vision386 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Yep, made it home without any issues, well maybe one....there is one hell heck of a bump around Kutztown, PA on I-78. Going down hill, hit the bump, and jumped out of gear. Why is 78 so dang bad?78's been rough as long as I've driven a truck! shake your guts loose for sure!

rsb502 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 This one was for sale overhere about a year ago.The price was too far from to be nice and you can note the scale of disaster on it.I have seen the same truck for sale locally about 14 years ago. It was solid with a damaged engine although for reasonable money.Although it was too out of my pocket and needs those days.Probably had E6-350 under the hood cab.theres not much Mack left in that one is there? headlights are gone, grille is gone, roof is gone, I dont know what that is now.

james j neiweem Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 That paint job on the Brown MH makes it look more like a Mack. If that makes any sense from an old man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Great Thread. I only wish it was under the Modern Mack discussion rather than the Antique thread.When you consider the Freightliner Argosy 2, Kenworth K200 and International 9800i sold today (in global markets), an updated Ultra-Liner or a totally evolved Ultra-Liner II would be a far superior truck.The Ultra-Liner was extremely advanced in engineering, and arguably the safest COE cab design still to this day. The Ultra-Liner could easily have been developed forward to remain a cutting edge product in the global COE market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAD DOG Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 The paint on my MH was actually Maroon with the orange stripe. But in the light I took the photo in makes it look brown. It was an old Maksteel truck from Toronto it pulled a 6 axle trailer and super B trains when it was on with them. They had a bunch of them with V8 power they also had a bunch of Superliners and R Models too all that paint scheme. They looked good back in the day anyone around southern Ontario that sees those colours knows it's old Maksteel colours. Now they have Pete's no paint code. And yes the Mack MH was a well built Cabover air ride cab rode good and stayed tight and quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I remember Superdog's buddies,Nelson Trucking out of Mediapolis,Iowa trucking wallboard out of Waukegan,Il. with a fleet of MH's. Mack green,red frames,hand lettered, usually clean and always sharp. Sorry, no pics . There was a story in the BULLDOG a few years ago. They also have the dealership there.

Vladislav Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 theres not much Mack left in that one is there? headlights are gone, grille is gone, roof is gone, I dont know what that is now.Headlights are still original, just covered with some "protection", roof is in its place as I was told.Although the powertrain is Cummins NTC probably 290, eaton/fuller 10 speeds(?), eaton axles with some strange four separate spring suspension.It lost 4 rear inside wheels, or more correctly found 2 front and four rear nearly original 22.5's in place of 20's.The compressor is broke down and the guy need money although the price is at least two times out of the range and far from to be fair.

james j neiweem Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Marcel Nothing beats a long wheelbase MH with an E9. I remember a silver and red frame long wheelbase MH for sale at Allentown Mack about 10 years ago. I believe it was posted somewhere on here with its new owner. It had an E-9 and was selling for 12000 or 15000 grand at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Vladislav you describe rear suspension as strange four spring. Most likely Reyco 101 or 102. It was a popular suspension in highway and fleet trucks until air ride became popular. It was lighter in weight than walking beam or camelback. Definitely a nono for off road work as it did not articulate very well or hold up in vocational work. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most other trucks than Macks I'm familiar with (lightly familiar) are the locally used ones wich all are of 90's and 00's years. The "strange' thing I ment there were some brackets in betveen the springs of the FR and RR axles to wich the ends of those springs were attached. Just not too commonly used design nowadays on my mind. Vlad. Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
