A quick start up, walk around, and rolling a little coal in an old one-stack bulldog Mack R-model tractor that belongs to a friend of my grandfather. This is a 1986 R686ST with a 300 HP Maxidyne engine and a straight 5-speed transmission. There are still plenty of these old things running around making money today, especially on farms. This one is hooked to a grain trailer and is being used for soybean harvest. It was a former Matlack tanker fleet truck (hence the lack of a passenger seat). Enjoy.

Matlack - Pipeline on Wheels. That tachograph, or what's left of it, brought back memories.

Cool old truck! A former Matlack tank lines truck to boot! I'd sure love to be her owner.

The R Model and the B Model were the Best 2 Trucks that Mack ever made, and they were also the 2 Best Looking Trucks Mack ever made. The CF Fire Series was also right up there with the B and the R as well.

I took my CDL test in a 77 R-300 about 13 years ago. Straight 5 speed was nice for starting out! Little fast in reverse though..

Nice! Certainly no creature comforts in that cab!

Absolutely nice truck man will you please do one like this one only start it up and drive it as well because I love that start up. It sounds good and if you can make it really long because I can’t get enough of the engine sound I would really appreciate it man stay safe and have a good one.
