Vladislav Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Damn impressive but I can't figure out how Mack AC in the middle pic could carry such the load being not sunk into the ground with pretty slim front wheels?LTL logger at the top pics is really beautiful.

Job41 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Keep in mind they were still cutting down the trees and bucking them up using hand held cross cut saws. In 1928 there were not many chainsaws were being used in that day. You kept your cross cut saw tuned right up and sharp as a razor. A dull saw really makes for a hard day. Anyway, a question for you expert Mack historians, I probably could google the question, but it's more fun to ask you guys. When did Mack start putting on Pneumatic tires?

Timmyb Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'm looking at them solid tyres in dirt and wondering how they didn't get stuck! Especially loaded like they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, a question for you expert Mack historians, I probably could google the question, but it's more fun to ask you guys. When did Mack start putting on Pneumatic tires? From the November 15, 1919 Commercial Car Journal pages 19 and 20 Elias Lyman Coal Company in Burlington Vermont bought four AB2 ton MACKs 1918. One with 36 x 6 pneumatics on front and 40 x 8 on the rears. The next three had 37 x 5 pneumatics on front and 38 x 7 on rears. They were equiped with Good Year All-Weather Cords installed new from the MACK Factory.https://books.google.com/books?id=lyEjAQAAMAAJ&pg=RA2-PA19&lpg=RA2-PA19&dq=first+mack+truck+with+pneumatic+tires&source=bl&ots=f_V7yG9DmU&sig=8DkJtzxLAxleOO1H1MZsqgfL_-8&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CEEQ6AEwCWoVChMIoaeI9eWxyAIVARw-Ch3N4w4t#v=onepage&q=first%20mack%20truck%20with%20pneumatic%20tires&f=false 3 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there steel. No, I learned a long while ago from my good friend in Oregon all about them. He was 3rd generation. He was a cat skinner. I learned all about water cooled brakes and "misery saws" from time spent with him. Most of the early logging photos from California, Washington state and Oregon are from him. I have other photos of the set up with a full load on the down slope. Just have to digitally clean them up to post them.
