Yes can put 12 volt starter and do away with S/P.I put ais volt starter off a J series Cummins and used a solinod off a gas engine which was mounted on fire wall .You can get one with solinod mounted on starter. Any rebuild shop that does gen,and starters can help you out.Bob

Was Roy the fellow that had the LT log truck at Reno in 01.Beauty of a truck.I was there all three days .Loved it.Had mine in Portland in'92 and in Spokane in'95.Drove it to both shows.Over 1000 miles return trips.Would like to see it up our way someday.Seattle again or Vancouver B.C.Bob

Brian : what are you going to put in.looking for a head for 354 engine out of EQ.for local muesum.Where are you located.Bob

KIDNV: tag would be on jump seat or right frame rail between rear front spring hanger and hose for front brakes.Very much appreciated.I have a picture of the truck when it was at Southwest Kenworth in Sparks Nev.Love LTL'S

Jason:If you can take the pedal off and the rubber boot and spray wd-40 on plunger then let it sit for a couple of days.T he punger is made of aluminum and corrods against the steel bore.You might have too spray it acouple of times or more.If you can get peddle right out then take top part apart and try and get plunger out.Thats what usually happens to them due to water.Bob

i found when i started out was to buy tools as you need them.ie:don't go out and buy a big 3/4 drive because half the sockets you never use.find out what you need then shop around.same as big combinations,some of mine have only been used a few times.if you need to borrow wrench from someone you more than likly need it so buy one of your own.Bob

mackLmodel:I think that was the size used in the B-50's,maybe even the B-422's.Bob

mack4ever:somewhere along the line of 673 engines they went to roose-amaster(not spelled rite) fuel pumps which you have on yours.the boosh in line maybe were on strike or couldn't deliver.Bob

Andy: Ihave a EQSW,model:EQSW 64,chassis number EQ2D1478.new in 1948.one of three purchased by local logging co.I have the third truck,2nd was destroyed in '54,the first is in a field not far from where I live.It's numbers are EQ2D1485,in which I have tag.Have pictures of EHR1D-12222 being down a few years ago.Is it registered and do you know if its finished.He had another for parts.forget his name.ther must be quite a few LJSWX macks in AUS.have pictures of a pair of yellow ones from there.Yours is definetly a LJSWX.could you tell me the chassis number of it.mine is 2D6826D.Also had EHX I got for engine and mono-shift trans.double reduction rear end went into a muesum truck here but I kept the tag.Bob

a 354 is the correct engine for EQ.opptional was diesel or 431 thermodyne .a 402 out of B-42 will also fit.a lot of truckers put REO Gold Comet or WHITE MUSTANG in.fit with little or no modifications.mine hade gold comet OHV took it out and dropped 354 A right in.front and rear mounts fit the same.Bob

the engine model and serial is on timing gear housing on the right side about in line with number one exhaust port.need a small wire brush to clean surface off.good luck.Bob

I hope who ever gets it leaves the Hall-Scott in and converts it it propane or nateral gas.They used to run them on Butane in the 50'sfor better mpg.Bob

could I get chassis number of this truck.easy restoration project for a beautiful model of a Mack.
