- One of two 1963-64 Mack M18x Off-Highway Trucks that we own.
This one has been sitting 10-15 years since it was last ran.
Engine is a 711 Mack
Transmission is a (TRD720) Duplex 5x2
During a weekend gathering with friends and family we took the opportunity to get one of these old trucks running and everyone had a great time.
There will be a second video of driving it around. (I need a little practice with it)…
There are a few things still wrong that need to be fixed but I hope to get it back home and maybe do a little clean up work around the farm for some videos.
Hope everyone enjoys and have a good day
Would love to have one of those.
It is alive! And you successfully emptied the mobile swimming pool. It's amazing how durable old trucks really were.
That ‘ole gear getting resurrected turns my crank, she probably built the roads and highways you run on every day. Old iron history, timeless. Kudos from rainy old Newfoundland.
@@stevecaines8174 absolutely
I'm not surprised it started but I am surprised how little it smoked and didn't rattle after setting all that time. Nice job guys. Macks are the real deal.
What a great family you all have. Really enjoyed the video. Hats off to you and your family for keeping the old Macks around and keeping them working!!
Mack has always been my favorite trucks the character of these 2 trucks is off the charts thanks for the video james God bless you guys 😊
@@MarkGrant-ew3wk thank you
Guys that is one beautiful truck! You need to restore it!
Nice to see someone who does things right. Especially being ready for a runaway, and checking for water in the oil. That engine sounds great!
Im kinda blown away by how clean that truck is! Give it a good service and put it to work 👍
Really enjoy seeing these videos James! I spent many a hour behind the wheel of both those trucks. Brings back some good memories!!
I appreciate you watching! Glad you enjoyed seeing it running.
I hope to play around with it a little.
Operated one of those regularly at a friend of mine's gravel pit. That one had a Big Cam Cummins in it and an automatic. Great dump truck. Tough as they come. It was a tandem.
It did have the dreaded air over hydraulic brakes in it that barley worked, and if you let it sit for a few weeks you had to blead the brakes before use.
The Jake Brake and downshifting was the main way to stop the thing. That cab is sure familiar. Last time I ran it was maybe 8 years ago.
Great to see that one up and running again.
THOSE MACK TRUCKS ARE A BEAST AMERICAN MADE ☝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Oh... It definitely barked and growled at you! Congrats, great job getting it going again and thank you for sharing. Can't wait to see it moving on next episode! Long live the Bull Dog...
So glad to finally see it start.
When my family and friends got together years ago i wish i had videos of that now you can accomplish a lot in a day with all hands on deck another fun video Thankyou 😊😊😊
@@CharlesSmith-ty2ce Glad you enjoyed!
Wish it was Mine....
Same as you, found out over time, mack. Built off highway dumpers. I was 7-10 yrs old back mid sixties. My brother and I were into trucks, I owned 1952 brockway. Cadillac of Mack trucks!
Music to my ears ,great job guys.
Wow thats a truck worth its name
It’s hard to beat an old Bulldog, I learned in a DM800 hauling coal and boy she was a beast. I didn’t agree with stripping mountain tops but hauling Blue Gem at $4 a ton was good money in the 70’s-early 80’s and the scenery was beautiful. I took that truck places you wouldn’t think a dirt bike could go. 🐾✌️🇺🇸
I believe it
I love old iron. It's what was used to build this country!
Old beast wants to live again 👍😎👌

FRIDAY MADE!!!! Let’s go son!!!
I think you are gonna need a drone for your videos in the future! It’s nice to get that perspective in addition to what you’re doing. Keep it up - your channel is a good one!
@@YellaLab thanks I appreciate that a lot.
Yes. I’m glad a friend got some cool shots with his drone. More in the next video when we drive it out the woods. I’ll have to invest in one.
I have never seen this model of Mack truck before and this is the first time I have seen it, the engine of the truck roared like a lion after starting and the sound was exciting.
That ol beast was built to last. Your dad and uncle seemed more excited than anyone to get it running.
@@richardjohnson5883 oh yeah haha they enjoyed it
Sorry, I have not commented her lately been not feeling good and I have not watched much TV but I’m back now. The truck sounded so good my friend. Keep the good good video up be safe on the job and road.
Thanks. Hey glad you are doing better.
Awesome, I want one!
Love the oldies!!!!😂
Great video
Bonjour c est une tres bonne idée je ne connaissais pas ces modèles et les remettre en marche 👍j attend avec impatience tes vidéos toujours intéressantes mes salutations a toi tes amis et famille
Fantastico, teamwork.
Nice old Truck.
Greetings from Germany 👍
That thing sounds smooooooth!
Awesome
I have not worked as in restored a garden tractor in 30 years I have 3 on the block
Hello James family and friends excellent video you got to love that old iron no computer no pollution bull give her a little fuel spin her over and veeroom great job thank you ken
Engine sounds pretty darn good
Its really worth saving
4:22. Be right back. Now I gotta pee. 😂
I have never seen this model of Mack trucks, it is very interesting to me.
