I think it was about the late 1960's to 1970(??) when the US changed the ruling from 2 axles to all axles. Even the 2 axle trucks had a limiter for pressure on the steering axle. This was to prevent "lock up" on snowy / icy roads.

Tom, I had the ethanol gas blow the diaphragm out of the fuel pump on my Diamond T. I also use it in my 92 Caddy as it sits for long periods of time. NO gum up's!!!I have one station locally which sells the premium non-ethanol, with several who sell regular non-ethanol. Many of the motorcycles and boats in my area use it.

Tom, In regard to your fuel pump. Did the previous owner ever run ethanol gas in it????? If so the diaphragm is probably eaten up!!!

There have been a couple of write ups about Brockway's design including pictures.. One picture has the headlights horizontal on one side and vertical on the other. Contact Tom Millard at oldspwr@gmail.com and he knows where to find them.

Joey, I am a firm believer in Shell Rotella 15W40. I run it in both my Diamond T with a rebuilt Hercules flat head six and my 92 Caddy that only has 135k miles on it. -
Welcome to BMT. It would be interesting to know how a truck from Poughkeepsie NY ended up in Luxemburg??????? There are some Mack collectors near you in Holland, who have an occasional show. Contact Vlad (from Russia) by PM or email thru here as he has their contact information.

Was out to dinner with a pretty drunk group one night when a smart ass who like his steak rare, told the waitress "Trim it's horns, wipe it's a$$ and walk him in"!!!! The waitress did not bat an eye. When she started serving us, the Chef, with is tall white hat, walked in with a RAW steak on the plate and asked " Would you like me to warm him up????" I thought the guy's wife was going to kill him!!!

I remember in the early 70's as a dispatcher for Matlack supervising a recovery, the shop foreman told me to be sure the wrecker driver removed both of axle shafts on the same side of the R-600 maxidyne / 5 speed and capped them with cardboard. I have to assume this did the same as dropping a driveshaft???? And a lot easier on a snow bank!!!! -
Thank You Guys!!!!! Nothing has changed.. Still have to mow lawn tomorrow after last night's rain..
