She's posing for photos! I like the tow hooks, makes it look ready for work.

Bob's Speedometer is on the Mack Museum list of suppliers, it says they repair cables. https://www.bobsspeedometer.com/

The E3 is readily available to buy. You may be able to plug off some ports on the E6 to make it work, but I'm not familiar enough with it.

That's a fine looking truck, I'd love to have one in that condition today!!

I think that's the plan. The cab on the Ralph Smith truck (back of trailer) is too far gone, but the other one has a solid cab. I would have liked to restore one, but I want to do my Brockway next.

I had these two extra trucks, took a long time to sell them and get them picked up. Saturday the hauler came over and we loaded them up; they're finally off my property!

I've seen some truck drivers that needed oversized seats. 😉

Here's a pdf copy of that KSA book. https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/assets/ksa_book.pdf

Also check with John Chalmers at 717-334-8709 (let it ring 10 times). He may have retired by now but he used to have a lot of NOS Mack parts.

The ad says this is for a Mack, does anyone recognize it? I've never seen an electric actuator on a truck. https://www.ebay.com/itm/177545182424?_skw=vintage+mack&itmmeta=01K958NFAMRHC1N54SXWZP7XKY&hash=item2956847cd8:g:2~0AAeSwSdxpCNUi&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1dUu3SPKjrw9Rcruhv91698YL7ZnU%2FVwDihT0hrM9zga0lOxIg1xbaBj5QNI4FJH40UOK4xgHy%2F1Rn8f%2FHTYKZwoMTloVKjuRSJVxCG0HF52I231YgFX0i8aUEl1viOrz5S9PEM254Xc%2FfCZq2gMxjSZQhQ47dsa%2BRU3at725BPXCMKJaPkhiIr--yKKlKyaa%2Bj%2FUZnns%2Brd1HlWDRUSfnzcIzrMidbu6NIQt0sf9CADlU3TEcOdHm8oeV8ESei%2BaNPq9H3RPflurKI15F2o%2BrqApgJ9%2Bfrj4xr4XyUMawsmQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8D11ajJZg

That spot mirror's arm must have gotten tired! 😉

$4,500 for a never-installed cab, if I was restoring one I would buy it-you could spend way more than that if you have a lot of body work to do. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/835051442310596/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_general&referral_story_type=general_listing&tracking={"qid"%3A"-8053886865558366696"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"813946280765462546"%2C"top_level_post_id"%3A"813946280765462546"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A813946280765462546%2C\"target_type\"%3A6%2C\"primary_position\"%3A0%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A6249915114851388489%2C\"ranking_request_id\"%3A4074880805093781330%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A501%2C\"value\"%3A0.0006828717072615%2C\"upsell_type\"%3A129%2C\"candidate_retrieval_source_map\"%3A{\"25692671467000293\"%3A3122%2C\"25223123233984255\"%3A3001%2C\"25328643900104655\"%3A3565%2C\"24741818718820442\"%3A3547%2C\"24485818611105150\"%3A805%2C\"25017763827864449\"%3A3122}%2C\"grouping_info\"%3Anull}"}

My dad had 2 Astros in the early 70's, I always thought the low, sweeping dash and tilt wheel was nice. They had tall windshields which made the driver's view really good.

I hope someone saves that cab--it would be cool to find out it's one of the turbine trucks.

Here's some info from a guy on here named fifth wheel, looks like it's been a few years since he was on the site. LT- Just about an all steel truck, early production units had a different front rear spring hangars and frame arrangment in that area compared to the later units. 1947-53, production 415 units, all 3 axle (sw's) LTL Same as the later LT's with a lot of aluminum components, (engine mounts,front spring brackets,belly band,frt.cab mounts,radiator support cross members, steps and battery boxes,steering column,trunnion support,wheel hubs,brake spiders,brake shoes,air tanks,axle stops, auxilary trans case, and wheels.) 1950-56, production 1216 units 3 axle 130 units 2 axle (designated LTLT) LTH Same as LTL except some or most of the structural suspension parts were replaced with steel (spring hangars,trunion supports, and brake brake spiders) 1953-56 production 248 units, all 3 axle (sw's) Total production 2009 units All models have aluminum hoods and radiator support sides.

You could try soaking the pedal and the spool under it with PBlaster or Kroil and see if it frees up. I had my treadle valve (foot brake) rebuilt by Precision Rebuilders ( https://precisionrebuilders.com/ ) for $200.

Very interesting looking vehicle, and those LeTourneau trains are some incredible machines.

I'm glad to see you're using tube-type tires, do folks in Ireland still run a lot of those? They're pretty rare here in the US.

Those taillight boxes look great! I like the air start, all my neighbors know when I start my truck.

Actually haven't moved yet, we're getting a new house built and it's taking forever.

A guy here in Ohio put money down on both of them, he's supposed to pick them up this month.

That LTL with the polished sleeper is a fine looking truck.

It's Oct. 18th, 9 am to 2 pm. https://www.macktruckshistoricalmuseum.org/

If you have an old style battery terminal remover that works well on the acorn nut type arm.

Can you pull the brass insert out? I wonder if the tach gear in the fuel pump drive is stripped.
