Foxyjosh Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Not yet. The engine is stuck so we plan to soak the pistons with ATF/Acetone and see if we can get it unstuck. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43041-mack-belly-dump/#findComment-544890 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeH Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 That's pretty awesome. Never know what someone will find logging into this site! I hope it runs, it looks clean, no rust in that flyer. I'd love to see that thing working on a job site, but I don't suppose that'd be good for preservation and whatnot. Probably didn't sell more as a Scraper does the work of 2 pieces of equipment, self loads and hauls it off to dump. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43041-mack-belly-dump/#findComment-544891 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 can remember seeing pictures and literature of them back in the day ; don't think east coast was a prime spot for their sales .. it's always a good day when seeing another piece of history saved. specially when that piece says MACK on it! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43041-mack-belly-dump/#findComment-544896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have shows where we can all come see this beast? We are the Harry Young Chapter of Northeast Ohio (https://www.facebook.com/HarryYoungChapter) and the club is the Historical Construction Equipment Association. (HCEA.net) Our club will have an open house the last Saturday in April. I'm not sure if you're interested in other makes of truck but, we have 3 AC Macks in various stages of restoration, a 1918 WWI White TBC, a 1913 Buick car with a gas starter, and an Indiana dump truck to name a few. (I have a video of the Indiana on YouTube) We have draglines from Bucyrus Erie, Northwest, P&H, Lorain and a steam powered Erie that is being worked on. Bulldozers from Alis Chalmers, Euclid, Cletrac, A GE yard locomotive on about 300' of track (I call this train "The Bi-polar express") We also have a few unique and rare pieces like the Mack Pack, a concept Euclid wheel dozer (only 2 ever built), a prototype Euclid L-20, and the Euclid FFD1 Dyno truck used at Euclid's proving grounds. Our address is: 3498 Frost Rd. Mantua, Ohio 44255 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43041-mack-belly-dump/#findComment-544912 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I did save a Chrysler slant six years ago by removing the head, soaking the cylinders and tapping on pistons real carefully I was able to free it up and use it. I was wondering if gaskets were available for anything that Old best of luck with it… bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43041-mack-belly-dump/#findComment-544935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 but looking at that photo you posted about that old shovel reminded me when I was like kid they used to be a lot of old-fashioned steam shovels they were using on the job back in the early 60s they’ve come along way… oooooooooohhhh by the way, I am off today. Plenty of time to play with my phone…. Bob 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43041-mack-belly-dump/#findComment-544943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have operational steam rollers however, no one in the club is trained to operate steam equipment so our steam machines are static display only.

Not sure what the model number is. The blade is fixed to the frame and is raised and lowered by the cylinders pushing down on the tracks. The blade can't be tilted and the rigid mount makes it hard to see what you are doing. This design wasn't very popular so many were not made. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43041-mack-belly-dump/#findComment-544956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
