Love that buy! You stole it!! Give it a little maintenance, break out the steam genie, and polish the aluminum. Slap some Diesel Creek logos on it and you are set. I know it isn't a classic like the Autocar, and like you said, is pretty common, but that is good for a tow rig. Easy to get parts and should be reliable.
When my unit made it to Iraq (2003) we ended up in some fabrication shop/warehouse as an operations base. The big score though was there were gas powered welders all over and a giant Lincoln like the one in the auction. So we used it as a generator and it powered our tent lights, water cooler, laptop, and whatever else we got our hands on. That was one perk of being a mechanic in a field artillery unit. Nobody questions where you got all the amenities, especially when we built a shower and we could clean off after missions.
@@gerry-p9x a new rig set up like that one is well into the 6 figure number ,,good friend of mine just bought a new peterbilt 389 and it was over 250,000
It looks too good for Matt! Should be good for taking stuff to the steam weekend. By heck it is long! Most prime movers (US = tractors) we see here in Australia have a shorter wheelbase.
For a second hand truck, that's in really good condition. For a 25 year old second hand truck, that's in amazing condition. If the parts we can't see have been as well looked after as the parts we can see, that's an absolute steal for the money. Matt, it is eyecatching, because it's so clean for it's age!
Drove a 1999 model of that truck CL 713, E 7 460, 18 speed. The one I drove had 44000 camelback rears. Wasn't fast but it would pull your shop at 70 mph. Loved that ride, long enough to ride smooth, quiet cab, you should be happy with it.
Matt, those dock forklifts were set up for loading trucks, on a concrete dock, in addition there was no less than 400 forklifts at just MY assigned dock, they were pretty well kept and maintained
@@wjamesm1001 I knew mechanically they were sound, I also know how badly we abused them, We had a shop that could work on 6 at a time that ONLY rebuilt forklifts, including engines and hydraulics, that shop once accused us "as being able to bend a cannon ball" what ? "you assholes managed to bend a counterweight! how the hell do you bend a counterweight" For as hard as they got used, I never really remember one that didn't work well, they got taken to the shop, fixed and was back really quickly. they were serviced and PMed constantly, at least they were when they were Roadway Express property, now Yellow, that was different
Tiller - gray speaker in front of the steering wheel is two-way comm between drivers. 1,2,3 is for light/buzzer signal between drivers, usually foot switch operated. Headsets are common today but squawk boxes were common as well. Also should have squawk box between ladder operator and whoever is at ladder tip.
It’s referred to as an “ EMP” And all you lineman know This is a life saver To get to where trucks can’t go. Awesome! And a trailer to boot. Have a Great Day Working . 7:48
Sitting here enjoying another great Diesel Creek video from my toilet in Spring Lake Park Minnesota, you can imagine my amazement when the old SBM Fire ladder truck popped up! I probably even sold a replacement part or 2 for it over the last 17 years working for the largest emergency vehicle up fitter here in MN. This one really hits home, thanks Matt!!
based on the cab information tag E7-460 this is a 6 cilinder multi injection engine with 454 hp and an enormous amount of torque. Together with the three rear axels this can haul anything you may ever want to purchase and transport. The frame even has enough room to put a sleeper on. It likes to live between 1300 and 1800 rpm. i bet if you dull it up and put a sleeper on you can triple your money.
Matt your pretty lucky .I see all the container around.and the shop floor.perfeft wombat home . they call them bulldozer of the bush and then suckers can dig
Looks like a good buy! That price damn cheap! In Australia, similar Mack prime movers/tractors with the dog box sell for between 150,000 and 300,000. Have seen a complete rig with trailers(2 trailer road train) sell for a million, second hand. Australia is insane for cost(of everything). Then, we rely on trucks for the movement of goods across the country. And, hows this one for price? I even saw a 1985 model Mack with a price tag of 145,000.... The year model makes it a vintage truck in Australia!
Congrats on the purchase of the "Dawg" I drove truck for 42 years and probably 30 out of those 42 years was driving Macks my grand father was a diehard Mack man he taught me to drive on a B model looking forward to seeing more videos on this truck thumbs up!!
The fire truck comes from Minnesota. Those communities are suburbs of the Twin Cities. The ASV is also from Minnesota. Was made in Grand Rapids MN. Near my home.
