Here's a nice B-model Barry- not mine, but my picture. It's the one in Fairplain, W.V. They let me look at it and take pictures of it.

My best mixer pictures are similar to the one used before, but I can go clean it up and pose it in front of a Peterbilt or something. It has new cab lights and a new fuel filter on it.

I remember a guy from Roanoke that had one hauling chips from Dillwyn, Va. to Westvaco in Covington around '79 or '80. Had a 220 Cummins in it. It wasn't this one, his was green, otherwise they looked about the same.

I was driving down I-79 in West Virginia the other day, minding my own binness as usual, when I too heard what sounded like a tremendous explosion come from under the hood. I knew right away what it was though- the air to hose had blown again. Pulled over to fix it, I always carry a spare and clamps, but the hose was OK, one of the clamps had broken and the hose blew off. I put it back on and put a new clamp on it and continued on with no further difficulties.

Speaking of batteries, I got my secondary filter on the mixer today, had to go get one fuel line made. "Found" enough fittings at the shop to hook everything up, then when I tried to start it it wouldn't start. I jumped it off the pickup and it fired right up. I probably just need new batteries too, because these batteries have been in it since I had it, and they've been run down too many times. They were so dead one time they wouldn't light up a test light but the trickle charger brought them back to life. That was when I put the battery disconnect switches on it.

I had two H67s back in the early 70s, paid $2750 for my 61 in 1969 and $1800 for my 59 in 1970. Wish I still had just one of them today. I was at a show in Eastern Ohio yesterday and sat in two H 67s from the early 60s and looked at a third that was registered as a 1964 H63, not H67. Thought Mack stopped production of the H models in 1962 when the F model came out.

I don't remember the year the last one was made, but I do remember reading in my Mack book that they made a few after production officially ended. You could still order one for a while after the F-model came out.

My trucks, (B models) that only have a single filter are plumbed as I said from the tank to the transfer pump, then through the filter, then to the fuel pump gallery. My R models all have two filters and are as rhasler states. Think I was confusing with my original reply. The most rearward port on the pump itself is the overflow that returns to tank.

Rob

it was confusing with no pictures, word bubbles, and lines but I think if I go with the second picture it'll be right.

You're talking about this most rearward port right, not the other most rearward port.

the piping should proceed like this:

Suction from tank to inlet on primary filter

primary filter outlet to transfer pump inlet

transfer pump outlet to secondary filter inlet

secondary outlet to fuel pump

overflow fitting on pump back to fuel tank

This way the fuel is:

A. receiving filtration prior to entering the fuel transfer pump which prevents the transfer pump from being damaged by debris picked up out of the tank

B. receiving filtration after exiting the transfer pump which prevents any wear inside the transfer pump from being passed onto the fuel pump

so my last picture would be correct, correct?

the line from my tank goes right into the primary filter inlet. the outlet line from the primary is the the one shown on the bottom there. so, what should I do next?

I can take that line off at the bottom, run it into the inlet, then run an outlet line into the front port. then what do I do with the transfer pump where the line goes now?

how's this? I think i've got it.

why didn't I pay more attention, or at least take a picture, when I bypassed the filter in the first place?

That is a nice lookin UNIT. Looks like tha garage space has finally gotten too full with no room to walk around. Tom does know everything. He just likes to test you, to see if you are still in tha game.

So sorry to disappoint you both. See my fuel filter post to see just how little I know.

Grandpa was a teamster, too. Die hard, did as he was told, democrat voting (because the union told him republicans were the devil) teamster. It was almost embarrassing listening to the man talk whenever politics came up. Luckily he died before he had to choose between voting for a black man (although he'd use the politically incorrect term beginning with the letter n) or a woman in the primaries...

As for unions supporting Obama, I wrote a letter to the head of the UMWA questioning his endorsement of Obama after Obama expressed his intent to bankrupt the coal industry.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdi4onAQBWQ

How exactly is that GOOD for the UMWA member working in the coal mines? Yet, he received the UMWA endorsement from the union leaders.

