I see them now. I was looking in the wrong lot. That makes my sticker peck up!

Holy smoke! Can you show the long. and lat. on that maps shot?

Clipped this from an Etnyre history lesson...

Incidentally, I believe the "standard" you are trying to achieve is 1,000 revolutions of the cable per mile. For what that's worth!

Holy crap!

There are several folks out there who might be able to help... https://www.texasindustrialelectric.com/800_Series_Speedometer_Adapter.asp https://speedometercablesusa.com/gear_box_adapters.html https://recordtechnologies.com/products/ratio-adapter https://www.bobsspeedometer.com/products/ratio-adapters/ https://www.dicksspeedotach.com/speedometer-adapters/

Ran a bunch of R-models with 250-horse ENDT-673C engines and 18-speed Quadruplexes. Were very good, reliable trucks. Real slugs compared to what they have today. But, pretty good for the day. 170-horse B-models we had were tough, but slow.

Both appear to be overdrive models ("X" and "O"), at least. Does the RTLO still have the "reversed" shift pattern in the 2 top gears? I know the "old" ones did. That was corrected by the "X" top plate. The RTF has the shifter moved forward (the "F"). Not sure if the other one would cause you any issues with location of the shifter. Might be possible to swap the top plate (use the "FX" version) to deal with both of those issues, but I do not know that for sure. I'll bet somebody on here will know though!

Glad to hear it!

I have not heard anything about Jack in several years.

Those brochures must be "new". By the way, I consider "new" anything past about '72!

Greetings, Ratchet. Where are you located over there?

Yip. Not for us old-timers, apparently!

Saw that one on there a while back. Lots of work went into it.

Too cool!

Guarantee if I can do it, you can do it , Mke!

Hello, Franc.

Awesome. Glad to hear you got it started. Keep us informed.

Yeah, I don't understand the "prototype" thing. There were scores of Maxis running around down here in the late 60's. Most were R685's with the ENDT-675, like 67RModel said. In fact, every one I ever saw was a "green dash" model. So, that dates them a good bit. I only remember seeing one or two on the V-8's. Not sure what years those were. Seems like a little later. I am very curious about that "prototype" comment. I'm having a hard time imagining so many prototypes being right here in my neck of the woods. Unless the entire 675 run was considered a "prototype"? Regarding the gold dog, LATER on it meant something different (all-Mack). But, in the late 60's the gold dog just meant gold engine (Maxi). That seems to come up about once a week on here! LOL!

I personally saw Maxidynes in trucks in the late '60s. I think the oldest one I persoanlly remember was a '67. I believe the '66 intro date matches what I have read. Maxidynes had gold dogs and Thermodynes had chrome dogs in those days. Maxis were painted gold. Not sure where the '72 date came from.

Seems like I remember parts of this some a while back. Glad to see it's still in the works.

Interesting. Pressurized air making its way to the oil pan through the hole in the compressor piston?

That's what I saw, too. Glad it wasn't just me! The "link" option won't put the picture here, just the link, and that MIGHT work for Mike if he can't use the other options.

I also noticed that the "direct" link worked for me on here, but it may not for him if he's having trouble posting pictures. Example:

Hadn't thought of that. Maybe he's reached his limit. By the way, I could not get the postimage thumbnail or hotlink kind of things to work here. But, I noticed that the "link" worked fine. Example: https://postimg.cc/vxm81hxb
