I would like to thank Gary Mahan and the Mahan foundation. Without Gary stepping in to buy the truck it would be scrap today. I'd also like to thank my Dad, John and Teddy Skiadas, Dale Lyon, Bobby Huebner and the drivers from Dave's! Along with everyone else who participated in and helped film the rescueof the M100SX! -Marty - Авто та транспорт
Wow… very awesome to save the truck… Very awesome. Just a shame the trailer couldn’t go with it. It’s part of the truck history.
I agree!
Not the original tho
There was only two of these trucks and trailers, pretty rare
Amazing she’s going to get a full restoration as shes the last one.great job guys & crew,
@@Chevy_man_1960zz 3 of them but don't know where the 3rd is
Charlie Mashburn repossessed this truck and trailer for a bank. It was stored at his Saginaw TX yard for the bank until he finally bought it from them.
The truck and trailer were never used as a unit by him. The "wedge" breaks were a safety issue as they never really worked well.
I did however build a steerable trailer out of the 4 axle "jeep" running gear and a triple axle 150ton running gear from a different trailer. (We moved a 625 metric ton vessel in Oklahoma with the steerable. )
I also built a portable bridge for Mashburn. We were going to use "Tuff-E-Nuff" to drive over the bridge to load test it, but the breaks were an issue. It was an incredible truck to drive even if it didn't stop to good.
We put counter weights on one of Mashburn's 75ton Mack's "Double Tuff" and used it for the test.
The trailer was a 500ton TSI if memory serves. It originally had float tires for use in sand. Another TSI trailer was part of the deal. It was a double goose neck so the back could be steered. We built the portable bridge out of the deck of that trailer. It was originally built for Trans Western, they became American Rigging at some point.
When we moved the 625 metric ton vessel we used Double Ugly and a 350ton lowboy under the front pulling and the steerable I built on the back with the Gerosa 75ton Mack pushing. That truck was later named "Double Tuff."
All of this equipment was sold by Mashburn to Lone Star Transportation.
It was sold again not long after at a Richie Brothers auction in Ft Worth when Lone Star found itself in financial difficulties.
Thank's for this
How did it get from Saginaw TX to NYC ?
The only dealings I had with lone Star was when they moved some kiln pieces, 1 was cut in 1/2 in Indiana and the other made it to Florida bent and non usable. 😮
It actually went from the Richie Brothers Auction yard in north Ft Worth to its next home, at least that's where I saw it last. The truck would have been hauled away just as in the video on a beam trailer.
There was a 5th wheel mounted on a plate that would hook to the trailers kingpin. The plate in turn had a king pin on the bottom of it. The plate had a place to hook a winchline to hold it straight. A heavy road truck would have hauled the trailer north.
I dealt mostly with 345 transformers, generators and turbines with Lone Star and Emmert. I took care of TXU back then.
We used this truck and m-75 moving heavy electric transformers in the 90's, when i worked at LoneStar Heavy Haul in Texas. They bought it from Mashburn from Childress Tx.
Straight piped it’s going to make happy noises.
Definitely with that big Detroit 💪🤙
Turbo acts like a muffler.
You can not appreciate all the work it takes to move an oversize load unless you have done it yourself. Job well done. Would love to see this monster once it's redone.
Oil on
@@chrisdupre2358.... "Oil on" ????
She is a beast! The largest Detroit I've ever fired up was a 16V 92, so I hope to hear this one run some day.
Mack debió hacer motores en V 8 más grandes de 18 litros y de 24 litros de 8 , 10 , 12 , 16 cilindros para satifascer la demanda y no depender de Cummins, ni detroit y Caterpillar, Mack se ubiera enfocado para equipar su gama ultra pesada
4 turbos and 2 superchargers, all the boost
It’s a shame about the trailer, but it makes sense if it wasn’t the original trailer for the truck. Thanks again for taking us with you.
