BOB DINGSDALE

without going to a lot of remanufacturing of the booster bracket you will be better off to find a couple of the remote spring brakes that MGM .B/W made with rod or chain attached to the slack adjuster. piggy back type won't fit o factory brackets .

seen a dockumentry on a line haul driver down under and the big concerne was fuel temp on long hard pulls. raising a cab up like that makes sense when you have to do any work under there. n/a trucks are mounted to low and you can't  even see under them. I've often thought that the engineres should be the mechanics after they design something. 

don't what it went for but my friend in b.c. got. waiting for chassis number

There were a lot of LT's up here on Vancouver Island of S&S trucking with HALL-SCOTT engines chassis numbers 1011 - 1017 and quite a few on the lower mainland with 707 engines chassis numbers lt-2d1224 & lt-2d1225. These were log trucks with off high way suspentions 11 & 12 foot bunks and about 25 ton trailers.Pictures show them to be way over loaded for size of truck. 

friend of mine has one he is doing up in VICTORIA B.C. There still out there .

quite a few western mack's in the b-73 range with that rad were made in calif for western market. but with the b model cab.i think when they put the bigger power in that rad they just made the core thicker. my friends ltl had a 200 cummin's with narrow core  and i seen one with 300 cummin;s but thicker core.

The rad is definatly off a LJX with that alum. side . The bottom side of rad is where it sits down on frame.I think the whole truck has been made up. A real clone Maybe the person who built it is on here and could explain things

wipers were lowered on the 1953 models.on top of wind shield in 1952.

model is a WC 26 PLTD prior to moving wipers to below windshield.

is there a one way check valve between compressor and primary tank.If not your valves in compressor could be leaking back. Something you would never hear. If you havn't got one in line get one and try it.

The yellow B model in pictures say's it's a B-85 but I thought B-85 was a fire truck or was this one converted to B-81 series.

have what your looking for in basement. Shipping from here to you would be expensive. Will get grand kids to take pictures if your interested. Email me.

built here in PORT ALBERNI

 frieghtrain : that's the one

picture of blue and white CHALLENGER log truck with E 9 Mack engine 12 speed Mack trans 91000 Clark Planetary rear@11.1 ratio 60 ton log trailer 1400x25 tires and 15 ft bunks 7 ft stakes.

I would say your rear end ratio is either 8.15 or 9.02's if you have 11:00 tires.

be interesting what it goes for and to where

nice looking Mack LTHSW in auction in LEDUC ALBERTA this weekend .heavy winch on the back.  ED Prodaniuk Auctions in ALBERTA

the best thing to do is to take damper off and see whats behind it to change it.might have to drop pan or take timing cover off.

Brocky: Is the Mack LJ with the big bumper a single axle or tandem and is that a Diamond T or Federal next to the white Mack dump truck. Any Idea if the owner of the LJX is on BMT.I would like to get chassis number for my records.

there are two styles to those lenses .I have one of the ones your looking for. don't know what there worth .I don't have the rubber gasket though but you can make them out of thick cork material. 

a gold mine for VLADISLAV

harry s: big bumper is on a MACK LJSWX not a LTL

yes that's the one but what type of suspension did they have. the tridrive's here in B C have to have all three axle with same suspension so they all have air bag's.

does anybody on here have any info on the suspension of the B model tridrive. don't what model B had them
