The 10 ton mack M125
As I said, the M139 Project had to go, to make room for this!!!!! "the 10 ton mack M125", man what a truck, ever since I learned that these trucks exsisted I've wanted one!! then one night a couple of weeks ago I was looking at the photo gallery section of this web site and saw pictures of this truck. I posted the question asking who owned the truck, Jeff Symanski - Tacticaltruck.com, replied back telling me the truck was for sale and located in N.J. so I took a couple of days off of work and drove straight up to take a look, Didn't take long to figure out that I had to have it. So I contacted Ray Patton of Patton Trucking and here it is.
1000 miles further south in Jacksonville, FL. took it out this past Sunday for the first time for about a 20 mile tour. The truck runs just great only a couple of minor repairs needed such as exhaust system and the canvas top didn't surive the trip. also the front bumber is bent up from somebody pushing on it with a forklift.
got a new top on the way, and replacing all of the exhaust, as this truck has spent the last 15 yrs. sitting still!! Thank god it was indoors!!! As soon as I get time it is going to get a fresh coat of paint! More pics later.

Wow! She is a beauty! I saw some pictures of that truck a while back and really wanted to buy it, but the finances never came through. Glad to see you have a door tall enough in your building to squeeze it through. What are your plans for it?

One thing is for sure I'm not going to sell it like I did the tractor I used to own. my plans are to clean it up and paint it, make it road worthy.

When I first saw a pic of one on this site, probabably the same one I got sick with "big" envy. Hopefully I will have the time and funds to play that big one day If ther are any left.