Glad to hear the Mahan collection is saving a piece of history
Good to see this old Girl being saved, these specialist vehicles are a part of history like big muskie etc they should be preserved so all can see where our modern world came from and was built by these such machines, ✌️
Any one wondering where it sat all these years it was at Callahead Porta-Pottys at the end of Amstel Blvd in Far Rockaway. Thank you guys for saving it from the scrappers. It would have been suck a waste to lose it.
Imagine the cost of having to buy a new trailer with those specs. It's a shame that nobody has a need for a 75ft trailer for some specific jobs.
Thanks for sharing your journey bud.
Uncle Wayne-o Ol 2stroker would be drooling over this
the riggers were great but hats off to the driver who had to haul it!
Really too bad that he couldn't (or, wouldn't) take the trailer, as well. Other than Gary, and all you guys involved with the move.... Nobody probably would have known whether or not that... that trailer was the original trailer. It may not have been the original.... however, it was built for the Mack to haul with.
For whatever reason the "original" trailer was no longer there, the very fact that they had this trailer built for it... still makes it "original" to the truck, even if it was the 2nd one.
Hopefully, Gary's museum site will post some video's of the Macks restoration progress, so we can all follow along. Thanks for posting this series of video's to share this "save" for all of us to witness.
That is the "original" trailer. It was called the "Desert Fox" by TSI, the manufacturer. It did originally have big float tires for off road use. (Those tire filled out the area between the bunks on the trailer.)
Glad to see the old girl saved from being scrapped. Also credit to the lowboy driver for driving through the city
Thank you Mr. Mahan!
It’s crazy how it’s still using a regular fifth wheel! It’s amazing how much weight they can handle!
That is not a regular fifth wheel. Look closely and you will see that it is a side oscillating unit. It also takes a 3 1/2 inch king pin. A full inch larger than a standard unit.
Will you show any of the restoration?
Truck looks amazing for sitting right on the water for decades. Dont forget that hole area was underwater for a while during sandy also. Shows they used high end steel for its construction.
I hope you revisit this during its restoration, and also show us it when it is finally finished and up and running.
Just looked up where this was. There is some serious old equipment in that place and the surrounding businesses worth some value.
As a kid i would have loved that area.
So cool you caught these pictures!!! THANK you! W900 bringing a dog to the kennel! Bitchin
The original Transport Systems trailer was a 450Ton model, there was a triple axle dolly that would’ve been coupled between the M100 and the 450T itself. The dolly was a Transport Systems Incorporated 250Ton model.
You’re correct. I misspoke in the video. I went looking for the trailer data plate but was unable to find it so I went off of what other people told me.
Thanks for the Intel. 👍
The trailer was originally called the "Desert Fox". It had much larger tires for floatation on sand. I remember it being a 500ton trailer. I was Charles Mashburn's equipment builder and maintained his equipment. The scream that the air started on that motor let out was startling to say the least.
That truck doesn't need any restoration - almost no rust on it! Change all fluids and call it a day. Thank goodness it will never become a box of nails, good job!
She's a big girl, good luck with the restoration 👍
Maybe Mack would like to help and get involved?🤔
It would make a great piece for their museum.
Probably the most interesting recovery I've ever watched. Very cool truck. Best of luck to the restoration team. Thanks for making this video.
Quite a rig! Sure would be neat to see the restoration process. 💪👍🏼
Stellar load out video. Mack fans are in much appreciation.🤘🏻
I can't wait to see the engine to start on that truck
Wait till you hear the air starter wailing...
This is the coolest ever! Can you thank him for saving it for myself? They don't make then like this
Great follow up to the first video.👍👍👍👍
9:14 WoW look at that leaf spring stack ;-) I counted thirteen, on one wheel! Impressive.
Super dass so eine tolle Maschine gerettet wird❤❤❤
Hi, Backyard Barn Finds, this is a great find, the money sunk into this will be more than worth it. This Mack M100SX is a historical piece of equipment. Curious as to whether or not it will be used as a working truck or just put on display ins a dedicated shelter of some kind. The DD 12V149 is one heck of a power plant, it's so very, very durable, an excellent power plant for stand-by, industrial or off highway! All the best with it. If you need more money to do the restore, an idea might be to set up some site to donate money, and I'll donate. I loved big trucks since I was 6 years old, I'm now 71 - and still a kid at heart, for trucks, locomotives and piston powered planes.
