What have you done to your 10 ton this week?

[Dirt71]

Thought I might start a thread like this to see if there are any other 10 ton owner's out there other than the few that I know of who might need some motivation to get to doing some wrenching on there truck's. Pictured are the first M125 and M123 that I owned.

Great idea on the thread. Did owning both of those give you the urge to add a Mack NO to the collection? I love these huge prime mover sorta trucks

Wow, I feel like my 7 ton is big at times but it looks like the old legends would be tick for tack in sheer size if not bigger!

 

[Ajax MD]

Is it true that these trucks top out at around 45-50 mph?

@Dirt71 - I believe this is my new favorite thread!

So, I’m curious, who are the other 10 ton owners?
(I’m not really asking Dirt71 to drop names, but more so inviting others to post!)

I'd suggest that if you or anyone else knows any 10-Ton owners, go ahead and tag them to invite their joining this conversation.

(To tag, just put the little "@" sign in front of their username here in a post and they will get an email about being tagged.)

Carry on.

Damn, those trucks are awesome!

I’d trade at least 3 of my deuces for one of them M123/125’s!

43mph... but I would run my truck's down the by the tach not the speedo...

But how much fun can a person have at 43 miles an hour sitting twice or three times higher than everything else on the road! SOOOOOOoooooo Much Fun

That truck looks so cool. It is a MONSTER. Besides, what guy do you know that doesn't want to claim "Mine Is Bigger Than Yours"?

Maybe a 7 Ton for me next.

An M123A1C and a M172 lowboy, that was my dream setup at one time, I had both, just not at the same time. Alas, no more large MVs for me, maybe a M151, but that will be it.

 

[Dirt71]

10 ton under the moonlight...

 

[fasttruck]

This is how you hauled your tanks and such back in the day.

 

[M35fan]

These 10 ton trucks are awesome! I'd love to see more pictures. What type of engines do they use?

 

[V8srfun]

Please excuse me for living under a rock but I never knew that there was a 10 ton until now. Subscribed

Reference post 18: When first fielded 10 tons used a LeRoi V-8 gasoline engines. Later editions have a 903 cubic inch Cummins V-8 diesel. I have seen examples after being surplused out that had Mack ENDT 675 engines swapped in. They all had a Mack built TRD72X crash box transmission and a double disk Mack clutch which makes them a character building experience to drive.
