Dont listen to the "Bobsey Twins" there......One thinks that all trucks should lean to the side and the other one thinks that you should be mixing oil with gas for all engines and that they need to break the sound barrier at idle........ I am going to cut and pasted your post to an email and send it to my father and see what he says, he has driven several C model mack firetrucks (707 mack gas) and might have some insight.......

I was thinking someone has been drinking way too much moonshine.....either that or they were doing the same drugs as the guy who thought up the U-Model.

Hey look at the 2-stroke scavenging blower on that thing!!!! Those useless piece of shits ARE good for something!!!!

When my dog got blasted by a skunk and ran into the house a few years back, I looked online for ways to get rid of the smell inside the house, I found one thing that said leave shallow pans of vinegar in the rooms affected for a day or two- and it worked.

Leon, check your private messages.

Now see- had you been driving a U-Model, the distance of the offsetness of the cab would have allowed the buzzard to gain enough altitude to clear the cab.

As long as they have been cleaned of all oil (hell thats easy, just let them run and dont add any) I'm ok with putting them into the atlantic ocean about 30-40 miles out from the coast.

Hayward F-Model pics
1958 F.W.D. replied to 1958 F.W.D.'s topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Mark, it was not uncommon at all for Hayward F-Models to come out of the factory with big iron under the hood- hence the cut-outs in the bumpers to accomodate the bigger grills/radiators. Same idea as the early Freightliners- big horses to get over the mountains. A bunch of meatheads even put big 2-strokes in them. Me, personally I would rather have had a big Cummapart than mix oil with my gas, but thats me. -
not a lawn-boy so yer not interested, huh?

It's been a while since I have seen one- but the whole cab does not lift away, it is more of a "hatch" section of the rear canopy that goes over the engine. There are probably about 2 dozen bolts going around the perimeter. Loosen the bolts and two guys can lift the hatch away.

Private Antique vs. DOT
1958 F.W.D. replied to leversole's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I have the 1958 FWD Firetruck tagged (in Pa.) as an antique. I run it regularly on I-78, I-476 and SR309. Have never been pulled over. Always have the correct insurance paperwork and registration in the glove box in a plastic sleeve along with a CAT scale ticket showing the axle and gross. -
next time I see you I am going to kick you in your man berries until you spit blood, and then 20 more times for good measure. Just kidding. Or maybe not......?

A 2-stroke Superliner? Makes me want to throw up.

I know you are in the Netherlands, but if you get desperate, try this guy: JOE BERTINO Vineland Auto Electric 382 South Delsea Drive Vineland, New Jersey 08360 (856) 691-5845 Joe is extremely knowledgeable of antique Macks and antique alternators (all types.) He has restored several Macks and currenly owns an absolutely gorgeous 1926 Mack Ladder Truck. He has helped me on several occasions including rebuilding the Delco-Remy alternator on my 1958 F.W.D. firetruck. If you want, maybe I could call him and get his email from him for you. Let me know.

Just wait until you have to drive yours for 8 hours. Then come talk to me. When I was a firefighter at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard many moons ago, we had a Ward Lafrance/Maxim Ladder Truck with an 8V71 behind you........the noise was so bad that the Chief came out with an SOP that any firefighters riding in the jumpseats had to wear ear muffs.
