hope it wasn't because of a calendar LOL. speaking of which I did a visit recently to one of my yrs back customers. a guy who threw nothing away; some items were Mack calendars back to the '70's and up . I quickly looked for the controversial HI/Ho == O&G picture; not found. 1- I don't recall the year= had to be mid late '70's -early 80's. 2- some calendars were brittle , didn't want to ruin. will keep searching the pile one day. he's not getting any younger ; kids will call in a dumpster 😨

wasn't Manafort tied in with Arute some how ??? there were a few fleets back then having the black/white striped "safty" front bumper paint scheme.

one thing I can tell you about the H;; if your in one on a cold winter day ;it don't start so you are being towed by a diamond T wrecker having a pull plate of 2 in steel in the upright position::: MAKE SURE THE DUPLEX TWIN STICK IS IN BOTH MAIN AND AUX.!! with no air built up and a hand brake which is frozen not much to do when the wrecker stops for traffic and the H model doesn't stop till the crash of the wrecker pull plate modifies the bubble nose of the H. this all takes place while the service manager and 3 prospective buyers watch. main was in gear aux wasn't. new rules took place after that.. pull plate down to bumper height/ air will be built up in towed unit . LOL

H-65 were made '55- -'58 total number produced =====63.also produced WERE::: H- 60 /62/ 64/ 65/68/69/613 -only 3/628 -'55 only 2/633/653/673/693/81/813/6-8WC in'56 only 10 .... interesting... H-61 '52-57==484 made ///H63 '54-58 ==4091 made (hot seller)///H-67 '57-'62==5954 made (real go getter).

unfortunately I do live in Cheshire now; never changed my profile address. Watertown I consider HOME, possibly if time allows when Your here , coffee time.

years back Dean Foods came east and did a 10 yr lease on Baskin Robbins. rumor had it that was their way of getting quick ICC rights in new england so they could sell their own products,

😱well look who's having a BIRTHDAY TODAY !!!!! it's Joey Mack . may YOU have a positive and enjoyable Day Sir.

don't feel bad about a "bucket list" which didn't happen as planned!!! my "bucket list" had a happy marriage listed ;;; that didn't happen either.😱

open hood with amazing engine detail . this B-61 will look great next to my AIM B-81/B-75. will this be available through BMT ?

now lets not discourage the man!!! 🤣🤣 gets to warm just turn on the AC😁😂, engine tooo loud ;; turn up your sirus radio .😁🤪 go for it Bob;; after 10 minutes you'll question :" who wrote this bucket list !!! Stone Construction in CT had a green euclid ;; yep like tjc said . NOT a fun day.

never saw one. find it interesting the word Mack is in bolder print. must be real ??

not a hough with that cab ?? a Trojan possibly?? doesn't look to be abused.

looks to be ole euclid ; no stack up through the hood ?? not a daily driver by looks . ear plugs for sure with a screamin 6-71.

that's one of those "ya gotta read between the lines" post

If only more Veterans wore a hat letting us know of their service; so as for us to recognize and honor them. I'm also aware of the service men/ women not wanting to be recognized or have memories come back. I stopped a veteran in parking lot recently ; saluted Him ; thanked Him for his Service; being close to my parked jeep , walked him over to see the rear window having two large murals= one showing the raising of the Flag with words ::NEVER FORGET OUR VETERANS FOR WHAT THEY GAVE FOR OUR COUNTRY! other says : SOME GAVE ALL , SOME STILL GIVE :POW/MIA . He thanked me as a tear ran down his face.
