DavCut Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 I didn't get a chance to talk with the owner. He had a gooseneck trailer that you would typically see behind a hot-shot with a antique Ford tractor with a loader and I think a rake on it. You could see where a previous set of lettering had been on the passenger door that seemed to indicate the truck had been based out of Maine at some point.

yarnall Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 He usually brings it to Macungie and Mack Day so you can look him up in a couple weeks if you get there. He drove my H613 to Macungie a few years ago and caught the H model bug. It is a neat truck.

davehummell Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 The president of the local truck club has an H model. Steve usually has it on display at Harford Pa. truck show.

Yes, there's something very cool about seeing trucks that still wear their work clothes. It reminds me of how things used to be. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70421-h67-at-boyertown-%E2%80%9Ctractors-in-the-park%E2%80%9D-show/#findComment-509575 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1961H67 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I love those old company color schemes , You rarely see that anymore, as I have found out with my LJ , sometimes the guys in the shop would add a little different combination. They took “ Pride “ in company colors back then for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70421-h67-at-boyertown-%E2%80%9Ctractors-in-the-park%E2%80%9D-show/#findComment-509652 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Paint like that is a thing of the past. Getting that younger guys wouldn't have a clue what was involved in painting trucks like back then. It's all vinyl now. Lots of those old trucks were handsome, and it did involve pride in making them look like that. Lost art. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70421-h67-at-boyertown-%E2%80%9Ctractors-in-the-park%E2%80%9D-show/#findComment-509684 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one for parts (cab rusted out); I'm using the radiator, front axle, transmission, fifth wheel, and some small parts off of it. Good maintenance kept these parts in good shape. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70421-h67-at-boyertown-%E2%80%9Ctractors-in-the-park%E2%80%9D-show/#findComment-509687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel very lucky to own it. I am very proud to own all of them. My father has another MH of theirs and a Brockway 257. I am proud to preserve their history. Last month we went to New Hampshire and picked up a 1954 Chevy wagon that their salesman used in New York. It hasn’t run in 50 years though. It needs complete gone through. Also, I made two great friends in Tom and Ron Smith.

Brocky Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 That looks to be in good shape.. An easy refurbishment.. Are you going to be able to keep the original patina??

Are you going to be able to keep the original patina?? The rockers and floors are rusted, but otherwise it is solid. There are places where there are bare metal. I might need to have it clear coated, but I will not have it painted. Can anyone recommend a good mechanic who would go over the entire car? Thanks.
