Incredible truck. From what I could tell, I believe it's oringnal. The B model is the best looking of all trucks. The rounded roof and fenders. It's a look that never gets old.
This reminds me of my grandfather's B61 Mack. I remember riding in it when I was a kid and watching him shift with the twin sticks. Awesome video, great shifting!
Beautiful sounding truck, and that guy is good at shifting that truck. Enjoy watching him. Driving a truck like that back in the day must of left the driver exhausted at quitting time.
Wow, what a small World. This truck is almost identical to the Truck that I first trained on to get my CDL. I learned on a 1954 B Model Mack Turbo Diesel, with a 5 & 4 Twin Stick. They were bad ass back in the day. The only thing I hated about them is the steering wheel being to close to the driver's door vent window, and catching my pinky finger on that window latch when turning the wheel. Other than that, I loved, and miss that old girl. I see yours is from New York State too. That makes it even more interesting, because I am originally from Upstate NY.
David Bowser I'd shift ocasionally without the clutch just because I'm lazy and go by engine sound. I would think using the clutch would be the preferred way to go.
Man oh man does that Turbo spool up easy or what!? Gosh that sounds sweet. I sure miss the sound of these old Mack's running up and down the highways and byways of America. I don't know what the rpm range was for these engines, but it sounds like it was a very narrow power band. A couple hundred rpm and it was time for another gear change. So cool! Thank you for posting this video duncanfbrown!!
These old B-61's had a horsepower rating around 180 horsepower typically with about 600 pounds of torque. They had to be kept pretty wound up to deliver power Like most diesels the power band is narrow about 500 RPM plus or minus. Later models made about 237 horsepower with 900 pounds of torque.
Barry, I'm a Gal..., and I've gotten used to the idea of twin-shift now, so I'd definitely keep the truck. 👍🏽😉 Also, I have a 49' International truck I get just after the first of the year, and that's a twin-shift 10 speed w/overdrive👍🏽😈
Gorgeous truck Allen. It's been 3 years since this video. Have you learned the art of clutchless driving yet? Also the filming is top notch. Would love to see more.
What set up and what's the top speed? I'm looking for a restoration project to haul my hot rods and antique tractors to shows with and I love the look of these old Mack's. But I also know some of these old trucks could get out ran by a stock m35 if you know what I mean.
Is the gearbox synchronized or the driver knows when the best time to shift is or both? In these trucks There is usually some double clutching involved. Btw that was nice.
Get real there were no synchros and the clutch was for starting from a complete stop, after that you float the gears ( RPM match if you like) nothing more satisfying then floating the gears so smoothly that a passenger can't even feel a shift
I thinking about getting a vintage diesel project that I plan on driving sometimes maybe 3k miles a year including occasional freeway speeds(65mph +/-).What is the top cruising speed of something like this?Is there a specific engine/gear box combo I should be looking for or to avoid?
BRADY SCHROEDER Build sheet says it came with an END673P, which is a non-turbo Thermodyne. It's been replaced at some point with an END673T, which was a regular Thermodyne with a turbo (which you can definitely hear in the video!) The hood script says "Thermodyne."
IDK, I'd think by now an after-market company like Allison Trans. Might have made a single-shift by-now so shifting wouldn't be a safety risk every 8 seconds.
Back when trucks were meant to be driven by truck drivers, today trucks are made so anyone can drive them or should I say hang on to the steering wheel, the art of operating a truck is dying
John Harrington for when you will need them these trucks were beaten, overloaded and put through a hell that these new trucks would turn these new trucks to dust! He’s currently empty so he doesn’t need to hit every gear!

Beautiful rig! As long as we were going by.... it would have been nice to swing into the Lighthouse for a beer!!
Learned to drive in a B61 with a quadra plex trans. The good ole days, drivers now would pull their hair out!!!
Retired now, but miss it!
This reminds me of my grandfather's B61 Mack. I remember riding in it when I was a kid and watching him shift with the twin sticks. Awesome video, great shifting!
IT IS AMAZING TO SEE, DRIVING A MACK WITH A SPICER TRANSMISSION, I NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO LEARN IT.😢
One thing about a MACK, it wore out 4 men already, and will wear out 4 more, but still be running

