Vladislav Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 That setup you had laying on the ground in front of the truck was called "long ignition" by some slang term of older days where I am. So your mentioning of a "long day" gives me special meaning. Cool truck definitely. A pleasure to look at the pics once more.

Quickfarms Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) This is the first Mack I have dealt with that did not have any means to tow it in the front bumper so I had to change the hooks on one of my chains from grab hooks to slip hooks so i could use it as a bridal on the front axle I also found out some more history on this truck the previous owner used it to haul race horse’s and sold it when they downsized due to age Edited June 6, 2022 by Quickfarms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the four legged animal Look up Kentucky derby, probably not at that level. we had two major tracks in our local area and one closed and is now Sofi Stadium home of the Rams football team betting is a major part of horse racing and with off track betting the attendance at each track has declined Edited June 6, 2022 by Quickfarms 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. It is not my trailer but that is a very common conversion. All that is required to remove the goose neck coupler is two bolts. Then a king pin coupler is slid up into the tube and the two bolts are reinstalled. They also use the small slip disc. i have been told that the gooseneck is better off road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickfarms Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 Worked on cleaning out the cab today I removed the drivers seat and the rest of the carpet. I removed the blower motor from the heater but was unable to remove the front cover because the temperature control lever is stuck, do the knobs come off of the levers? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickfarms Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 I tried to upload a video of us pulling the truck out of the spot where it has been sitting since 2007 and starting down the 3/4 mile dirt road to the pavement but the file is too big so here is a short video of the Mack crossing the wash is there a way I can load a larger video?

Quickfarms Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 I just received the chassis build record from the Mack museum this morning the truck was originally sold in Los Angeles and was dulex 93-72218-h green cab and frame with white and black per a sketch and white rear wheels does anyone have a dulex paint chart from that era? any idea on who ran those colors in 1970?
