last time i was in Harrisburg right off of 81 i went past the Mack dealer and could have sworn they had a C model out back. they also had a B62 or B68 with factory bud wheels all the way around and i think a B42 was back there also.

I repaired the PTO two weeks ago (broken shift fork, it's made of stamped steel and I was able to weld it back together) and now the dump-box raises, I can now start the truck from within the cab (corroded starter cables at the starter motor and corroded terminals on the ignition switch were the culprit) and I now have the brake treadle valve assembly repaired. Unfortunately, the brakes are not yet working as they should as the brakes are not releasing. Ran out of time/daylight this weekend so that will be my next project. I began digging a wildlife pond and I intend to use this truck to haul the spoil from the lowland up to high ground. If I dont get it done soon, there is always next year. :)

Cool! Are you going to restore the truck? She looks good there, all them little things add up ya know? Keep up the good work and pictures! My U model doesnt have brakes either, the truck wont build air, so we didnt think it would move but it did. I think the compressors dead in mine.
