HeavyGunner Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 What a beast. I always enjoy seeing those heavy haulers. Do you know the specs by chance?

The 12 cylinder (400 HP 1,486 CID) NA Cummins NVH diesel has been replaced with a newer 6 cylinder Cummins. Not sure which one. 600 HP? It still appears to have the torque converter and automatic trans with an aux. trans. Mack Planidrive axles out back. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Popular Post Hobert62 Posted May 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2018 Almost 2 years Barnhart had it locally for some extra traction moving electrical stuff for a power plant. They only used it one time though. It had a KT cummins in it and the transmission controller look like something from a boat. I had a post at the time, but i don't remember what it was called. That truck is a beast, I bet the frame rails where 3/4" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) That Marino LRVSW was painted Marino colors about 20 years ago in Portland Ct. Actually there were two of them being painted.

BOB DINGSDALE Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 james j neiween; wasn't one of them a big autocar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) They did have a big Autocar an AP-19 I believe. That unit pulled our retired many ton steam generators out of our Nuclear plant in Haddam Neck Ct. to a railroad siding in Portland Ct. If I remember right there was a Western Star pusher. Marino is still in Middletown Ct however it was bought out by Barnhart. Marino did a lot of work for Northeast Utilities( now Eversource). I saw the two Mack LRVSW's being painted by the Flannery brothers in Portland Ct. Barnhart still may still have one and the other one may have been sold.. I thought I read that one of them did some work in the Carribean islands. Autocar had big plans for the AP's but there production facilities just couldn't support manufacturing them unlike Mack with the LR and M models. Then the dumb asses sold out to White. White never pursued the AP's as far as I know. Edited May 17, 2018 by james j neiweem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck P Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I remember seeing the AP-19 at the Greensboro National Convention that coincided with Autocars"s 100th anniversary. That truck was massive. I found this shot on the web from that event. 2 Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

Makes you wonder-with that big radiator on the A-car, and the Mack was doing same work?? wonder how the temp gauge looked in THAT truck!

j hancock Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 The 1964 AP-19 had a 12 cylinder 525 HP Cummins under the hood and certainly had more water capacity than the Mack. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
