  1. I know where you're at! I usually take a couple pieces of Equiptment up to Richie Bros in Bolton every year.
  2. We've found another case of Big Mack Trucks Fever here in Canada! Welcome !
  3. Yeah need some better pics. Does look like they might have used 2 forward axle CH hoods. Be nice to see close up pics. Mack should build something like that. It would sell for sure.
  4. 2stacksuperdog, you talk about hauling salt here's what I've had to Put up with at the salt mine the last couple weeks a bunch of new Canadians out of Toronto none of them seem to speak or understand English. They run you over on the roads get to the mine try and cut in front of you in line. Most of us had our trailers measured by the DOT and are legal to carry 38 ton on a 3 axle trailer and they're all trying to get out of there with 45 ton on a 3 axle pulled with a big double bunk Pete And tell me what kind of a grown man paints a unicorn on the side of his truck? Sure be glad when winters over.
  5. Yeah with the dump truck driver he's definitely think how the heck do I get down not how am I going to explain this one to the boss!

  7. Good video Ryan! That's too funny! At least at driving school they taught him to watch for low bridges. Just didn't teach him to relax when you get yourself in a pickle like that. If he would have looked 30 ft behind to his left maybe got out and walked back and talked to someone behind he could have got a car or two to move out of his way to give him enough room to back up ad turn left into that driveway or street or did his U turn in it. I think we've all been in a jack pot before but most of us find a better way out. WTF was that guy thinking. Too funny thanks for sharing that one, ill thing of that every time I pass one of those trucks on the road now!
  8. Here's part of the old Mack fleet from the company I work for. My brother took this photo on the Saturday morning we dropped the 2 CH's and the CL off at the auction in Toronto. I wish my boss would see the light he's replaced all the good old trucks with new junk. He would have be better off to rebuild and just do a little maintainance during our slow season than to have all this new stuff sitting and being broke down when we need it.
  9. If it's had a front to back overhaul that long ago it's not not a bad price for it.
  10. Yeah she definitely didn't look that good at band camp. Some things do get better with age.
  11. Welcome Canada's most southern BMT member! Nice R Models and Case tractors.
  12. Looks good. You never know where it may be. I t may very well still be there in the shop. A lot of stuff gets left away in buildings over time and people forget about them. Might be worth stopping and asking sometime.
  13. I'm not a big fan of any aerodyne trucks weather Cabover or conventional . So I'm gonna pass.
  14. We had a CL dump truck at work a few years ago and it had all the holes in the frame rails already to fit the spring hangers for a forward axle from a Superliner or an MH to bolt up. I've often thought of doing that with a CL if I could find a cheap one sometime. The boss took the CL dump to Toronto to Richie Brothers Auction and he's lucky someone paid $40,000.00 for it. Out of my price range for a raw project.Hardest part would be modifying the hood, You would need to do a lot of fiberglass work. But it would be a cool project.
  15. Yeah sounds like the bypass spring on the plunger in the oil pump is a stuck. You'll need to take that part of the oil pump apart and check out the piston and the bore also make sure the piston moves freely in the bore, they sometimes seize or get scored maybe the spring is broke
  16. Yeah not a bad buy but a little too far for me too.

    Kinda sounds like Freightliner in St Thomas. A lot of guys preferred the St Thomas built Freightliners over ones built elsewhere it became a Sterling plant when Daimler bought Fords Heavy Truck Division and Freightliner moved to Louisville but St Thomas was closed a few years later because of union and the exchange on the US Canadian dollar difference played a big role also. And International Harvester in Chatham fell victim to the same, now they're made in Mexico. I don't think there are any Trucks built in Canada anymore. There's getting to be less cars built here to for that matter.
  18. So it's actually an ENDT1000 and not an E9. Really cool piece to have. Hope it went to a good home.

    Mack Canada

    So the plant was at Oakville. I don't remember it being there but when it was I was a kid and probably didn't notice it. But I know the area where you guys are talking about I've been past there hundreds of times just didn't realize it.. Just a stones throw from you Bobo. What models did they build there and what years? The plant must have been history back in the 70's I've heard of Mack's being built there but don't remember it in my time.
  20. She's plain but really clean and straight and low mileage.
  21. Yeah I remember the old 966 and. 980B Cat loaders when I was cutting my teeth on them as a teenager at a friend of my dad's gravel pit, that's right you did have to lift up on the fuel pedal to kill them. I also remember my dads Freightliner with the 3408 and how it had an air over electric solenoid up at the fuel pump and once in a while if would act up and you couldn't shut it off with the key and being a Cabover made it nice to get at it quick to kill it , if you could get the cab up before it smoked the shop out.

  23. Wonder what's so special about that honda? Looks like something someone would be trying to sell on Pawn Stars for that price with a story about someone important riding it at one time! If there's no historical significance to it I think I'm like 41 Chevy I gave away trashed and scraped about a million dollars worth of old Japanese bikes over the years.
  24. It's been tempting to do that quite a few times, but I just never had the nerve to pull it off!
  25. I've bought and sold a few old Honda bikes of that vintage. CB 750's generally bring a good buck , but I guess I really didn`t know what I had according to this ad. Either I sold them too cheap or I need some of whatever that guy is on!!!!! LOL ! I think his 0 key stuck. That bike probably could bring about $13000,00 on the right day but he thinks he`s going to get $130,300,00 Nice try.