That is a solid fire truck, and it’s a seagrave. Very solid truck, 110 ft aerial. You should buy that truck, and when looking at fire trucks. Look at the hours, not the mileage. Usually those rigs have low miles with lots of hours. It doesn’t have a pump on it though. One of the drawbacks to that particular rig.
I had the exact same sae 400. Actually a slightly older model. When I sold it had over 10k hours. Ran perfect. 4cyl diesel. I gouged with it all the time. No problems. Pipeline guys are scared of gouging because everyone turns the machine all the way up. That’s not necessary at all. But yeah and machine will Gouge.
THANK YOU, I was wondering WTF was up with that stupid sticker... Thought, 'Lincoln don't make weird junk do they?' I'd guess 600A of CAG WOULD sort the men from the bois...😅😅😅 GLORIOUS SHOWER OF SPATTER👍
I drove the same model 99 Mack as dump truck with a 4 axle pup for about 10 years. It sure was a trip down memory lane looking at the interior and the drive looking at the bulldog's butt on the hood. Switched to a Mack Granite cab for the last four years before I retired, but that truck was still going strong.
The very best purchase I've seen anyone make on youtube. You are going places young man. In the most harmless and satisfying way. I wish you all the best.
It get’s no better than to wake to a video of yours Matt and then to go with you to an auction 👍👍. Looks like a pretty nice truck you bought and still amazed how cheap it went. She’s a beauty. I retired out of Honeywell previously Garrett Airesearch part of Signal Companies who at a point owned Mack so I’m pretty familiar. We ( Garret Airesearch) actually dropped a Gas turbine engine in 2 trucks and they tested great but proved not feasible for the open market. Was very cool and proved the ruggedness of the Mack chassis. Good on ya - enjoy your new purchase and thanks again for taking us along on your adventures. It’s fun educational and enjoyable. Stay well and keep the vids coming👍👍
I am sincerly happy for you matt i come from cape breton nova scotia and macks here are very old frame jacking and such ....i moved houses my whole life with my grandfather and with some tlc that truck will work for many years to come shes a keeper good for you man!!!!
Fire truck is from SBM, Spring lake park, Blaine, Mounds View fire department located in the Twins Cities, Minnesota. Up in my neck of the woods. Great Video as always!
Sweet purchase Matt Glad it has no obvious hidden issues Great price. Can't wait to see it all cleaned up. As you well know all the fancy looks don't make them work any harder.
30:21 Spring Lake Park, Blaine, and Moundsview are northern twin cities MN, I saw that truck a few times in person in parades and department open houses
Hey Matt and Sam, I really enjoyed the Ritchie Bros. Auction pre-tour . The Mack Heavy Hauler you purchased was a great bargain !!! and is just the ticket you need to move your heavy equipment . Until the Auto Car Constructor is ready for the road. With some minor service and maintenance ,you've purchased a great truck for the money you invested.
For anyone considering participating in auctions, this video is a must-watch. Always be prepared for the unexpected and have a backup plan. Thanks for the valuable insights! 💪
The other thing is always have a hard set top price. I constantly see people getting pulled into auctions and buying stuff for more than retail value because they get caught up in the bidding.
I own an 1845C and I will attest to the legend. I've owned it for 15 years now and only changed fluids... runs like a dream. It's old school but I can work on it and it's ultra reliable. Might be the best machine ever made for it's class/yr.
Must be a Common Defect with the Female Variants, I just went through this last Month, She actually Asked Me how Mant Super Duty’s Does One Old Man Need?!?? I Saw RED😂
Every time I see a Mack truck, I remember part of a line from either a song or a movie. He was talking about stepping up from a "Single stack Mack with a window in the back" to a "Double stack Mack with a shack on the back".
One of the best free things that someone can do to support a TH-camr in the TH-cam algorithm click-through rate (CTR) is by clicking and playing the video, all the way through, the very first time you see any of their video thumbnails. Don't save it for later, play it through right away, and if you don't have time to actually watch it right then and there, save it to the watch it later playlist, and then go back and watch it again.
You on the payroll, it's up to them to keep it interesting, I'm not going to sit and watch some b.s. just to help some random TH-camr. I think we all have a pretty good idea of how the system works.
