umodelnut Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Nice trucks! Does the steel nose still have the 864 in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 It sure does Vinny. The motor was pulled down when I got it,and we rebuilt it from top to bottom. Very hard to find parts for. Its one of only 25 RH drive units produced 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHfred Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I don't think I have ever seen an MH down your way. Were they thought to be not rugged enough for your use? You Aussies sure have some nice trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Aussies sure have some nice trucks.Mack did have a RH drive version of the MH. A business friend, who retired from Mack, talked about the strange looks he received driving the RHD MH around the Lehigh Valley. The passenger sitting in the LH seat would prop his feet up on the dash.I too would like to see some pics of RHD MHs. 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer52... please educate me some....I thought the Australian Ultraliners were also coded "MH".... or, is there a new code for Ultraliners in OZ...were they shipped in kits or completely made in OZ??I've seen a few photos on the net of Australian Ultraliners and figured they were MH's too....there is also the "Ultraliner II"... seems the cab is slightly raised and another step inserted...would appreciate your wikipedic knowledge of this variant... a couple of pics stolen off the webBC Mack 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmackb Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 The Ultra-Liner was available in Australia from the begining of 1985. It was built on an R model chassis and was designated MHR.From 1985 till mid 1991 there was about 250 Ultra-Liner's produced in Australia.Around the end of 1992 or begining of 1993 the Ultra-Liner 11 was released.These trucks had a raised cab and a setback front axle.The Ultra-Liner 11 appear to have been mostly E7-454 powered. IDSTBC on this.I'm not sure on production numbers or when production ceased on these Mk11's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I never liked the Ultra Liner 2. I thought it was ugly with the steback axle. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHR it is..!!not many made then... hard to justify a cab production line with those numbers or were the cabs made in usa??..BC MACK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Nice trucks! Were your F models available with a fiberglass cab? I thought I had read something years ago stating that.

jeffmackb Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 In late 1971 early 1972 the FR-700R's became available with a fibreglass cab. These cabs were made by Reinforced Plastics in Melbourne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