Wow, saving it from scrap is a GREAT thing !!!
'Hi, honey, I'm home' What a beauty.
I’d be willing to bet it not as loud as you think it might be due to those 4 turbos it has. Turbos usually have a quieting effect on the exhaust noise much like a muffler would. It’s still a shame the trailer can’t go with it. It could be displayed at the museum with another large truck on its bed to showcase the size of this one.
I have driven Tuff-E-Nuff on location. It and it's little brothers Double Ugly and Double Tuff were really not to noisy. Well except for the air starters.
very understandable about not wanting the trailer. glad you covered this move.
We sure thought it would be very understandable… 😂 Apparently not. Smh
WOW....... Thank you for taking the time to document your work AND share the video.
That's is a shame that they are not going to get the trailer to go with the truck to have a complete roller that would be a great historical piece that it would be a great piece of history to show what they used to move and build our great nation.
Thanks for the videos! The truck and trailer can be seen on Google Earth as far back as 2003 at the west end of Amstel Blvd in Far Rockaway NJ.
Thanks for the follow up video! Great that it's going to a new home for restoration. I can't even imagine the cost to move it between the all of the recovery vehicles, permitting, etc.
Are we gonna see a restoration video for this beast ??? That would be absolutely insane !
That seems like a stupid waste to scrap that trailer, hell if nothing else it could be put back into use with pretty minor repair by the look of it
Agree
Then buy it or stfu.
@@raptor31able ok troll
It would cost more than it’s worth to move it from its current location together.
Some people don't realize how important scrapping useless metal is . Could build 20-30 + vehicles outta something sitting 40 years but it makes sense to let it rot til nothing is left. That junk truck needs a date with some addicts and torches. If not I guess buy a nice trailer to put on it for the homeless that's the only potential it has ❤😊 Leroy big toenail is way more desirable
Nice move! Very nice video thanks for sharing. To bad about the trailer.
Great job guys. Thank you 😊
Glad its Saved, amazing truck and history!
Thank you for not mentioning the trailer.
Thats one huge mother, but looks to be in great shape overall. Glad its being saved,,,,,Love ,,,DUBS,,,,,(NJ)
Hope I see this monster in "Snowrunner!" 😁
Very vool, thanks for the closer look
Get the trailer. Show the comments section to the man with the $ and say "public opinion is save the trailer". You know it needs saving.
Please make another another video of this after this been refurbished would love to see it
Four turbo and two blowers!!! Cool engine alone!
Will be great to see it start up again
SAVE THAT WAGON!!!!!
Those axles are immense. Building this thing must have really been something.
Awesome video MJ
Great video mate - Keep em coming.
That's a big lift. On my channel back in 2001 we picked up a steam locomotive in Scranton PA.
So damn cool 😎
Thanks for sharing
Wow cool thanks
Mack is king.
Awesome old truck. It’s more like an old Euclid style off highway truck
Sick!!!
I removed the air cleaner pots and piping removed the sheet metal hoods getting it ready for blasting and paint it was a great experience working on this beast Thank you Gary Mahan
Cool !! nice job !!
483 👍's up BYBF thank you for sharing 🤗
Beautiful truck, saw a video the other day with one that was painted white at a fair
Good Save on the truck ATHS maybe interested in the restoration process for their publication. A writer or two restore and help others with projects..
The behemoth 🥶
Really looking forward to the cold start of this truck when the time comes. Great video. Please keep up updated.
Won't happen in anyone's lifetime but maybe the next few
@@Ross-ql9fiwhy do you think that?
@@LetsFNgo probably because it's been sitting how long I'm sure it will continue to sit. Guy in the video says it needs a blower and I'm pretty sure at least 2 are on it plus all of the other fun problems. Not saying it's impossible but feel it's a yard ornament and just something to talk about. Money pit
@@LetsFNgo hopefully someone will get it going someday I would try even if it's locked up tight especially if it is
@@Ross-ql9fi I am the guy in the video lol. I can promise you it will be making noise soon. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment on it. The Mahan foundation already has a plan to get it running and pretty again. Another update will be done in the future on that.
