Mack H models

[james j neiweem]

The original H model H-60/61 (cherry picker) had a flat floor I believe. The H-63 had the height dropped a bit. I think the floor was on two levels (driver side lower to allow for the dog house. Was the engine on a slant toward the passenger side. Was the H-63 floor the same as the H-67 or a flat floor. Why no H-65?

not sure on any of the above. only remembrance  I have dealing with an H is when it was being towed!! I was in the H = wrecker stopped ==I with H didn't. duplex; main in gear aux NOT. don't recall it being an H ==60/61  or63.

The H63 did have a higher floor on the passenger side, lower on the driver side. No dog house. The engine was not mounted on a slant but it was mounted lower in the frame rails than something like a B model.  Working on the injection pump could be a real knuckle buster. There were quite a few different H models, from H 60 to H 81, including an H 65.

Steve is correct. I have a couple H-67 setting here, if I can remember tomorrow I’ll take a picture of the step up floor, The engine is straight up and riding low in the frame, the transmission is really noticeably lower than a B ,, I have a C with the engine mounted on a slant

I remember when I was a kid seeing an H model in the shop with the engine on a slant as I remember.

I’ve never had any except H 67s Dad Drove a H63 but I was too young to remember anything about it. Here’s the floor in my H67 ,, and  the engine and transmission in the parts H67 ,, You can see how they lowered it so it doesn’t have a doghouse.
