Dog gone good look'n old F model. The roof ain't rotted off it yet either!! Someone definitely kept that one up. Hope you have fun with it.

It's bad. Real bad. I hate to even thing about buying car parts, as it's all build in China and put in an American box here. You can tell which box was actually made in America, as the Chinese box paper is thin as tissue and falls apart before you get it home.

Ohhhh, man. Wish I had the cash to do it! Surely don't NEED it...but sure would sound cool LOL!! -
B81 On Ebay:
Freightrain replied to Rob's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Ya, the chalky red paint really does it justice. Be curious if it really is as rust free as it looks? For the money, looks pretty decent. -
Wow! Didn't Know These Could Be Worth So Much!
Freightrain replied to Rob's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
I guess the FREE ones I got with all the spare parts when I bought my truck was a GOOD thing? WOW! I do have a set of plain black ones, since I swapped them out on my truck. Just need to find a nice set of arms to match the mirrors. -
14volts is fine. I wonder if maybe they are getting shook up a bit much on the road? Causing some splash out of the vent? Is it individual caps? Usually overcharging will make them evaporate and be low on fluid.

Well, sorta. Was out getting fuel tanks topped off for tomorrows drive and went by my friends lot. As I was talking to Bill Jr, Sr came out to leave with a handful of paperwork. I joked about it "being my lease papers?". He said "Sure". Jr then made a comment about needing new black signs, as the old ones were red. At that moment, Sr came out of the garage and slapped the sign on the door . Sr has been bugg'n at me for years now to drag a dump for them locally at the Timken Brg plant in Canton. Who knows? If my workplace get much worse this might not be such a joke!

I'm thinking you just need to turn the battery polarity around, basically. The diagram was ok, you need it for POS. ground.

My R/C planes never lasted long...........maybe it IS easier when you're INSIDE flying them?? LOL!! I'm much better with ground vehicles! I've found that I can back better, late at night, with no lights, blindsided, half asleep. Something about mid afternoon on Sat I can't put a trailer inside a football stadium if I try? Is it just me? -
Ouch! Did the switch come with a wiring diagram? I hated when I screwed with mine as I knew it would be a bad day when I smoked it by hooking something up wrong. Seems like you might need to reconfirm each cable and see where it got switched. Sounds like you got something grounded out or two batteries hooked directly together?

Nice find! Wow.

Stacks!
Freightrain replied to Greg Rider's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Look'n good Greg! -
The picture is good. Looks just like the one I had. Pretty sure you take the three screws loose(as shown in picture) and it should all slide apart. Keep an eye on the parts as you take it apart. You can rotate the segments after you pull the three screws, so keep them marked so it fits the same way.

7 yrs on the road and I don't get too worried when the fuzz is around, even when I crossed the scales. I looked in your profile, but didn't see the pics(only the truck). Usually in the rely post there is a "IMAGE" insert box you can click and it will link it to the post. Every website has a slightly different procedure, but not difficult.

Photos From Watt's/bmt Truck Show 2008
Freightrain replied to Barry's topic in Truck Shows and Events
Looks like a great turnout! Glad it was better weather then here in the Buckeye state. I wish I had made the trip afterall. Oh well, maybe another day. -
Ya, Mike. My g/f and I were making plans to come over, but after it raining for the second straight day we decided against it this morning. Sure would have like to come. Seems I recall there are two long screws that hold the whole deal together. It's been 6+ yrs since I had to play with mine(and don't miss it). I guess when they work good, they're good. Mine got to the point of "on my last nerve" and removed all of it.

My New Truck
Freightrain replied to hurstL78's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Wow...great looking truck. -
It didn't stop raining til mid afternoon. Straight steady pour all day.................geez. Can't wait for the pics. My g/f was evening wanting to ride over to check it out, but we decided against it.
-
Yes, there is a big flat washer that makes the contact for the starter. If it doesn't make full contact then it won't start. I used to have to pull mine apart occasionally. Thus it sealed the fate and I switched to 12v start.
-
Been raining since last evening with no sign of stopping. Doesn't look promising to make it over there Barry. I hope it doesn't wash out completely, sure would like to have made it.
-
Huh??? What's that? Well, here's for hoping the weather makes it outta here by Sat. Not too promising right now, keeping fingers crossed as not sure I'll drive 3 hrs in the rain
-
Ya, I put all new lines on mine before re-installing it.
-
TEST DRIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya boy!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!! Looks like I'll be there Sat morning, maybe around 10ish. If I can get myself going early enough!
-
Nice to work on stuff that ain't rotten to the gills!

My B was like that when I bought it. I finally bit the bullet and had it rebuilt(I think it was a TruFlo 500?). Mason Truck Parts in southern Ohio did the job. One day out, one day there, one day back and I was back in business. Wasn't cheap($500), but purrs like a kitten and uses NO oil. It came back painted black again, so wonder if they just duplicate what it was or should follow some "code"? It's taken a few years, but finally doesn't bleed oil down the dash! Welcome to the site. Hope you find it as useful/friendly as the rest of us.