Most spent their life in a quarry and were ran until there wasn’t anything left of them.
Others torn down to keep them going until parts ran out.
There were more M15x trucks made and you’ll see them around sometimes M20x and up to M100x which were much bigger and usually had big Detroit engines
The oldhead thinking ahead about incase the engine decides to runaway is what being wise is all about
Awesome video thanks
@@raymondforbes7482 you bet
Sounds pretty decent!
Sounded good.
no creature comforts
Need to put some of that marvel mystery oil in there too
I got to see a Mack M100 in person. Largest off road Mack ever built
what Mack stands for: MACK
mean
Ass
Cat
Killer
Gotta love them ole MACK trucks 😊
Yup. Check that OL pan!
Old cars are reliable their good old engines survive
The gold bulldog is the notice that she has a Mack engine. Trucks with other makes of engines got the chrome bulldog.
Breakin out the drone. Nice
I have 3 of those buddy l macks! Never seen another.
@@FoxBodyDale if they are the M18x there wasn’t but about 30 made so rare indeed
@ not the actual trucks the red buddy L mack toys in beginning of vid
@ oh oh yeah I see. Haha yeah I haven’t seen any other than those myself
Man that bottom hose is kinked
@@jacobbuckley8232 i put the steel coil inside of it to keep it open, I was concerned about it but didn’t have anything else on hand to get it going.
Turns out there was another hose that blew and started to spray coolant everywhere.
Euclid ( England,) scrapers and levelers massive machine . I had woked on These machine 's engine POH and hydraulics . Huge working capacity .
Dang, I guess you should have brought a spare shirt. I mean I've had a radiator pour down on me before just like that, but the fluid didn't look anywhere near that nasty. 👍🏻
Everytime old mack lives, a new plastic filled, computer driven one dies. I can guarantee the trucks we have on the road now will not start right up like that after sitting 20 years in the weeds. Just made my Friday. Looks like the same engine I have in my b model. 673 end p. I can see the split turkey foot intake in the one slip at the end.
@@williamwertman24 it’s a 711 but I don’t think that it’s much difference
@AppalachianRust ok. Yeah same intake as p
Very cool
Those are the real deal bulldogs i grew up on real steeel no power. Steering or a.c just ruff driving hard trucks
I'm a big fan of Mack trucks especialy the B models fire trucks.I would have love to wash and paint your truck for free but i live in Canada.That dumper sounds like it was new.
Hahaha thanks for watching!!
Fantástico👋👋👋👋
Show 👏 👏 👏 🙋♂️
Awsome.
Маладцы ребята .
Excellent Video Guys ! I Absolutely Love to see Old And Forgotten Iron Snort Again ! You can see the tires were Bald it must have been a Job Paid buy the Government ! Run the Equipment into the Ground and Leave it ! What A Waste !
It was used by a bridge crew on highways before my dad and uncle owned them. Probably hauled the shot rock out of cuts to back fill the bridge approaches.
The tires have been on them like that since then.
Thanks for watching
Good one James, keep it coming 👍 What is the tonnage capacity , looks like a 25 ton
They went from M15 to M100 trucks and from what I understand that’s the payload .
So yeah around a 20 ton capacity or so.
Wowzers that's awesome man what kind of engine does it have and from what years did they build these 😊😊😊😊
@@jamesharrington4923 these trucks were only built from 1963-1964 and for this particular model only about 30 were built. It’s all Mack with a 711 Mack engine.
Any of the bigger trucks would have had a Detroit
@AppalachianRust ohhh wow that's awesome, it's hot loads of character, I've seen a couple with the Detroit engine!!!
For some of the more difficult hoses I'll use exhaust pipe elbows and short straight sections of rubber hose.😊
Cool video! We would love to feature this video on our channel, with your permission. We will include your link and mention your name prominently in the video. Please let us know your thoughts!
@@GearTechHD Sure thing, you can feature this video.
Thank you for asking permission and offering to link the video.
More Macks than buddy Sam from @ScrappyIndustries
Какая грузоподемнасть в этом грузовике .
The number of the truck I’ve been told is the capacity, so 18.
They’re m15 m18 m20 and so on up to a m100
Спасибо.
Nice looking Mack’s
Класная техника .
Nasty bath in dirty radiator water/ antifreeze.
@@moblacksmith0530 yes I was trying to avoid that haha
Don't Whine about some cheap jumper cables.
My 8-year-old son could do a better job on putting on a radiator hose
@@Vay-74 haha good on him
Нижний патрубок радиатора передавлен. Криворукий ставил.
Yeah it wasn’t a good fit but it’s what I had. I didn’t see that one leaking before hand
