she's gunna be a pretty classy bit of gear almost a shame to paint it looks really neat and tidy Paul

done now build a bridge or I'll get onto Dr Phil Children there never happy Paul

Well it wont be overloaded then and the onus would be in them to prove it was over loaded ?? They will waffle on about how they are experts and have being rebuilding diffs for years and they know whats what and what would you know I hope you have some sort of weigh bridge tickets which will show that in fact it hasnt been over loaded and then it should be pretty clear cut They wont just hand the new center over I feel with out a judge getting involved as it will set a precedence for everyone else good luck with it all and right down every conversation or record them on your cell phone seeya Paul

It's moments like these you wished you had recorded the whole thing on your cell phone I always swear I will record it all next time but never do Good news most of us have been shafted like this at some stage in our life the bad news it will most likely happen to you again before you fall off the perch Good luck with it all but dont waste time on phone calls anymore write letters and send in registered mail it takes away all the he said she said bull Paul

thats not a lot of money for the amount of miles of roads and the freight they are expected to carry Paul

so tucken whats the go with bottom picture is that a B train or a A train ?? or some other type of doodad ?? Paul

thats less than an inch Tim Whats an inch here or there Tim ??? could be a heck of a lot better hope some cheeky bugger didnt change some tyres over night you mighten fit at all LOL or perhaps you need drive flat out so she stretches out flat like a dog running flat out Paul

when you go split the gears just flick switch on the knob and on and off the go pedal and bring it up to the correct revs 300 Mack I would think should be as tough as any other Mack motor of the time they will pull like a freight train lug right down to 1100 rpm fine Paul these fellas on here will be waiting for photo's

dunno I have never seen one wouldnt surprise me if was LHD drive WW2 bus and then refurbished and converted to RHD Paul

Hey hey full floater welcome aboard now you have an R model it will feel like your floating in heaven how I shift is keep the power on flick it to high or low depends on what your doing going up just on and off noise pedal as long as you let it drop 400 rpm or there abouts it shifts straight in going down same procedure on and off just make sure the revs increase by at least 400 rpm if you cant get up a hill by splitting only then split the gear other wise drop a full gear drop if your only lite in weight 80,000 lbs or so just drive it like a 5 speed maybe split 4 and 5 heavier weights might have to split 3,4 and 5 your living the dream now R model with a 12 speed paradise only way it could get any better is if it had a Jake instead of Dynatard seeya mate Paul

I have heard of later model Mack buses before but never one like this

if these torque figures are true and not made up bull shit thats a lot of power 31,000 pound towing thats about 14.5 ton what are you fellas towing ?????????? somebody has got some big horses in a horse float I was watching the the Top Gear TV show the other night a pommy show about cars and the like and they were say Ford pickup's are the best sellers one is sold every 31 seconds in the States and the chevy/GMC is a dud because they only sell one every 1 minute and 3 seconds WOW thats some pretty impressive sales figures to Dodge never got a mention The first thing that came to my mind is how can the US car makers be going broke with this many cars been sold ???? something is just not right over in the states at the moment somebody is bull shitting somebody Paul

Just think those trucks had big ass stacks because they needed them today people just wanna have the look its a funny world Paul

could you just pull the springs out and reset them in a press just measure length they need to be and rest them to that just press every few inches till its the right shape and Bobs your uncle no special spring spacers and U bolts just time Paul

dead sexy if only I had the time the skill or the money top job those boys did Paul

hope all you fellas in the US get to sleep in and the kids cook you some break in bed oh yeah dont forget to ring or visit your own dads as well if you can wonder if Tim in NZ is going to miss out because he's in the wrong country Im sure young Max wont forget Paul

yep keep them coming everyone road going train Paul I wonder what the go was with that looks like its in a suburban street Paul

yeah same here not many stop signs most are give way or no sign at all They have started putting two rows of white lines down the roads in QLD about a meter apart to keep cars further apart Paul Hey Tim whats all the small print bellow the no entry sign ??
