Popular Post Bullheaded Posted December 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2019 So to add to the What is This Thread where I added the other pics, here are a couple more. The introduction of the Canadian developed and built RD800. The awesome CL350ST. The description is #2. A very cool Superliner add. And a Superliner Boom truck I have drooled over ever since I first saw it. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 That Superliner in the last pic is the thing dreams are made of. 1 1 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...
Bullheaded Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 You got that right!! Nice white chassis for a life in the Alberta mud! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Well you just need to have the operator wash it every day after work. I pay my people to start each day with a clean truck or machine. Shows that you have pride in you work . . . sloppy rig =sloppy work in many cases. Got a few jobs because of clean maintained equipment. 1 1 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...

Yes and another benefit is I go through the inspection scales and they don't even give you a second look when it looks like you are maintaining your stuff. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autocardc Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 This Superliner was operating in the St. Louis area for Union Pacific back in 2004. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Thanks for sharing. The first RD talks about being engineered by Mack. About the only thing Mack can engineer now is " Mother may I to Volvo". I think I saw on here that the Mack CL 350 was built heavier than the Hayes' and Pacifics' I thought the Mack CL was derived from the Hayes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 I don't know if you can say the CL350ST was built heavier than the Hayes or Pacific's but they were all pretty similar. I know they had some issues with the doors and cabs cracking and may were retrofitted with Hayes or pacific doors. It was also very interesting that the Challenger truck that came along later, designed by John Casanave, was offered with the Mack E9 V8 engine. He said they had very good power to weight to fuel economy ratio compared to the V12 Detroit's that were most common in those big trucks. I scanned a brochure for them on this forum somewhere a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjh Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) The cl 350 was Definitely built heavier than pacific or Hayes! I believe! I heard back in the day, one of the Hayes engineers was recruited to design the cl 350 after Hayes was bought up by Mack! Some where in between, The F model Cab was used for several years on the Hayes Cabover units as well ! On the CL350 We took out v12s transplanted e9 v8's in a few of these units blew the doors off the jimmys for fuel consumption Apparently paid for the swap with in 2 years or so in fuel savings and power! Draw back was the engine brake! Allison retarder worked very well on these behind the v12 for the billy goat trails they were operated on! Unfortunately Because of the torque output on the V8 we weren't able to install the Allison at the time !I believe Allison corrected this later on thou!

Bullheaded Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 I asked one of my friends that lives and used to work around these beasts. His reply: Do not know if they were that good. There would of been tons around. The cabs were shit as well they put Pacific cabs on after they were driven for a few years. the Mack shacks shook apart There is lot of info and pics about them here. https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/threads/mack-cl350-st-logging-truck.20056/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 Me too. Always loved the RD800. Where I am in Ontario we don't have the fat trucks like the CL350ST (even though they were built here) but we had RD800's and CL700 loggers with E9 V8's and planetary rears hauling 200,000 pounds. There are still one RD800 and one CL sitting in a mill just north of me, but all the rest have pretty much been replaced by Stars now.

Ontario Antique Trucks Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I am doing a story of 100 years of Mack Trucks in Canada for our special edition Ontario Antique Trucks magazine, would be interested in any stories or photos of Canadian built Mack trucks. I am also trying to find an advertisement for the Mack dealership in Kitchener or London Ontario if any one happens to know of any in an old issue of Bulldog or Truck News etc. Appreciate any help I can get.

james j neiweem Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Looks like the Canadian logging industry is all Stars and Pcars now. Volvo, take a hint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Yep, have a friend that had a Titan with an MP10 605 and was very happy with it. But then Mack discontinued both the Titan and the MP10. he now has a Star with a 600 Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisgbone Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 louisgbone@cox.net 1977 I was a truck salesman the CL350ST in the picture looks identical to the one I tried to sell TED ROUTH in 1977 Mack Financial would not finance it, Wardley would not finance it either so the sale was dead. My opinion what killed the CL350ST is they were about $55,000 dollars more than a Pacific or a Kenworth dealer cost was $148,000 Canadian dollars You could buy a Pacific or Kenworth for $95,000 all of CL350ST were sold directly buy Mack Trucks I wonder how much they sold them for.
