My Grandpa was a trucker from the 1940s until 1984. He apparently learned to drive trucks on a chain-drive Mack like this and he ended his career with a 1970 Mack. Lots of love for these old beauties!
I love those old machines, that "Hit n Miss" was really cool! History definitely needs to be preserved, especially our mechanical and industrial history. 👍
I just learned how to revive those hit and miss engines not too long ago. They're absolutely genius in their simplicity. I feel like we've made the internal combustion engine way too complicated.
With gains in efficiency and emissions must come the complication. It is a conscious series of design choices made for legitimate reasons that have led to todays complexity.
That truck and all the other historical travel related items in there are seriously awesome ya'll are lucky to have that stuff and it's cool to see you really enjoy it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Awesome video Bruce. Makes you really appreciate our country’s past lifetime when it was more simple. I’m 25 years old and all I think about is steam and gas. My family restores John deere 2 cylinders and steam engines. Trying to preserve history for the future so it don’t die. Really gotta appreciate old tractors and machines. They have a history and a personality. They fed a lot of families. Would love for you to make the hike up here to Michigan for a steam and gas show we put on in July. Michigan steam engine and threshers club. Biggest steam show in Michigan. Best regards
This guy bruse w is living his best life he has and does the things that i would love to do!! What a very lucky man having been born into a stable family of both parents together and a family business to take on!! And I reckon he's made the most of it all!! Top geezer.
Thanks for the video of Bruce Neal's, 1922 Mack truck , he's originally from Southern Ohio area he always comes to the Ohio Valley Antique Machinery Show every year, I'm familiar with him and his family, great people and his dad was always involved with the antique shows around Southern Ohio, I've seen the 1922 Mack run before in previous parades , great video, thank you Bruce Wilson and Bruce Neal
Ballantine Beer ran some of those chain drive Macks until they sold to Pabst in 1972. And there was a drayage company working in NYC that was using chain drive AC Macks into the early 1980's
Those grease fittings are pretty rare, they’re called alemite fittings. I’ve only ever seen them on a 1924 Lafayette. I think they were the zerk fitting before the zerk were invented
Lol Bruce!! As a fellow diesel mechanic and so on …… Can you please go to Mac, harbor ,Matco etc And buy you and Ryan some Bright!! Easy to carry Pocket Flashlights I have several that are small fits in any pocket but bright af! 😅 I see you grabbing your phone to turn the light on when you get a nice rechargeable light it will help you tremendously 😅
I love it that the truck bed is made like a horse-drawn wagon. The engine idles so slow you can almost count the RPM. There's no rear window, just a curtain like in a horse-drawn carriage.
In the early 80s I remember moving back home to Texas. I went quail and pheasant hunting in the panhandle of Texas for the first time and you could hear those engines still being used to run the oil pump jacks. You would hear one pop then a few seconds later you would hear another one pop on another well. So all around you, you would here pop pop pop as each pump jack would begin to lose momentum. With the pump jacks the pops were not far between because it took a bit of power to keep those big pump jacks moving.
My lathes use the Clipper belt lace system also. Final drive chain I saw that on a Packard I think it was church bus from early 1900s. I build erector set steam cars, trucks. With Empire, Mamod, and homemade steam engines. I use chain drive and machine the sprockets on my Atlas shaper. Cool video! I would love to know how many teeth on those sprockets. Looks like 12 on little sprocket. I use 12-36 teeth on my stuff.
I used to work at a shop that had a ford model T and the starting process was very similar. I had to start it every morning and drive it out and put it on display, and then drive it back to the shop every night at closing.
When I was a little boy my father showed me a picture of him driving a chain driven truck hauling logs hard rubber tires cast iron rims and my father was a very young boy driving that truck I love this part of History
Add it into the oil run for About 300 hundred miles joy riding around in it. I'd drain out some motor oil to be able to add in about 11/2 quarts of marvel mystery oil.& ATF transmission fluid mixture. Then drain.& Change that motor oil.& Add in some zinc powder additives into one gallon jug of motor oil to put back into that model A Mack truck .
Love it, i hate to think alot of kids dont even wanna deal with the old machines. They do take alot for granted. We all do. But appreciate how it all came about .
Bruce awesome video buddy love that old truck it's nice to see them old engines still running. That red engine are they called hit and miss engines? Appreciate the channel buddy 👍
To the idiots that say America dosnt have a culture, this is it. we collect what our forefathers built. created, designed, and used to build this country, no foreigner can take this away from us.
Jay Leno has the stuff so your not screwed. still have stuff 3-d printed tires are hard rubber same as fork lifts you just have to a mold made. i’d oil her up if it wasn’t nasty go put put with it. definitely do an oil change need to exercise her. big kids -kids show up need to give them a ride. Thank him for cranking her up.
I like seeing you talk about keeping history alive, I can tell you have a passion for doing that, it was in the way you talked about it. Really cool to see those old vehicles, the Mack was very cool, I can imagine having them new running around town, everyone in awe of what they could do..
That Mack truck was awesome love the sound of the old engines they sound wild thanks for the content pal keep up the good work and of course keep up with the click bait titles lol all the way from the UK
They definitely don't make em like they used too , didn't even kno the made mack or Oshkosh back then , cool old truck s & motor s , couldn't hear alot of what u where say n or when Mr Bruce was tell the background on the Mack ,
My Grandpa was a trucker from the 1940s until 1984. He apparently learned to drive trucks on a chain-drive Mack like this and he ended his career with a 1970 Mack. Lots of love for these old beauties!

