Popular Post 70mackMB Posted August 31, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2016 Well, we made our deadline for the Barrington Old truck meet in Deering, NH. It's been a long road in a short time, but the old dog runs good now. Still a long way to go, but we know it will get there and back home now atleast. Cosmetics are on docket now. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46635-our-little-mb/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 70mackMB Posted August 31, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2016 Getting the head gasket and pistons situated, we changed the partially missing battery boxes, found a dog and mount by shi+ luck, and got it to the show. Looking forward to more shows and getting her back to her original fleet status as an Overnite city tractor. Slow but sure 👍 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46635-our-little-mb/#findComment-344080 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I hear you on the getting it running right. Spent a couple years and my budget building an engine for my F-model, bodywork on the back burner for now. Nice to know I have a reliable ride I can drive anywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46635-our-little-mb/#findComment-344296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Two awesome "horses" I've never driven an MB, but I lived 2 miles from Overnites Washington county Pa terminal,is that a compound? I noticed 2 sticks in some of their tractors. I drove an F model on a Margate Florida jobsite with an ancient Rodgers lowboy.Always liked the looks and interior room of an F model! Both tractors look great the way they're painted! I can't picture a MB in anything other than overnite colors. I guess it doesn't matter now that overnite has sold out to UPS,but are there any legalities involved in painting the name of a defunct company on a "replica" tractor?

glitchwrks Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) Hey, this is the one I just about bought last fall, 11429 old Overnite line haul, Phelan trailer! Put in a deposit and everything, and then I couldn't get anyone to move it! I'm so glad to see this is being wrenched on and not cut up for parts or doing shunt duty or something! I know where another one of these sits, in southern VA -- been eyeballing it ever since I started working at a place near the limestone plant it's at. When I looked at it, the previous owner fired it up...noticed it seemed to have a lot of blowby and an oil seep from the rear head. I guess the chipped piston would at least partly explain the blowby. Did you drive it all the way to NH or have it hauled? I've got a few pictures from when I went and looked at it, if you'd like me to post them.
