loggeron30 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I just happened upon this thread and hoping to get a bit of info. My dad drove for Artim in the late 1960's. Did any of the Artim Macks have other paint schemes other than the one on the cover? I thought that they may have had a Red colored cab but cannot recall. Trying to make a model of my dad's trucks.

We have them both ways and to date, I have not seen a Mack case crack. Mine is direct mounted with an extra bracket hasn't been an issue.

Only been on for a couple months though You need the bracket because the mounting surface on the PTO is adjustable to turn it for clearance issues, and tightens up with some real small allen bolts and will pull out without the bracket. i know because i had one do that once. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/164/#findComment-461416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

storkmack Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 What is there to modernize? If it goes up and down, take it to PoundTown. Personally I like cables, if they mess up you usually can still work.

storkmack Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I’m going to guess that landfill was off of Cottage Grove north of Sauk Trail. there was a landfill northwest of our yard at one time also. Ford Heights is a shit hole Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/164/#findComment-465627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
