39 Baby Mack

Thanks for posting! Nice "Bullnose" KW and Camaro. Where's the B-61? Ron

What size oil pan? 28qt. oil pan + 2 filters@aprox. 3qts. each=34qts. 49qt oil pan + 3 filters@aprox. 3qts. each=58qts. Fill lube filters before installing! Ron

Four group 4 six volt batteries, two in each box wired in series to produce twelve volts. Ron

Congratulations! Ron

Can't remember for sure if they were MH's or not but UPS did have twin screws. Can't say I saw one on the road but I was waiting for one of our trucks to get off the PA Turnpike one night at exit 27, Willow Grove. While waiting I saw a bunch of UPS trucks come through the toll booth, they had a big hub up there probably still do. To my surprise there were quite a few twin screws which is something I had never saw before. After that I used to kind of keep a special look out for them when I'd be on the road, never saw another one again! And no I wasn't hallucinating, after mentioning it one of our drivers said that he had seen them once in awhile too! Ron

DynaMax clutch, was controlled with a treadle valve! Ron

That's one beautiful "R" model, Tell the guy at the Mack dealer that your truck has a chassis number rather than a VIN number! Ron

If it's a '72 should be positive ground, I would think it is 12volt. If the battery cables go right from the battery box to the starter it's definitely 12volt. What kind of batteries came out of it, group 4 six volt? Ron

Just goes to show, you gotta get lucky sometime!!! Ron

Welcome to the nut house! Ron

Thanks for posting Keith. Glad to see it's still around. I know I'm prejudice but I'm with mackdaddy would've looked great in our colors with a horseshoe on it! The last three H-67's we owned did have horseshoes on them. Truck was owned by Frame's motor freight in West Chester and was basically a parts truck, sitting for a few years with no engine or transmission. My brother and I had already gotten some parts off of it for our "H" models when our father all of a sudden decided to buy it and put it back together. I think that was around '73 or '74. I'm not sure but I believe Frame's (Frame, Morrison, and Ryan) were the original owners. Think it was a '61 Chassis # H673T-1353 Ron

Looks great Leslie! Ron

Only on twin screws. Ron

Hub and drum all one piece? Ron

Welcome to the nut house! Ron

Free rides for all BMT members! Ron

Free Trial Issue | Log in | 0The trackless trains of the 1939 New York World’s FairJim O'Clair May 8th, 2014 at 4pm | 39 comments Trackless train photos courtesy BusTalk.info. With all the focus recently on the 1964 World’s Fair and the release of the Ford Mustang, we thought it would be interesting to jump back another 25 years to another World’s Fair held in the same city. The 1939 fair was also a memorable one in terms of technology, Art Deco design and automotive history. “Building the World of Tomorrow, Remembering the World of Yesterday” was the theme of the fair, which was open for two seasons: from April 30 to October 31, 1939, and then again from May 11 to October 27, 1940. The Transportation Zone of the fairgrounds had pavilions sponsored by Ford, GM, Chrysler, Firestone, Goodrich and Budd. Additional buildings housed displays for aviation and marine designs as well as the railroad building which presented the “Railroads on Parade” pageant, a rolling history of rail service in America. The grand finale of the pageant featured both the Raymond Loewy-designed Pennsylvania RR K-4 streamlined locomotive and the NY Central RR, Henry Dreyfuss-designed Hudson J-3A engine, two of the most stylish train engines ever built. The Theme Center in the middle of the fairgrounds featured more iconic Art Deco designs with the 610-foot-tall Trylon and 185-foot-diameter Perisphere garnering most of the attention. Fairgoers paid 75 cents to walk through the front admission gate throughout the first summer, but prices were lowered to 50 cents on October 1. More than 26 million people visited the fair between its grand opening in 1939 and its final closing in 1940. Many of the visitors walked the vast expanse of pavilions and displays; however, Greyhound Bus Lines offered an alternative – trackless trains. For an additional 25 cents (15 cents for children) the trackless train would carry fairgoers from pavilion to pavilion. The trains were pulled around by a 67hp, 210-cu.in. Mack EN-11 (Continental F6209 L-head) six-cylinder engine placed inside a modified Mack truck body that still retained the 1938 Mack ED-series chrome grille. The people were seated in open-air trolley cars with canvas canopies that could carry up to 12 passengers per carriage. The trackless train was also available for any young boy to take home with them as well. Arcade Toy Manufacturing produced a diecast version of the trackless train as well as a diecast model of the Yellow Coach 1207 buses that brought visitors to the admission gates. Both are still very popular and sought after collectibles among vintage toy and die cast collectors. A good example of the trackless train still showing its original white decals can be worth more than $200 and even more with the original 1939 World’s Fair box it came in.

Congratulations, looks good! Ron

The oil filter is a W.G.B. oil clarifier made special for the Mack Co. not a Luberfiner. It is a full flow/bypass filter. The Luberfiner is only a bypass filter with two lines, the Mack filter has three. The Mack element # is 236GB311, the Baldwin # is P706-M The large lines are #16 Aeroquip, the small one if memory serves me is a #6. I would recommend using Aeroquip FC350 hose when replacing them. This hose, if they still make it, was designed to handle hot motor oil among other things. Ron

Being it's an '87, I would think it came with a Bendix AD-4. Ron

Welcome to B.M.T. neighbor! Ron

I wouldn't want to buy tires for it! Ron

That's a plus, they were the first self adjusting air brakes! And on the rare occasion you had to manually adjust them all you needed was about a gallon of CRC (per wheel) a BMF hammer and a BMF screwdriver!!!!! Ron

Happy Belated Birthday! Ron
