Olivetroad Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I got back from a trip today and while I was gone, one of my in-house brain surgeons was supposed to remove a front mounted winch from a utility truck and palletize it for shipment.I forgot to tell him that the batteries for the truck were installed under a door on the side of the front bumper-winch and that they needed to be rerouted. He found them and instead of installing a battery box on the frame, this is what I found.If you need any battery boxes built or any invasive intercranial brain surgery, you can get in touch with him through me.Also, please note the yellow powder on the front of the truck. I bet I also have a fire extingusher that needs recharging.

oldmacktrucks Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Nice! He didnt want to unbolt it? Looks like he took the flame wrench to it and cut the chassis...I got one better for you, my guy was told to "take the engine out" of the steel nose RD and get it ready as per the guy who bought it was coming to pick it up...my cousing and I return to find the entire nose cut off the truck (with a torch) and the floor cut out so he could unbolt the bell housing. I guess I should have mentioned to him that we were going to be saving all the tin and the cab. Make a long story short, another Mack ended up being scrapped. If ya dont do it yourself id aint gonna git dun rite lol!

oldmacktrucks Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Well, all it needs is banding around it and I guess it would be considered "palletized" Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16729-new-stream-of-revenue-building-battery-boxes/#findComment-67920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that some of the fine pine he used is black and burned - surely he did not use the Arkansas Hot Wrench to try and cut the wood did he?

oldmacktrucks Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hows this for a New York flame wrench (AKA engine removal) hack job? The cab and nose were mint. Notice the firewall cut out in order to remover the tranny? Gotta love cheap labor Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16729-new-stream-of-revenue-building-battery-boxes/#findComment-68078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
