hellavu fun guy.

You might better focus your ire on the starter of that thread...

Why?, he's not taking the high road in one post and swatting hornets nests in another. Just another Leftist hypocrite... sorry, but you've never done your positions any favors.

Agreed- Other than when it relates to old Macks like zoning laws, state regulation of historic vehicles, etc. politics don't belong here. Everyone has complaints about their health care, etc., not just old Mack lovers, so those discussions belong in other forums. We need to discuss relevant topics here, like how do we preserve more historic Mack trucks?

Why don't you take your own advice? Clearly you enjoy stirring the pot as much as anyone.... A call for riots - Page 2 - Odds and Ends - BigMackTrucks.com

Everybody and their brother wants a pickup around here, so it's a sellers market that the dealers take advantage of- I often see 5 year old pickups selling for about the same price I can get a new one for at fleet pricing. Get much older than that and you start seeing expensive rust problems on the underside of vehicles- My Ranger cab and box looks great but I've had to replace almost every brake line due to rust, and some of the 10+ year old Rangers have had frames rust through. and after I've spent $20k on a 5 year old pickup I still have to worry about a $5k engine or transmission rebuild. And that $20k pickup only gets 15 MPG.

The good deals are in small cars, which are cheap to begin with and depreciate fast- I can buy a new Focus, Cruze, etc. for around $15k new and way less used. They get around 30 MPG, and put on a trailer hitch and you've got the payload capacity of a half ton pickup. You just have to quit thinking "pickup" and start thinking "car", or at least "minivan"

Another area of bi-paritisan agreement with you. Too many big vehicles. Everywhere in the world people haul twice the load with half the vehicle; and they often do it safely. You will routinely see BMW and Mercedes Benz wagons towing horse trailers..... in Germany for instance.

Well if you're so great and wealthy and have all these expensive toys, how come the price of insurance is such a problem for you? And yes, I know what the world's highest lift capacity cargo plane is, the Russians built 2 during the cold war and 1 is operable.

Because David cares about not only what is affordable for him, but what is affordable for everyone.... most conservatives are like that.... its called being thoughtful.
