For comparison purposes. 

Similar frame rails. Not exact. Very few bends and curves in comparison to other models Mack offered.  R series style cross members used.

The table is what I used for reference. Just didn't post. As you see CH has 10" rails and I suppose pre-2004 Vision either. CM had 9.27 as printed in the pdf file and the table points out 9.38. So there's a mess already. I may suppose the rail section was the same channel as CL600/RW600 rear portion of the rails had. 9.27 could me missprinted 9.37 or vice versa and 9.38 as just approximated 3.37. Interesting point are the CM rails SAE 1/4" 6.35 mm or metric 6.00?

BTW the table shows 0.24" thick steel both for CM and CH. But it shows the same figure for MH/RW. At the same time two of my MH's have 6.35 thick rails and one of them is as late as '91.

I have never seen a midliner with a bonnet or hood on it, I  assumed that was a North American thing

Vlad do you know if a hood was ever offered in Europe?

 

Paul

No Paul, as long as I know the hood never showed up in Europe excepting a few trucks imported from the US (probably to Russia only). So my understanding the hood was American thing. Together with the reworked cab.

As for the spoke wheels as I figure we say Midliner for CS and MS cabover. The brochure I posted describes CM which didn't seem called Midliner by Mack.

The hooded Midliner built by Renault was never available in Europe. There were a few customers from the Netherlands (as an example) that had to order CS Midliner models (with hoods) from a Canadian dealer and have them shipped back to Europe. Renault/Mack refused to sell them direct from factory.

CS and MS Midliner were never offered with spoke wheels.

The CM400 model line was referred to by Mack as " The Baby 8" (small class 8) The CM was engineered and built solely by Mack in Macungie PA.

Data on this CM is fairly hard to find. What is GVWR? Is it 33,001? Or simply however many axles a guy can hook up behind it?

 

Would be nice to hook up to B-train high boys and go haul hay bales