Fire Truck is from Minnesota. Spring Lake Park, Blaine and Mounds View must share fire equipment. I pump inflammable waste traps for them. I didn't realize Blaine was included in that consortium. I thought it was Fridley instead of Blaine, but yeah. Those cities are northern suburbs of Minneapolis. My shop is in Fridley MN, super close to Spring Lake Park border.
The Mack is a perfect addition for what you do. The Autocar will be sweet too but if it's a longer trip the amenities of the Mack will be nice to have.
I think you got a good deal and I really hope you video going through the truck from A-Z. I’m a total maintenance package may be an upgrader too. Another reviewer said that you should take the steam genie to it out. Agree to that also
Tha Mack looks like an awesome addition to the fleet! I love the auction videos, I remember going all over the east coast with my dad in the sixties and seventies buying equipment at auctions and looking at the monthly news paper “Rock and Dirt” with equipment for sale.
Sunday evening greetings from Tokyo everyone, loving these Richie’s Brothers auction videos. Congratulations Matt on picking up that “sweet “ Mack (with Scrappy’s recommendation). Looking forward to the complete servicing video. Cheers!
Matt thats funny because we called our Komatsu "Barney" too. The dealer said Japan likes happy colors for their equipment so the operator feels joy....
There is a starter switch in the tiller cab of the Fire Truck. It takes two people to start, for safety. There is an override switch for the service mechanic.
Those old case skid steers like the 1845 look to be popular here also. There's not a tremendous amount of equipment avaliable but people love their 1845s
I liked the Kenworths i used to make parts for them. But can you put a lowboy trailer on the mack for what you do that would come in really handy. Buy big machines go pick them up move them fix them up sell and deliver them adding more income off a sale keeping your cost lower. Delivers 500 miles max or just 250 miles both ways. Xxx dollars a mile plus permits.
All that Mack needs is a Dirt Perfect double stack, square tube exhaust system and you will be styling. Bet you can get him to run up and look it over with just one mention of it. Too much fun.
Ritchie Brothers lookout!!!! Matt's Auction house is up and coming!! LOL The Mack is definitely a good buy for what you do with a truck. It's got a lot over the Autocar, such as more comfort, air conditioning, and parts availablity. Plus a good scrubbing and some polish, she'd be one fine looking rig.
@@rustediron4062 Moreover, lots of eastern white pine forests got totally nuked during the 18th and 19th centuries because they made such good mainmasts--where I live in Ottawa, the white pine forests used to dominate--huge old growth dinosaur forests like Cathedral Grove in BC, mostly made of eastern white pine. Brilliant trees that grow tall and strong, stabilize the soil AND grow well here, as this is their native environment. Virtually no old growth white pine in Eastern Ontario left, which is a pity. Don't know about the northeast US, but I imagine it's much the same.
@@HANKTHEDANKEST Sort of tangential, but your mentioning cathedral Grove brought to mind "Muir and the master builder" by dick gaughan. Good song. I don't think Muir himself had anything to do with cathedral Grove but it's the sort of thing he would've been involved with.

I drove a Mack trucks for an asphalt company for 6 years. You can't kill those things they are a work tuck. I pulled the lowboy for them and never had any problems out of the Mack. I think you got a great deal on it.
Can’t go wrong with a Old Dog. Just gotta fix one thing. It’s has to be a double stack Mack with a window in the back and a good thing is your in it cheap
Adjust clutch brake if it has . Service rears oil . Check for rust jacking between double frame rails . Road salt ruined my ch613 . Mack those years awesome.
the ASV crawler with matching trailer is super cute )) Those EA7 Mack engines were pretty darn good, once they got a few years into them. Early on they had some cam issues. That cleared up with updates and they will pull a B-double quite well, the Bosch unit pump fuel injection are very good. But if you ever take a unit pump out, you MUST replace the cap head bolts with proper high grade cap head bolts or they will snap off while running. Do not reuse them, or plan to replace them the next day. Brilliant fuel economy, I was getting 1.75 km/liter pulling 64 tons.
Great purchase Matt. You stole that truck. Will do the same job as those KW's for a whole lot less. Although those KW's were beautiful trucks.I hope you still build the Autocar.