Sounds better than a new Mack
The more complicated the engine is the dealers can charge more for their trucks and the mechanics can charge more for repairs. 🤪
The level of efficiency in modern engines makes a hit an miss piece of shit look like a fucking coal fired steam engine. GTFO

Great content in this video Bruce; showing the history is so interesting. Not to mention important like you said
Also really cool guy showing all his toys
nice old machine, worked great back in the day. keep the clips coming

Fine looking old truck. London Ky is my home town - I wonder how many people around that might still remember this truck.

The sound of this engine is just magic

I like seeing cool old stuff like that I would spend all day looking at all that just to learn the history of it

I see that your all into that cool old stuff Bruce. Once you see it feels like it pulls you up to it to see how it operates
The truck has an addictive sound, beautifull example.
Reminds me of when you and your brother Aaron were little and we’d bring you two with us to see the old engines. 🥰
Love
Mom 🥰😘💕
This is a very heartwarming comment.
Great video Bruce love that old equipment and trucks and tractors. Thanks for sharing stay safe Bruce.

Master catalog of piston rings .I’ve used this system to get rings that aren’t made anymore .individual rings by dimensions will yield a set
neighbor had a 1917 Mack stake truck with plow rode it in 1961 from snowstorm as a kid WOW

AMAZING MACK I WISH I WAS THERE WITH YOU BROTHER
This has been the best one by far.
Add it into the oil run for About 300 hundred miles joy riding around in it. I'd drain out some motor oil to be able to add in about 11/2 quarts of marvel mystery oil.& ATF transmission fluid mixture. Then drain.& Change that motor oil.& Add in some zinc powder additives into one gallon jug of motor oil to put back into that model A Mack truck .
That's awesome!!! Glad he got it running
This video is awesome. I’m a old school carburetor guy and I get all the race car guys burning my door down wanting a rebuild
Man what a piece of history. That thing is awesome.
Those AC Mack's are so cool rode in one at a antique truck show great video !!!! Keep them coming
Use some marvel mystery oil mixed with ATF transmission fluid it'll free those sticking valves.& Oil rings inside of that engine to.
Who else saw @WatchJRGo dad hand crank that tractor in the field? This reminds me of that video. The knowledge in the old timers!
I was thinking the same thing!
Look at this ^^^^ freaking scammer!
Love it, i hate to think alot of kids dont even wanna deal with the old machines. They do take alot for granted. We all do. But appreciate how it all came about .
I can't fully agree because I'm really into older vehicles and machines
Sounds like my McCormick Deering 15/30. Overhead valves but you had to manually oil them daily.
I like watching the older car’s trucks come back to life they need tell there stories again

1923 Mack from back when drivers were tough as nails, men were MEN and knew what bathroom they are supposed to use.
Cool stuff man 🤙
Que buena conservacion
That’s so cool!
NICE! Are you planning to put it back to work hauling freight??🤣
That Mack truck was awesome love the sound of the old engines they sound wild thanks for the content pal keep up the good work and of course keep up with the click bait titles lol all the way from the UK
That was cool
They definitely don't make em like they used too , didn't even kno the made mack or Oshkosh back then , cool old truck s & motor s , couldn't hear alot of what u where say n or when Mr Bruce was tell the background on the Mack ,
Technically that thing is 99 years old
One of those hit miss engines would look cool sitting in your show room. You could collect old equipment and have blue collar museum
Great video
Thats awesome
I believe this truck belonged to Mr. John Walton who hauled lumber from Waltons Moutain.
My buddies grandpa had a slew of restored hit and miss engines. My favorite what the ice cream maker hit and miss engine.

Next video: I bought a 1923 Mack Semi Truck. I hope it is anyway. Good vidya 👍👍
That was pretty was like going into a mueseum tim
Imagine sled pulling with something like this now that’d be cool
How did they change solid tires. There is almost no flex.
....This is one of your Top 5 videos so far imo....👍...Cool Video...
That 8hp motor produces around 100ft/lbs of torque. A 2022 420cc 13hp Predator gas engines produces 20ft/lbs.
Those 8hp engines would make a good generator and sound better than the 8hp Briggs and Stratton....
is that a mod. t ford magneto tester on the running board ?
I was about to say that last one is newer than a 1902 lol.
Someone should buy and restore an old truck like that 23 mack and actually show how it would be used and work it!
