    Best part is how he grew several inches between those events! That's great! LOL!!!!!!!!!! You ain't right, O'Dog!

    Most of the Bendix Tu-Flo type compressors were available with an open back for a P/S pump. So were a lot of Mack branded ones. Do you know what compressor is on there now?

    Sorry to hear that. I know how much it hurts to lose a friend. I don't have many real friends left. Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends.

    That's a lot like the one I did on mine. Seems like a needle bearing on one end and a Teflon-lined sleeve on the other end. Needed no reaming or fitting. Just bolted together. Only issue I had was that the screws holding the cap on top of the knuckle had to be drilled out and the holes cleaned up. I replaced the Phillips head screws with socket head cap screws. No interference anywhere and a whole lot easier for the next guy to get out.

    I saw this in person. They actually did a pretty good job of shaping that lever to clear your foot. But, yes! There is not a lot of room there!

    Nice! Thanks!

    Yeah. They’re 13 now. One is nearly as big as I am. The other one is bigger than I am. The taller one is 6’ tall and weighs 182#.

    Of course, right now I can’t look up anything! Having a temporary change of scenery! That’s the grand-twins in the pool.

    Sometimes those are different revisions of the same item. Might have to do some measuring to know for sure. Also the build sheet number might not be for the “kit”.
  12. doubleclutchinweasel
    I’m not sure. I’ll have to look into that.

    Howdy, Larry! It varied from year to year here’s a 211hp ENDT-673.

    My genuine pleasure, gentlemen!

    A good hair dryer definitely helps.
  16. doubleclutchinweasel
    That would be a wise investment, right there!

    Hard to do. The engine almost disappears between the frame rails!

    JoJo, the ones on my FA535 axle did not require anything done to the holes or the bushings. Not sure if that has always been the case. I can't remember for sure, but I think mine had a needle bearing on top and a bushing on the bottom. Seems like freighttrain did a set in about 4 hours! Mine took me all day!

    I can't make out all the words, but the stuff in the red oval is all aluminum on the "L" suffix trucks.
  20. doubleclutchinweasel
    Oh, and sometimes cabs and hoods get swapped. The VIN number on the frame might tell a different story. Might really be a 686, for instance.
  21. doubleclutchinweasel
    "RS" prefix should be a Western version of the "R" with a steel frame. "RL" prefix would have been a Western "R" with an aluminum frame. "L" suffix is for lightweight components (check for an aluminum bell housing, for instance). "S" suffix is tandem drive. R685 and R686 would have different engines. Not sure what the HP ratings would be for 1979, but originally (like in 1967) the R685 was the ENDT-675 237HP Maxidyne. R686 was a larger engine (ENDT-676 285-300 maybe?). And, again, the Western versions may have been different on engine specs...I don't know for sure. Most of my knowledge on these things stops in about 1973!
  22. doubleclutchinweasel
    Kinda neat, too.
  23. doubleclutchinweasel
    This particular (1965) one is a good reference, because it shows the "standard" configurations of 2 different R600 models, and it has the second page which shows options. You can see the optional engines, transmissions, and clutches...among other things...on the 2nd page. For instance, it shows the ENDT-673C engine option for the R611. Wish I had a bunch of these in person!

    Mack called single-screw models "4 wheel" and twin-screw models "6 wheel". You can see examples of that on the brochures I posted. Most of those 673's had a HP rating on a tag somewhere on the engine. Can't remember if it is on the engine or the pump, though. I'm betting 211 HP, as I think that was the rating on the ones with no other letters after the engine model number.
