Vladislav

I found the only cat, black'n white. It's the nice business instead to go asleep. So I'll count electric motors next time. Vlad

Nice Olive, it's too funny ! I'm shure Russians are so lazy today so they don't want to make any apart or copy. Most people owerhere prefere to buy ready merchandize. Made mostly in China, as my Mack's tyres. It's easy to do having good oil money. The people who have authority provide politic of not-developing of production but consuming mostly. So don't be afraid for your high quality body. And if you'll be here I promise you to not tell everybody about your intelligence and high qualification. P.S. To everybody: you have no chances to see bears on a street, they aren't walking owerhere. More than it, you have no chances to see bears anywhere, in zoo only !

... and fit them with new stainless bolts. And send them better when they'll be free. And paint separately

Great looking rare truck.

I have looked all the tread now, and want to say: Nice trucks guys, I like them all !

Awesome truck ! Tandem looks good. Maybe the truck looks strange with spokes in front / Budd's in rear. Seeing the picture I'm for spokes. The wheel base is relatively shot so single axle would be also good. Although I like tandems. Best wishes to keep her moving ! Vlad

Thank you guys, It's a big pleasure for me to have so many invitations. And I'm really glad to know there are many good people in our world. I'll probably not too quick and can only add now of if anybody of you have a plan to visit Russia I'd be also glad to spend a time to keep your best owerhere. David, if I'll come one day I'll be ready to help you to organize Vlad

Well, you can keep your body clean now ! Sorry, it isn't a shampoo. Nice piece of Mack Vinnie, glad you have it

You guys living in a good country. If I buy a car/truck with no title or have a chassis number wrong I have NO chances to register it and drive. Vlad

Have never seen Hayes or something looks like on roads owerhere

The cab is local built, wooden-framed with metal roof. I have one at the yard. Front fenders couldn't be mistaken but most other has their own design. Anyway all Soviet after-the-war automotive production had big influence from American technik that was in great quantities supplied under Lend-Lease. So you can note some things from different US vehicles of that time. Interesting fact - first pre-production prototype had just L-model cab. Vlad

Olive, I noted it in my mind. Will post everything interesting from my nearest trip. Just don't wait for pictures with a content of trucks the mark you most like Vlad

Mike, an END 672 is a late series Lanova in the relation to ED Lanova of Mack NR. That one is of 519 cu.in. and has 131 bhp. It's probably the first production Mack engine with Lanova combustion chamber. There were Buda - Lanova diesels put into Mack trucks earlier. That's strange to me that NR model was built basically as an L although I didn't fix still any L's with ED. The ED's were used in some early F series also. Vlad

Murray, Glad about you have no great problem for NR parts. It isn't so at me although I met a guy in Holland who's very friendly and helps alot. There are mostly big works at me with no hard needs of parts at the moment. Looking forward I'll need lots of. All the best, Vlad

I'm feeling myself I'm always too late. Happy B day! Vlad

Thank you Brocky, I'm just stopping me of dreaming.. Macugnie in June is the serious point to think about. There is a lot of plans for this year but for the next - it's clean now. Anyway I'm pleased too much keeping the BMT company. It gives me a chance to learn more around my most favorite trucks and have a vision into another part of the world. Vlad

Yea, I was double liked starting with my NR because it was to me both Mack and YaAZ. Vlad

Mike, What the L Mack you write about and what the Lanova it has under a hood? I'm in interest though still doesn't fix any L's with ED. Vlad

My favorite non-Mack is the truck of my country's origin - YaAZ. Production years were 1951-1958. It's structure based on 40's Mack NR series although with a lot of differences. Most chassis including front axle and Camelback are too close to Mack but reworked to metric. The engine was two stroke, a copy of 6-71. There were 5 speed gearbox and 2 speed transfer case. Two parallel propeller shafts came to axles with no interaxle diff. Cab has wooden structure with wooded outside lining on early series. Nearly 20,000 units were produced. The only one survived is known at the moment. Keeped in a closed army area with no chances to get it off. Vlad

Nice show Vinnie, I'm glad you had a nice weekend

I have a tank with airation, it has a small compressor inside. An air allows bacteria to grow. They converts the income of a kind we don't like to a "clear" water. That water smells a bit from time to time. Newertheless it has being pumped out to a nearest downhill. All works automatically. Interesting that every inside intersection pumping provides by compressed air. There was a nice time 6 years ago. I came out from my wife. The haus I'm living now wasn't built enough. There was light and heating but no water and out piping. In addition the floor was a non-covered concrete. The pleasure of the moment was that it was a January and a temperature of near - 30 celsias continued during 2-3 weeks. Each morning I begined with a nice trip to the outhouse. Visit to McDonalds was a good chance to wash hands good with a hot water. Vlad

I have never been to America, must make a trip one day. I was impressed been seeing Dead Horse in Utah (on a picture). No doubt U.S. is a great area conteins lots of beauty. And no words could describe an attraction of Mack trucks. Anyway I need a visa and at least a month of a free time. But I want to and I'll make it :rolleyes: Vlad

No problems Murray, I have a lot of to do about a chassis. There is a warm time this monthes so a big stuff must been constructed. All the best, Vlad.

Nice looking place Olive ! What is the name of Ozark? Is this a city or an area? Vlad

What the strange for U-model hood? Isn't it a west coast U? Or maybe just some excessive amount of fiberglass was used for its produce?
