My 759 made it's debut tonite in our town's St.Pat's Day parade.I gotta admit it wasn't my first choice or even 2nd,cause I haven't had a chance to do anything to it yet since getting it home.But,the 2 old gassers,my Mack EF and Brockway 88,didn't want to fire up after hibernating,so I put 2 new batteries in the 759 and it fired as soon as I poked the starter.found out it ain't going to break any speed records,58 mph at 2100 if my speedo is right,but boy does that old 6-71 sound sweet.It was only a 10 mile round trip into town and back,but I was real pleased on how it drives,all in all,a successful first outing.

Mike It must be nice and a lot of questions driving the only Brockway in area. The Detroit is an added bonus. Joe D.

One thing I figured out for sure,I'm going to have to add a extra step below the fuel tank step.Pretty good stretch for my short fat legs.
