Contractors license: Good or bad

My dad worked in Plainfield and went to Hagerstown MD once Mack opened a new transmission plant. I was born in Hagerstown.

Yeah that was right around the time Walter May and his team started devoloping the "Maxidyne" high torque rise engine. Once that engine went into production for 1968 model year trucks Mack owned the vocational truck market for the entire east coast. Peak torque was down around 1200 RPM and you could run them with the TRL107 (5 speed) or TRXL107 (6 speed). While everyone else was banging away shifting, the Maxidyne was just pulling.

I still own one, a 1986
