air shift pto
gearhead204 replied to pmolitor's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
the t1070 used a small air slave cylinder about 1 1/2 x 4 if memory serves me and a air switch similar to a power divider sw.had a93 rd 688 with this set up. you would just have to match the throw of the cyl. to the cable or linkage arm and drill a hole in the arm and fab a bracket to anchor it to. -

love my t1070 5 speeds in reverse are the ticket. Never figured out what the hell an 8ll was good for, a 15 speed I thought was a better option. love seeing the faces of other drivers when you grab 4 or 5 speeds in reverse don't recommend using 5th. with a pull trailer !!!!

Understanding Spec Sheet!
gearhead204 replied to MightyFruit Trucking's topic in Driveline and Suspension
well i'm going to get in trouble now and not agree with other comments.with a name of mighty fruit trucking i'll guess you haul fruit if that's so I would not get the camel back suspension, as another fruit hauler i'd go neway long travel air ride it does very well off and on road. I'm not for certain on the fuel tanks but I believe what they are saying that you could get a single 66 gal or dual 66gal.fuel tank with or with out balance line shut of valves or as above but 88.gal.option. and not extend beyond rear of cab. I'd go for the isolation valve option if using dual tank set up -

the compressor unloader may be sticking or freezing in the unload position . check by removing discharge line and then check for air flow after start up -
got my own superliner
gearhead204 replied to whitegold's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
my choice is find a bone yard of old macks, most large contractors keep their wrecks around for parts and can be easer to deal with than wrecking yards. depending on area of country the exhost pipes will still be good because they were chrome and I believe the muffler bracket is bi directional. same for the gauges look for damaged cab a new pyro from mack is $300.00 I bet you can get most all your parts for that, and they will enjoy the beer $$$. congrats on the dog -
that will be next

I just did mu superliner in august 24 to 12 was fairly easy needed a 12v starter and volt meter had borrowed a shop book from the construction co. that I used to work for and it had all mack elec. combomations listed on one schematic, if you can get to a dealer you should be able to copy what you need. -