Is that the one which did the accordion can opener thing on the lid? I loved the idiot in the nice camper which scraped off BOTH of his A/C units on that bridge.
29:44 I used to love seeing those rear steer fire trucks driving around in my younger days. There were 2 or 3 i believe in Buffalo, and i lived a few blocks away from one of the ladder truck stations(L12) so i used to see it often. That station later got one of the shorter non-rear-steer ladder trucks so they weren't as interesting. They closed that station and the guy who owns it now has a construction company so he can back his trucks & trailers right into his 'house'. Such a cool building i always wanted to own it myself for that same reason, but not in my budget unfortunately.
They don't key equipment like cars, so a couple of brand keys will let you run a lot of equipment. As most places don't change the key when they buy them.
@@BlueDually4x4 Aliexpress and Temu sell keyrings of construction equipment keys. I wonder if they actually work and hold up or if they will break off and ruin the ignition switch. You can get a keyring with Cat, Deere, Bobcat Komatsu and other brand keys on it for $12.
@@BlueDually4x4I mean why would you would you want all of your drivers being able to drive all of your equipment? Seems like a hassle to rekey something that can't go faster than about 20 miles an hour. It's not like somebody's going to be running from the cops in killdozer.
Spring Lake Park, Blaine and Mounds View are third-ring suburbs of Minneapolis. Chances are good I’ve seen that ladder truck in action. I lived in that area for over 10 years… so yeah. That’s SO COOL. Now I have a degree of Kevin Bacon Firetruck with Matt!! 😂
I love Richie Brothers auctions. I have a $375,000 credit limit with them through their finance company. But I don't have any auctions near me in Maine. So I would have to ship it from PA, or Florida. Once a year they have an auction in Boston. But it's still a 3 1/2 hour drive. It would cost me several thousand dollars for some of the equipment that I need.
one thats closer to you richie brothers hold a auction in ontario canada and even closer in nova scotia canada too and your dollar is worth $1.30 up here think about that on big dollar stuff something to think about
Awesome purchase! Glad Scrappy talked you into it. Thanks for taking us along
From the begining days when you worked at home out of your garage to where you are now. Look how far you have come. Awesome.

That fire truck is from Minnesota! Spring Lake Park, Mounds view, and Blaine are NW of the twin cities!
Love that buy! You stole it!!
Give it a little maintenance, break out the steam genie, and polish the aluminum. Slap some Diesel Creek logos on it and you are set. I know it isn't a classic like the Autocar, and like you said, is pretty common, but that is good for a tow rig. Easy to get parts and should be reliable.
Yeah great price and I love those trucks. If I was set up I'd pay that and not blink at all
It's a great buy Matt. I Only wished that we had sales like that in Australia.
I would love to see him put an Autocar body on the mack truck so he has the best of both worlds the cool antique body with the modern suspension
That welder you looked at is a DC welder for gouging you need AC.
Don't forget to sweep the garden out of the cab, I don't know how some people can drive with a pigpen inside the cab!
When my unit made it to Iraq (2003) we ended up in some fabrication shop/warehouse as an operations base. The big score though was there were gas powered welders all over and a giant Lincoln like the one in the auction. So we used it as a generator and it powered our tent lights, water cooler, laptop, and whatever else we got our hands on. That was one perk of being a mechanic in a field artillery unit. Nobody questions where you got all the amenities, especially when we built a shower and we could clean off after missions.

Tha Mack looks like an awesome addition to the fleet! I love the auction videos, I remember going all over the east coast with my dad in the sixties and seventies buying equipment at auctions and looking at the monthly news paper “Rock and Dirt” with equipment for sale.
Sunday evening greetings from Tokyo everyone, loving these Richie’s Brothers auction videos. Congratulations Matt on picking up that “sweet “ Mack (with Scrappy’s recommendation). Looking forward to the complete servicing video. Cheers!
The videos look great in Taipei too!
Matt thats funny because we called our Komatsu "Barney" too. The dealer said Japan likes happy colors for their equipment so the operator feels joy....
Purple is a " Calming" color they say...
There is a starter switch in the tiller cab of the Fire Truck. It takes two people to start, for safety. There is an override switch for the service mechanic.
