HeavyGunner Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 S'pose he meant to cross that humped up median between the road and the bike path? Look like things could be a little too top heavy to be crawling over stuff like that.

It has to have been since 2000 based on the ford in the background.

Popular Post fxfymn Posted August 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2016 Quote How old is this photo? It awesome to see an old Mack like this still working. The real story is he brought the truck to the island when it was new and being a thrifty Yankee he refuses to pay the ferry fare to move it back to the main land.

BillyT Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 If he had the skill to move that house ,he would have no problem building his own ferry from logs and empty 55 gallon drums. Then he could pull an outside dual and attach a pulley and leather belt from one of those old textile mills and add a brass screw from an old lobster boat !! Nuthin' to it!

mattb73lt Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 That looks like Polpis Rd. area. I think that was in/around 2013. It was still sitting on I-beams when I saw it, if it is the same one. Of course I missed the B model getting a work out. There was a B-81 doing some house work out there several years ago, missed that one too Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46477-mobile-home-nantucket-style/#findComment-342694 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb73lt Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Boy, was I off. Still awesome to see working, though. That's got to be a huge disruption on those little roads at peak vacation times. Was out there the last week in July, simply beautiful out there. Maybe there's some more work out there by Sankaty Light, before those houses tumble into the sea. One house has about 10 feet of backyard left.

bbob61 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Is there someone under the trailer in front of the first dual wheel assembly either standing or bent over? Damn !!

Maddog13407 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 heavy spec B61sx by the looks of the straight across U B81 series front axle.

Red Horse Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 My bet is this is a case of "move it" or it falls into ocean. This is common issue on "islands"- Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. You can't believe some of the money being spent to do this. Hmnn -wonder if O'bummer is going to move his summer house from Vineyard to Nantucket? Kind of hoping he would go back to his "old country"! In anycase, B is a beauty. Talk about confidence- if I was doing that for sure I would have had a dozer in there blading that hump away. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46477-mobile-home-nantucket-style/#findComment-342975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
