1958 F.W.D. Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Great story, I'm sure we can get something together for Double Clutch with some gathered up photos.Mack was such an innovator in the industry. The talented staff was the reason for their success for decades.no other brand can claim industry changing innovations as Mack can.I have a movie highlighting the Maxidyne comparison, that corresponds to the fuel barrel promotional item, it is a fantastic film.Doug I would like to write a tribute to Jim Winsor for Double Clutch, maybe co-write it with Robert Gabrick. How would I go about proposing this???? 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I would love to know how far they were able to push the new Maxidyne when they were developing it. Any new engine design needs to be tested to see its potential and wonder if they tuned a few of them up on the dyno just to see what they could really do. I can just picture big smiles in the dyno room when they saw some of the early testing results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just picture big smiles in the dyno room when they saw some of the early testing results.When I was at dog house (mid 80s) the test lab had several "rock crusher" test procedures. The hp/torque settings for the "rock crusher" tests were always above "normal" ratings. I just don't remember the percentages.

Believe it or not it's actually something that I excel at. Been published several times over the years in various fire-service trade magazines. Just wasn't sure who to propose the article to over at Double Clutch. Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
