Look folks,no more face hair!!
This is a yearly event we try and make it to,it was rainy and cool in the morning,but it turned off hot and humid later in the day.
I think I may have gotten a suntan.
I really don't have a problem finding jungle fatigues that fit me,I wear a X small long...
I was hoping it was an A1,but from the sound of the description,it sounds pretty tired,If it requires either all the time,Injection pump is probably worn out,and a rebuild for that is $1800,Burning oil is somewhat normal for a diesel,just depends on the amount.
Add in the clutch being...

A couple pics under the hood would help in identification,but my guess is,being a house moving company,it probably has the rare and desireable Mack...

WM,do tell about these exhaust pipes,pics would be nice!!
You are correct about the drawbar pull Kenny,the 211 with bald tires will pull my M35A2C w/w backwards reguardless of who is driving what truck, it'll have 900 X 20s on it.
I already have it set aside with my TBD stuff for GA
Clint,
They are supposed to be good for 60,000 lbs I guess( max...
Howdy folks,
I just had to try out the M172A1,so what better test other than to load the M211( my trail truck for the GA rally)and see how much room i'll have left for parts I have to haul down.
BTW,by the time I load tools,air compressor,sandcobra's cover and PB's engine,it'll be full...
