    Yes, you can find a compressor that has an open back to attach a power steering pump. Be careful swapping compressors. Some (all?) have an oil feed tube that goes into the front of the input shaft which can easily be lost during the operation. Here is a little light reading for you... Mack_Tu-Flo Power Steering.pdf And here is a picture of a Bendix compressor on an ENDT-673C. The power steering pump is circled in red.

    Oh, hell. Here we go again! https://www.jatonkam35s.com/DeuceTechnicalManuals/Diesel_fuel_additive_test.pdf

    Just now saw this. I am much saddened by the loss of such a wonderful guy. My thoughts and prayers to the family.

    Not sure if this is the same axle, but it is the same type of end. Do you know the model number of the axle (located on front, passenger's side)? Look through the attached PDF file. Near the end, it actually has dimensions for the ends. If they match yours, you might have somewhere to start from. Front Axle.pdf

    We used to paint all the interior surfaces on out "hot rod motors" with Rustoleum. Sealed everything and made the oil drain back faster (or at least that is what the rumor was). Beautiful work...as always.

    I did not not know this until I saw it yesterday. But, Craig Sagehorn died earlier this year (March). Craig was Paul Sagehorn's dad. Paul is the one who had the "Movin' On" truck and still has (I think) the "BJ & the Bear" truck. His dad continued to drive long after most would have hung it up. So, my (much) belated condolences to the whole Sagehorn family.

    This rebuilder lists all kinds of part numbers for that series of transmission. They just might be able to tell you what the difference is. Notice that they show 2 different output shaft numbers right off the bat. https://www.transaxle.com/products/transmissions/volvo/volvo-t310p

    What years were the Sightliners made? Didn't they come out in '57 or thereabouts?

    Seems like I've spent half my life in that airport!

    Just went back and re-read the original post. If pulling out the choke cools things off, then it definitely sounds like a lean mixture. But... I think everybody here has listed all the normal issues. Inadequate cooling. Intake leaks. Lean mixture. Timing too advanced (hot piston/detonation). Timing too late (burns exhaust valves). Fuel octane (too low = detonation, too high = burnt exhaust valves). There are only a certain number of things here to look at. I'll be curious to hear the eventual solution, as I'm sure all the others will be.

    That is sweet!

    Holy s#!t!

    I know what you mean there. Mine did not take that long, but it was miserable seeing her like that.

    Me too. Top one looks too tight around the tire. Bottom looks more "R-like" to me.

    I miss Rob. He knew a buttload of stuff.

    They ran those off overhead line shafts. Big flat belt from the shaft to the lathe. To reverse it, you’d twist the belt. Have run many of these converted to electric motor.

    Trying to put one in gear without a clutch brake when it's pointed uphill or downhill can be a bit of a chore. Best to leave them in gear when stopping and don't be trying to put it in needlessly.

    Stray off topic? Not here! Never happen!

    What can we say…SQUIRREL!!!

    Any news? Anything? Anything?

    After all that, they pulled back onto the I40W on-ramp and stopped. Then, later, they continued on westward. Have no idea what was going on.

    Took a while to get off the exit and back to the plant at lunch today. One of those multi-section trailers trying to make the almost-U-turn off I40 East onto US221 North. Traffic stopped both ways, They finally got situated enough to start letting a few cars go past. I figure they'll be here for a little while! Maybe they'll be gone by the time I have to leave this afternoon.

    Quick Release Valves...

    Welcome, and good luck on the project. These early models are a little (a lot?) off my radar. But, there are some guys on here that have knowledge of the older stuff. Hopefully some will chime in and steer you in the right direction. Also, check with some of the guys over at JustOldTrucks (http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/Default.aspx). They are not all-Dog there, but they do have some guys with tons of knowledge in the early stuff...lots of which I can't even identify!
