Olivetroad Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I saw this truck today while truck shopping. It would make a good off road log truck!Did Mack build their own four wheel drive front end or did someone like Marmon build conversion kits for them?

41chevy Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Mack built the trucks. Mine has an Eaton front end and Mack transfer caseI've seen a few AWD Mack mixers with Mack Transfer cases and Mack style front diffs too, same pumkins as the rears but in a steer banjo. The rubber looks like Military pattern.Thats a DM? looks like the DMM style set up.

miro Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Mack used to build the DMM complete as a 6 X 6 from the mid 70's. They were some of the first trucks to have early ABS (POS) Thay stayed the same untill I believe the 90's when the owners realised that that front axle and transfer case took a lot of load away from them, so Mack build the RD with a long wheel base and shipped them to Quebec to have a second steer axle put under them. They also had Meritor axles with PD lock amd axle locks and Chalmers suspensions for better traction.

miro Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 It could be from Canada, built at the Oakville Ontario plant. The trucks built there had a maple leaf under the Bulldog on the door. The one above may have had body work done Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21738-dm690-six-wheel-drive-super-singles/#findComment-91724 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaddeusW Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Mack did build their own front drive axle until the late 70's or so. They even built their own transfer case into the 80's. Today I see factory Granites with Marmon axles and probably Marmon transfer cases. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!
