Ain't no feeling like Petermobiling

Hmmm Must be talking of a Grey pete that seems to have alot of down time. Mine runs like a top just the minor stuff. Pm's,tires,occasional ujoint,

I've always been a Cat man. But I do not like this new junk. Prefer the older 2 series like the 235 and 245. Newer stuff. Maybe a 200 or something Komatsu,Deere,Hitachi. I've run most of them and they are quiet,decent power for the size. Depends what you are going to do with it. Now a days they are all almost alike. Power,size, weight, with a few differences

Ok you mis understood me. I know 9speeds weather Eaton or Mack or Spicer haver the front flip button for the high low. What I am talking about is the Red button like a 13 speed.

Is it a 9 speed or a 13. never seen a 9 with a splitter button on it. Then again not use to Mack trans either. Just moved a few around

Congrats grandpa

Well hell I'd trade you a 5th wheel and controls for it for the bucket. If I get my hands on this. Probally take the lift axle off as this would be more of a toy then anything. I got my work truck to do anything else.

I got my eye on a Dm rock bucket where I park at. Been sitting for a year or so. Looks like a 2 stick 6 speed. Might find out what the yard is gonna do and let me know if they are going to do anything with it. before they scrap it Tanks are open and unknown if it runs.

Welcome to the jungle

Might try Century also. Ran one for 2 years hauling cars and containers. did everything they wanted it to do

Sounds like every Mack I grew up around

Thank you sir

Truck we saw in NM 2 weeks ago The white fire truck

Good pulling

Welcome to the jungle

Idk How he didn't feel it sway and I know my pump I can hear and feel if it is left on. I know on a frameless like they had that had to be about as unstable as hell

You got lucky there. Glad it turned out for the better

Yeah I found a Peterbilt one and it was a joke nothing like this one. I haven't been back since

Welcome to the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

If it is anything like my Cat 18k or better

Wouldn't hurt changing your filters. Maybe aircleaners to. I got to change my fuel filters on my Cat this week also. Got down to 75 pounds of pressure and starting to hurt my pulling. Usually around 90 to 98 psi

I do not know how many on here drive over the road, Or do oversize. Just a heads up. When I came in to the state on 87 yesterday and got to the scale there where 4 more already there. All where going nutty. Officer didn't weigh me just flagged me over. walked around and said I needed new banners and flags. They where not bright enough. So fyi keep a fresh set of banners,and flags that are bright and clean. She did not write me up but i know good and damn well 1 banner was good, and 4 out of 6 flags where clean and bright. Also on I10 in Nm coming west bound coming out of Tx MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE PROPER LANE!!!!!!!!!!!! They are writing failure to follow traffic control device tickets. 5 csa points so 15 when done

Man glad you made it out alive althought battered and bruised. Nothing worse then a perfectley good truck laid over.
