  1. I had my 673 pump rebuilt at Purrformance Diesel in Fredericktown, they charged $1,100 which included several new parts. They are very particular, seemed like they wanted to make sure it was right.
  2. Jack one rear wheel up and spin one revolution, count how many times the driveshaft spins and divide by two (such as 9 driveshaft revs would be a 4.50 diff ratio).
  3. It's too bad you're in CA, we have a couple of shops in Ohio that still rebuild those pumps.
  4. Only one thing better than a yard with a Mack in it...a yard with two Macks in it!
  5. If the cab has lots of rust and the engine won't run, you're really looking at scrap price. That probably weighs 10,000 lbs so multiply that by metal price in your area. You could bump it up higher and see if you get any bites.
  6. Mine had years of goop in the bottom when I bought the truck. I put some mineral spirits in it and let it sit, then drained it out...worked pretty good. Less harsh than acetone.
  7. You could order custom colors. Are there any chips where you can see under that layer of paint?
  8. Sounds like his problem was a relay valve, that would be my thought if a truck was acting like this.
  9. Amen, thanks to guys like you standing in the gap, most Americans don't realize how fortunate we are to have an excellent military to keep things peaceful on our soil. I firmly believe that if we hadn't taken it to the terrorists in their country, we would have had more trouble in ours.
  10. They always play a lot of radio chatter on Heavy Rescue 401, maybe it's 2 way radios or maybe CBs are more popular in Canada, eh?
  11. My Brockway has a 335, I want to change the oil and filter before I try to start it. Does anyone know the part numbers for the filter and gasket? My understanding is the filter is inside this housing:
  12. I used my steam cleaner to blast the paint off some of the interior panels today, worked great. The factory paint mostly stayed so I'll sand it and paint over it.
  13. In this month's Double Clutch, Matt Pfahl says he has 9 guys working in an 80' x 100' garage.
  14. Yes, and Ralph Smith trucks were well-maintained. I have one for parts (cab rusted out); I'm using the radiator, front axle, transmission, fifth wheel, and some small parts off of it. Good maintenance kept these parts in good shape.
  15. Yes, there's something very cool about seeing trucks that still wear their work clothes. It reminds me of how things used to be.
  16. Flat, smooth piece of metal or wood--cover up the air intake and it'll shut down.
  17. Here's the link: https://www.overdriveonline.com/page/2022-pp-voting I voted for you, there's also a B model competing in some of the other categories--I voted for him there.
  18. I found these photos on the interwebs, says this truck was hauling a 331,000 lb. press and the trailer failed. They weren't sure how they were going to move the thing out of the way. Nashville, Michigan Sep. 6th.
  19. You could check with the Mack Museum (610-351-8999); they have a lot of information. If they help, make sure you donate some money to the museum. You could also watch ebay; a lot of Mack manuals show up on there.
  20. I worked at a shoe company in the 80's and we were still running trailers with no maxis. We had a few roll away from the dock because the spotter got lazy and didn't chock the wheels (air leak = no brakes).
