  1. That's the same truck from out west in WA. A friend got it from Dennis and I got it for a "song and a dance". I believe Dennis got it around the beginning of the year. Truck runs and drive good. He is the one that told me they made a Jake for it, but I wasn't sure. Time to look for spare motors for parts. He believe only 456 B755's were made. I wonder how many are still around. This one is naturally aspirated but Dennis said they came also with a single turbo and a twin turbo also. Any truth to that?

  2. It's normal for that PTO but if you need it to run in neutral than you need a Mack PTO that bolts up to the back of the trans. The shaft runs through the bottom and into the front of the trans. Runs all the time except when you push the clutch in but only runs one speed.

  3. The reason you shouldn't use low in any gear but first is the speed the shafts turn. When it's in low, there is a bearing the low shaft uses that is NOT designed to spin at higher rpm's. When you use it in higher gears, there is a good chance of knocking the bearing out. It will shift in any gear, but that does not mean you should use it.

  4. 1960 B422S, changed over to diesel in the early 70's, twin stick 10 sp, LOW miles, shows 89,000, power steering, double frame in good condition,44 rears, started to mount fifth wheel and lift axle but did not finish.

    1961 B613LST, diesel, quad box, triple frame in average condition, power steering, sheet metal rough, 58 rears, 24" rubber.

    Both trucks ran when parted about 6 years ago, but batteries and cables got stolen. Clear titles, $8,000 for both. PM for more pictures if interested

    Lowered price to $6,000.00. Put batteries in the B422 and it fired right up, drove it around on the lot for about 20 minutes and it ran good.

  5. mike made it home ok the eng never moved cc

    Good to hear

    what would you want for the pri. sec. air tanks, one set of air tank straps, and the plastic spacers if you will sell one fuel tank and steps I could be interested in that too. I see leversole asked first so if he doesn't need both ............ any way pm me if interested.

    I will check the air tanks and straps out to see what shape they are in and I am keeping the fuel tanks for now.
  6. I worked my 2000 etech 400 with a stock 427 turbo, superflow injectors. They told me those injectors and turbo would give me around 490, and I believe them. This truck has no problems on hills, water temp hits 210 on hard pulls. I out pull a friend with a 525 cat on hills. Stock cam, no computer work done. If your worried about the miles, drop the pan and do at least rods and mains. Running a 8LL, but only grossing 73,280.

  7. Yesterday, July 21st 2015, Mr. Bill Johnson tendered his resignation as Executive Director. No information is available as to why.

    ATHS will now be looking for a person well versed in the operation of a non profit orginazition.

    I'm assuming (and I don't like "ass"uming) that you mean 2014 and not next year 2015?
  8. It is still in the truck but not for long. Just pulled the cab off and the trans out, not sure about running it without the trans to hold it. I will post pictures soon and I have a video of it running I will try to post.
