proper tools always make a job easier and SAFER. looks good. I make it south ; maybe I can have a ride in it, LOL

the F model made it's show in 1962; having 59 different model configurations. F607= F9976 , way too many to write LOL, some mentionable ==F700 '73 only 1,/ F819 "70 only 1 /F885 '73 only 1.

7 different G series :::G72 -"only 2 made in 1961 /G73'59=='62 (1116) /G75 '59='62(319) /G77'60='62 (24) / G733 '59='62 (177) /G753 '59='62 (502) /G773 '59='62 (41 made).. interesting the 73 came out two years before the 72 . 1959- 1962 big year for the G series. '62 seems to be end year for the G and the H models. still working on what the differences were between number designations,

lol ya nice work on the white… but I didn’t care for the wheels either…. Same thing in my area … they are very hard to find … but I did find one shop that deals with it all real close.. tube type tires, split rims, spacers , tubeless spoke rims … southern tire mart,,, I believe they are a chain store… bob

I’ve tried to search for my dad‘s old company photos. I can’t find anything on it except for patches which I have bought and a B model ,, model with their logo. I guess there was probably nothing interesting at the time… they had U model Mack’s for the road and most of their city rigs were load stars really nothing unusual about anything they had. Beacon fast freight I’m sure you remember them TJ they had a yard in Kearney.

I'm in need of one of the "cleanable" primary fuel filter assemblies that came on the B model Thermodyne diesels. The filter can is held on by four 1/4"-20 carriage bolts, and it has a large nut on top to spin the wiper inside for filter cleaning. Please message me if you can help. Thanks in advance. I can post a picture of what I'm looking for if it would help

Cool looking truck. As for the mods, whatever floats their boat I guess. Myself, I like stock. I just went out of my way finding new drums for Dayton spokes for my Louisville because I refuse to convert to budds. Hard to believe how much stuff is going obsolete now for even trucks built in the 80's. Around here tire shops can't even get wheel spacers for Daytons. there used to be millions of them on the road here right up into the early 2000's.

There used to be a couple of websites you could go to for all of that old stuff. Some of your fellows might remember them or how to get on them.

Check the mass ground post in the dash up by the A-pillar. I had a new 2000 CH with an E7 460 and I used to constantly get the lightning bolt light on the dash and the truck would shut off and restart while driving down the highway. Dealer could never find the problem, they changed harnesses, ECM, etc. Then years later someone on this forum posted about the mass ground point needing to be cleaned and grounded better, and sure enough, that's what the problem was.

Their investment in a name is finally paying off, LOL Truthfully though, I work at a mine and we have had all kinds of dump trucks in there to haul ore. Big loads, big hills and horribly rough roads. Peterbilt's, Kenworth's, Western Star and Mack Granites. And while all the others fell apart (except for the Star 4900 and 6900's) the Granites just kept on going, every day. I wasn't a fan of driving an M-Drive, but those trucks took all the abuse for the last three years. I just wish these new Mack's weren't as ugly as they are. And had gauges with actual readable numbers on them, and wish they gave you options to spec them for more tough applications.

Yes, I found that one myself… and thanks for that TJ but these were a different color than that. I think they were darker orange with maybe black fenders as I mentioned it I really can’t remember but they were all in really mint condition. That one looks very tired ha ha

I use mine to set Mack engines on and off the engine build stand. Very handy for those 2500 pound engines.

I think the first Moffet had a Lister powering it. There wasn't anything wrong with the Lister I just liked Kubota products better I have owned a b2150, b7500, b6100, L3800 and a Mx5200 the last two loader backhoes I will keep the Mx around as long as I can breath very handy, for heavy lifting I have a Clark forklift rated for about 5,000 lbs. I used it to unload my Summit lathe the tcm 5,000 forklift from work wouldn't lift it but the old Clark lifted it off idle it did steer a lot better with that lathe on the forks

My Moffet has a Mitsubishi 4 cyl. 1500 cc I think, The next series had Lister Petter 4 cyl. Engines, and then after that, they were all Kubota powered. We had M 5000's and some M-55's and one M-55P. That one had stabilizer arms at the wheels to stabilze the useage of the scissor fork board. It was pretty cool.

I worked on Moffet and Princton Teledyne forklifts for about ten or so years I always spec'd them with Kubota engines I liked the Moffet's the better of the two brands. When I placed an order for two Moffet's I was offered the chance to go to Ireland to visit the factory the trip would have been free from the factory but I would have had to take the owner of the company and I didn't want to spend time abroad with that asshole pissing off the people of Ireland

ask, and yee shall receive...... from the interwebs

no pictures because i forgot to take them....but saturday for lunch at the Old Bridge Raceway Park spring swap meet we had 50 cherrystone clams cooked on the grill.....for two people.

does the truck look like this ?

I used to do fleet maintenance for a concrete pipe and block company. They had about 25 of them. They were going to scrap 5 of them. I got 4 of them to run. The one in the picture cost me $750.00 USD, 15 years ago,. I got another one for free, which i sold a few years later. Mine has a controller that you can stand on the ground with, to unload, or load it on the back of the truck.

Hello all, My name is cory, I'm from Or. Grew up in the trucking industry(mostly log trucks and flatbed), I love macks. Sadly no truck at this time but I have a lot of questions that need answers, therefore I am here.

Sadly Case tractors just don't sell well for some reason, at least in my area. Have you tried finding a Case collector/junkyard? Best of luck We have a similar situation with a Case tractor, a 1370 with a loader, needs a new rim and the transmission gone through. Not worth fixing and not worth selling so she sits.

Man 286 views and no bites......I guess....

Thanks. I think there were only 68 made.

Yes they do come from Ireland.Robert Moffett founded the company in the 80s and they quickly became a best seller in truck mounted forklifts.The company was sold to Hiab in 1998.In 1999 Robert Moffett founded a new company called Combi lift making forklifts which can move in any direction for warehouse use.They now also make automated material handling solutions for any industry.They have sold around 100,000 forklifts and export to 85 countries.Now regarded as one of Irelands major success storys.The head office and one of the plants is about 20 miles from where We live.Roberts brother Sam Moffett is an expert in warehouse design and automation....Nice to see you have one Joey.Id love one myself!!!! Paul

Welcome! You have come to the right place for B model stuff. Sadly not too much in the way of online service manuals for these that I have found, but most of it is basic old truck stuff. Also thank you for taking the time to learn!
