ThaddeusW Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Ok while browsing the photo album of an Australian member (Swishy) of Hanks truck forum I found this great five part article. It covers Mack from the beginning to the 70's and has all ot great pictures to go along. Pictures of the rare extreme duty M and L models along with an N model mixer and even the FCSW which was a 3 axle 100K GVW dump truck built in 1937, only two were ever made! My favorite pictures are of the M75SX and the M45SX. I wonder if any still exist especially the M75, would make a nice collectors piece . The first page of part three has an interesting picture of how Mack even used camel back paired with a second set of springs to take the weight of tandem planetary hub reduction axles.Here is the link: http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?aut...si&img=2539The images are 800x1100 which you can easily print. They look perfect on paper!Enjoy Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

RRJordan Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Could the "LFSX" be a LRSW? See page 111 of Adams. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2893-awesome-mack-article-i-found-on-the-net/#findComment-14213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