Those old case skid steers like the 1845 look to be popular here also. There's not a tremendous amount of equipment avaliable but people love their 1845s
I liked the Kenworths i used to make parts for them.
But can you put a lowboy trailer on the mack for what you do that would come in really handy.
Buy big machines go pick them up move them fix them up sell and deliver them adding more income off a sale keeping your cost lower.
Delivers 500 miles max or just 250 miles both ways. Xxx dollars a mile plus permits.
I got the feeling you can be proud of the Mack! Looks like a good buy! Congratulations from Thailand.
YOU KILLED ME WITH THE sEINFELD REFERENCE WHILE ON THE FIRETRUCK.wasn't expecting that at all.
Auction videos are always fun to watch and see how close you get to the hammer price. Price is Right for gearheads!
Holy cow you are right! I must be a gearhead (confession time: I'm a subscriber to diesel creek, so maybe that was a no-brainer) #gearheadpriceisright
That fire truck is from the north metro of the Twin Cities here in the state of Minnesota! My hometown!
All that Mack needs is a Dirt Perfect double stack, square tube exhaust system and you will be styling. Bet you can get him to run up and look it over with just one mention of it. Too much fun.
Ritchie Brothers lookout!!!! Matt's Auction house is up and coming!! LOL The Mack is definitely a good buy for what you do with a truck. It's got a lot over the Autocar, such as more comfort, air conditioning, and parts availablity. Plus a good scrubbing and some polish, she'd be one fine looking rig.
Keep your trees. Trees are good. You don't need a Walmart parking lot to have a functional shop.
Plant some douglas firs & fruit trees !
@@samjubilee6593 Dah! Douglas firs aren't native over there. How about some eastern white pine.
@@rustediron4062 Moreover, lots of eastern white pine forests got totally nuked during the 18th and 19th centuries because they made such good mainmasts--where I live in Ottawa, the white pine forests used to dominate--huge old growth dinosaur forests like Cathedral Grove in BC, mostly made of eastern white pine. Brilliant trees that grow tall and strong, stabilize the soil AND grow well here, as this is their native environment. Virtually no old growth white pine in Eastern Ontario left, which is a pity. Don't know about the northeast US, but I imagine it's much the same.
@@HANKTHEDANKEST Sort of tangential, but your mentioning cathedral Grove brought to mind "Muir and the master builder" by dick gaughan. Good song. I don't think Muir himself had anything to do with cathedral Grove but it's the sort of thing he would've been involved with.
Totally agree. Also he wants to build a house and live there. Which I think is much more enjoyable with some forest around you
Finally Matt can haul his own scrap. Don't need to ask for his buddies to make time for him
It’s referred to as an “ EMP”
And all you lineman know
This is a life saver
To get to where trucks can’t go.
Awesome!
And a trailer to boot.
Have a Great Day
Working . 7:48
And better than a Tucker 9:41
I drove a Mack trucks for an asphalt company for 6 years. You can't kill those things they are a work tuck. I pulled the lowboy for them and never had any problems out of the Mack. I think you got a great deal on it.
I like the name Darla... for the Mack truck. Congratulations. That is one heavy piece of equipment.
Can’t go wrong with a Old Dog. Just gotta fix one thing. It’s has to be a double stack Mack with a window in the back and a good thing is your in it cheap
Adjust clutch brake if it has . Service rears oil .
Check for rust jacking between double frame rails .
Road salt ruined my ch613 .
Mack those years awesome.
Thanks for the tips!
Drove the tiller for awhile fifty years plus ago . A real kick!
the ASV crawler with matching trailer is super cute )) Those EA7 Mack engines were pretty darn good, once they got a few years into them. Early on they had some cam issues. That cleared up with updates and they will pull a B-double quite well, the Bosch unit pump fuel injection are very good. But if you ever take a unit pump out, you MUST replace the cap head bolts with proper high grade cap head bolts or they will snap off while running. Do not reuse them, or plan to replace them the next day. Brilliant fuel economy, I was getting 1.75 km/liter pulling 64 tons.
Great purchase Matt. You stole that truck. Will do the same job as those KW's for a whole lot less. Although those KW's were beautiful trucks.I hope you still build the Autocar.
I will still absolutely be working on the Autocar!
