Joe Ditchkus Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 That picture proves it takes more than horsepower to move loads gearing (reduction). Joe D.

Gmerrill0516 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Nice picture, thanks for posting it. There are some videos on youtube showing a Mack train type unit being winched aboard a lowbed then being hauled with a B-81 and another convoy of trucks hauling cars and engines up to Maine if I am not mistaken. Both are vintage video with the former being withour sound. I hope to get a 5th wheel for my 815 at some point be able to lug some heavy stuff around for fun.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Great picture Paul. It would be safe to say NY always had a lot of Macks on the road and on the job sites.

41chevy Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Great picture Paul. It would be safe to say NY always had a lot of Macks on the road and on the job sites.When I grew up all there was in big trucks here was Mack and Autocars and the municipals were alway Internationals. Never saw any other brands to much.

Green Dash Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 When I grew up all there was in big trucks here was Mack and Autocars and the municipals were alway Internationals. Never saw any other brands to much. PaulIn the early-mid 70's, the Town of Brookhaven had several FWD's at their shop on Old Town Rd. in Coram. Those were the only FWD's I remeber seeing on the Island.My sister worked at the Dining Car 1890 restaurant in the late 70's. They had 3 or 4 retired cars that made up the seating areas. I don't know if it's still there but it was located on Rte 25A, just east of Nicolls Rd.
