Superdog

I bought some 16 ply Boto's this winter,$275 apiece for 11R22.5's,so far they've done really good. What are you putting that size tire on?

That's cool as hell,Jake,always like them too. There's been a few around here that I let get away I wish I woulda bought.

Picked up a junk car,these make great dumpsters for all the little misc. scrap metal I seem to generate,when the car gets full I haul it in and get another. Local Mack dealer needed some Neway suspension parts for a customer's R model,since the half suspension on this truck wasn't doing me much good,I delivered it to them to take what they needed. This DM dump has been sitting on their back lot for a long time. Other than a bent bumper,looks like a nice truck. Swapped out the retreards on Super Mutt for the tires I put on the Cruiseliner this winter.It ain't going anywhere till I found a windshield,so I couldn't justify those new tires just sitting. Waiting to see if Bandag is going to stand behind the one that peeled. Got the other "billboard" trailer moved out of the field. Think I'm going to sell one,after I get the aluminum wheels off them. Waiting on a train When the truck won't fit where the hogs are, gotta haul them out in a gooseneck trailer and load them with a portable loading chute. Midliner sitting under a tree Loading hogs at our stockyards.No longer in daily use,we use it as a collection & reload point for small groups of livestock . My Great grandpa and Grandpa built this yards in 1950. Over the years hogs were bought for Oscar Meyer,Hormel,Farmstead,FDL Foods,and Excel . Use to be every town around had at least one,sometimes 2 hog buying stations,but now with the large confinement hog farms,they are almost extinct,as hogs are already sold on contract and loaded direct,farm to packing house. New cold storage and reefer docks at he Smithfield(formerly Wilson) plant in Monmouth,IL. Big Brother is watching. Damned if I've got this one figured out,they clip this on truck when we enter the guard gate to " track our movement within the facilities". I don't know where they are worried about us going,it's all fenced in around the hog receiving area.

looks like a Rawhide CH on the other side of that B model.

Phil passed away quite a few years ago,one of his kids took over for awhile,but near as I can tell,they must have sold what was left and folded his business up.

Good luck

too short

Yep,Dad still drives everyday,keeps saying this is going to be his last truck,but that's what he also said about the 2 before it.

Truck was empty,headed for home,70 mph on the 4 lane. Bandag retread .

There were 22 of the FS729LST AC powered tractors built,one year 1972 only. No other records found on any other AC powered Macks.

I'd be proud to drag that home.Lots of good stuff there for sure,actually the whole thing don't look that bad. One thing in your favor,scrap iron is down.

Went to look at an old R model for sale several years ago,turned out it wasn't an R model at all,only thing Mack was the cab and hood,mounted on the front half of a Ford frame,250 Cummins mounted at a slant,13 speed,mated to the back half of a IH. It was titled as a 1975 Reconstructed Mack.

Remind me next Dec.,I'll make sure you get one.

Mikey's driving Super Mutt while we wait to find parts to fix the Cruiseliner. Tread came of a near new retread today,tore of 1/4 fender,bent back of fuel tank. We put stainless air cleaners on it tonite,the old ones were starting to rust out.

2 more new babies this week. Got a little warm this week,had to turn on the "air". couple of cement business signs,big piece of watermelon and a cement mixer California comes to GPC South storage and unload elevator at GPC,Muscatine,IA Next to unload,very clean,modern facilities as you can see. I gotta get a better pic of this sometime,'84 Valueliner,they bought it new. This B61 just turned up recently in Muscatine,not for sale,he has another hid behind the building.

Muddy farm lot,no wonder I can't keep my truck clean,the pigs don't mind,but I do. All I seem to get done is wait in line.Road construction on bridge over Illinois River, Waiting to unload hogs at Cargill,Beardstown,IL. My buddy Larry was coming home empty,so he stopped and picked up my "new" MH for me. Unloaded and parked in the pasture Sitting in another line Dad waiting to load potash Fertilizer storage domes at Burlington River Terminal,the main local fertilizer outlet.They get it in on barges and by rail and load it on trucks,both bulk and liquid. IH 9670 with a purple trailer They've got about a dozen of these working on the new 4 lane north of my place. First time I've seen scraper trucks like this.

Thank You! Any chance you'd like to come work at the parts counter of a SE Iowa Mack dealer ???

Need a LH windshield for our Cruiseliner. Struck out with all the glass places so far.

somebody sure did a number on that interior

correct,the 866's were painted silver

Is that something you want to sell? I'm still needing one.

That sure looks familiar,did you buy it from Jack Hess?

From what I understand,they were 998. There is little info around on them.

what a waste.

The one with the early pre-E9 engine? That's kinda what I was thinking.
