I fired her up this afternoon and it was soooo cold, we had to use a shot of ether. Then we temporarily put the hood on for the winter, and Papa backed her out to the barn. Until spring, have fun hibernating ole U model! I'll still go out and look at you when I go to Nana and Papas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Nice Vinny! I thought Papa was going to hook the door on the tree or scratch the new paint. 2 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Nice Vinny! I thought Papa was going to hook the door on the tree or scratch the new paint.I looked away at the last second-forgot that there was no mirror on the door.Watching him back up all the way to the barn reminded me of how much I liked the reverse ratio on the 5 speed. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hahaha, thanks, a limb on that tree hooked that friggin horn thing, didnt scratch it though. All them gears in that 5 speed are pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 How long do you plan to keep her in?You could work slowly on the hood prepairing for paint.Or make up electric.Rear fenders attachment don't required warm weather also.For me it's normal practic to work 1-2 houres on a cold air with preparations and pauses inside a warm shop.

Nothings going to be done on the hood because its not really on there and its not on there right so we gotta line it up. The barns kinda far away from the garage as you can see so we can take little things off to do maybe, not big stuff. The fenders will be one of the last things to go on because it doesnt really need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Man......Vinny that Mack Machine sure gets my VOTE. I would at least get it out when a big snow comes this winter and do some four wheeling with it. Also see if it will pull itself out of a mud hole. If it can do that then that Mack gets an A+ in Mackology.Just kidding with ya!Keep up tha good jobmikep.s. My neck is sore from looking at it from the leaning situation it has.

slpwlker Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 But just one burnout wont hurt it BenI cheated with mine. Was up in Mi a couple of winters ago and got stuck bobtailing back to my trailer in the middle of lake effect snow. Was a slow ride 20 miles it sucked. Well got to a light after I turned off the main drag locked the power divider in put it in about 4th gear and turned it loose. The fiance was shitting a golden brick couldn't figure out what I was trying to do and when I started getting sideways she was holding on for dear life. I had a ball though. Came around a few corners and got on it to kick it around alittle. All was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even did a huge doughnut in 4wd. It took up the whole parking lot Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
