my buddy barry bought a 1998 "red" mack and of course on the first trip it broke down. the back injector bolts broke off and the injector lifted up and pumped a lot of fuel out. we headed out in the SCREAMING FORD and winched the mack out from under the trailer then winched it on the trailer. the "wicked winch" enjoyed a little work out.

so what other problems do we have other then the injector bolts broken. did the fuel wash the cylinder down?????

it is not a snowcat, it is a ski-dozer by bombardier which means it is made for the ski slopes. they are brought up here from the south and die quickly on the rocks and bush u here. i tell people it says ski-dozer on the grill not bush-dozer, not swamp-dozer. they are a good machine in the south but please don't bring them up here to get wrecked. this one will be heading back south.
