  1. From the album: My Macks

    Tom Zackney bought this truck back in 2003. I tried to buy it for several years. It passed to his niece after his death last year and I was able to buy it from her last year. It has a 707 gas and a duplex.
  2. How about a replacement MH bumper? It is similar, but has the wholes for the steps. I bought one at Macungie, but don't think I will use it now. Mike
  3. Its true. Everyone who is there is at least a little bit of a Mack person. They are all good people.
  4. Nice to see the truck out in the day light. A couple seconds after we got it started 7 years ago the electric fuel pump kicked in and started spewing stale gas everywhere. I used the fuel pump to pump the tank out on my 85 LS. We did try the siren while we had it going. It was the only one of the three that worked. Good to see you got it. I looked thru the price list last night and they were asking $17000 for the Autocar. I think it is a 1947 C70. Mike
  5. That is the International Motor Company emblem which Mack started using in the teens and could.still be found.on.trucks.in the sixties. It looks similar to the engine in my 1925 Mack. Where is the auction. Mike
  6. Here are a a couple more pictures of the warehouse that the fire trucks came out of. I have pictures of the other trucks that I will post under another topic at some time. It was like a treasure chest. Some of the stuff is still up there. I think they wanted $14000 for the Autocar. It wasn't all that nice from up close, but looked good from a distance and in pictures. The fire trucks were all very nice original or nicely restored. Mike
  7. That truck came out of the same warehouse as my 85LS and 405A. You can see the top of it behind the yellow sedan cab. We had to get it running to get the 405A out. It was a really nice truck. It started up and ran nicely after cleaning the points, putting a new battery in it and putting fresh gas to it from a small can. I tried to buy it, but we could not agree on a price. I couldn't afford it anyway. I had to borrow the money for the other two trucks. I'll post more pictures when I have a chance Mike
  8. The C model in the post about Springfield is Bob's.
  9. Mowerman, I'm curious why you are laughing? Good luck the the B42, H67Mack(Bob). It is a shame the township did not let you build the building you had planned. I think I told you I had 12 vehicles tagged on my property. We have been working on dealing with that for almost a year now. It is hard to believe the lack of property owners' rights. We own the property. We pay taxes. We own the items on the property, yet we can't do what we want with it. Good Luck, Michael Yarnall
  10. That's great. Keep the pictures coming. How did the board work in your hoist? Mike
  11. Beautiful truck. I hope to see it in person some time. Mike
  12. A pressure washer and some rubbing compound would do wonders for the truck. It looks pretty complete. Why is the engine side cover off? How about some closer shots and a serial number next time you go by it? There must have been a U model near by at one time because they left the kick stand against the tire. Mike
  13. I just bought the plane ticket for vaction and made sure I got back on Friday night so I can make it out on Saturday. See all of you there. Mike
  14. Carl, Great looking truck. We had one of them at the excavating company I worked for as a teenager. I really liked it. I knew you couldn't have just one fire truck. Mike
  15. I just bought a just out of service 1972 CF719 for $2800. I think that was a good price for what I got. I would not have paid $5000 for it. If it is worth it to you then buy it. $3500 would not be a bad price. If it is really nice, $5000 would be a great price, meaning very good tires, no rust, great paint, enough equipment to make it look complete from the outside. Mine has some rust holes and is missing some equipment. There are a lot of CF's for sale right now as well as other fire trucks. I agree with what FWD said. It would be great to save this truck, but you can't save them all. Good Luck, Mike
  16. It's puppy love.
  17. That was the best parade I was ever in. I met several people from the forum. Brian Enck was behind me in the parade. I also met Joe Ditchkus and Brocky. Lots of really nice trucks. I hope I can make it next year. Mike Here is what they think of Macks up there.
  18. We loaded up our two junky Brockways and headed to Cortland in the rain. My parents went in the Superliner and I drove alone in my car. It was done raining by the time we got here. Peter Grim was doing burn outs in his 761 with a V12 Detroit. Plenty of cool trucks to look at. Hopefully more will show up tomorrow. Mike
  19. 1970 R685ST. 237, 5 speed, tandem axle tractor. Had is running a few years ago. Rack is stuck on the fuel pump. Green dash. Cab and doors are very rusty. Hood is good. Only has 4 tires on the rear now. Can send other pictures. $1500. Also have rusty but running 1975 R685ST. $2500. Mike Yarnall 610 764 8283 yarnallvmd@hotmail.com

  20. Here is the R model version. It is in Steve Hudson's garage in Brockville Ontario. He had to have 3 brackets made to hang it on the wall. He had a red Superliner and an R model at Mack Day last year. Mike
  21. Is it going to be for sale or are you going to play with it? Mike
  22. Come on. Give us more details than that. Did you try to get it running? Is it stuck? Are you happy with it? Everyone wants a V8 Superliner. Can't wait to see it at Mack Day. Mike
  23. I'm still wishy-washy about going. I have the time off, but it is a 5 or 6 hour drive. My father and mother are taking our two junky brockways up on the trailer again so I would be going by myself in my car. Anyone want to ride up with me? I would leave Boyertown PA Friday morning and leave Cortland Saturday about 4pm. Mike 610 764 8283
  24. I'll check some time. Mike
  25. Send them to my house. I have several that I would love to sell. Tom, Congrats on the purchase. It will be a lot of work, but now you have one. $2000 isn't a bad price for everything you are getting. Mike