Whenever I see a Penske truck all I can think of is the 11'8" + 8" bridge channel on TH-cam.
Oops! Careful! Your Penske is gonna get stuck!
😂😂😂😂
Is that the one which did the accordion can opener thing on the lid? I loved the idiot in the nice camper which scraped off BOTH of his A/C units on that bridge.
there's nothing like a good 11'8"+8" Penske Peel video to start your day
The bridge needs to eat
The Komatsu....like visiting an old friend😊
That Mack may not be pretty but you have a really cool hood ornament now!!😊
29:44 I used to love seeing those rear steer fire trucks driving around in my younger days. There were 2 or 3 i believe in Buffalo, and i lived a few blocks away from one of the ladder truck stations(L12) so i used to see it often. That station later got one of the shorter non-rear-steer ladder trucks so they weren't as interesting. They closed that station and the guy who owns it now has a construction company so he can back his trucks & trailers right into his 'house'. Such a cool building i always wanted to own it myself for that same reason, but not in my budget unfortunately.
Spring Lake Park, Blaine, Mounds View - That's Minnesota. I'm watching from Blaine Minnesota.
That is a nice truck! A good wash and some chrome polish, this babe will shine!
New seat cover too.
Spring Lake Park and Mounds View are in Minnesota. They're western suburbs of the twin cities.
@noskatehate
Not Western suburbs as they are East of the Mississippi river in Ramsey county.
@@ducewags oh shit you're totally right! I was thinking of Mound and Spring Lake over by Minnetonka!
I like how Matt has the keys for all of the equipment 😂
They don't key equipment like cars, so a couple of brand keys will let you run a lot of equipment. As most places don't change the key when they buy them.
@@BlueDually4x4 Aliexpress and Temu sell keyrings of construction equipment keys.
I wonder if they actually work and hold up or if they will break off and ruin the ignition switch.
You can get a keyring with Cat, Deere, Bobcat Komatsu and other brand keys on it for $12.
@@BlueDually4x4I mean why would you would you want all of your drivers being able to drive all of your equipment? Seems like a hassle to rekey something that can't go faster than about 20 miles an hour. It's not like somebody's going to be running from the cops in killdozer.
Amazon y'all
Hey 😁 MATT you got yourself a great truck ! I had one like that back in 95 that I drove all over the south east. Thanks
The fire truck is from Minnesota. All of those cities are very close to each other. I grew up in shoreview. Borders moundsview.
I think that the Mack was a really good deal Matt. I'm glad that your finally taking a look at the side by side!
Love seeing these auction videos. What a DEAL! Nicely done Matt!
The Mack is AMAZING. That's all there's to it. Amazing.
I've driven plenty of those Macks over the years, an awesome rig that just keeps on giving.
Spring Lake Park, Blaine and Mounds View are third-ring suburbs of Minneapolis. Chances are good I’ve seen that ladder truck in action.
I lived in that area for over 10 years… so yeah. That’s SO COOL. Now I have a degree of Kevin Bacon Firetruck with Matt!! 😂
I loved that Scout trac vehicle!!
Full grown Big Dog. That's a forever truck. Congrats Son.
Awesome truck 🚚
I get my source of Iron for breakfast from a Diesel Creek video😁 Have a great Sunday Matt👍
I love Richie Brothers auctions. I have a $375,000 credit limit with them through their finance company. But I don't have any auctions near me in Maine. So I would have to ship it from PA, or Florida. Once a year they have an auction in Boston. But it's still a 3 1/2 hour drive. It would cost me several thousand dollars for some of the equipment that I need.
one thats closer to you richie brothers hold a auction in ontario canada and even closer in nova scotia canada too and your dollar is worth $1.30 up here think about that on big dollar stuff something to think about
That 110' ladder truck is from Minnesota, all those town are just south of me. Pretty cool it made it's way out there for auction!
One man's Junk is another man's Treasure.😊YOURS❤
That row of Penske trucks single handedly just proved flat earthers wrong.😂
Nah. It’s just a hill.
@davidelliott5843 If the earth is flat why are there hills? It isn't flat then.
Why hasn't anyone found the edge or fallen off ???
Just asking for a friend. ! 🤣🤣
They have all the "answers"
