The way you shifted that ole girl tells me you have spent some time in her! Nice driving and awesome Mack!

As easy as that old bulldog steers tells me she’s got power steering. She ain’t got Armstrong steering like her F model counterpart.

That was a 1972? They really didn't change those things hardly at all in 20+ years did they, just like the Ford cabovers.

Thank you for the ride

Love twin stick pappy! I’ve watched these videos of him hundreds of times, these Jamaicans think they’re hot stuff cause they can float shift an 18 speed real fast, but pappy could teach them a few things!

That is a great video! My fist tractor was a 1959 B-61 with a triplex. Thank you for a great memory

My old man never used both arm he shifted the Triplex 15 speed with one hand at 84 i believe could still do it. No clutch in Honey mack H model 1963.1967 F model 250 engine 15 speed Triplexx he could drive nuff said.

can someone explain why there is 2 gear levers?

I had a B Model Mack, 5by 4 transmission, I'm damned if I could change gears like this man can.

Beautiful gear changes there my friend.

Red.....Check Three pedals...... Check View thru Windshield....Bulldawgs Butt...Check It's a real fire truck!!!!!!! Beautiful old Dawg......my favorite was a 1965 C-85!!😎

Some old Mack's used to have 5 speeds in reverse coming in hot

Great video he makes it look so easy. I learned on a triplex old school!!!

Wow that’s some really good shifting!!!

THAT'S how you drive twin sticks. Keep truck's, Pappy!

Beautiful , and shows a dying art

Great video. I love driving my twin stick Mack

1st compound Then Lo split Then direct 2nd lo split Then direct 3rd lo split Then direct Then hi split 4th direct Then hi split Then fifth Do no use compound Lo split Or direct while in fifth Last truck I drove was a 4x2 Comp lo 2. OD N 1 3. direct Kindve like the Mack maxitorque But not a compound box... the aux was an OD and compound on the main Making it an 8 speed.

Beautiful truck!! My name is Leonardo Hoss from Brazil. I'm restoring a Mack LJSW model. Where is the location of the chassis number? I need to compare the number with the identification plate. I would appreciate any information. Thanks, Leonardo.

My wife actually learned in a "B" model Mack with a duplex in it. OOOOHH so many years ago. She has mastered Duplex, Triplex, Quad box and all the Roadrangers. She has about 3 million miles in an 18 Wheeler, and Zero accidents. I slept very well behind her for over 14 years.

One stick is for the low gears and the other for the high gears , very very cool ......

This kind of transmission was the reaon for DMV test " don't shift on rail road tracks" reason be was an old fella years back told me , gears would get stuck on RR tracks and some drivers had to jump out quick and hit it with a hammer to unstuck the gears , those were the good oh days 👍

Bought an old Peterbilt with twin sticks to learn how to do this ... want to keep the lost art alive ... plan to teach my daughters as well 😄

A lost art ... frigging truck nowadays don't even have 1 stick

Many drivers try and float the gears in modern trucks, although they have self adjusting clutches and it ruins the clutch, and that's why I've replace many with only 300,000 or so miles on them

No matter how many times I watch this video I'm always in awe of his skill and it never fails to give me a chuckle. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful old Mack-love it that he cares enough to dress his dog warm lol-I love twin sticks even though they can be a pain in city traffic -but if I'm hauling heavy and can't have an 18 my 2nd choice is a 4&4.... I had a very rude introduction to them,my dad bought an old '72 4200 IH conventional at an auction that had a 335 Cummins and a 4&4 in it,calls me up and tells me to go pick up this truck-and there was no shift diagram of any type in that truck.......took me a few to realize what was going on,I was trying to shift the Brownie like a regular trans-figured out immediately that the low hole was a compound low,but it took a few to figure out (A) why there was such a big rpm drop going into 2nd and (B). Why I couldn't catch the next gear to save my life lmfao I shifted it the same way Pappy does -I didn't like disengaging both trannys at the same time though I could do it-without a clutch-the ball on the end of the shifter that moves the slides in the tower on that Brownie was worn out enough that it would slip out from between the slides,locking you out of gear-you had to stop,get under the truck with a 4 lb sledge and pop whichever slide was out back in....so I didn't push the issue by shifting both out of gear simultaneously lol -when the CDL law went into effect I was taking that truck up to my dads summer property in Washington and I went through the port of entry on 97 that morning and got gigged for my Chauffer A I had had since I was old enough to get one-was given 3 days to get the CDL-bastard ran me through the ringer for 3 1/2 hours on my drive test-just to watch me shift it,I think...kept putting me on hilly curvy 40 mph 2 lane-and the main split 3-4 at 38..... So I was constantly going up and down on the main........oh well,keeps you from getting bored lol

super truck I like:-)

I drove a 1954 b 61 9 speed overgear 2 stick trans you dident use low fifth gear great truck very uncomfortable cab top speed 52 mph

People did not appreciate how much skill it took to drive one of these older tractors. Does not have a splitter or high/low range level it look likes. Cool truck!

One of the first truck I learned to drive in! Fantastic shifting and I am a die hard Mack lover!

That is the coolest squad I've ever seen!

Great Video. At first glance i thought the tractor was a WD45 but I'm a Farmall guy. Those AC's were great tractors.

I remember this from when I was a kid.... but I used to know how to shift at 8... in an old white Mack truck... LOL I don't remember how old it really was, I remember something about R series or something like that. It was white in color. The cab was only enough room to have seats, and there was a dash console that had a wood-grain trim to it, which faces the driver. What I DO know, is he has that truck even to this day.

Don't think he'll ever have to replace the rubber pad on that clutch pedal :-) Great vid. Thanks for sharing.

big fun when you got them hung up.

When I 1st started in '78 the company had 2 of these. They sent me out in one and I had no clue at all. Just shifted the main one. They were sold soon after and I never did learn how to use it. You on the other hand are incredible. Hat's off to you Sir.

Very skilled. Today's drivers done know how lucky we are. Great job mate.

Looks like fun.

Nice video. This takes a lot of skill to drive one of these vintage trucks. I can barely double clutch a 1990s bus with a stick shift. Nice truck and good skill.

Beautiful old bulldog! Even though a twin stick is obsolete in today's industry, I'd love a chance to get on to shifting them just to be able to say I could do it '

really raises some eyebrows when you pull in on a construction site and start grabbing gears going in reverse

My triplex..{ I have 2 of them late 70's ) high low and reverse on one stick and 1- 5 on the other 10 forward gears 5 reverse

do you know the cylinder configuration?

lookin out over that hood, I could drive that for a million miles! Nice truck. Also a real diesel, makes smoke and power!

It's trucks like these that separate the men from the boys. Great video and shiftwork!

real truck driving here not like today with one stick.

Nice to see someone on here who actually knows how to shift a twin stick.....most guys I've seen don't use both hands, my dad used to stick his arm through the steering wheel and steer with his elbow as he shifted with both hands, that's how he taught me to do it..... almost a dead art now

so im confused. where is Low 1. lol just kidding, awesome vid

That's me on the Sears cultivator
