    grandson (16or 17 ???) had a small birthday get together last week . wife asked what he wanted for food ; he says rain bow Sherbert ;;; now who the h-ll would have ever given thought to something that innocent. I like Sherbert ice cream = always have. the rainbow flavor ice has been there for yrs. and NO there isn't anything different from my grandson; he like that ice cream. so different today

    bet the '48 will maneuver a lot better in parking lot then the DM600. LOL!!!! BUT the DM600 with flat bed can carry it's own smoker and grill with room for umbrella and chairs to a sports event. 🤣

    many yrs back my '77 F-350 dual wheel truck was showing signs of age and rust. a local road sealing co had small short nose Brockway used for back up emergency. flipped the idea of a cab swap. would have made sharp looking dual wheel flat bed Brockway. like rest of my life everyone else iron took preference. time went by /sold the F-350.

    hope there are up coming pictures explaining this new progress. removing "ugly vertical muffler / installing modified grass burner horizontal muffler. ?? what (TRUCK) body does the future hold for the DM600 that a PTO is required???? .going to be a dump/ hyd roll-off ??? . how's fiberglass nose work looking ???

    Mack did make a B-20 ; smaller cab . also it doesn't have to follow a pattern being a B-model Mack. the A series or E series Mack aren't usually used, think out side the box and build different. E series dual wheel pick up having updated running gear (AC/ power steering ) with twin stacks.

    what ever the out come; sure hope the BMT crew is kept updated. which way is chosen by you/class would depend on available Resorces. take a dual wheel pickup swap Mack cab on to it might be easier for school tech group. to take a mack chassis and swap over could be challenging for class to operate on highway. much depends on the class abilities which is a question YOU could answer better then anyone.

    another "give away" on engine ;;; dual intake ports off air cleaner .. one to tip turbine other to turbo. truck too new for air cleaner to have rain/ dry day control. for you" youngsters" rain/dry control was same as car recycle air control. foul weather it closed the intake pipe used air from engine compartment. air cleaner has/had two stage elements

    original single axle would have had different bolt pattern on spring hanger mounts . looks as it was slid back enough for front hanger to be bolted to rear bolt holes. requiring new holes for two rear hangers L/R side only.
  11. mechohaulic
    excellent observation on the original bolt holes. it had to be one rough riding tractor being such a short wheelbase twin screw.

    unfortunately leaving the office position for some doesn't mean they loose the control they have. not counting the present day puppet there are those ; we won't beat around the BUSH and place names of course that maintain a behind the scene control. long after leaving office.

    not 685 but 686= 300 tip turbine ?? in a steel nose .
  14. mechohaulic
    steel nose and bullet lights ; now that's what mechanics dreams are made of. LOL
  15. mechohaulic
    doesn't look bad at all.

    a question many face today . all of what Matt stated plus , personal situations such as cost to haul it , storage availability . hate to see things go to a scrap yard , can only save so much. future parts for those "down the road "projects. how often most will say = had a chance to buy --- . now wish I did .
  17. mechohaulic
    NOW YOU WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT WITH SOAP YOUNG MAN for saying those bad words on here .!!! Pete must be a truck salesman ; not sure of that K word. LOL ..B873 with quad . guess not.
  18. mechohaulic
    nope 🤣 LOL let the guessing begin . lately I take a swig (or 2/3/4/5/ )straight from the bottle == eliminate the middle man (stein) LMAO

    received mine today -- excellent Christmas gift ; which was my intention for the purchase .
  20. mechohaulic
    had ole number one R607T 1001 =end673 running today . brought tears (almost) to my eyes. not only the sound but more important are the memories . simpler days. next to it is a $ 300k KW triaxle has been down for 3 weeks waiting for parts.

    now we don't know about that to which you speak. plane going to an in house party ;; not in the world of construction. no one knows how a Mack dealer in CT received the final bid from NHTR ( new haven truck rental ) for over 200 new Macks in mid 70's (except this young kid ) asked to keep an open bay at night before closing. still goes on today; except today it 's $$$$$$
  22. mechohaulic
    NO DON'T spend give me a day . have magnetic OTC. it's yours
  23. mechohaulic
    you will have soon Jojo ; give me some time .worked on a screening plant today changing screens , owner came over said " weren't you here when this screener was new "? yes I was ;; "kids today don't know how to repair they just change parts; . 72 yrs old climbing on a screening plant to remove /change screens . ARE YOU FU--- serious,
  24. mechohaulic
    just when I think I'm maxed out on what I forgot= a post like this shows up. books are gone so is memory banks, have been there done that situation can't remember the numbers .
  25. mechohaulic
    my thoughts exactly. slight adjustment to max RPM screw can be done. with fuel peddle check max RPM. remove pin from fuel pump disconnecting linkage manually run up RPMs . check any difference. cab mount set up while driving may be cutting full fuel . I wouldn't be changing internal springs. check all fuel linkage pins . have seen a Mack engine run away (title usually held buy DD). scared the heck out me. fuel shut off cable has been know to keep an engine from full fuel as stated.
