When I was a kid my farther drove a B 81 Mack dump truck I loved it What big loads of sand gravel go about 30- 40 mph and any hill 5 - 10 mph. Shift ALL the time. That's 50 years ago. Those where pretty trucks.
Listen to the spring loaded seats lol . The cab in those B models was tiny and the roof was just above your head so sometimes those spring loaded seats would send you smashing your head on the roof when you were bouncing around on a job site. Terrible on the back too but a real beautiful looking truck. Like a Tonka truck when I was a kid. I learned how to drive a truck on a 1967 B-81 10 wheel dump with this quadbox transmission. It was impossible to comprehend and I never thought I'd figure it out until one day it just clicked. When I went to take the road test to get my license, having been driving it for like 6 months, the registry cop that came along for the ride was dumbfounded. He never saw anything like it before. No clutch most of the time, strictly listening to the rpm's to shift her, feathering the peddle to bring the rpm's to the perfect place where the sticks would just glide right in and the 2 sticks were impressive to watch. He had my license written out before I left the yard hahaha. Thanks for the video and nice driving.

Вспоминаю свой Краз 250. Там было сложно трогаться, точнее было сложно включить вторую передачу и всегда приходилось прежде втыкать третью и затем только вторую, это было с места "кто работал тот поймет меня о чем я", но то, что я вижу тут, я понимаю, что даже в наше время при переключении я отдыхал " но это единственное в чем я отдыхал!!!!" В остальном наш автопром и по сей день в жопе мира! Да и к стати Рогозин вместе с ними, который засодил всю нашу космонавтику.

It broke my heart to see it and one day I stopped to see it.

I'ma gunna b honest. Yeah. My first truck was the same beast in a '67. I am now sitting comfortably in the rear of a 2021 T680 in Mid Alberta. It's a chore and a skill to switch them gears and I did it. It's much nicer to pay attention to the idiot drivers around me. Things have changed a lot since '66

This is why every truck now is automatic: machine can make itself go with half'o'range disused. I call those guys "mountain bikers", cause they just keep playing with low-range, when you can pull to cruising speed in 3..

You can scoff at that all you want. If you have the opportunity to drive any two stick [two transmissions], get your ass in that truck. You'll end up addicted to it because YOU actually have "driver input" and what you input makes a difference because its challenging. You'll change your tune; I fuckin promise you'll have fun, AND once you get good at it, you'll skip gears. Then you'll go get in your automatic or auto-shift and be rite disgusted with it.
@@iBackshift These blokes don’t know anything about trucks... those old twin sticks would help these trucks pull big big loads up giant hills and not complain..... 4 positions per gear.... beasts of transmissions multiplying all the power from the Thermodyne Mack Engine. That coupled to a high ratio rear end and some Mack toploader axles and camelback suspension.... Pulling power at it’s finest! Sure it wasn’t fast, but the trucks could pull anything and the B81 was the most powerful and toughest Road Tractor out there!!!
@@iBackshift Years ago a truck driver told me he loved the old Mack Quadruplex and the 5x4 in the other trucks, because you had a gear for every speed.

Wtf kinda shifting is that? I have no idea what is going on.........
I know that's a PTO, but what's the other thing next to ?
From the colors I thought it was tractor and trailer brake locks
Pto & body up/down or what ever hydraulic run
To raise the body up and down
