    It looks good in the photos! Is it very rusty underneath?

    Don't force it, get a bigger hammer!

    Today I got the cab tilt bar off my donor truck. The bushings were still good, so I didn't want to destroy them. The issue was, they were seized to the bar. I tried soaking with PB and beating on the bar, no good. I tried my trusty H bar with bearing splitter, but it just didn't have enough umph (those things are SEIZED!). So I took some 5/8" grade 8 all-thread and some pieces of angle iron and made a puller. I used my 12 ton bottle jack and I really had to crank on the jack and beat the bar with a drift before they would pop loose.

    I left Cat in 1999, but at that time we could turn the key to "on" with engine off, and hold the cruise control switch in the "set" or "resume" position (I forget which) and the light would flash a number of times. Watch for the gap, such as 2 flashes, gap, 4 flashes, would be code 24. I don't know if this will work on a 2007 truck.

    This one's on ebay, says the truck is from Georgia so it may not be very rusty. It says B67, did they make B67's with the hard nose like that? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1963-B67-Mack/152888004860?hash=item2398d5d0fc:g:yxAAAOSwM91acUe8&vxp=mtr

    I feel for you on the parts stores. I live in central Ohio and we probably have 100 parts stores within a 30 minute radius from my house, I'm really spoiled when it comes to that. You have to know what you're looking for, most of the countermen don't know what's behind them.

    My health insurance bill is now about double what it was before Obamacare kicked in. Yay!

    That is a wild looking trailer.

    Here's one.

    The Cat Brakesaver was basically a hydraulic retarder; probably a similar design. It's like a torque convertor, but one of the pieces is stationary so it slows the engine/driveline.

    Bearing hub spacer thing
    Cool! Is that Stemco catalog online? I have a different axle, I'll have to look at it again but I think it's an FA511.

    That is hilarious! We had a fella named Ed Fitzgerald running for governor of Ohio in 2014; he got caught in some embarrassing maneuvers and his campaign went down. Unfortunate name in that situation.

    I don't think Swish has ever heard that one before.

    What is the purpose of the pin? Also, where did you get your seals?

    That water looks cold!!!

    That's a nice looking mixer. Why were they the most hated mixer?

    We had a new chiller delivered yesterday to replace our old AC units; I like the Mack that delivered the chiller.

    I never thought of that...sounds like a great idea!

    If it was doable, a V12 Superliner would be a very cool truck.

    That's a Clariben hood...aftermarket replacement.

    Good tip! Theirs have the correct star washer, and they're cheaper too.

    Which triplex is that? I bought the black tandem here in Columbus back in 1995, but it's too rusty to save. This green one came from Ed Pruss in Longmont CO; I bought it 10 years ago. I'll get the bodywork and paint done and put it on the tandem chassis.

    I pulled my donor cab off today, this makes the second H cab I've pulled in the last year. I'm bolting casters to the underside so I can roll it around the shop.
