Mechohaulic: I am in Ct. and interested. Live in East Hampton Ct. Will make you an offer

Was surprised to see the strong Mack presense on the west coast LA 1925. Way before Hayward. Mack management let it all slip away.😒

Jamaican Bulldog: Not trying to steal your thunder or get to far off topic, but we may want to include the early Mack gas engines going back to the beginning.

What do they do to HP

See if you can find a rebuilt plunger at an injection shop

Mack destroyed themselves long term by letting Signal in the door.

Sweet

Per Transport Topics: All truck makers but two increased sales in May compared with a year earlier. Volvo Trucks North America climbed the most, up 80.2% to 2,546 and a 12.3% share in May. “The total market came back a little stronger than expected in May. Volvo Trucks North America had a good month,” said Magnus Koeck, vice president of strategy at VTNA. “We look forward to a strong June but anticipate continuing labor and material shortages throughout the supply chain.” International, a brand of Navistar Inc.,(aka Volkswagon) grew 22.9% to 2,799 and a 13.5% share. Paccar Inc.’s Peterbilt Motors Co. brand climbed 15.1% to 3,375 and a 16.3% share. “April and May have been pretty good months for our factories. I think we have a better supply of components than we maybe anticipated five or six weeks ago,” said Paccar Chief Financial Officer Harrie Schippers. “That’s across the board, so in the U.S. and Europe we have been able to increase build rates, as we hoped for.” Western Star rose 14.3% to 511 and a 2.5% share. Market leader Freightliner climbed 9.8% to 7,307 and a 35.3% share. Western Star and Freightliner are brands of Daimler Truck North America. There was a flip side: Mack Trucks dropped 11.2% to 1,372 and a 6.6% share. Mack and VTNA are brands of Volvo Group. “Mack, like all truck makers, has been impacted in various ways by global supply chain constraints, which has affected deliveries from Mack and body companies,” said Jonathan Randall, senior vice president of sales and commercial operations at Mack Trucks. “We’re doing all we can to deliver trucks to our customers as quickly as possible. Our backlog remains strong and demand remains high.” Kenworth Truck Co., also a Paccar brand, fell 4% to 2,803 and a 13.5% share. Looking toward truck sales to come, Michael Dozier, senior vice president at Paccar Inc., said for new state emissions regulations set to launch in 2024 in California the truck maker has a very mature program to sell progressively more zero-emission trucks in the state (including 75% of Classes 4-8 straight trucks and 40% of truck tractor by 2035, and 100% of heavy-duty sleepers by 2040.

No trucking news since July! Hard to believe. Nikola Motors(under new non criminal management) has teamed up with Bosch and Iveco to produce and sell Nikola trucks using the Iveco COE and Bosch running gear. They have sold a few electric vehicles in California with a range of 300 miles. Not sure if they are still pursuing the Hydrogen powered vehicle(scam). Shouldn't be long before the Germans own Nikola.🙂

You could get a 30,000# single rear axle in B. A lot of dump set ups had them

Last of the great Mack DM's.😪

Two men and a boy or one man and two boys. Two boys would have fun in that ride!

The Volvo cab is good looking with the VHD model axle forward. About the best looking construction truck around. Picture that with a Mack hood. Thats pretty much where we have come to with the Mack product-Name/Hood and Dog. Oh I forgot camel backs and rear ends(made at Volvo Hagerstown I guess)

What is the next weak link after the axles? Gear teeth?

The Mack name tag from New York and the HallScott tag are collectable all in themselves.

As of 8-15-22 these two Superdogs are still parked out front by 495 ABF terminal. A couple of CHU's also.

I doubt if thats still working.

How is Tater and his buddy doing?

I am thinking about overall availability going forward.

What are the most abundant used Mack engines. This would be good info for repower applications.

237 with a 20 speed. Wow better than original 5 speed.

Read on facebook from a Mack (expert?) that the CH pinnacle is going away shortly to be replaced by a new axle forward Mack with a new design cab. He also stated that a new Anthem replacement will follow with the new cab. May be a bunch of whooy but the Mayflower cab is abot 30 years old. He did not mention any Granite changes.

First time I saw the Stark B73/75/77? Nice old money maker. What are the specs?

Ex Sid Kamp?

Looks like Sid Kamp colors.
