I am looking at three Superliners all have E9’s. 
The two 88’s that were ordered together have 450’s. 
The 90 has a 500. 
Can anyone tell me when the Bosch inline pump replaced the Ambac V pump ?  
The guy that has them thinks they are all inline pumps. I believe the 90 could but unsure about the 88’s. I have read some blogs stating that the inlines found their way into some 88’s & 89’s but unsure. Waiting for definitive pics to see if in fact they are inline and if so could they be factory or converted. 
 

Thank you 

The 88's are definitely V Pumps. The 90 is also with a rare chance of an inline. A photo of the engine will tell all.

The inline pumps started to be used in late 90 and the total change over was in 91. The Superliners was gone in 92 and a few of them had the inline. I don't know of but a few conversions to the inline pump over the years.

My Sperliner had a whole E9 transplant out of a 93 CL Elite that had the inline pump already. It is a better pump for big HP but there is nothing wrong with a V pump in every other application. The V has 11mm plungers and is good for around 750hp. The inline about 1000hp with standard 12mm plungers. With 13mm plungers the inline is good for 1500hp.

I don't know that I would pass on an E9 in a nice truck with ether style pump. If you want it stock at 450-500hp ether will work great and plenty of power. To convert from one pump to another is not that EZ.  Either way you have to have custom lines and brackets made as they are discontinues a long time ago.

Is that the power steering reservoir above the rocker cover

Are we sure it isn't leaking oil out of that and it's run all over the rocker cover and exhaust manifold, then onto the chassis rail, just following the trail of evidence from the top of the mess downwards

It should be the Powers steering reservoir that is making all the mess. They leak even on a good day and all the time. The manifolds are rusted so there is no oil just running on them not when this E9 is running. There would be no oil remaining like that after a good days run. Good thing is the manifold seal is more than likely good with that nightly oil covering it.

Can't tell what you got until it is running anyway but can speculate here. The big issue with these is breather blow-by and valve guides not oil leaks.

If you are looking for a complete E9 I got a whole MH with less that 100K miles and sitting for 20 years. Sell it for less than you are talking for just an engine.

Hi are you still selling these?

thanks

Hi,

You can email me: jeff.caron@aol.com Let me know what you need.

Got them all as shown, these are really nice!

I did not expect to ship to Australia so shipping cost will be whatever it is with your preferred method.

eBay, Like $10 with free shipping. All you should need is the primer. It is leaking air so loosing the prime.

I did not have a Deere track loader but... Had a Cat 931B track loader with that same pin on Deere backhoe. Used it a lot for building my house, barn and maintaining the 18 acres of woods I had for years. I could not give it away about 5 years ago. Actually Sold for $2000 made me Sick but went for Scrap price. It looked good and did not need even paint. There was Noting wrong with it but age. It did not have ROPS and that was a issue. It had a 4&1 bucket as well. Rebuild tracks, new shoes, new sprockets, new oversized hinged lower mouth bucket, Engine with 250 hours, drive clutches, brakes. Hoe needed bushings but dug anything I wanted. Only used about 4 gallon of fuel and hour. Always started and ran well even when it was close to freezing. You do not want to drive a track loader on frozen ground or snow!!

It was the perfect machine for anything around the property. With that 4&1 hauling firewood & taking out tree stumps was a piece of cake. You can hook a log splitter up to the hydraulic hoe lines and just leave the engine idle and split anything. Could really carry about 2 1/2 tons in the extended bucket with the hoe on the back, needed the counter balance weight. Open the bucket and push like a Dozer. If I still had property it would be the machine to have.

These older machines are not hard to work on just heavy parts and big wenches. Cat charges $$$ for parts but only thing I sent out was the engine block to get bored and line honed when it was rebuilt. 

Weight came up here The 931B with hoe was 22,000lbs. The Deere should be no more than 16-17,000. You should be able to haul this on a 20,000 tilt bed equipment trailer. Think the hoe pins are 1 1/2" Dia. Just get round bare stock and drill the ends for carter or spring pins.

