That Mack's a huge step forward for Diesel Creek for not a lot of money. Congrats.

Awesome purchase! Glad Scrappy talked you into it. Thanks for taking us along

Full grown Big Dog. That's a forever truck. Congrats Son.

Keep your trees. Trees are good. You don't need a Walmart parking lot to have a functional shop.

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.

You think Sam had some ulterior motive for pushing Matt into that tractor? "Sorry can't make it today, Matt; but you can come get the lowboy."

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!

The Mack is OUTSTANDING. That's the only thing involved. Incredible.

It never ceases to amaze me that you can buy a great truck for the same price you'd pay for a high mileage, beat up minivan. What an awesome purchase!

That row of Penske trucks single handedly just proved flat earthers wrong.😂

Sam I drove a standard twin screw Mac for a lot of miles and that is definitely a standard dash control panel set up. Matt you absolutely got a sweet steal on the tractor I put close to 700,000 miles in the last one I drove I actually got choked up when they got rid of it watching you pull in to the farm brought back a lot of memories I’m retired now so that was nice. I babied that truck the guy who drove it on my days off got a sub truck one night and refused to drive he told them could eat off the floor of my truck and there’s no way in hell he’s driving a trashed out tractor. Man that is so cool seeing your truck thanks for that.

The Mack is AMAZING. That's all there's to it. Amazing.

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.

I like how Matt has the keys for all of the equipment 😂

You've got such a knack for turning every adventure into a story worth telling! Your ability to navigate through surprises with humor and resilience is truly remarkable. And im am floating village life.

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.

“You never know what you can’t live without” - DC I’m right there with ya buddy. My wife though, doesn’t agree with us! 😂

By todays standards, you got a steal on it. You and Scrappy together will have a great retriever for your old iron.

Appreciate the fact that you share prices, predict prices on possible equipment, and show the results. It really adds to the auction experience. Great purchase today!

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!!!!

Always a great trip to the Ritchie Bros yard with Matt and Sam

The Mack is a real beauty she’ll do just fine for your needs plus I love the auction videos you see some great stuff there ❤❤❤

Always love seeing the auctions. Wish I lived near one. So many good deals if you are looking for the right toys.

The firetruck was from Minnesota, I live close to those towns.

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!!

One of the best free things that someone can do to support a KZfaqr in the KZfaq 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.

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.

That fire truck is from Minnesota! Spring Lake Park, Mounds view, and Blaine are NW of the twin cities!

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.

Now that you have the mack,you can take more time on the autocar and not feel rushed and do it right

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!! 😂

The fire truck is from Minnesota. Blaine would be the most Notable city of the 3. Fun fact, I can see the northern border of Blaine from my kitchen window. I cannot fathom why they had a 110 foot tall ladder, nothing around here is half that height..

Congratulations on the new truck, something that's well-deserved. She is heavy, hual ready, and hopefully serves you well for many years to come.

YOU KILLED ME WITH THE sEINFELD REFERENCE WHILE ON THE FIRETRUCK.wasn't expecting that at all.

Firetruck is from Minnesota, down around the Twin Cities.

Finally Matt can haul his own scrap. Don't need to ask for his buddies to make time for him

Best part of Matt's auction buys. The follow up getting road ready.

I've driven plenty of those Macks over the years, an awesome rig that just keeps on giving.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1784">29:44</a> 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.

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.

Auction video for the win every time .

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="474">7:54</a> That ASV tracked buggy has got @AndrewCamrada written all over it!😅👍🏻👌🏻

That fire truck is from the north metro of the Twin Cities here in the state of Minnesota! My hometown!

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 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.

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.

Whenever I see a Penske truck all I can think of is the 11'8" + 8" bridge channel on KZfaq.

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!

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.

The fire truck is from my home town of Blaine, Minnesota. I remember seeing that truck around a few years back.

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

You stole that MACK, you lucky stiff! Nice snag, happy for you young man. Enjoyed the auction tour, thanks for the video.

The one go two stop three backup is a backup system to communicate. Uses a horn or buzzer. Used to be on almost every fire truck. Even straight trucks would have a button on the side of the back so your backer could communicate with the driver.

That's a nice toy hauler for bubby. Keep the great videos coming, thanks for sharing with us

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....

Kids go to the candy store, Matt and Clint (C&C Equipment) go to auctions. Getting all giddy and those big wide eyes because of all the new toys... 😂😁🤘

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.

Outstanding and awesome as always.Thsnks for sharing and taking us along

"You never know what you can't live without" Famous last words.

Auction videos are always fun to watch and see how close you get to the hammer price. Price is Right for gearheads!

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 think you two like going to the auction yard to play with big boy toys lol That was a good buy!

I think you did exceptionally well! Thank Sam for talking you into it! Eddie

Remember an old TV cop show where the detective is interviewing a woman in the hospital bed. "Who hit you?". "Mack". "Mack who?" "Mack truck".

That fire truck is from Minnesota. Spring Lake Park, Blain and Mounds View are northern suburbs of the Twin Cities.

"Don't have much to spend" Casually having 400k credits left 🤑

That ladder truck is far from home. Spring lake Park/mounds view is Minnesota

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1779">29:39</a> "If you knew morse code you'd already know that" Solid Ron White reference

Knowing the value of something and selling, it are two different things, but I love to see the hustle. Good luck.

i remember when you had like 10000 subs, amazing to see you crushing it, thanks for all the years and appreciate all the content

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!

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👍👍

Wow this truck was a steal. I love listening to Macks run. Good job Matt.

Needs a big diesel creek logo in the mack bumper. Living in UK I never see many vehicles like you see so its an eye opener to see different shapes sizes and sorts of vehicles you have over there and i love it. I dont think I could even fit that mack down my street where I live haha. Very cool.

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! 💪

Would like to see the full complete service you give the new Mac. Oil change , fuel filters , tans . Everything !

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.

Well that's pretty nice and you already know who to talk to who owns a green Mack , I'm sure Mike can answer anything you need to know. The auctions are very cool, keep em coming.

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.

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.

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.

This Mack is a great addition to your yard. It will help you alot for moving the heavy machines. Good job Matt!!

Thanks for a great video mate as always all the best to you and your family and your friends

So many penskie truck's you can see the curvature of the earth 😂😂

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 love your enthusiasm for unique machines.

The fire truck is from suburbs of Minneapolis Minnesota. That Mack day-cab is a great truck, you will get lots of good use out of it! Congratulations 🎉

Nice score on the Mack! Get that AC sorted and you'll never want to leave the cab 😂😂😂

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.

Looks like a great purchase with the MACK truck congratulations Matt 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I almost fell off my chair when I saw what it went for !!! Great new addition to the fleet. Absolutely love the auction videos.

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.

I like the name Darla... for the Mack truck. Congratulations. That is one heavy piece of equipment.

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

Your slowly getting bigger.heres hopping it all work out in the future.well done and here's to good luck. PS luv your channel

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

Matt at the auction calls here kitty kitty a dozer fallows him home😂

I'm sure Sam knows what he's talking about, but I personally wouldn't replace the tires on the push drop axle with duals, especially if it's a steer push. All that will do is make you wear out tires quicker, it won't really increase the amount you can legally carry.

Congratulations Matt, Great deal on the Mack! She sounds and looks great. Thank you for posting 😀

Awesome deal on the mack! I can't wait to see dirt perfect. Have a look at it. I would keep it for a good while.
