It’s a shame but it would be a huge expense to get it back to Basking Ridge. It is anyway not the original trailer used when Hofmanm owned the truck. The original 600ton Talbert was rotting away at Allens Corner behind an Euclid R62 and was sold some years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 had to rewatch the video after reading it is a 600 ton trailer ;; then reread part where the trailer in move video was not the ORIGINAL 600 tonner. didn't seem as one pictured was 600 ton capacity; it's still a HD trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Even though it is not the original trailer it would be reasonable to save it. I don’t know what it would cost move it, but it wouldn’t be cheap to have another one built. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1961H67 Posted March 26 Popular Post Share Posted March 26 I’m just glad the truck is getting saved so our younger generations can see it,Hopefully there are some kids that will appreciate it , My Grandson is all into old trucks and trains, he may have no desire for them when he’s older but he’s still been given the opportunity to know what built this Nation! Many Thanks to Gary for being able to save a piece of history! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 thanks for the video. as was mentioned, not cost effective to acquire the trailer since it's not original to the Mack . still a shame to see it go to torches and scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I can't get over how well proportioned everything thing is on that Mack. It doesn't really look like it would be the worlds largest Mack until you see the equipment around it. The Mack made the good sized front loader at the end look like a toy! That V16 Detroit has a displacement of 2,384ci or almost 40 liters! Seeing this truck is definitely on my bucket list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 When they mentioned that the trailer would have to be moved on a barge.....ya, I can see why it will not be going anywhere. The cubic money that would need to be spent and the restoration cost....way beyond my pay grade!! 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

mrsmackpaul Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Watched the second video this morning All pretty impressive to me, well done to all involved I guess thats the easy part done And yes shifting big extremly over size things is a challenge Dunno how wide that trailer is but probably every bit of 15 feet or more I'm shifting a trailer in the coming weeks that is way over size and the paper work etc gets complicated to say the least, and it's no were near that size, just over 17 feet wide and about 60 feet long Just load this stuff is a challenge Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has brought some large stuff before like the big War time Mack water wagon from the INCO nickle mine in Ontario.. Is there pictures of that somewhere? I live close to the Sudbury mines.

Do you Have the Showtime Book from the ATHS show in York PA in about 2016-7??? That is the last time I can remember that Gary Mahan had it at a show. I have never Googled the Mahan collection to see what pictures he has on there?? It is a 1942(???) wartime black L model cab with a large wood colored barrel on it, about 10 foot wide with a Cummins Engine 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surrounded by mines and have seen a lot of cool trucks and equipment, but that would have been way before my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I did once get to see brand new Mack M Series and CL350ST's lined up at the Oakville Ontario plant where they were built though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
