Re: Mack M75SX
OK, you will say I'm a "rivets counter", but the M75 had a tubular front axle ! So I propose you to send this one to me (will fit perfectly for the LRVSW) and make a new one with the correct design...

Re: Mack M75SX
He, he !!!! I like the rugged I-shape frame and the walking beam type rear suspension :D

The french company Vendeuvre was once well...

Re: Unit Cable Hoe
Not easy to load with this central sprocket design, but there's not a lot of these left, so it was worth saving it ;)
