"Mini Mack" Dump Truck

MIni Mack Dump Truck AG WORLD Ag World I built it to look like a miniature version of an early 1970 s Mack dump truck says Art Pascale Monson Mass about the 10-ft long 10-wheeled dump truck he built using components off an old Sears riding mower including the machine s front and rear axles engine and steering gear The truck rides on 12-in high tractor tires and is powered by a 10 hp Briggs & Stratton engine that mounts on a frame made from sq tubing that s located behind the cab The rig s 5-speed transaxle is off the riding mower The dump box really works and is raised and lowered by a pair of hydraulic cylinders off a 1969 Ford convertible It was fun to build and really turned out nice says Pascale This is the third miniature Mack truck I ve built over the years I recently sold it to a construction company which painted it the same color as their company trucks to drive it in parades I mounted the engine on back instead of under the hood in order to make room for the driver The engine is exposed whenever the dump box is raised I use a 2-way switch on the dash to raise and lower the box Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Art Pascale 59 High St Monson Mass 01057 ph 413 267-9982
