U model Progress:
JumperAndSon replied to umodelnut's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Wow! You guys are doing a great job! I can't wait to see it done. I bet running the dump truck is fun. I love hauling stuff around the yard with the yard truck. Especially now that I've fixed the window so it goes down. It was hot with the driver's window stuck up. Ben -
Remember, if we' strait' pimpin' it, we gotta get da twonnyfoe(.5)'s up on 'at piece. Ben

I do use Youtube! But for some reason, Youtube doesn't accept AVI files, which is what my camera makes. I remember that somebody on here mentioned a good video converter but I can't remember who it was or what converter they said. I'm gonna try to look in some old threads and see if I can find it. All the ones I found on google were either not free or the didn't do what I wanted them to. Ben

Vin, a U700 with an 8V71? That would be awesome! I'd strait pimp that, errr......strait pipe that!

Video Converter! I took a video of the International and the wrecker and I need to upload them. I can't do that without converting them from AVI to wmv. Anybody know of a good, free, HD video converter that won't put a watermark on the screen? The sooner I find one, the sooner you guys can see the videos. Thanks, Ben

That's my dad for you, always looking out for the obvious things that everybody else (including me) missed. I love it. Ben

That, sirs, is a set of door magnet signs in use. Tim

Same goes for me. Ben

Yea, jeeze, I didn't know Uncle Rob left. That's a major bummer. I would've liked to have said goodbye. I just figured he was busy with something and would check in when he got a chance. I just hope he's doing well and having a good time in real life. Hmmmm, that's something. I'm really gonna miss him. Ben

Thanks guys. The truck definately turned out great. The video was pretty good too, in my opinion. I only mispelled one word and left out one word by accident, but other than that, it's great. Ben

Yep, it was an ARCO truck. Originally came from New Jesrsey according to the title. Ben

It has been at Watts getting the brakes done, but it just got done today so I'll take a video of it running and driving probably tomorrow. Ben

Here it is: Tell me what you think! Ben

1958 Mack H67LT hauled from New Mexico to Missouri
JumperAndSon replied to Olivetroad's topic in Transportation Board
Maybe I could convince dad to take a ride down there with the new wrecker. That'd be fun. Ben -
I'm getting there cuz. I've been so busy it's ridiculus. I'm gonna do a walkaround video of both the wrecker and the cornbinder as soon as I get a chance. Ben

I haven't gotten the chance to write to the museum yet but I'm definately going to. It's a B61LT so it was originally a tractor. It appears that somebody started with a holmes 750 and fabricated their own custom setup with one cable. It has a triplex tranny in it. I really like the stacks too. After the pictures were taken, we polished them up and they look like brand new. It's the only B model I've ever with dual 4 inch chrome straight stacks with rain caps. I love it. With no muffler, it's actually kinda loud but it sounds pretty good. I just can't wait to tow something with it. Ben

The Cabs Painted!

Vin, looks great! Hopefully your bladder holds up when you see the finished product. Tim -
The truck is absolutely awesome. I really like riding in it. But we took it to Watts Mack on Tuesday to have the brakes tightened up and the mechanic that looked at it said "I don't know how it even stopped." Apperently everything that has anything to do with the brakes is bad. So the wonderful men at Watts Mack are going to make it right. Here's some pics of what it looked like on Thursday: They're still working on the back axle. They haven't even looked at the middle or the front axle yet. But they're gonna make it right and that's all that matters. Ben

Yep, that's what my mom said when we bought it. She thinks now that we have a way to haul stuff we will buy more stuff which may end up being true. Ben
-
Oh yea, that was probably the last time we're going to pay somebody to tow something for us because we now have something to haul with. Ben
-
It runs and drives great. The brakes are going to need some attention but other than that, it's awesome. Watts Mack hauled it back for us yesterday and today we fired it up and drove it around and it's great. The winch and PTO workes great too. It's a really cool truck and I can't wait to get the brakes done and start using it. You guys will most likely see this and our Two-Stroke Cornbinder at Macungie this year. Ben

I'm not extremly firmiliar with Mack motors (four strokes aren't my thing) but this is the engine: I assume that it's a Thermodyne but I couldn't tell you. If anybody can tell by the pictures, that'd be great. Ben

The battery box did need a little work though: So we did this: And got this: We installed a nice fancy new one that we got for $10 Ben
