Mandrewoid Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 From a video about Battleship New Jersey's gun barrels. This beautiful old Mack was used to haul the heavy load. I've never seen a Dayton hub with so many spokes, anyone know what this is?

doubleclutchinweasel Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I am pretty sure that tractor (or one like it) is in my "Mack: Driven for a Century" book. Think it says "Big Snort", or something like that, on the hood. Will look that up tonight. Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

doubleclutchinweasel Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Looks like this truck (from the Mahan collection) has been the subject of a conversation here before. Look about half-way down, where B66 is helping with the serial number. Edited November 19, 2021 by doubleclutchinweasel Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Popular Post BGarofalo Posted November 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2021 In a non-planetary I believe the sw80 was the heaviest offering. Has 8 spokes and is 9 ft wide.

What's the axle ratio? Is it a Mack double reduction?