Selamat beraktivitas dan agar supaya selalu berhati hati dalam bekerja terima kasih sudah berbagi pengalaman
As a collector it’s a set.
Great work big guy enjoyed the first video and the. Second was just as good keep us up to date on progress
There’s another one of those trucks that are actually on the road right now. It’s called a hefty holler. And it’s painted white has a 1100 hp engine and is air started
This is what makes america stand alone. People care about things to the point of investing incredible resources into a pc of history. We have lost too much cool iron to the shredder.
I have changed my share of those and repaired them for over 40 plus years now and doing other service work on these big trucks for the construction industry.
Incrível gigantesca carreta
That's gonna' make for one Hell of an "in-frame." I wonder if they "re-power" it with a modern powerplant.
I think they should save the trailer, even if it wasn't original. It was still attached and made a 1 of a kind set. Save the trailer, too.
Transport Systems Incorporated in Denton Texas built that trailer to match that truck. I have seen comments here suggesting a Talbert was the original trailer for this truck, I am familiar with that Talbert, I built a portable bridge and used the trailer deck for the center section of the bridge. It was no where near the 600ton capacity suggested. To bad my father is not alive as he bid against Talbert to build that trailer.
Lend them the money to move and restore it. Looking at 25 thousand minimum just to move it.
$25k would not pay for a route study to get that trailer out of that location. The breaks would have to be gone through. New wheel bearings, tires, well you get the idea. I rebuild trailers of that type for Mashburn. He had that 500ton, a 400ton, a 350ton, a 300ton, a 250ton, a 3axle 150ton and a 2 axle 100ton.
dennis would have loved this move
Thank God they saved this piece of history. Too bad the trailer cant go with............
I don't know anything about this truck but I'm glad you saved it. Were the 12v149 mostly used as train engines? I heard of them but don't know what they are common in.
Proly sounds sweet 🤌🏼
Parker i wonder if you can find any of the original drivers that drove it back in the day for some stories?
The drivers from the Lone Star and Mashburn days are all dead. James Steely being the chief among them. I actually drove Tuff-E-Nuff on location and pushed with Double Tuff while Steely pulled with Double Ugly.
I want to see that thing run
If I had a dollar for every hour I’ve walked the dog I’d have a lot of milk bones. Mack, an American icon
Wow What a project! Just remember Marty it’s all about four words. “Pay Attention to Detail”
The rest will come easy
I hope to see all the work you guys are gone do to it
Save the trailer
It's better to have one in the hand than two in the bush. Restore the Mack and go back and pull the trailer home. It needs to stay with the truck. 💯
Seems like a helluva unit to be sitting on a 6 axle setup..... especially in NY! Moving it at night must've had something to do with it 🤣
It was all legal lol. By law oversized stuff has to be moved through NYC at night.
That truck and trailer both have been in that same spot due to the fact it's expensive to maintain, move and operate. It would be cool to see this outfit all painted up in a museum, but unfortunately it just doesn't make sense financially. I'm sure that truck is expensive enough to move and the trailer would be that much worse. I wish all parties involved with the truck restoration all the luck, and i can't wait to see it complete one day!
👍👌👏 2) This video could've even better with hearing the roaring of the truck hauling the big Mack. Unfortunately it was layed over by unnecessary music. Nevertheless of course: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.
Probably and proudly made at plant 5C, Allentown. PA.
How would you actually know that isn't the original trailer? That makes no sence I mean it only can be hauled by that truck. I'm sorry but as a collector piece it would be way cooler of a collector piece with the trailer idc what anyone says
You buy it then & pay the costs for transportation & restoration.
It is the original trailer. Came from TSI with different tires. I maintained Mashburn's equipment from 1981 till he sold out to Lone Star Transportation.
👍👍
Save the trailer!
