Frmconcrete09 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hey guys, and gals, glad to be part of the forum .. I like learning about these ole macks as we run them daily in the concrete industry, and actually just got back from a 12 hour trip picking up a dm690s which we left behind the first trip down that had problems on the way home but luckly was close enough to an exit with a shop close enough to fix it in one week. Another broken rocker, which is not our first one, but hopefully our last.. sure makes alot of racket. Anywho, Thanks for having me.

Frmconcrete09 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Picked up in dawsonville georgia, We bought two, one made it home the other made it about 90 mile north of nashville and broke the rocker on the number 5 cylinder, took us 5 hours down and 6 hours and some change on our way back today as she'd only run right around 64-65 mph. Which is plenty back home.. And your not kiddin about the whole illinois thing, wow, what a mess we have... not to get political but we oughta give chicago away, lol... if that would be possible..

Not hard to fix but inconvenient at any time.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Frmconcrete09 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yeah no kiddin rob, Mack was supposed to have the rocker in chattanooga, and have it shipped out the next day, however called back and they said they had to drive down to atlanta and pick it up themselves.. I was pretty pleased with their service and price, as i couldn't hardly sleep leaving a mack behind.
