Bigdogtrucker Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Just curious how many of them were made,and how many may be left? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34254-h61s/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackdaddy Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I have 2 and I know there are a few others out there. One is now in Australia too. I would love to find some of the long wheel base tractors I have seen in books and magazines that were out on the west coast. also a few truck and trailers. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34254-h61s/#findComment-226925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The Montville book says 484 between 1952-57 and 3 of the H613. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Superdog Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 There were 81 H60's built with gas power,some of them were repowered at the factory with diesels before being sold. A friend of mine has a original gas powered H60. They offered the Cummins engine in the H61's also,thats why they were available up to '57,overlapping the H63. Be interesting to know why Mack didn't call the Cummins powered ones H71's,instead of leaving them as H61's. I've never seen one in person,but have seen pics.

57 bcr Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I was going to say I have a buddy with an H-60 also Mike. I think its probably the same guy!

yarnall Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Here is a link to a conversation about Smith's H60T. They also had 6 H61's and the 3 H613's. I have their only remaining H613T. I will try to post a picture. Brad Wyke? in the Carolina's has several H61's. He is the guy restoring Evil's F model. He wrote a great article about them for Wheels of Time several years ago. I don't think it is legal for me to post it.

Tony Ingram Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Just sold my 61 & 63 to Brad so he's got 1 more cherry picker. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34254-h61s/#findComment-227042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuhlz Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 My bookmark for Brad Wike's website doesn't load, so I suppose he took down his webpage. Bradsclassictrucks.comHere is a link of the Evil's truck and Brad W speaking.

Now you can hunt for something else. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34254-h61s/#findComment-227049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ingram Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Relocated to the beach so finding a lot big enough to store 3 trucks wasn't realistic. I kept my 61' G Model. It's too clean and original. Pretty much just needs to be taken apart, painted and put back together. RV parking will be a priority while buying cause I'm not getting rid of all of my trucks. Brad seemed like a good guy. I know he'll fix them up right and appreciate them. I know he just went through a split with the wife and she took down his web page. He has a FB page now.
