  1. Most guys punch holes in the cat! if yours is deleted it has likely been done already!
  2. I believe the 4 valve cover will fit either or !
  3. This in the case of the engines we saw was a random issue! call it a bad part/ luck of the draw! We also saw some that had valve recession meaning the valves sink into the head screwing up the valve set! and burning valves! Bad batch of valves we suspect! others may have other observations! I am no guru on these! Have seen some of the weaknesses is all! Just sayin!
  4. Note! we are still on track here! How To not to maintain you New Mack chassis paint๐Ÿ˜‚!
  5. The acid wash our local cement guys use here just shit kicks the paint! Not sure what it Is! They are not the greatest at washing the shit off! The suspension has stalactites hanging of it come inspection time ! Hated doing inspections on these ! we have two company's in the area one big corporate dude ! and the independent Guess whos trucks were Clean? the cooperate drivers get out and slam the door and go home ! The independent guys Wash the trucks off at nite! Look after shit !Did inspections for both company's Hated to see the corporates come in the drive way!
  6. The stuff we was selling was called alumibright ! 5 gallon or 4 liter jugs ! to make the wheels, tankers and wood chip wagons shine !
  7. Does the engine have the right rocker assembly for dyntard ! if the dynatard cam is installed you can use the dynatard rocker assembly's to complete the process ! Just installing rockers is half of the equation U can also get jake assembly's to fit this engine!
  8. Well got 035 tips today ! Welds great ! Very happy not to be fighting with fluctuating voltages and the auto set makes the setting easier! perfect
  9. Itโ€™s 120/240
  10. So all is good they had 035 at the store not on line is all! See how it goes!
  11. that there is the machine
  12. Well In my mind miller is doing the classic fixing on the fly ! We've all seen this done even in the Mack days! The m100 gun had some issues they updated it and didn't tell the dealers! Just speculating! will see Monday As they are close Sunday as they should be ! People deserve at least one day off!
  13. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&ik=c8f6ee3847&attid=0.2&permmsgid=msg-f:1750669193546336993&th=184ba05b288c8ae1&view=att&disp=safe https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&ik=c8f6ee3847&attid=0.1&permmsgid=msg-f:1750669193546336993&th=184ba05b288c8ae1&view=att&disp=safe Haven't tried it yet came with 030 wire and tips ! got 3/4 of a roll of 035 left off the tweco so waiting on a 035 tips ! as they have changed up the gun and the tips are now different that the tips they are stocking! bit of s pissoff!
  14. Well I blew the budget and bought me a new welder for my retirement ! I had a tweco 3 in one welder and was having issue with the voltage control switch ! so After an endless search to find a switch on line and at the dealers and Lack of info from the esab baphoons (must be subsidiary Of Volvo corp) Nothing!No switch! So I got pissed off and went down to the local KMS store here and bought A new Miller 211 hopefully will have better luck with this machine ! Not very happy about having to replace this welder it ain't very old however I cheaped out when I bought the Tweco I thought at that I don't need nothing special for just pottering on my saw mill and tractor etc. for an 800 dollar difference in price at the time! I found out different! We had esab at work and they were never to much of an issue! hopefully this will be a case of get what you pay for! wish me luck! Hopefully not another Volvo like purchase! ๐Ÿ˜…
  15. One thing about it its a front to back situation here no stone left unturned! ๐Ÿ˜…When we When we BS here on BMT we Do it front to back!๐Ÿ˜‚
  16. Seem to have to bottom the clutch to get it to crank and itโ€™s hit and miss!
  17. All good Paul you could be correct not sure on that either! Glenn โ€ฆโ€ฆ..?
  18. 350 is Econodye! It needs a multi speed trans to work properly ! They commonly came with a 12 speed in our neck of the woods! If you had a 285 Maxidyne you can get away with less gears as the Maxidyne has a huge working range!The 350 has a two stage aftercooled Coolant at the top ! 285 had Air to air only I believe! Never seen it offered any other way! You could swap parts and use the Chassis charge air !!!
  19. Yup
  20. Looking to find where the clutch switch And the neutral safety are located !Think I may have the neutral switch nailed!
  21. ya Nope Not a good Idea!
  22. Think it may be rayco suspension on the single axle ! If you use the tandem set up you should up grade the brakes to the maxi brakes! And there is a good chance the Tandem Has MACK Brakes not the greatest set up! They have slipper pads not rollers!
  23. Robert bosch can be fussy when cold! when warmed up set the idle with the screw behind the throttle lever 7 mm bolt size I believe! I would also suggest running some fuel conditioner with the fuel as these should idle at 650 no problem! not 800 if you tack is correct!
