AZB755V8

Go to "Waking up the E9" post you can see how it was done on my Superliner. I don't think any brackets were moved or made. They sure help it breathe!!

It depends on the state for age, I've lived in AZ and OH both have the 25 years and older historic plate, it is the copper state, plate is actually made of copper. The only way to get a historic plate on a class 8 truck in AZ is no weight. It can not be loaded in any way or hooked to a non historic trailer. Laws in AZ have changed in the last 20 years on this. I have historic plates on the 88 Superliner and want to take the trailer with other two on deck to shows. Can't do it without weight sticker on a commercial plate on tractor, that is state laws. Have weight on registration also for federal laws for state to state passage. Have regular plates on the 53 with no weight. $190 for 5 years with no restrictions except to hook and haul. Regular and weight on the 65 to hook and haul empty trailer. The Hagerty insurance truck age is not published but it is there. I almost dropped them over it, their main business is old cars and I have a few.

Yes I did, That is one of the two that I got. The other one was in the other building with all the parts. Super guy, How many MH's did he have? I counted 6 that were still there. I missed the last spare E9 engine by a month. It was still there waiting on pick up. It was purchased by the crane guy that has that red double steer Superliner up there as a spare for it. It is a super nice truck heard he was thinking about replacing it just because of age. Changed his mind when the bid came in on a new crane and got a few spare parts for it, best of all this one is paid for.

Had to get an MH to match the Superliner I got from you several years ago. I almost got as good a deal on this MH as you did. I can make this into a real nice truck only a few years out though. Got a few projects already in the works.

Just got back from Canada and very happy. I closed a deal on 2 complete E9-500 MH's both run when parked, air ride 3.86 and 4.17, a spare complete E9-500 and a ton of MH parts. New exhaust in boxes. Good bumpers, grills, glass, visors, perfect tanks, no rail spread. Mack 18 in one, 12 spd in other and 13 Fuller on spare engine. Super nice guy had them for 10-12 years and did not have time or money to complete one. There was another MH E9 and spare engine that was not for sale. He has to sell off his stuff because the farm is going up for sale next year. Property taxes are killing him. Didn't really want all the stuff but it was a great deal that I could not pass by. From what he said there are a lot of E9 MH's up there by Vancouver because of the length laws and need for big power years ago. Thought I was done with the old dog rescue with the last one but am saving a lease one more. The dog house is almost full. I was so into looking at everything I did not take one photo. Is there more MH guys out there? They kind of grow on you.

I have Hagerty for all my plus 25 year old stuff. Only thing is they do not want to do 35 years and newer class 8 trucks. The reason is that some 30 year old trucks are still out there making money. I had a little problem with my 88 Superliner (28 years old) but they did it once I told said I was dropping them and my other 8 vehicles coverage. You do need to have the truck under cover and preferable in a garage. NO money or any compensation, even a cup of coffee, for hauling ANYTHING. Also if you show the truck at a pay to view event (ATHS show) coverage is in question even if you do not get a dime. The trailer is a different story it is a 2014 so no Hagerty. It is insured with Travelers but only for theft and damage, no liability on trailer, it is all on the power unit. Same deal on the other trailers I have, they can't run into something without the tractor connected to it.

I tried to send an email offer to the hrlucky52@yahoo.com account and it bounced back. Stated you have no account at Yahoo. PM. me back here with your number or other email. I sent you a PM on the pump.

I don't have an extra one but TIG welding the one you have should not be a problem make sure it is clean and use Acetone to clean the oil out of the crack before welding. CLEAN is everything in welding aluminum.

Thought all Magnum's were 1985's. Also wasn't 1985 the first year for the E9-500?

I am interested in a truck and spare engine that is in Canada for a personal restoration project. In talking to a few Canadian that are here in AZ for the winter it is not as easy as it used to be. One of these guys normally brings down a few cars to sell at the AZ auctions that just ended. Only this year was turned back at the border because the cars need to be impounded for 30 days to check VIN, EPA and DOT certifications. I understand the rules changed January 2016. What do you guys know about importing from Canada? Does the vehicle need to set at the border in impound for 30 days? What about an engine does it need to set there as well?

