If you bought a Mack back in the 1960,s? It wouldn't surprise me if it's still on the road and working and the owner is long gone! That's what happened with my Grandfather he bought a old LJ Mack ran back and forth from Pa. To FLA. Every week the Truck is still running on a job site at a black top batch plant they took the sleeper off it put a dump body on it, and he passed away dead since 2002 at 90 years old!

First truck I ever drove was same year Mack concrete mixer, same set up. I got about a five minute lesson, drove around the yard twice and away I went! Won't say it was perfect right out of the gate, but I had it figured after couple hours, never saw another 5/4 set up again after that, this would have been late 90s. Another concrete job later saw me in a Detroit 6v75 with a 13 speed Eaton Fuller with the 3 range splitting, that thing was a blast to drive. Slam your hand in the door and drive angry all day

Back in the 70s I drove a 69 Flintstone (steel front) maxidyne 237hp with a 6 speed overdrive and fitted with a 4 speed airshift Spicer auxiliary box. Great sound and a good old hauler. Probably don't need to use the dynatard on upshifts, but it's fun to play with it😁.

Never drove an R, but rode in one my stepfather dove summer of '75. In '83, I drove an F for National Freight. 237 engine, I believe. And a 5 speed. 740,000+ on it when I got in it. They were a totally outlaw company back then. I took styrofoam McD boxes from NJ to MA. Then brought rolls of paper back. Most loads of paper were at least 50, 000 lbs. One was over 57,000. No scales up there back then. Had to sleep in the driver's seat every other night.

Nice old Mack with twin sticks I wonder what does that blue knob do you got your Yellow parking brake Red trailer Air supply Then the blue what that do?
@tangydiesel1886
Жыл бұрын
The blue knob could be two things. It could be an "emergency" air supply. If you run your tank down far enough that your brakes set, you can hit the blue knob to get more air. Sometimes seem on fuel haulers and school busses. The other thing it could be is the tractor parking brake. On some trucks, the yellow actually set both the truck and trailer, similar to pulling both the yellow and red on a normal rig. The blue would do what normally pulling the yellow only would do. I don't know why they did it that way, and fully understand why it fell out of favor.

The blue knob sets the tractor brakes only. The red knob is trailer air supply. The yellow knob is system park, it sets the tractor and trailer brakes.
@tangydiesel1886

I think I got more of the story on three knobs. Back in the day, trailers didn't always have spring brakes. So, one of the knobs could apply constant air pressure to the trailer service line if you wanted the trailer brakes to help hold when parked. Now days, trailers pretty much all have spring brakes, so simply pulling the red trailer air supply knob will set trailer brakes.

I wonder if the people that complain about the jake being on while upshifting have ever actually driven an R model with a 6 speed, in hilly areas it’s a must you will not have enough wheel speed to make the shift from low to direct, without the rapid decel from the jake brake being on, again… in hilly areas. A flat road sure you’ll be fine, unloaded… yeah you’ll be fine. load it up and start on a steep grade, and you’ll be starting from low all over again without it
