Popular Post doubleclutchinweasel Posted June 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2013 Haven't fixed a blasted thing lately! Just been drivin' it some. Driving to work. Driving to see the grandsons. They like to blow the horn! Here's a picture of the Dawg at dusk, waitin' on a pizza... 7 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Mike Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'll be the first to say it looks good and glad you are driving it. It is the way that I want to enjoy mine someday. Thanks for sharing it with us. Those kids will always remember it. I know that I did when I was a kid.mike 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31767-just-drivin-it/#findComment-191888 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Looks good in a parking lot.I also drove my R once to McDonald's with my sun and his friend.To our sorry the lot was too tight so I had to park the truck in hundred yards off.The horn was also out of service but it was a funny trip anyway. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31767-just-drivin-it/#findComment-191923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy it!!!12 yrs later, I'm not as excited, but I still use it for what I intended it for. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

rsb502 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 That's awesome everybody needs an old truck to drive around, it looks great. I take the Superliner to town every other week, I may take it to the cruise in these Friday now that I'm thinking about it.

doubleclutchinweasel Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Drove The Dawg to work 3 times this week. Nothin' like an R-model for a daily driver!Finally did replace the water filter supply hose. It was pretty rough. Of course, when I opened the "spigots" to let the antifreeze back in, they both leaked. $#!&$#. Took them out temporarily & put plain elbows in. Nice thing about an old Mack; you can usually fix one with parts from the hardware store! Seems like we have forgotten that on all the new stuff...By the way, the hose fittings on mine were 45º "SAE" fittings, not 37º "JIC" fittings. ..just in case anybody was interested...All the stuff I've done on this toy so far has been very educational. Sorry I'm not better at documenting it with pictures. But, I would be glad to advise on anything I've learned. 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Maddog13407 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I have both on my ring, came across a door lock set with the Mack logo leys NOS and I think all B Models came with Briggs and Stratton keys from the factory I think even the newer B models with key start had Briggs and Stratton keys. wonder why??

I just figured somebody needed a key, & only the Briggs & Stratton blank would fit. Had no idea it might be original. Or maybe the B&S stands for something else!

Maddog13407 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 nope . Every B model I have ever seen that was original had a Briggs and Stratton key. dunno why. the Mack logo keys came out in the late 60's with the R models I think Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31767-just-drivin-it/#findComment-194534 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 A club member has an absolutely beautiful 1932 American LaFrance fire truck that he restored himself over a six year period. He and his bride use it to go out to dinner when it is not being shown. Now that's class! Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

rsb502 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Mack, Blue Bird and several other manufacturers used Briggs and Stratton ignition switches back in the day. I was always told that Briggs was always the low bid on ignition switch sets. I was also told only about half of the OE's had their own logoed keys made and the rest (Mack, etc.) Used the Briggs key to keep the price per unit down.
