Olivetroad Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Mack MHE9 (ray) pulled up in this fine Superliner today bringing me a little ol' B model from NJ:He had a hot load of high priority straw bales loaded up along with my B model, I don't think he was overweight:Someone - not to mention any names - ray - Had removed the Bulldog from the hood and installed this:When you flip a switch it even lights up:We unloaded the B model,Then we went to the local diner for dinner and we all had tenderloins. We had ours grilled, this guy had a handfull!:Back to the shop, double checked the folks out east had paid in full, then we loaded up a reel trailer to go to PA and a spray truck to VA.Then I got to see what was under the hood:and Ray showed me his aerodynamic improvements - fuel is over $4.00 a gallon, so every bit helps:Then off he went in his fine Superliner ------ always great to put a face to a name - Thanks Ray! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Maikshilo Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Very nice to see the old B made it to it's new home safe and sound and that a fellow member delivered it for you. Team work! Now you boys have a toy to drive around the farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucerne tractor Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 My U model has Jersey road Tax stickers on it I think. Does that make it cool? No just makes it one for the record books, a U model made it to the state line and back without flopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we are done it will have a new cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we are done it will have a new cab.It would be a new one to me if you could prove the cab to be original to the chassis as originally built. Mack kept ample supply of those cabs on hand for many, many years because they liked to roll on the left side.Uncle Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
