j hancock Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Mack 1 on the left was a B63SX tractor with two B.M. Clark trailers. 175 HP.Mack 2 on the right was 1957 B63SX with a removable straight body pulling full trailers also at 175 HP. Both listed as using a TRQ-72 transmission.Nice article in the WOTS Mar/Apr 1991 about the two trucks. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

j hancock Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 are they fire wood loggers? why in the hell would you buck them into 4 ft. chunks, I don't understand!It is pulp wood for the manufacture of paper. Northern Maine and New Hampshire had lots of paper mills years ago. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

other dog Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 All the pulpwood around here used to be 5 foot lengths, it could be a pain in the ass to haul and many a load was thrown off if the driver wasn't very careful with it. And many a load was reloaded onto trailers by the roadside by hand.Good thing about it was that many people made a living cutting pulpwood then, all you needed was a good saw and a one ton truck and you were in bidness. Some folks just used a pickup truck to haul to the woodyards, then they'd load it on a trailer to take it to the mill. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Joe Ditchkus Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Quite the load for 175 HP. No doubt the Quadbox and most likely 7.00 or lower gears got it moving no problem. Good thing it is fairly level terrain, it would be hard on a driver and truck in mountainous areas with that load. I live in Northeastern Pa. not much softwood here. We have a lot of oak,cherry,hickory and ash. Nice nostalgic pictures.

Mike Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 That White reminds me of one in the Hot Rod Magazine back in about 1965. It had a 12 cylinder engine and I recall the driver had to look out the front vent window.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34657-wicked-wednesday/page/8/#findComment-248880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
