There's one on ebay.Guy wants $750 for cab doors and front clip.

The red CL you are talking about was mine.It has one of the last mech.motors Mack built.It the v8 with 500hp,but we had the pump turned all the way up smoke like a bitch but it had all the power you ever needed.

Their suppose to be working on it,they have open the welcome center already.If I hear I will let you know.Mike

Phildirt,Are you talking about Bob Kelly,if so my friend and I stole a cletrac right out from under bob nose in his own backyard.

Happy Birthday Vinny,enjoy you day by riding the Mack.

Welcome aboard

Welcome.

Tom,is your shop on Verrue and Solly.

Phildirt,I have 2 very good friends that both collect Cletracs.I will be seeing the one fellow tormorrow,the other fellow deals in parts and service for the cletrac.His name is Landis Zimmermen he is located in Ephata PA.If you need his # I will get it for you.Mike Durkin

Thanks 84superdog,but I have all of the original literture on this machine.But I have throught about seeing if Cat would like it for the museunm they are opening.

This may not be the biggest but I bet Cat would like to have it in the entranceway to the factory floor where they do build the biggest.I have it all restored and painted,it from 1929.

Welcome Tom,I'm from Philly also.Where do you run your trucks out of.Mike Durkin

I say to keep them here.But hell we give them our money,our jobs,and in some cases some of us die for them bastards over there.And yes Obama must go now.

I have been wanting to say this for quite awhile,you guys up in CT,MA and other parts north have it way better then us guys here in Philly.I can remember a time when there was nothing but B61-B81's running everywhere here in Philly.Now a days you can't find a Bmodel anywhere here in Philly.There was one that ran out of a quarry down in Chester County but I haven't seen that one in a few years.I would love to drive one of them old girls anytime over the newer trucks.Give me 2 sticks,2 windows down and the smell of exhaust and I'm good to go.All good things must come to a end sorry to say.

Yes,all I had to do to the r model was paint,other than that it was in great shape.It only has 72063 miles on her.

We brought 10 of them back in 79,ran like rape apes but couldn't pull worth a shit.They were bumpie ride.

I'm in line for the same.I was told that Sam's club has them in the store and on the website.The cost is pretty cheap,around4-6 hundred range.Most of Northern Tool stuff comes from China,not saying Sam's doesn't.

Well I finely got the cab off this morning.Now I can start to remove the 49 years of dirt,grease from the frame and all of the air lines.When the weather get better I will be taking her out back to pressure wash and sandblast her to ready for paint.Will also be doing over the cab.

Here's a u model for you vinney.It has been sitting for years suppose to be going to Afica.

fxfymn,thanks for the heads up but been there done that stupied shit before.That damm sand finds it way into places you never throught it would.After I blasted my R model I drove it around for 3 days before I painted her,still found some sand.Took the driver side fuel tank off and the brakets that hold both fuel tanks on along with the air tanks,battery boxes.Hopefully I will have the cab off in the next couple of days.Then the fun really starts.Will keep you all updated as I go .

Haven't had much time to work on the old girl,my sons college lacrosse seasons start this week so I will be travling to all of his games.Still waiting on friend to stop by with boom truck to lift off cab.So in the mean time,I removed the driver side fuel tank,both air tanks,and both battery boxes.Like to have must about everything removed off of frame so when the weather clears up can push truck out the back of garage to pressure wash and sandblast.Will be removing wheels and tires prior to sandblasting.The mechanicals of the truck were fine,before I started on the truck I would have driven the old girl to the west coast and back.But I will be checking any seal leaks and replacing most if not all the hoses.

Yes,if you had to fill the top tank completely it would take about 3-5 gallons more.

Bigdog,here's the picture of the raditor stand ing on the floor.

Bod, the motor is a cummins NT335,serial #393675.

Yes they sold out.It was because they were owed to much by a certain company and they couldn't finace them any longer.I have been told they were owed something in the range of 8-10 million.
