    Tractors with dump trailers were popping out of the woodwork on 95 in Ct. Mostly Paccars. So much for the CH's and granites replacing the R's in Ct.

    Same old story with American and Canadian unions. Company says we are going to shut the doors and move to greener pastures and the union doesn't budge. You can thank the unions for the great rust belts of the Midwest.

    :SMOKIE-RT:I believe those were rosa master pumps developed by a Stanadyne engineer. The one rotating element had to supply all 6 or 8 cylinders. To much work for one part. Unlike the in line and v bosh pumps where each plunger could take a rest while the other 5 or seven supplied fuel. These pumps were on the early ford 6.9's and 7.3's. Would usually last about 100,000 miles. Rebuilds were about 300-400 dollars. Now one new ford injector is about 350.00 dollars. I think we are going backwards as far as maintenance costs and replacement parts.

    Was that a Scannia or Mack Design.

    Butler was bought out but the new owner kept the name.

    Baby Jesus says lets play nice in the sand box fellow Watter's. Looks like New York 2 is catching up fast.

    How about some pictures and information on White motor corporation Trucks. In the day they were a big competitor of Mack, There were just as many White 9000's around as B-61's. They made a lot of there own components. They were plentiful in the Midwest east and south. They may have outsold Mack for a few years. For such a large corporation there isn't much info on the net. They were large enough to buyout Sterling, Diamond-t Autocar, Reo and Euclid. I know Volvo wiped out there trucks. Did they wipe out their history also.

    57 BCR. I remember those green and yellow FWD McHenry mixers. I imagine they are out of business by now.

    The Military has been buying foreign trucks for a while. The US army had 100's of freightliners.

    How are the Value-Liner fenders attached to the frame? It looks like the fenders and hood are one piece.

    May be they are trying to let the other cities/states catch up.

    What's with all this salt? Did the price of sand(dirt) get to high. Car washes are going to make a killing.

    505 maxidyne should be a beast.

    :twothumbsup:You are right National had a ton of those F models both both 80 and 50 inch BBC. I don't think they have had Mack since. Maybe some cruiseliners.

    One of the Mack executives of that time said that he thought the LT was the finest west coast truck of the time. I guess Paccar wasn't paying attention.

    I was going to my grand daughters Ice skating show in Granby Ct on 10 and 202 heading towards Simsbury and ought of the corner of my eye I saw a bunch of Mack dumps. on the left. Anybody know anything about them. I didn't have time to go back and look.

    That brings up an interesting question. Who Made the first tilt COE. And what was the first tlit for each manufacturer
  19. james j neiweem
    That's funny

    Couldn't get the edit function to work. There are over 100 photos of new Macks. The first one shows a high rise Titan. There is a real sharp green heavy haul Titan towards the end. Enjoy

    There is an interesting Mack site up in Canada called Nanaimo Mack. They have a drilldown that shoes pictures of all there customers new Macks. Quite a few Titans.

    Those cornbinders were as high as the cherry pickers.

    It is obvious that mack always took care of the engineering side of the house but they wern't paying attention to the buisiness side. Like White they over extended and ran out of cash flow during tough times.

    You mean the days when the driver would stand out on the running board with the door open to cool off when pulling a hill in the summer time at 15mph.
