I popped a head bolt on my 673............is that covered?? LOL!! Welcome to the crazy ward!
-
I was always leery when starting mine up. I always sat and watched til the oil gauge moved before getting back out of the cab. Mine was a bypass system with three lines. I pulled it all off, compared engine block pictures with Phil and determined this would work fine. It has. Hadn't heard about your spun bearing. Never good news, hope you get it fixed up.
-
The two line system just doesn't have a bypass in it. The bypass routes some oil back to the oil pan. I just put a spin on set up on my 673 with only great success. It builds oil pressure within seconds of starting instead of 20 seconds. I got my set up from Global truck traders, Phil took care of everything for me. He goes by "counterman" on here.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ LOL!! Yup, that's what I would say too. -
That looks like it's going to be short lived...............don't stand too close to it!!!!
-
When I was looking for a spin on oil filter set up, Phil contacted me with a possibility. Within a few days we had it figured out. The parts were shipped pronto, I received them already cleaned up and ready to bolt on. Great to deal with.

How thick are the gaskets when new?

You can make up the black hose, as I did for my B model. Buy the ends and hose, presto chango you screw them together. -
Kent, ohio you are up in my area,sorta. You get up around Barber-tucky (Barberton) give me a jingle and I'll buy you lunch.

Wow.......glad you were right there to help her. Lord knows what could have happened if the situation was different at the time. Another reason to put a big ol nanner on your bowl of cereal!

I have a little get together at a buddies place saturday. It's only 5 minutes from my h.ouse to. Its supposed to be a cruise in so I'm taking a hot rod. Going to a open house in Cleveland for a train club on Sunday. Full scale stuff!

Interesting. Looks like some other macks stickin' in the photo. A "B" on the left and maybe and "L" cab something on the right?

Hey Bill!!! Glad to see a post from you. That was another truck that I loved the paint scheme on. Good to hear you have recovered, for as well as one can recover from being hit by a woman in a truck. In the last two years, I've gotten clobbered by two different women in minivans. Lost my pickup in the first one, second one was fixable. Both were oblivious to me/my truck. Take care and stop by more often. Do you keep tabs with John Evans? We all here sent him Birthday wishes some time back and he replied.

"..........ya see officer..........I've got a smokin' hot load that needs delivered by tonight"...................... Lucky he didn't have flames comin' out!

The question is how desperate are you to have to pay that kind of money for something that is no longer available?

Very cool. Nicely done. -
Notice his avatar. Always liked the colors on that truck.

Well another year in the books n I didn't make it. I see rob missed the photo op again, he's not very photogenic!
-
Those concave cabs look TINY. With the motor moved back half in the cab and the back wall moved forward I could imagine you have to go outside to change your mind!!! I'm 5-10, 175 and fit easy in my B61. I can stick my left leg up in the pocket by the floor vent and actually stretch out straight legged.

I just found out that Peter has passed away on Sept 20th, 2011. No other information was mentioned. I spent 4 days with him at South Bend, hanging out in his camper while he drank his coffee and played on the internet keeping everyone abreast of the situation at the National Convention. RIP PeterJ LarryK

My g/f got me the white truck tshirt version of that shot. The truck looks just like mine, only mine has chrome shell on it. She won't model mine, but maybe in private LOL!!!

How to get a better sound from your air horns?
Freightrain replied to jaysm35a2's topic in Introduction Forum
I know mine used to sound "whimpy" years ago, til I figured out that the trumpet had come loose and it was leaking more air then blowing through the trumpet. I tightened it up and WOW.....it's pretty loud. I don't have the little twin set up, but a single long horn. Maybe that's the difference? I have another long one to put on, but missing the front support bracket. Few years back our ATHS chapter used to be in a local parade. I'd get the "blow your horn" request and I'd let it rip(for 5 seconds or so--til it showed I was loosing too much air) and i'd either get a "YEAH!" or you'd see people holding their ears LMAO!!!!! -
Liner Line-up, pics from Mack Days
Freightrain replied to Doug Maney's topic in Truck Shows and Events
Very Cool! I got to admit I got to fulfill a lifelong dream of actually DRIVING a 500hp V8 Super!! Well, not very far, but last weekend at the Cleveland IX Center, I got to move Stan Lemans Superliner out of the building. It was bumper to bumper and could only idle around, but hey.......better then nothing! I did get into 2nd gear . I made a little video on my "new" smartphone, just need to get it downloaded. Nothing special, but hey, I got to drive it! Someday I'll get up to Stan's and take it for a real "cruise". -
...........and everyone already knows he ain't got none to drop no more cus the fact they've been dropped on by a big hammer from the missus.

A "U" model has the step built into the rocker panel, visible below the door(which this truck does not have).
