Worked in bottling plant for Cumberland Farms and they had a bunch of B model Macks back in the late 60's. I was night forman and backed all the trucks up to the docks to load milk,chocolate milk in glass bottles stacked in crates on dollies. Was my first rided in B Model Macks. It was heaven. That is how i learned to back up trailers in a real congested yard. I can still put a trailer in places that seem impossible. The money i made there put me thru college.
Beautiful Truck , made my morning coffee break. Watched my buddy over the course of couple yrs tear down all the way to the frame and rebuild a 61 B, was also blue. Watched him some days use a wire brush on a single bolt for hours. They use it to haul top soil , fire wood and gravel a few times a year because customers loved seeing that truck pull in there yard. What a BEAUTIFUL piece of Americana you have and thanks for sharing it with us. Keep up the gd content kid, and listen to pops about a simple shirt or hat.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed watching. They said this man was the same way and did the same with this b61. I will do my best to keep the content coming and I agree with you on the simple shirt! Thank you for watching
Hello. Just found your channel. I grew up in B model when my dad drove back in the day . Really nice truck guys . Bearing failure is the number one reason for rease and seal to start leaking . If you see any Metallic in the gear oil that would be the bearing breaking down. It don't take long for a new seal start leaking if the bearing is failing. I'd say the bearing is the reason why for so little travel and it leaks. Take care
It was 2018, I was to and from work in Greensboro, NC. Dumps were running 24/7 right up the road to level the ground for a new aircraft maintenance hangar. It reminded me of the B Model Macks and A-Cars in the Die-Hard movie... ...but there were no B Models or A-64 Autocars involved. So, I thought dammit and cried myself to sleep.
Own 1962 b62 triplex Thermodyne 15 speed. Was my. Grandfathers when he was living here at scrap yard. I redone it rebuild motor and trans was good they put it out of service in mid 70s park in garage till I rebuilt it in mid 80 s. Once in a while I hook tub trailer to it run load number 1 to pier. Ride u never forget lol
Good morning from Cape Cod ⚓ even show trucks need a little bit of maintenance once in awhile. You and your old man could be a comedy special Joe 😂✌️🇺🇲
if that were my truck I would be workin it.on the other hand we do need peeps who keep em for future guys to see what the men used to have to wake up to every morning.
Gotta show the "torque" procedure on that sx rear. Not many people work on those knock aparts anymore and have never seen it done. Might shed some light on why some procedures are the way they are now. I like the science shirt idea. 😂 kinda like swindell speed labs logo. Have to add the pa dialect to "sciens"
Same wheel seal as a few years ago? Check that the vent on that rear isn't blocked up. That damn wheel and drum are over 300 pounds BTW lol. I always left the tires on and pulled the wheel drum and tires off all together using a grease board. (Poor man's wheel dolly).
That's a very good point! We will be checking that for sure! It sure was heavy! I really appreciate your comments Joe. Always great ones! I love the poor man's wheel dolley! Thanks for watching!
From. Canada. hitched. a. ride. Late. 1960’s. In. 1. of. these. B- 61. Mack’s. pulling. a. 45. foot. (bull. pen. ). from. Edmonton, Alberta. too. Hay.

Fruehauf. at. that. time. small. cab. ( spring. time. ) truck. I. thought. by. the. time. I. reached. Hay. River, NWT. I. would. have. a. Mack. attack. the. distance. is. 658. miles. 1. way. between. both. place’s. and. could. not. find. a. camp. job. because. I. was. just. about. broke. and. was. told. too early. in. the year. for. any. work. too. start, I. rode. the. Greyhound. bus. back. too. Edmonton, Alberta. in. an. old.

Wow that is super cool! I would have loved to work there! Good for you on college! Thank you for watching!
Thought yinz had to do seal on rt side no need to put wheel on that straight to move 1 Bay but that is how it's done 😅
It is such a beautiful truck, and it reminds me of what trucks were like when I was a kid in New York.

Good morning! That they do! I appreciate that, we are definitely a couple of characters hahaha
The B model has to be one of the most iconic if not the prettiest truck ever built. They were damn tough I know that.
I couldn't agree with you more!!!!
'B' stands for beautiful!
Absolutely!
& its amazing that the 5 gallon 🪣 bucket holds up that 300lb hub& drum assembly
Hahahahaha seriously! But it does hHaha
I love that B model mack truck

That is one badass B 61 😊

Hahaha I like that pa dialect! Hahaha and it probably would be a good idea to do a how to video

If that Mack was originally dark green it might be an old W F Finn truck he hauled asphalt out of Gloucester Twp in the 60s
I wish I was around to see the trucking scene back then
@@Only4Trucks I thought made if you’re dad or grandad might remember if they grew up in this area 🤷♂️
@@carldrexler7883 I'll be asking my dad for sure. He was born in 72 so it's just before his time lol I love hearing the history of the local trucking
@@Only4Trucks my youngest daughter is your dad’s age, mabe your grandad. Boy am I old seams like yesterday 😒
💙👍🏽👍🏽🙋🏽

Too much flex in the race. Beautiful truck just the same
Agreed. Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
I believe there is a proportioning valve on those can’t exactly remember
I would have to check
Is there a slippery road switch on the dash?
Yes there is
Does it have a belt driven pump
I think so
How can I get into this as in buying a truck starting a business finding loads
I would do some research. It's a tough business for sure!
rolfl why are you so cheap! lmfao
Hahahahahah