I love the B series Macks; I drove them back in the 70's; B61 10 speed; B73 Triplex. Cummins. SJ. Hamilton.
THATS how ya shift a truck cut my teeth on a 55 cornbinder with 2 sticks
i love those old twin stick macks those are fun to operate you need skill and knowledge to do good with one of those
Love that sound! When the dog says awhhha it’s time to shift up!
Love the sound of that motor.
What a majestic sounding machine.
That's a cool truck! Keep it running!
Wow that Puppy sounds good!!
What a sound , well done
sounds nice, and that turbo, love it!

lol
David Bowser Sorry, did I say something funny? I'm not a pro at this. ;)
its cool lol id like to drive some day although im 20, but ill get my CDL sometime
Nice sound nice truck
Beautiful!! They don't sound like that anymore. That's a real Mack.

The Maxidyne had a very wide powerband. Peak torque was around 1200 and most were built with TRL 107 five speed or TRXL 107 six speed transmissions

Listen to that Fierce sound of an Old Glory that will never disappear
Mack Attack!👍😎
Did you ever do any restoration to it since this video?
Beautiful truck, thanks for posting.
Seems he's single clutching the range stick. How is he doing that?
Love that outside camera shot.
MACK SOUNDS GOOD 👍👍
JAN 1ST 2020 WATCHING VIEDO
EXCELLENT DRIVING SKILLS
WELL DONE
You don't use the clutch when shifting only to stop and start,your knee joint would be wore out at the end of the day
Check it out he's double clutching.
Gorgeous truck Allen. It's been 3 years since this video. Have you learned the art of clutchless driving yet? Also the filming is top notch. Would love to see more.
It's sounds good I love the truck
What set up and what's the top speed?

....crazy shifting ;))) great video..... thumbs up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very interesting, I almost feel like I am riding in one.
Thank you very much!
Is that your Mack or you just took a picture of it 👍👍👍👍👍
Dear-Gawd!
My favorite truck is a twin-shift Mack B-61?!
Is there a way around having a twin shift on one of these, like maybe a single shift 9spd???
Aleiria13 yeah.. take the twin stick out and replace it.. But why would you want to do that?
Why would you take the most unique and advantageous features of the B61 and ruin it?
Is the gearbox synchronized or the driver knows when the best time to shift is or both? In these trucks There is usually some double clutching involved. Btw that was nice.
+Marios Pantouvanos There's no way this old girl would have a syncro. It'd be a crash box and he'd most likely float em'
Get real there were no synchros and the clutch was for starting from a complete stop, after that you float the gears ( RPM match if you like) nothing more satisfying then floating the gears so smoothly that a passenger can't even feel a shift
He's using the the clutch to take the weight off it to pull it out of gear
I thinking about getting a vintage diesel project that I plan on driving sometimes maybe 3k miles a year including occasional freeway speeds(65mph +/-).What is the top cruising speed of something like this?Is there a specific engine/gear box combo I should be looking for or to avoid?
deegan727 a 673 turbo thermodyne with a duplex ( twin stick 10 speed) would be the best combo
Ol’ Mudflap Thanks for the info.
What a neat,old truck.Takes some talent to drive that thing.Not just select "D" and stomp on the gas.
( throttle) not gas LoL
What a Beauty...
Great dog!!!I wonder if is a 673 or a711 engine?
B61s have a 673
@@DMTruckSpotting sometimes they have a 711.
I sure do like your truck. What year is that?
1964
duncanfbrown If I could ask what state are you in?
Good demonstration. Thanks for sharing.

Nice shifting, sounds sweet, like the go pro on the guide pole. Do you still own this truck?
He still owns it!
Tremenda unidad clásica me encanta eso tipos de camiones y la trasmicion 5y4
That a 300 Maxidyne in there or 250?

you don't have a clue My man, you don't have a clue...
What editing program are you using? the picture in picture (PIP) looks really cool!
oxmachines I used Apple Final Cut Pro, but any of the "real" video editing programs could do that (After Effects, etc.)
Is this for sale
is NOW !
Sounds like an old Thermo-Dyne

nice job shifting a real truck
wow nice or what
Suppose why Mack Motor Company spent all that extra money putting those extra gears in that transmisson that you don't use....?
John Harrington for when you will need them these trucks were beaten, overloaded and put through a hell that these new trucks would turn these new trucks to dust! He’s currently empty so he doesn’t need to hit every gear!
To keep Idiots like you off the road
