I love those ol' Dawgs. The R model was cool enough to be the Rubber Duck and they haven't lost an ounce of that cool. They were/are tough, more efficient than some folks want us to realize and they had character. The very first big truck I ever drove was a Mack Superliner. That rig had style...I'd love to have it today. They truly were a "40 acre truck", but that's okay, it never hurt my feelings one bit heh, heh, heh.
My dad used to own R600s from this era. I remember a factory sticker on the dash stating something to the effect of 'Do not exceed 2300 rpm or serious engine damage can occur'. It turns out they weren't lying. We had one truck that exceeded 2300 rpm during a downshift and it bent all the valve pushrods. I think it was a 237 hp maxidyne engine.
Young Man you got you something there, I never was a Mack Man but the vintage is exactly when i started my career, saw a glimps of the pto/dump controll on the OUTSIDE of the cab? Most people think it was just an easier way to install them but what the reason was they wanted you to look as the trailer was starting up to make sure you was level, Most guys would stand on the step and rev the motor with your left foot and watch the trailer dump completely. Remember the old trailers DID NOT dump as good as the newer ones plus no liners back then. VERY KOOL, Please post more Videos, And Good Luck and God Bless You!
My dad run the same tractor and a fruehauf 28ft aluminum bathtub trailer too 1969 mack r model 5 speed maxidyne 6 cyclinder too maxitorque too with a jacobs jake brake too 300 6 cyclinder too he dtove for emerick trucking jim mckeag in linden pa too in williamsport too truck no 51 too
oh when i bought the new 71 they told me if you got an oil well you can just burn that in there so when it got older i burned a lot of used hydraulic oil and some old stored gear lube ( to settle out the metal ) and you know what it smoked less when i burned up all the old drain oil but it really liked hydraulic oil the place that repaired fuel pumps said those old macks could swallow anything i sold 5 old macks to africa and they have the highest Quality crude oil in the world thats why they loved those old macks they run em right out of the oil wells
mister this truck only has only a third of its life gone i had a new 71 mack dm and an 85 dm mack i sold the 85 with 1 750,000 miles on it and and a rebuilt motor with 200,000 miles on it just want to tell you that was the best motor that i had if they got that motor from mack its better than new those motors were enjeneered to be remanufactured a few times .
I like this Mack. They don't make them Luke they used to. The "new Macks" are now VOLVO'S now, so they will never be as good as the American made Macks. I miss the old American made Macks made and built by American owned and operated companies.
Gotta love an old R model Mack!
More vids about your truck. Your vids about your truck are super helpful. Thanks
Good ol dog, try to keep her going if you can, it’s worth keeping. And the 300 plus is a great motor

MACK R model could be the perfect truck. I'd Drive one still if I had one.
They are the perfect truck. We still run R models here in Oz. We call them Valueliners here with the set back front axle
My dad drove a 1969 5 speed 6 cylinder too but same trailer too a 28 ft too he hauled coal and sand too kh
You keep the maintenance on that truck and keep the rust down that truck just went out last you them 300s were a beast little motor that could
When ships were made of wood and men were made of steel
Now everything’s made of plastic and most men are made of flowers
Eres afortunado por tener un tractocamion como es el Mack, chulada de camion 🖖
That cab will be long gone and the rest will still be running and driving
300 plus is hard to beat

I never would have gotten away from Mack if they weren't so tough on your left leg and hip.
Viva DIOS por siempre.

What's the purpose of the deck ahead of the dumpbox? The door bottom can be repaired if you can't find one.

A 1971 Mack with a turbo diesel?
Ah back when trucks were trucks not plastic and fiberglass and gutless with pollution equipment
Still fiberglass on the hood on that r model
