mowerman Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I saw some dummy yesterday kind of off the subject had a U-Haul truck and a car, dolly Toyota pick up on the dolly. Somehow the back wheels locked up, blew out both tires on the Toyota and had both rims grounded down to the bolt pattern bumper dragging the ground I guess this jack ass just kept on driving until somebody flagged him down I guess I should’ve put that in genius award ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Well, it was on the highway in the middle of nowhere so I think something went sour with the transmission. I don’t know I don’t think those things are a good idea car dolly unless you’re going to put the rear end up on it or take the driveshaft off.

NYC sanitation ordered all their heavy haulers with cat engines and allison automatic transmissions Also could get the "Purple Monster" Allis Chalmers engine in a Mack 1 Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

tjc transport Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 i never saw a mack with a "purple people eater" i only mentioned the engines i have personally seen. part of the reason i did not mention Lanova, hall Scott, Hercules, Waukesha, or Chrysler 413 gas engines either.

mowerman Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Do you know I’m glad you said that because I think this thing was a 68 I can’t remember it was a few months ago I remember thinking I had never heard of a scandia in a truck that big I want to say it was also an automatic thanks for that… bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
