Old Mack Brochure Images

[doubleclutchinweasel]

Here is a 1980 brochure on the revised (CA49) cab from a few years back.

[doubleclutchinweasel]

Not sure of the year, but here an R615.  I wish some of these had been bigger and better.

DCW, l have several on the MB. l post one in the window at shows for people to read.     .....Hippy

[doubleclutchinweasel]

How about a few components?

[doubleclutchinweasel]

This has to be one of my favorites!  The newer galvanized cab.

[doubleclutchinweasel]

This particular (1965) one is a good reference, because it shows the "standard" configurations of 2 different R600 models, and it has the second page which shows options.  You can see the optional engines, transmissions, and clutches...among other things...on the 2nd page.  For instance, it shows the ENDT-673C engine option for the R611.  Wish I had a bunch of these in person!

Hard to do.  The engine almost disappears between the frame rails!

Yes, I remember it was very tiny compared to the rest of the truck

[mowerman]

Again, thanks for all your post. They’re all very interesting… bob

Also probably why Rob thought it was a single axle the way you explained it six Wheel truck  dual drive  607 straight frame very interesting … hung around in Mac dealerships from 83 to 90. When I ran my own truck that was about it. I went to work for somebody after that but I saw quite a few of those brochures ordinarily hanging on the wall show room or parts department

same company (owners) that have the first sold R model ::R607T 1001 , replaced it in '69 with a R611T . 611 long gone ; the R607 T ole #1  still in CT original owners. the R611T was set up with ENDT 673 and jake brake. ran 7 days a week hauling milk tank .

are you referring to the 315 hp which had the small turbine fan mounted top of engine between intake and engine mounted intercooler ?? believe that was macks idea before the radiator mounted air intercooler came to be, if we are on the same page ,

The taller one is 6’ tall and weighs 182#.

I would be guessing that is what is been spoken of

Coolpower Mack motor was the offical Mack name in Australia for Tip Turbine

Worked well and were a game changer when released to the Australian market, just like the Maxidyne was
