a5redwing Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'm just curious, but whats the difference between a ch600 and ch613 if any? Quote Drew Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20224-ch-models/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

a5redwing Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 I think I'm with you Bob, Kinda like F150-F650 is a F series. I know a ch 612 is a single axle, so you're probably right.

Terry T Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 The basic truck is a CH600. A CH612 is a Mack powered single drive truck, a CH613 is a Mack powered tandem drive truck. I cannot remember any more if Mack offered any other power in the CH but during the run of the CL Cat power was avalible and they were CL753's and Cummins Power was avaible and they were CL733's if memory serves me. The MH was the same/similar as well. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20224-ch-models/#findComment-83930 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the CH offered anything other than mack engines, but just because I've never seen one doesn't mean anything.pretty good rundown,,hate to see people put cummins in,,but differant parts of country,the cummins is alott easier to get parts.bobI'm with you Bob, but I'd rather see a Cat or Cummins before a Mercedes, Etc.

Jamaican Bulldog Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I believe the CH600 was also the set back axle tandem and the CH613 the axle forward tandem . It also seems like the CH613 were used for heavier applications like dumps and low boy tractors Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20224-ch-models/#findComment-478257 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Yes, the CH was only available with the E7 Mack. The CL originally was available with E7, E9, Series 60 Detroit and 3406 Cat. Detroit disappeared (can't remember which year) and when the E9 and Cat were discontinued from them it was E7 and Signature/ISX Cummins only. I could be wrong but I think the last years of production the ONLY engine in the CL was the ISX. I'm lucky enough to have driven all versions.

Popular Post Dirtymilkman Posted August 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2021 Ch600 was the series. The numbers have a meaning. First number is frame. 6 is light frame and 7 was heavy. No ch 700s were made but a cl you could get 6 or 700. Next number was engine. 1 was a Mack, 3 was cummins and 5 was cat. Last number was the number of axles. A ch612 was a single axle and 613 was a tandem. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20224-ch-models/#findComment-478271 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 5 CHs built as a test for a US customer with L10 Cummins in the early 90s. They exist on the Mack parts system as CH633s. Never made it to production and not sure who they were built for. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20224-ch-models/#findComment-480393 Share on other sites More sharing options...
