    You sure have our curiosity piqued!!!!!!

    Kinda' off the wall, but could that be a mid-'50s Scania? Don't shoot me if I'm way off there!

    Good point on the Lanova heads. I will try to dig through some Mack info tonight and see if I can find anything that might at least narrow down the possibilities. I still bet Geoff knows!

    1. Is there a felt wiper that applies lube to the breaker cam? If so, add some grease to that pad to lubricate the cam and rubbing block. 2. DW has a more likely solution. If the voltage is wrong, the points might be sticking closed (think "arc weld"), putting too much load on the rubbing block while "breaking them open". This will definitely eat up the block in short order. I also had some points from Mallory one time that were just plain too stiff. But, I think that was a bad batch. They replaced them and I never had another issue with them.

    Here is another discussion about older stuff...

    That is more like where my mind was going, 67. Thanks for the details!

    Well, looks like Roosa had their first contract to produce pumps in 1952. So, still may be the earlier Mack diesel, before the ones I am more familiar with.

    Well, that DEFINITELY makes it interesting! Can't wait to see what this thing is! Earth to Geoff! Come in Geoff!

    That must be before my time. Maybe the late '30s-40s? I'll definitely be curious to find out what it is.

    Does anybody know, off the top of their head, the date and location of the upcoming Cherokee, NC truck show? I tried to look at the ATHS website to see the calendar of events, but all I found was a QR code to redirect me to an app to download. If I wanted a fu@#ing app, I would have gone to the app store. Too uppity to post the calendar on the website anymore? Screw that!

    Is that anything like "brain science"?
  13. doubleclutchinweasel
    Holy crap, Jo-Jo! That's a new one on me!
  14. doubleclutchinweasel
    So, that's probably not the one north of Atlanta, huh?!
  15. doubleclutchinweasel
    Which Rome?

    Wile E. Coyote would be proud!

    Left to right... 1961H67 and his helper/grandson (a cool kid), Brocky, Joey Mack, DCW and the 13 year old twin grandsons.

    The parking brake valve on my R was factory-plumbed in such a way to give an anti-compounding effect. Really clever, since it eliminated the need for a separate anti-compounding valve in the system. Parking brake system is actually very simple, and a huge improvement over the hand-operated brake. Great progress already. Keep us informed.

    Just verified that the gates open to the public at 10:00 AM tomorrow.

    Oh, and Freightrain is a good resource on this one. He's already done it.

    Seems like there have always been "short snout" and "long snout" water pump discussions on here. I believe they are crucial for putting engines into things like the B model which are "tighter" under the hood. Keep us informed.
  23. doubleclutchinweasel
    Wonder where they'll make up that money?
  24. doubleclutchinweasel
    I'm bringing the twin grandsons. I think the wife is planning to come too. Getting her to stand for a picture is tough, though.
  25. doubleclutchinweasel
    I was hoping you would bring him.
