Removed previous Owner's lettering and had truck relettered and striped. Added new emblems and fender mirrors. Most of the aluminum has been polished, a little more to go! Looking forward to getting it registered and out on the road. Truck looks great, you not driving for Alky any more or you have someone driving it for you. Are you going to do up the other Superliners you have. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfothergill Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hello Jack, I am still working for Alky, buy as ever. I have been wanting to put a truck on the road for a while. I have a good friend and would like to see him treated well. I have had owner operators working for us and figure why not add a Superliner into the mix. May not launch it until the spring, but time will tell. Red Horse, New Hampshire has been loosing Federal Highway funds because we have been able to certify trucks and trailers that don't meet the federal bridge formula. NH has changed their laws in order to get the federal funding. You must meet the inner bridge formula (36' from front drive axle to rear trailer axle) to be legal on the interstates. All other state roads are still good for the shorter lengths. The tru-axle tractor will make it legal with a trailer shorter than the new ones that meet the bridge formular.NH allows 99,000 on 6 axles plus 5% which gets us up to 103,800. They are telling us that they are supposed to start axle weighing us and when they do, it will be pretty much impossible to get the drive axles legal, so the tri-axle tractor with the axle down will correct that problem.

Thx for response. Mass waived the bridge formula when they went to 99,000 back in like 80 (?) we had 11,800 gal Heils with 50,000 lb tandems on tank-axles were set forward so nice for getting in and out of old locations You still see some of these old Heils in service. Would be nice if Me, NH, VT Ma and RI were uniform. forget about Ct!-still at 80,000 on 5 axles I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfothergill Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Yes, it would be nice if we could run tandem 26 foot trailers like the guys in Mass. As you say, so much easier to get around the cities. I pull a 38' Mac trailer, and the extra distance between the tractor axles and trailer axles make for a smoother all around tide even on the highways. You get used to the length, I end up backfilling foundations and you can get pretty close to the building if the excavation guys plan for trailers.

bulldogboy Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Meadowood County Area Fire Department, Fitzwilliam, NH, once ran this early Mack "B" model pumper as a muster truck. MCAFD was a private fire department that ran a fire school and provided specialized fire equipment (dive team, rescue tools, tankers, and a couple of former FDNY Mack "Aerialscopes") mutual aid to fire departments in southwest NH, southeast VT, and north central MA. It is now out of business. bulldogboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Severino is running a lot of Granite AF and AB up near dover along with Peterbilt tri axle trailers. I believe the Granites have Allisons. Was up to NH over the weekend and Severinos Granites and RD's are crawling all over Dover like ants. I believe they have about 20 dual axle dumps. The Peterbilt tractors may be in jeopardy as I saw a new Western Star pulling a tri axle dump trailer. Also they have a nice old axle forward A car converted to a water truck. Mack is missing out on the big power CH that could be pulling those tri axle trailers. Mack still seems to be pretty strong in Eastern Mass and NH.

Big Gulf station on the west side of 93. I don't remember the name but I bought a 40' drop frame from the guy. I remember he still had a bunch of old Colonial Sand & Stone stuff from NYC.

It would have been around 1980-85. But for sure I remember the Colonials-I think there was at least one Biederman in the bunch. Trailer was used to mount a processing tank. Today you call someone up and in a couple of hours you have a frac tank on site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogboy Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Nashua sold it in 1974. I don't know the timeline but eventually it ended up in Londonderry, NH where the firefighters' association rehabbed it and lettered for Londonderry. I guess they wanted to use it for parades, etc. but I never saw it around. Several years ago I saw it for sale on "E-bay". It was in Barre, MA at the time, the owner also had a Mack "B-21F" for sale. If it's in NJ, I'm glad to hear that it is still around, It was a classic Mack fire truck. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
