I drove one at a company I worked for. We needed parts out of a trailer out back. It also was a yard truck. I never drove a tractor trailer before. We hooked it up and got the trailer up to the loading dock door. Was a trick to back up to dock. The thing ran great and started up right off even for the fact it had not run in a year. Nothing like this will ever be built again. By the way that's a beautiful property.
I drove one like this about 50 yrs ago I hauled sand from t he pit about15 miles to a cement plant 5 days a week for about 6mos then went and got a job driving over the road but that old B model was an experience.
I drove a single axel B 61 tractor in 1973 for a Trailer Leasing Company. Pick up and delivery of Leased Storage and Road Trailers , that old girl could pull anything. It's nice to see one still running.
As a kid , I loved the B61 Mack . The nearest I got to driving a duplex brownie box , 9 speed like this one , was at a junkyard I worked part time in during the late ‘70’s in my high school years . Made one compound shift and put the truck back before too may workers noticed . I would have gotten crucified . It was a Mack model U600 used for hauling the crushed cars from Staten Island , n.y. yard to a Belleville New Jersey yard recycler . I miss those days . That’s where I got some of my car edumacation, and a bunch of salvaged hurst completion plus shifters and other manual trans conversion parts that are now long gone . Too bad though , would have come in handy for some good survivor cars like you come across .
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! Maaaan, I absolutely love this truck! It runs good, breaks and sounds good, healthy and strong. Perfect vehicle to tow a (goose neck) camper trailer. This old vehicle definitely deserves some TLC. I would bet that TwinStick Garage or J.C. Smith projects would love to own this old rig. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Love the old twin sticks. I’ve put many miles on a 5x4. I worked for a structure moving company one summer, and he had a triple stick 6x4x3. Wide open in 1-1-1 it would only move 65 feet per hour. We used it to move brick, rock, and tall structures to keep them from splitting.
I remember those old macks a excavating company in the 70s had a few of them they couldn't hardly pull step grades with low boy trailer with a JohnDeere excavator
I had a 64 B 61 with a 5 n 3 You should try driving it all day hauling sand & rock line hull Back an Forth between the mlne to the cement plant or the road pavement Co.
End673, Endt673, Endt675, Endt675, were all the same bore and stroke and displaced 672 cubic inches. The End 711 displaced 707 cubic inches but it wasn't as good of an engine, and they never made cylinder liners and heads for it that allowed use of a fire ring, so turbocharging them never worked out well
B body Mack = Choice look for a shop truck. Should freshen the bearings up and drop a turbo on it :-) Pull a sky scraper down the road lol New paint with some choice pin stripes... Beotch'n! Wheel can be repaired... get a power steering rig on it. :-) resto-mod shop truck.

That's totally badass, you turned the key and it started and actually drives !
I love B- model Macks!
looks like a sweet truck

I love your 1961 Mack, It is 61 years old. Like me. I hope you can fix it up. And make it grand again.?😎🤓

So, did you buy her? That truck deserves some tender love and care!
It was long time ago I saw a hand break like this.I remeber my dad did not trust it especially when our Mack was parked upp/downhill.
Awesome! I love B-model Macks.
A working progress. Cool old tractor.
Sweet truck ……lots of potential

Ole thermodyne
That truck is worth restoring
Power steering Wow🙋👍💯
That engine is the end 673 thermodyne natural breather

Pero lujo de maquna
The old 673s came with or without a hair dryer
Love these, has anyone done chassis swaps to make em into killer pickup trucks?
Just search up Mack pickup truck on Google, there's tons of them.
It's not junk

I'd put a modified Studebaker pickup bed on that and just drive it around.
Whats the difference between a B61 and a B63?
B63s were a much heavier spec and I believe they all had factory power steering as well
I sure hope it gets painted and made pretty, I'm over the patina thing, get out the Binks #7 and make her right.
It completely ruins the original feel in a lot of cases though. I'd restore it mechanically, but never paint it.
some thing other than a skate board video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have p ✍️ jnim1 7 2023🎂🎉🎊👍👍
Its junk.
A 2022 f150 is junk actually. Old rigs from the 20s to the mid 60s were made right!
170 hp lol
It’s ready to fall apart going down the road lmao
Armstrong steering and 255 ac!
