Diesel Brad Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I located a 1960 B series Mack with a Maxidyne 237 hp engine. ITs solid, runs well, brakes work, need batteries & tires. Its a 10 wheel model, I know little about Macks. Thought It would be interesting to restore. Is $1,500 a reasonable price for one ? Anything I should look out for ?

Superdog Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Sounds like a real decent price,especially if it is a 237.I sure wouldn't let it get away.If it has the old cast trunion,check it for cracks,as well as the front spring hangers,not that they can't be repaired or replaced.

I just might get it, neat looking truck. Might be worth spending the night in the doghouse from the wife. Im sure the Maxidyne 237 is a much better engine then the 9.0 My International has - thanks for the advo Quote Brad Cuba, Mo 1960 Mack B61 1985 Mack R686 1970 IH Loadstar 1600 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/1149-new-member-needs-advo/#findComment-5957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