I have seen it several times before on Ebay. There is a boat load of money in it and it is really nice. Hope he gets his price, it can only help raise the prices on these old trucks to what it cost to restore them. I do my trucks for preserving history and not for getting my money back, I never will, can't take anything with me in the end anyway.

That is a nice twin bag system.. Beat it rides beautifully, has great rebound and is hard to ware out. And best will never be improved upon.

Good luck finding them. Had to weld and machine one of the two I have. Traded the last pin and clevis, about a year ago, that I had and it was really bent up. I'm still looking too.

Shane Think you are posting in the wrong section. If you are selling the parts they need a price.

It's just for the cool look all of you!! It doesn't matter if the car is front wheel drive, it's the thought that counts. Prius owners aren't really that educated or know anything about the thing they drive. The owners manual is use to take up glove compartment space ONLY. If instruction do not come up on the in car screen display they don't exist!! No instruction for tire chains.. hope GPS works better...

Thought that was a test run for the Mack submarine program that got shelved with VOLVO..... A Mack will go anywhere!!!

You did get what I was saying. Copper and split rims are not the norm and it does take extra care to maintain these components. Nothing wrong with them other than not many places will work on copper lines or split rims out this side of the country. If a shop will it is extra money or they rather refer another shop. No shop will work on my aluminum split rims on my LT. No shops ether with a pump stand to work on a modified mechanical pump here ether, had to send mine back to Ohio.

You can get DOT copper but it is $$. If you were doing a static display or a trailered show queen the use of non approved lines may get you by but consider the liability if something happens. A DOT inspection may flag you as well. I have a restored B that I wanted to drive so I went with plastic and tubeless tires. Most guys understand things like safety first. Copper and split rims are original but how many guys are still really using split rims these days too.

The LT was designed for the west coat with longer WB for the times to take advantage of weight laws at the time. The use of aluminum was a 2000 lbs. savings for on the road units. All the off road and loggers did not use the aluminum components. The quality of casting back then was poor and they broke. Consider that there were only 2001 LT's built in approx. 12 years it was not a high production unit to start with compared to over 9,200 of the B70 series over a 12 year time period. The B was out on the west coast and did interstate duty it was the replacement for the LT. A L cab was an option until the end of production in 1966. There are B70's in California, Oregon,Washington. Lots of B70's in Texas too. That did short run and vocational work as well. I have a west coast B and I am asked why so long, I don't remember them being that long, it was the Cal, law's then. Remember Mack was an East coast manufacture so there are far more of them the closer you get to the the east coast. Pete and KW plant where more central in the country and easer to distribute units and parts. It comes down to a geographical thing and time. Mack never was known as the over the road truck to have. More cement, dirt and gravel has been delivered by Mack's than anyone. Pretty sells, Pete & KW had that figured out long before Hayward. Hayward was the attempt to get more placement out West and it was to little to late even with the Superliner as the flagship.

What R is it? Looks like a smaller engine one because of the shutter size. Every different R variation started with 1001. It is a piece of history but what one is it? My brother had the 1967, R719-1003 not the first but was close. It will never look like that R though, Very nice!! Great job and a lot of work.

Man that stinks, missed it by and hour. Thanks for the info but just sat down at the computer and went right to Ebay, it was gone. Anyone here get it? I got the clamp on tester that reads RPM and Timing. It should be fine but I would have bought it just to double check. I'll keep looking.

Ya saw that Superliner Toterhome in the back ground. Love to have that! The Liberty is really nice too! Great job on that.

Think it is mandatory to have the stainless flex line off the air compressor these days. As for the original look that is what it I did. Use plastic DOT tubing and covered it with cloth sheathing, covering. It is the same covering used on the trucks copper lines originally. The plastic is easier to work with and you can't really tell when it is covered.

You need to use DOT plastic tubing. You can not use "regular" copper tubing. The old stuff was DOT approved copper and is very expensive if you can find it today. It is a liability issue so only use DOT labeled plastic tubing and fittings. If there would be an accident you may not have insurance coverage using non approved lines. Maybe someone else can comment but I woulds not reuse old copper that would need to be re-bent ether, work harding and corrosion maybe an issue.

Photo's or it does not exist!!!