It was pretty amusing, though. Everywhere anyone had placed an Obama sticker at most of the coal mines I was going in and out of, it was either scratched out or an "N" was scribbled in front of his name to read "NObama"

Theres a big billboard on the West Virginia turnpike near Beckley that says "Obama's No Job Zone" and it pictures Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky,Ohio, and Pa.

All coal producing states.

Got out and tested the splitter today. This also brings up another question. Is there any way to make the splitter operation faster on both the up and down shift? I have a 5000 series slave valve and 5/32nds air lines to everthing running to the shift knob. The high/low range is very quick in operation but the splitter seems to be a little slow.

I don't notice any noise from the transmission at all. Truth be told I also don't have the mat back in the cab, nor headliner installed so there is quite a bit of road noise permeating the cab. This could drown out any road noise.

Rob

some do work a little slower than others, but i'd still guess it's just the newness in your case. it'll probably get better all the time as it gets broken in.

the story so far-

I bypassed the secondary fuel filter because the canister was leaking. Bought a new base to install a spin on fuel filter. I was going to just run the one filter and leave the other on bypassed, but the new base didn't have double inlet/outlet fittings like the old one did, and they were backward from what I needed.

The lines are too short to just criss-cross so I decided to keep that filter as a primary, and mount the new base on the passenger side. I took the old canister and bracket off and drilled some holes to mount the new base on it.

Now, the problem is I can't remember what lines went where when I bypassed it. This line goes right there, but that line comes out of there and goes back into there...huh?

If Itake that line loose from the pump that comes from the primary filter and connect it to the "in" port on the new filter, does the out line go back into the same place?

Why did I run that line from the lower rear of the pump back into the front of the pump?

I'm gonna need another fuel line somewhere don't I?

I don't remember having an extra line when I bypassed it, I did have to go get some fittings though.

Well, I hope everybody else is as confused as I am now.

hey i wont mess with those swift drivers i was at a truck stop once when one of them lost it he went out to his truck got a gun shot 3 drivers before the gun ran out of water,

they are pretty high strung. I saw a similar incident once where a driver was giving was giving the Swift driver a hard time on the cb radio. After the Swift driver got parked he jumped out of his truck with a razor, fully intending to cut the other driver. Fortunately no one was hurt because he couldn't find anywhere to plug it in.

I say it looks like a Mack trans but I can't be certain. It does have an eight bolt PTO on the left side, and a six bolt cover on the right side. There are definately 10 gears as sixth gear is to the seat and down just after you pull the range selector up, and it has three countershafts.

The trans is dirty and can't be investigated for numbers until it is cleaned. The truck was used for private low boy hauling, and farm harvest. I also don't see any rust as it's always been stored inside.

Rob

I drove an International H.H.Moore had for one trip and it just didn't seem to shift right at first. It had a 9 speed in it, and I never bothered to look at the shift pattern on the dash sticker because I already knew everything. Then I happened to glance at it by accident, and what do you know- this transmission was altogether different than any 9 speed i'd ever driven, it had 4 in the low side and 5 in the high side, exactly opposite of all the 9 speeds i'd driven before. Never knew they made such an animal before then. So, even being as smart as i'm is, I still learn something new every now and then.

A Peterbilt with 735,000 miles?

I'm calling the people at Guiness World Records, and J.C. himself cause this has got to be a record!!

Rob

well, it might be more'n that, i'm guesstimating. I've put over 600,000 on it in 5 years. No record or anything, but not bad either considering how lazy I am,eh?

