I was back up there and snapped a couple of engine photos.

To find my wheel seals, I went online and you can look at an SKF (CR) wheel seal catalog, they have dimensions in there so you can measure your old seal and match it up. Once you get the SKF number you can cross it over to whatever brand you want.

Wikipedia says, "In 1940 the US Army ordered 700 Mack 4 x 4 truck tractors, intended to tow pontoon-carrying semi-trailers. 694 were delivered in 1941 and the last 6 in 1942. An Autocar design was standardized by the US Army and only 700 NJUs were built." Since this is a '41, it could be ex-WWII Army truck.

Something you don't see every day. It's in Taylorsville KY, asking $5,500.

Price?    terry  also that is no 285, it is a 237 .

 

Can you tell because there's no tip turbine?

I'm with Joey...make sure both the air side and inside of the radiator are clean. He's got some good ideas about the water pump, tstat, etc.

That neon on the back is pretty cool.

I'm with mechohaulic...try a good battery. Clean up the contacts on the rotors and caps; if you have spark from the coil and good condenser then old cap/rotor will work.

On mine (1959), you turn it counterclockwise about an inch and then lift up. It ain't easy to do, sometimes you have to get creative.

That truck is really going to look sharp when you get the rest together.

It's been said on BMT that Mack bought so many gallons (prolly in drums) of green paint and if a guy didn't mix it as well as another guy, that would affect the color. Back then everything was done by hand so there would have to be some difference between trucks in how much paint the guy sprayed.

This place has LED headlights for vintage vehicles that look more like original.

Maybe they were pulling the car backwards and the nuts all backed clear off. 😉

For a truck to go 50 years on Aussie roads, that's pretty good!

This guy has a bunch of parts manuals, his prices are pretty good. B, F, H models etc.

I'm sure glad you saved that C model, too many trucks rust away sitting in the weeds.

On mine it's stamped into the frame rail, on the RHS near the front axle rear spring hanger.

H-model windscreens are not interchengeable with a L-model. They are but with an integral sleeper L cab.

You're right, aren't the windshields shorter on the L model?

Finally got a few hours today to install the window frames and windshields . 

 

Did you buy new glass? I'll be buying new for mine soon if anyone has recommendations.

Those twin steer units are some big dudes!
