Andy Wright Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks Ironman Dan and FDNY. I will add these two to the registry shortly. Just come off a non-stop stint at work and not too keen about sitting in front of a computer at the moment! Quote Whatever rubs your buddah.

fxfymn Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Mine is 75A-1028, one of three delivered to the City of Richmond, VA. 75A-1029 is already on here and 75A-1027 is in a warehouse in Roanoke, VA.I'm looking for any other Type 75A's that are still out there. I know 75A-1014 is still in Stamford, CT where it is maintained by the FD that originally purchased it. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

yarnall Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Can you add my two A models to the list. The first is a fire truck SN 405 A 1002. It is the second of 68 made. It is unrestored and runs well. We did have to go over the brakes. The second is a cab and chassis that I bought to save from the scrap heap A20H 1844. It is in rough condition. I recently looked at an A40 that is for sale. The guy is asking $6000, but I told him it is not worth that much. It's serial number is A40H7443. I have added a picture of the 405 A when it was new and a picture of the A40.Thanks,Michael Yarnall1466 Manatawny Dr. Boyertown, PA 19512610 326 1656 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Pommerening Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Hi Andy; Neighbor is moving and gave me his A. Been sitting in the woods for a while but looks surprisingly complete and straight. Am new to the group so here goes. The plate on pass seat riser says it is model A40H 8470.The number on the block. EN377-62-43. Was unable to find frame # behind spring mount. Don't know what year. Can you let me know? It has a gas saddle tank with a Mack brass plate. Model R40, serial# 52 3. No box or 5th wheel. Probably used as logging truck. Has a single rear axle and air brakes. The rear diff is the common vertical ring gear, not the horizontal Mack style I thought was common. Thanks, Keith Update 6/14/15 Was able to talk to person who last worked the truck...39 years ago! His name was hand painted on the door. He thinks it is a 1952 model. Said truck had been in the iron mines at Hibbing, Mn before he bought it. He used it to pull a lowboy trailer for his excavating and gravel business. Have been working on freeing up the engine for the last month. Pulled the spark plugs and have been squirting various magic elixers into cylinders. Tried diesel and ATF, acetone and powersteering fluid, and Marvel Mystery OIl with either acetone or diesel. Has not worked yet. Have a chain wrench on drive shart near a yoke, with a five foot pipe cheater. No luck. Step on clutch and pipe falls so clutch and trany should not be the problem. Thought since the air compressor is bolted to gear case on front of engine, it might be stuck. So put "Magic Potion" in that too. Would think if engine was loose it should atleast rock enough to take up gear slack. Pulled starter and drive gear is well worn but ring gear looks O.K. Looked up part # in Delco-Remy site...yep big red discontinued. Looked in inspection plate on front of tranny. Back side of clutch and throw-out bearing look great. Put plate back on. Asked a friend about the "non-Mack" looking rear diff. He asked me if the Bulldog was silver or gold. It is silver. He said it must have been order w/o mack diff. If it was purebreed Mack it would be gold with Mack engine, trans and diff. Since I'm a "puppy poster" I can be uninformed and ask dumb questions. Wonder what this thing is worth? Anyway, having fun wasting time and getting dirty! Update 2/12/16 Received some info from the Mack Museum. Said the truck was delivered on September 30, 1952 to Mesabi Supply and Service in Hibbing, Mn. through the St. Paul branch. Doug said the truck was built with a single reduction RAS400 rear differential, the CRS76 had a 6.86 ratio. The two speed rear is a change that was made later. Now, all I have to do is wait two months to get the full package from the museum. Took a shot in the dark and sent an e-mail to the Hibbing Historical Society asking for more info on the business. The ultimate goal would be to get a picture of the truck as it was originally used. Worked with the last owner and we were able to get a title and plates. Had to take a picture from all four sides and had him sign the lost title form from the state. Licensed it as a 15,000# farm truck. License bureau lady said if I titled as a farm truck for the first year, collector plates would be much cheaper when purchased later. What should I license this as, how heavy.... Not sure if a collector plate is the way to go. Suggestions? Thanks, Keith Edited March 1, 2016 by Keith Pommerening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 They did not use Gold bulldogs when the A-Model was biult only chrome ones. Gold dogs came out in 1965 I think with the Maxidyne,Maxitorque power train. Good luck with your A-Model. Paulkunz your A-20 looks great good luck.

snowmobile02067 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Good luck to both of you on the new toys. On the stuck motor, you might have as good luck pulling the manifold, the valves can stick as hard as the pistons and you will not get a lot of oil down there. If you end up going deep into the motor it gets quite pricey, but they are such neat trucks they are worth it. There are a couple of resources on the east coast that would be helpful, if you want. Matt Pfahl has done a few of them and is a wealth of information. I would love to get some pictures of the floor on one. Mine is all but missing. PM me if you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBH Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I have a 53 A. Last served in a rock quarry. I also have a request in to the Mack museum for more information. Not too sure, but I think it's a A54 model. Will follow up when I have more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBH Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The serial or VIN number is A40X9799. Perhaps someone can decipher this for me and tell me exactly what model A it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