A cop is on routine patrol one day when he sees 2 Swift trucks pulled over on the shoulder. He stops to see what the problem is. He doesn't see anybody, knocks on both trucks, gets no response. He hears a noise over in the woods and goes to investigate. He finds one driver bent over a log with the other driver standing behind him, 'driving him home'. The cop says "what in tha' hell's going on here?" The Swift driver says "this driver was having a heart attack". Cop says "well that's not what you do if he's having a heart attack, you should give him mouth to mouth rescescitation!"(?) Swift driver says "I did- how do you think all this got started?"

crap...how boring...you should have gotten out of the corn field and onto the highway and opened it up, tested that splitter!

You'll probably have to run it a while before it shifts really smooth, it's all stiff now because it's new. After a while it'll prolly shift like a Peterbilt with 735,000 miles on it...of course then you'll be wanting a Peterbilt...the story never ends...

True Ed, sorry to hear of his passing but glad he left you the R-model.

Old one...very old-why does Roadway paint the fenders blue?

...so the drivers know which end goes under the trailer.

my favorite- why did the big R driver leave his wife?

...because he came home and found her sitting on a Trash Can, eating a Cornflake, with a P.I.E. in each hand.

He is one of thousands of people in the government. And lets not forget the two party cry baby kindergartners that do everything they can to screw over the opposite team (congress). He is in charge but does not have absolute power, that power lies within congress. The president can come up with the best or worst plan but has to depend on a building full of social degenerates to pass anything.

I have zero faith in anyone who is elected, honestly I do. Because no matter how good they are, the countless thousands of morons will make them look bad.

Republicans = people who believe in our Lord and saviour Christ, like Rick Perry, trying to save this nation.

Democrats = hippies who believe in their own greatness, bent on the gummint regulating everyone else to death.

Nobody wins.

I'm sure everyone has their own opinion.

All of the Chrysler dealers that the Fed's closed down after the bail/out, were all dealers that gave to the Republican party, an thats a fact!! Now just think about that for a minute??? The Federal Gov. comes into your business (an a lot of these Dealers were family mom an pop people private owned) an says your out!! Now what the hell did these poor people have to do with Chrysler woes? Now why in GOD'S name would you close dealerships (these are the people selling the cars) when they are not costing Chrysler any money?? an just how many jobs do you think were lost when they closed?? parts guys, cleaning , sales, an the list goes on!! Obama an his crew are the biggest bunch of A-holes I have ever seen in my hole life so far! Obama fed us a bunch of lies the other night, an again, for him to try an sell the made in America an keep American workers working?? well look around at Gibson, Boeing, the coal ind. an the car dealers that they closed an talk to the people down at the Gulf Coast, just how many drilling rigs did this idiot send on ther way to other Countries again costing Americans there jobs an at the same time sending So. America Billions of our tax money for oil exploration!! Obama is in the tank for someone.. an it sure aint us the American workin people! An don't forget when the price of Gas went above $3.00 a gal when G.W was pres. the news ABC NBC CBS all reported how bad it was for us, an it was all because of Bush an his oil buddies!! But now when the price of gas was over $5.00 in some parts of the Country with Obama in office.. those same news people (except for Fox) said that it was good for the Country because now it gives us an incentive to find alt. fuels!! Oh an by the way..Gibson backed the Republican party.. do I see a pattern here??

BULLHUSK

Amen brother! (bulldogman)

John P. Hughes Motor Co. in Lynchburg, Va. was one of the oldest Chrysler dealerships in the country. They sold new and used cars, big trucks, and were Cummins certified as well. They lost the Chrysler dealership, but fortunately they are still in business selling used cars and trucks.

All y'all know the difference between Schnieder and J.B. Hunt right?

no...we do not.

changing the subject slightly-

here's some pictures-

this is 4 pieces of steel, 10,000 lbs. each, that I picked up in Masury, Ohio and delivered to Craneworks in Pamplin, Va.

An orange truck. My comments-

"what's this Schneider truck doing in here?"

"Oh- keeping with the vegetable theme, this is the pumpkin?"

A yellow truck-

my comments-

"wtf is this, a bulldozer?"..."no, it's a short bus"

"oh- keeping with the vegetable theme, this is a squash?"
