thanks for showing this . i worked in a truck garage in the 70s .another garage across the street had a mac b 61 single axle tractor dismanteled . thanks for showing lots of them it made me cry.
A-PLUS and you were a BUSY youngun! I've looked at dog butts all my life from a chauffeurs license in 71 with a steel hooded ex coal hauler from West Virginia to the RD-800 at the quarry with a boulder bed on it. The 52 B-model with the well rig and the curved cab with the 711 and a duplex. The MB 237-5 sped single axle tractor that low boy'ed the D7-F. The Superliner tri-axle with the E-9 and 12 speed and the old DM with the 185 horse Thermodyne that I learned to split the quad box with my arm through the wheel. And the mixers and everything else I could crawl into or stand up in. THANKS! Wonderful rigs and road READY! I miss it but my back and right knee sat NO. Thanks again! You did GOOD! And another INSLEY!
@@langer24106 It was a good old truck. Butterfly steel hooded DM tandem. If it'd had a 12 speed it'd have run with a 290 Cummins. I could stay right on them till my last gear. I needed a split that wasn't there. Operating range from 12 to 21. 237 horse gold dog at 1200 and 235 at 21 with Jake for shifting. 2 stick 6 speed overgear is what the data plate said. Reverse through 5 on one stick, direct and hi on the inside stick. Go 1 through 5 direct and then hi. Last gear was from 35 to 70 m.p.h. They were staying in Rainelle when they got it. Lady at the station they got fuel at made the doggie a pair of britches for cold weather. They were logging.
Those are REAL trucks. Drove Macks in my logging days. Started in a 1978 R then a 1985 Superliner then a RD then a CH. My real love is the B model then the R model. Would love to own one someday. By the way I just subscribed.
