Unless the dowel was missing no! there is a small possibility the dowel stuck in the fly wheel if thi was sent to the machine shop for grinding and was never put back in! 

i have seen that before.

cab overs were very scary when bobtailing. especially short frame single axles. 

a good brake jab on dry roads and you could feel the rear come up and the cab start tipping over. 

the twin screw long frame freightliner i had was not nearly as bad. 

Years ago peterbilt here in Tulsa was building a glider kit for some one and it was short wheel base.They had just unloaded it in their yard and they take it inside for the work to be done.This was a cab over no rear axle or engine.Some one started raising the cab and it flip over forward and the frame rails went in the air and the cab hit the floor.

Also the rear brg was a problem years ago.I dont know or cant remember but i think it could be removed with governor still on pump.

My first new pickup was a 1966 later model that was called a 1967 that looked like a Studebaker,It was a 250ci engine 3 speed long narrow wheel base and no air.It cost 2163.00

What breaks those liners at the seal grooves is the pistons have scored to the liners.I have seen it hunreds of times.When it is built back make sure and have the rods checked for being strait.The engine has been very hot at some time and run under load to do this.Be carefull with the fuel lines to the injectors because they were hard to find 20 years ago.

Tommy i be happy for you two.Now tell us how many kids you plan on.

I just built an E-Tech in this RD, back in July...   RD 688S/ 45719...  Call Mack and get a part number..   Let us know how you did...   jojo

That will work

The best that i remember the mount for the engine.I replaced a E6 with a E7 in my Superliner and i dont remember any difference in the engine mount.

You need a later model cross memeber.

What makes one hop up and down in sand is if you notice is with air ride its not so bad as with something that has  rocker between the front and rear like a camel back or hendrickson walking beam.This tells me that when one wheel spends in sand the rocker beam will counter react on the other axle with the opposing wheel of the rocker.one wheel goes down and the opposing wheel comes up till it spins in the sand and it goes down.Now i am mixed up.I had a camel back and it was bad in the sand but not so bad with the CH with air.

If i had a line cracking problem that can not be stopped i my self would go to a over flowed injector and i am speaking of a gray engine only. my engine has bigger injectors in it now.

The screen was used when the early engines did not have a full flow oil filter but only a by/pass filter and it was a luberfinner 500.I can not rememeber how the screen was connected to the cover.

I have had good luck with pai on all parts from them.

The rear ends are SQHD or SLHD rockwell.

A runaway DD can kill ever body big enough to run if you dont know what to do.

Can anyone identify this 4 spring suspension?

it is on a 1972 RS700 that I believe is a glider

This may have been a glider kit because there has never been a mack suspension bolted to that frame so that means some one built a glider kit.

that is freightliner rears.

That pedestal bolts to the flywheel housing, not the bell housing.

Are you talking about the flywheel housing or the trans bell housing?The flywheel housing will be same but the trans housing will not work from a mack trans to a eaton

Check for water in the fuel.

Joey in about 1982 i had a steam cleaner and a good one.It had a quick coupler from the cleaner to the hose and i had it going real hot when the hose blowed off or come disconnected just as i walked by it.The steam or hot water hit my right leg about pocket high and hurt real bad.i go to doctor and he use the white slave to put on it and cover it with a rag ever few hours.It took about two months to heal but me and the snap/ on tool man fly to Oshkosh to the air show and we just set up a small tent next to the plane to stay in.That night i changed the bandage on my leg and the sanp/on man fants right there from watching.He claims he could see the bone in my leg.A burn is no fun. 

This could be the screen and bag or it could be the drop in paper element so pull it out first.
