Popular Post Superdog Posted March 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2016 I couldn't figure out how to go back and bring up the old posts,if they even still exist (navigating this new upgraded site is about like going from a B61 to a new M-drive Pinnacle for me,it might be simpler,but I just don't get it). Had to run down to the hospital today and pickup my x-rays from Thurs. nite,gotta go get a MRI on my knee Wed. I took a fall loading and tore something up good,can't move my knee, so on the way back,talked my driver into making a detour . Anyway,here's a pic of the MH6122 a friend owns,not a very good pic,but I didn't get out of the truck, I didn't want to arouse any suspicion in my wife . You can tell how high it sits by comparing to the CH and van trailers parked next to it 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44414-pic-to-back-up-the-myth/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 That is a tall bugger. Now go get that knee fixed, life's to short to hobble around. 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

I actually got up,finished loading and got it delivered,but by the Time I got home is was having to lift my leg by hand to use the clutch. By the time my wife got off work I couldn't bend it at all.

fxfymn Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Man that sucks (the knee, the pic is great). I hope it turns out to be a mild sprain or something as benign as that.

j hancock Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Take it easy Mike. Probably should stay away from skateboards and roller skates. Pretty rare MH! Click title to get into the previous talk.

yarnall Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 With a bum knee you won't be able to get in and out of a truck that tall. You should give me the guy's number. Seriously, hope you heal quickly and I don't need another truck.

james j neiweem Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 If you tore a tendon get it operated on as soon as possible otherwise the muscle it was attached to will wither up and die. I know from experience from an old football injury. Actually many people have torn ligaments in there knees and not even know it. Knee is just a little loose. Kind of like sloppy ball joints. Wish you the best. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44414-pic-to-back-up-the-myth/#findComment-328152 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Seems like MH is too high and dangerous for you Mike. Otherwise I'd offer one to swap for RW. Just kidding. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Try to keep every thing in its load range. Including your activity.

Superdog Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Thanks for all the well wishes guys.I can't believe my banged up knee has generated more discussion than the 4x4 MH. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44414-pic-to-back-up-the-myth/#findComment-328225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Thanks for all the well wishes guys.I can't believe my banged up knee has generated more discussion than the 4x4 MH. Hope your knee is better soon, Mike. I was off work 3 weeks last year when that split rim jumped out and bit me, and I'm sure you know the sittin around doing nothing is worse than the pain. Enough about that, though. About the MH 4x4... Looks like a UPS unit judging by the mirrors. UPS also whitewashes most of their equipment before it is sold or scrapped. Do you know if all these MH 6122s were built for UPS, or were there others?

tjc transport Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 according to the mack museum guy all 4X4's were for ups. and a bum knee is no fun. i just finally had mine replaced after 6 years of pain so bad i could not step on the clutch.

Popular Post Superdog Posted March 23, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2016 Yes they were all built for UPS,this one still has the Custom built for tag on the dash. The transmission has been changed to a straight 5 speed. They're not ready to get rid of it quite yet,but I'm 1st on the list when they do. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44414-pic-to-back-up-the-myth/#findComment-328248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
