DavCut Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Now that’s something you don’t see every day @jdazimuth. Any idea on the story behind the photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) thats cool, N.Y. City used to put plows on their MR trash trucks.. MR's Kick A$$.. jojo Edited August 3, 2022 by Joey Mack T.J.C. Corrected me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Mu yawk has not used MR's in a long time. I forget the manufacturer they have been using the past 15-20 years, but the trucks are "mid engine". Engine is mounted sideways behind the cab high above the frame.

jdazimuth Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 I wanted a a bigger dump truck for my construction buisness. Everything in my price range was very well worn. I Bought this truck from a junkyard in NH in 2006, It was a Derry NH fire truck with 32K miles and in great shape. Scrap $ from the pump and body paid for the dump and plow. It's been making me money since. Best truck I have ever owned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70mackMB Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 But,but,but,but, Don't you freeze your azzz off with that useless MB heater?!! Ask me l know, having to wear a snowmobile suit and boots in my first ('74) MB! Even had a Canadian winter front made for it, still froze!! 🥶 LOL! The Mack sales brochure (No. 1A-27-1) says it has a "20,000 BTU heater provides fresh or recirculating warm air". Warm (Not hot) is the key word here.🤧 .....Hippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 back in 88 i got a new R-68 with AC. asked the mack dealer why it had ac and he told me any class 8 truck built after Jan 1 88 had to have AC. i don't know if he was pulling my leg or not, but every truck we got after that had AC. the 87 and older trucks usually did not have AC Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

70mackMB Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 My '77 R model had a roof mounted "Kysor" AC unit. When it worked correctly it would bring a new meaning to the word cold! .....Hippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 yea, i remember those kysor rooftop units. ran 72 autocar, a 68 or 69 freightshaker cabover, and a 65 brockway with them. as you said, when they worked, it was like being in a meat locker. even in those old wrecks that had more holes in them than insulation!!! 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
