Mack MBR600 Australia
mrsmackpaul replied to AussieMack1988's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Not many convert to electric start in Australia but it has been done and is a pretty simple procedure I feel Dunno about online manuals but there is usually plenty of manuals, reproduction or original on line for sale Photos of the motor and the plate on the motor should be able to tell you all you need to know The chassis number is used for id in Australia on the older Macks like this even though most Mack dealers ask for the vin number they will soon go "it doesn't work" So the chassis number is stamped behind the leading drive wheel drivers side on Australia Paul -
Looking pretty flash, such low mileage is amazing Paul

As always theres more to the story Paul

Mack MBR600 Australia

What are you trying to find out ? I know they sold them here (Australia), not in huge numbers but numbers big enough I still see the odd truck about Paul -
Shall I bring my esky and folding chair to your yard and sit and stare at from there ? It would be a pretty special truck to own Paul

I'm not really a show type if person, I do know that having the right mix of people running the show can be the biggest problem I was involved for many years in the Caterpillar club in QLD Australia and it went great, numbers swelled but getting new people to get involved was a challenge Old hands at running the show can be a challenge as some dont want it run any other way Dunno what the right mix is but when it's right it just runs along so smoothly Paul

Sounds like mother nature is just rolling some coal Enjoy your alone time Paul

Another day of struggling along with a computer that has more gigga bytes than me Paul

Shady tree, deck chair, esky and sit and stare I dont have any real plans, it is totally stuffed so I really need to fix the corrosion problems first New sides, new floors, new gates, it's a long list But I have something to work with now Paul
-
That was fantastic stuff, thanks for sharing Paul
-
Harry there was a time I thought it was quite common for all R models to have that hole in the bonnet, turns out I was wrong lol The bonnet and cab has a few extra cut outs like that that no one ever see's When the bug deflector was on the bonnet you couldn't see that hole from inside or outside Once Covid does what ever the fudge it's gunna do you should come and check out this wide brown land Bob Paul
-
I cant see anyone buying it for export to Australia or any other part of the world for that money I could be wrong and unfold my deck chair and be filling my esky to get ready to sit and stare but highly unlikely Paul

Well time for some more punishment I guess Pretty dull but tough Paul

Sounds like a plan, I'm guessing its gotta be close to fitting, same shape cab and all Take some measurements and see what happens I guess Paul -
I believe that all R models in Australia had the largest radiator that Mack had available at the time, regardless of motor fitted As to the steel bonnet, they were all that was sold pretty much in Australia in the early years as the general consensus was that fiberglass wouldn't last It actually turned out the otherway, fiberglass was a lot longer lasting, easier to work on and looked better to boot Damage was even lower from roos etc hitting them Paul

I reckon your onto it Swishman Either that or the joey box is called something different in Brockways Paul
-
This isnt really Mack truck related except that I drive my truck there and well back Paul
-
Well hot off the press from Facelessbook So there you go, a big bucket load of coin was gunna be needed My arms might of been bit short and my pockets a bit deep to buy it Paul
-
The sign I think is for the truck beside it Swishman Theres some classy looking rides there Im just stunned at how good some these trucks look Were Brockways popular all over the U.S. or more just the East coast ? Thanks for sharing the photos with us Paul
-
Because it isnt a Maxidyne, only Maxidynes had Gold dogs in the beginning all other Macks had chrome Paul
-
You'll be able to tell if I got it as my ass will be wtuck in a lawn chair with esky beside me while I just sit and stare for hour after hour Paul
-
Dont by shy It's a lot closer to you than it is to me, go hard, show no mercy I thought you Americans were the land of the brave or some such thing lol Paul
-
Theres a Mack website to ask these questions, no good me asking as it will give me the question to Macks Australian warranty But jump on there and ask the Mack people them selves "Warranty | Mack Trucks" https://www.macktrucks.com/parts-and-services/support/warranty/ Paul
