My rivet setter fits in an air hammer; I flailed on that thing but it still wouldn't tighten it up. One problem is the other end is so skinny, it started to deform so I quit. I guess Mack had a special jig to hold it while they bucked the rivet.

You'll be able to see in there!! Looking good.

I'm trying to put my front axle together; as you can see the shoe anchor pins are loose in their holes (and one fell out). I tried to curl the hollow point rivet ends to tighten them up, but they are really hard. Does anybody know where I can get replacements or a good way to replace these?

Sometimes modern technology is stupid...seems like if you hold the phone one way, the pictures should always come out that way. I guess some high-tech wizards have a different idea.

Price seems reasonable. https://dayton.craigslist.org/grd/d/greenville-mack-grain-truck/7008447435.html

Looks like a nice truck. https://limaohio.craigslist.org/hvo/d/lima-1995-mack-cl-713/7009047720.html

It's a...um....is there a car in that picture?

They have a simulator, one of the modern conventionals (GU?). Nicola Bulgari is a benefactor of the museum; he has 7 warehouses in Allentown with 125 cars in them. Some of his cars are on display at the museum.

We were in Allentown on Friday, unfortunately we couldn't stay for Trucktoberfest and the Mack museum was closed on Friday. We went to the America on Wheels museum; they have some really nice Macks and Mack memorabilia. They have a lot of cars and motorcycles...I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area. The placard for this F model said it has around 2 million miles on it. Really nice B model: Exceptionally nice B model: Maxidyne! The certificate for this gold-plated First Gear model says it's one of only 4 made. We also went to the Merchants Square model railway exhibit. They say they have 18,000 feet of track...you can't count how many motorized carnival rides, cars, etc. there are. There's a movie playing on the drive-in screen and skiers going down a slope. They even have lightning, thunder, and rain!

We never did figure out what that flat exhaust tip is for on the yellow West Chester fire truck from October 9th.

Thumbs up for Hank Jr., but no so for Kid Rock.

So it's got 9 good tires on it?

I think he's living a comfortable retirement...he sang on the tribute show for Johnny Cash after Johnny passed. Every time Kawliga or Family Tradition comes on the radio, I have to crank it up.

Great photos! That red tandem B sure has a strange-looking cab on it.

This looks almost like a new truck...someone did a fantastic restoration on it. The engine looks kinda close to Alpine Green, though... https://www.ebay.com/itm/mack-r600/133201181336?hash=item1f0368ba98:g:OsUAAOSw3DpdokU3

We were coming thru Canterbury CT on vacation and the Google said "Haul of Fame Museum" so I pulled into the lot. No one was around and the last I heard the museum is closed so I took some photos of what was parked outside. It's a shame to see the weeds and rust taking over some of these trucks.

If you go on ebay and search for "Mack horn button" these plates come up a lot--you may have to keep checking for a few weeks but they show up regularly.

The poor guy's driving a Shaker and you just pick on him! Tsk tsk. Michael, have you checked for power at the light bulb sockets? If you don't have any front or rear lights your turn signal switch could be bad.

It looks like it's been well taken care of. So many trucks this age are parked in the weeds with mouse nests everywhere.

Of course, Tyrone Malone's classic with wide whites.

Jerry and his group are a great bunch of guys...looks like a nice show!

The flange where the carrier sits on the housing is welded into the housing...I guess it's steel so the threads are strong enough, but the housing is cast iron. The factory didn't get a good weld in one spot so it was leaking gear lube through the missed weld.

Also spray some WD40 or better lube on the jaws before trying the above methods.

I've been trying to get someone to do some welding on my rails and one axle housing, finally got someone to say bring them in. It sure is a slow process to get all the different things taken care of before I can begin reassembly.
