@4>26 Mansfield S&G.. Hartford & Mansfield CT. Always had a nice fleet of dumps & mixers up into the early 80's when they closed. You can still see their plant off I-91 in Htfd, There's an ACAR tractor sitting in a yard in Portland Ct, under the bridge
Beautiful display! I recognise some of those old beautiful beasts. My dad FPR and myself pulled a few of them from the clutches of the evil junkman and his wicked crushers. Sure would like to visit soon.
I've been here before I love it here my favorite place on the planet my dad used to work alongside with the owners of this wonderful collection I grew up hanging around those shops and the quarries very good times I wish I can go back
Dailydieseldose there is so much more to that place it's not even funny the property is absolutely beautiful also the first shop in the video was the restoration shop there's four other huge Barnes besides that one we didn't even see half of the collection in that video
Dalydieseldose I know another private collector who has about 38 chain driven trucks... but do you know if they open that to the public at all these days I haven't been there in about 10 years it would be really nice to go back the fire truck in the video the oldest one I rode on that when I was a boy scout🤣 but that was even longer ago it would be even cooler if they still had the mini light house on the property🤣 one of the cool parts of the property that was really cool was where they have water running over the main driveway hope they have it set up the same way
He also collected 16” main battery from the USS New Jersey BB-62. I grew up in the same town and used to swim in the quarry in the years before he bought it and reopened it. Houdaille was the operator that closed it in the early 1970’s. His house and collection essentially backed up to the quarry property separated by rr tracks. The town and neighbors were none too pleased when he first bought the residential property and built the sheds. I believe he had the land rezoned to industrial. Luckily most everything is tucked in the rear and not that noticeable. My best friend lived across the street.
Had a few Macks had on of the first RD800s in eastern Ky 400 cummins and a 13 speed. Good truck Mack and Autocar are or were the two best trucks ever made.
The wrecker @ 1:05 is former Port Authority of NY & NJ unit that would have served at the Holland Tunnel or Lincoln Tunnel. Noticeably missing is the light water/PPK firefighting system which has been removed. It would have been mounted behind the cab atop the wrecker body
You should look up Transport World in Invercargill New Zealand they have a very large collection of Trucks, Car's etc. they were collected by the Late Bill Richardson who owned several trucking companies in NZ with hundred plus trucks.
Back in 1971 I was a 10yr old kid walking the hwys and I decided to hitchhike and a MACK truck picked me up and dropped me off a mile later at my town. LoL Those were the days
I believe the greatest workhorses that ever came to Australia were U.S. Army surplus Macks in the 1940's. they were the N .R.10's. and I am very disappointed not to see one in the collection. Also the E. H. I had a drive of one when I was a kid and thought I was in heaven.
Those Wellington's are famous in New England. They did a lot of heavy hauling for years. Some of them hauled the Maine Two Foot engines and cars to Edaville in the 40's. Later they hauled them back to Maine Narrow Gauge RR in the 90's.
How'd that Rossi truck get in there? I know of a couple more antique machines they are storing. I'm not an expert at identification of manufactured equipment sometimes but, they might have another Mack.
That's not his fault !! .Are you saying that someone doesn't deserve what they pay for ? I'm sure if you or i had the means we'd be buying all the good stuff too .At least they're being looked after and not sitting in some field or swamp.
My old man is 84 years old his first truck was a 1963 H model mack with a 15 speed triplexx two sticks.He had 4 F model macks with 10 speed douplexx. Two sticks.Best trucks in the world.
Jeffrey Collier if I could post a picture in the comments to show everybody how many truck my grandfather had ppl would be surprised lol. We lived on almost 15 acres of land by the airport in St. Croix and we had nothing but Mack’s every where some not running and some running. Times like this u just miss the old days man. Nothing but good memories
@@PontiacSpazz sounds great wow i drive a Freight liner Cascada daycab todayand pulled refers but theirs nothing like a bulldog.The last mack i drove was 1985 R model 350 hp with a 9 speed it ran 82 mph.truck of today don't run like that 62 too 68 mph.people are trying too save fuel now.
