h67st

I need to hire those guys...I've had an H67 for sale at $1,500 and it's in better shape than that one. No buyers yet.

If those old steers are cracked, I would definitely go with 22.5.

Mack 400 red crosses over to Axalta 77968 (they can also mix Nason to this number). PPG code is 70094.

You can't pull the pump with the radiator in? On my H model you can. Some trucks you can unbolt the fan shroud (if you have one) and lay it back on the front of the engine which makes it easier to pull the fan/pump.

In the old days of trailers using air pressure to hold the single-stage chambers as a parking brake, when we would hook to a trailer with no air and charge the parking gladhand, the parking brake would set momentarily until the trailer tank got enough air in it. A lot of our drivers almost got into trouble thinking that they would stay set but then they released. My dad had some old trucks in the early 70's, he had his mechanic convert them to spring brakes but there was a steep learning curve after that. Me and my dad stopped at a truck stop in 1975 somewhere around Kentucky that had a steep parking lot; we got out and headed up the hill to get lunch. When we got to the building, there was this old guy sweeping the drive and he said, "Mister, your truck's rolling away". My dad ran after it but the trailer jackknifed and thankfully the landing gear leg hit the fuel tank so the cab didn't get smashed. After that my dad made sure to set both buttons when he got out!

I've heard other Macks with that chop. My H model will do that and I have to let up/push down to smooth it out, but that doesn't always get rid of it. I wish I had an answer for you.

If you're just going to bobtail or run light, you can install 2024 chambers on a lot of these old trucks. My H model has the SWDL56 (IIRC) rear bogie; it used to have rotochambers next to the frame rail: I "clocked" them one bolt hole to get the chambers below the frame rail. The chambers are very close to the rims because I have 10:00-20 tires; if you are running 22.5 or if you have 22" hubs then this won't be an issue.

"made a but couple"? I'm not going to ask.

This one's in really tough shape. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2274492759576675/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_general&referral_story_type=general&tracking={"qid"%3A"-1704971652378521177"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"6020838158107090201"%2C"top_level_post_id"%3A"6020838158107090201"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A6020838158107090201%2C\"target_type\"%3A6%2C\"primary_position\"%3A13%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A4756302300322658839%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A501%2C\"value\"%3A0.0001567341327757%2C\"upsell_type\"%3A3523%2C\"candidate_retrieval_source_map\"%3A{\"7210349879000622\"%3A701%2C\"8129131950512790\"%3A701}%2C\"grouping_info\"%3Anull}"%2C"lightning_feed_qid"%3A"-1704986495847326254"%2C"lightning_feed_ranking_signature"%3A"4756302300322658839"}

That's a straight-looking truck, and looks like it's all there. Really sunk in the ground!

This looks like a pretty nice truck. That bed looks custom made...nice work! https://www.ebay.com/itm/126554516892?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m5057.l9429&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=7a7158e49feb41eb9207c721fe372ac5&bu=43215750242&ut=RU&osub=-1~1&crd=20240701053335&segname=11021

Faceplant Markemup! I love it! It says Patches on the bumper; I guess that means you'll need some for the rust.

I pulled the front wheels to look over the brakes and hub; needs some new stuff. I only found one place that had new shoes (https://www.truckandtrailer.parts/) so I ordered them, unfortunately they were unlined. I called the shop here in Columbus that relined my Mack shoes; they quit doing that. I went online and found Brake Materials and Parts in Ft. Wayne Indiana; I handed them to UPS on Friday and got them back on Tuesday. Does anyone know why they ever made wedge brakes? This photo doesn't include 2 chambers, wedges, rollers, housings, and seals. S-cams are a heck of a lot simpler, and if I had to replace much hardware these would get expensive real fast.

You've got a 1693 in that IH? I don't know if I've ever seen one a those.

Cab looks to be pretty solid, has an E6-350. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/823941403032480/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_general&referral_story_type=general&tracking={"qid"%3A"-1799600433170433517"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"1087828565745631468"%2C"top_level_post_id"%3A"1087828565745631468"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A1087828565745631468%2C\"target_type\"%3A6%2C\"primary_position\"%3A40%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A7251196637122624354%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A501%2C\"value\"%3A0.00015123330057553%2C\"upsell_type\"%3A129%2C\"candidate_retrieval_source_map\"%3A{\"25668210762793668\"%3A3001%2C\"7985911711494952\"%3A3021%2C\"26350327267884871\"%3A3050%2C\"8031292973572161\"%3A3001%2C\"8070394382985080\"%3A3001%2C\"7558234714295067\"%3A3007}%2C\"grouping_info\"%3Anull}"%2C"lightning_feed_qid"%3A"-1799819236271599135"%2C"lightning_feed_ranking_signature"%3A"7251196637122624354"}

Those twin stacks are neat--I'll bet the turbine can breath with them being so large.

Pretty nice looking truck...flathead gas motor. https://www.ebay.com/itm/276506954729?itmmeta=01J094PK6JBEMC5MG49W8Z2PJT&hash=item4061194be9:g:6VAAAOSwD51mak7N&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4LICd%2Bascm27EdSDX6f58UzJN1Mj0Hxl1GSFENh3oLYROA4y7yv2Bw05%2BENccIcFk0lknUvybKIsJQWOBGSoxkW%2BpKg08nsi9eVMZp%2Bv5vvuIaIKTNi6L6S6I7RWzFXauzB7RUyVD3pmvHEHNuPSWnIQ2aXlUFbyw25%2FYPqiJUk6pQo9Bw0nFRWRZazzNWhK%2BhG5kus9njNIOEnKmYbQQT545zZzsD85runlVkgxRi3zBe96YOw4LnyD7q4Q3QsXdsIe448CXcuBz1XugBpoIHzxqkgt3yG7xk%2Bp35Nxki31|tkp%3ABk9SR7Cz2qSCZA

I can't say I've ever seen a track hoe counterweight used as yard art! Nice video.

My next chore was tackling the fuel tanks and lines. The right tank is too rusted and bent to save, but the left tank had just one rust hole (and a lot of rust, debris, and goop inside). I drained it and steamed/washed it thoroughly. Even after it dried, it still had rust flakes and dirt inside (baffle made it hard to get all clean). So as I was welding the one rust hole, I notice smoke coming out from behind the data plate so I popped it off and found this. I'm a terrible welder but I figured I'd give it a go so I cut out a square hole and welded in a patch. One nice thing about cutting the hole was I could reach inside and finish cleaning the tank. I coated the inside with Kroil to see if it slows down the rust. I had to air up the tank and re-weld pinholes a couple dozen times but now it's air tight. I installed the tank and some new lines yesterday; it's really nice to be able to start the thing without using a can of fuel hanging on the truck.

Which side of the line was the Burger King? When I was there, the Nevada side had casinos and everything looked shiny and new but the Utah side looked pretty dismal.

About 9'-3" high, 16' long.

Looking at those photos is making me hungry!!

It's approx. 16' long and 9' high; I will measure when I get home tonight.

This is pretty cool! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1488414895084405/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post

I did a little internet search and the consensus seems to agree with you-less corrosion in a positive ground system due to the direction the electrons flow.
