Red Horse

How many yards were those? Can't believe they gained much with all that weight of the extra axle -or was max allowed higher because of the axle?

Or dumb like a fox. the next announcement from Sweden will be...." After careful consideration and to remain competitive in the market place, given th commonality of drive trains, the Mack organization will be integrated into the Volvo operation blah blah. History repeats itself. White Motor bought Sterling in the early 50's then said..."duh but we have Autocar". end of Sterling. Hope I'm wrong

No clue-but like I said my bet is it is a short BBC judging by the steep angle of the hood. Ill try to post what I received.

Just got an email from Mack with a teaser photo of a new truck to be announced 4/8. Check your emails. By the sharp angle of the hood looks like it might be like a 90 BBC tractor/truck.

Again, I wonder if there is ANY relationship with Dearborn beyond a license to use the brand.

Hah.backward cams. Were those DMs built in the new southern plant. I remember we had new R models built there that hade all kinds of assembly issues. Brain fart-what was the name of the town? So carolina right?

so tank had a seam let go? look at front bumper-like he hit something head on looks like a Tech-Weld? ?

what a waste..you would think those front discharge mixers would bring decent money south of the border

ugh-how much was lost?

How old is that picture?

EJ..Who is "Earth Movers" What town?

George? I thought the old man was Angelo?

Very nice..just curious-how far below grade are piers.? Rebar?

For sure that was the best practice in the old days. In spite of the fact that the more kero in the blend the less BTU's (power) you got out of a gallon. The good diesel additives today, contain more than just components that improve winter performance. They have components like lubricity improvers for good pump life, "detergents" etc. But best practice is the fuel has to be additized BEFORE the wax forms. Think of the wax as molecules with rough edges/corners- they interlock. What good additives do is turn those molecules into small "bb's"-they roll instead of locking up. Very few terminals today even have kero-at least here in Northeast. And Brocky you date yourself..you had to know some math back then to figure how much of each you put into each compartment-today unless you are loading at some "gypsy" terminal, loading racks today are computerized and the blended fuels are bottom loaded- with additives and or kero or both. And I'm with you -top loading in the wind in upstate NY😎

Don't make fun of Perlux lights. I never drove a trailer dump but I could imagine because of the horizontal blades they had in them, and because they tended to accumulate water, When dumping a load you could check them and you had a built in level hanging off your front bumper. Level water-safe to dump..offset bubble, and do so at your risk.😎