That certainly looks like it is Bi-metal with a large radius. It maybe a piece off a well worn crankshaft thrust bearing. The rear side bearing does wear especially with a stiff clutch and being held down for extended periods of time. This could be the outer lip that is generated as the crank wears into the bearing. Crank walk and adjusting the clutch would be a sign of this.

Thanks!  I'm talking to him on FB too...hopefully someone has a good sample so we can get these back on the shelves!

You both know that Mike passed away, Right?

Sorry to let the administrator & moderator of this forum know of Passed events.

The emblems are as accurate as can be. The bottom emblems are the originals. Take a look at the pins compared to the top 4 emblems, they are the same spacing even with the taper to start the kwik-nuts, they are a direct fit.

I have original emblems with the pins broken off, one of the reasons for making these. 3M high bond tape works great if the pins are missing, cut-off or drilling is an issue. I have mounted emblems with 3M tape for years. All newer car emblems are mounted with the 3M high bond material.

They look great are the post's in the same place or will we need to redrill to fit thanks for this labor of love it's been a struggle and we appreciate it 

Only place I know of is Frances Engineering in Painesville Ohio.

I got a set a few years back from there. He certainly has more.

Google it to get the phone number. Talk to Dale.

Im just curiuos??  does it really make a difference if it's an E-9 instead  a 6 cylinder, since it is gear driven and not counting electric pulses from a distributer in a gas engine?  I ask because I would expect this to be easy to replace..  jojo

A mechanical tach can be used on any size engine or cylinder count. They all rotate at a standard RPM rate so any tach will read the same.

On an E9 the V-pump is mechanical with the tach drive on the front of the auxiliary drive housing inline with the injector pump. The inline pumps are electronic tach's with the pickup on the flywheel. 

A solution is adding a sensor and pickup on the harmonic balancer and go with a new electronic tach.

We are in current production doing a replica of the Mack R/RD/RW/DM series interior(headliner, back panel, door panels) Can do all different colors: Pictured is black, black, dark tan, and opal gray. I have found a supplier for an almost identical Mack gray, that I will have in about 6-8 weeks. 
Soon we will also have the overhead consoles. Some may have seen this on facebook, but just thought I would share it with everyone here. 

 

 

 

Nice to see that replica interiors will be available.

Put me down for a black kit provided that the stitching is the double 3/8 width with corner radius as the original heat set vinyl with proper chrome door trim. Normally the head liner has the fine holes and not solid, is that part of the production kits? I was looking at doing kits but COVID killed that and production equipment was sold.

That engine was easy to twist the crank line bore out of aligment when getting more power than factory.

Yes, as I said "tweaking" causes issues! Junk that engine at that point. It is a lot harder to do that to an E9 but plenty of those got junked from turning them up to far. Ever seen one pop head bolts? Not hard to do.

I bought a set of gold side dogs; I'm familiar with the ones that have a "dull" or "brushed" gold finish but these are very glossy, almost look gold-plated. Does anyone know what they used these for?

 

 

Been looking for a set like that, are there more available? I'll swap for a NOS pair of the brushed finish dogs I got.

I don't know the actual use for shiny ones but I want them for on a set of mirrors but if not available the brushed one will do.

Just make that hood red and put the damn thing back together. You’ve dragged this out long enough!!!!  Macungie is only 2 months away. 

Boy Oh Boy, Todays youth are so inpatient! Maybe Old men I don't know your age, for sure an incredible undertaking. Think Matt has been working on this for 4 years?? Oh crap it is looking like 7 years maybe actual time start to finish, wow time flies.

Took me 1995-2013 to get mine done, that is only 18 years, You can't rush Perfection, Matt is doing Fine 👍

I want to see it completed before... you know I die as well... but it will be the best NEW, OLD, B Model in the country if not the World!!!!

Love Macungie, Don't think I will make it this year with Biden... I mean fuel prices... It would be over $5,000 round trip in the Superliner with trailer and other two on deck. All in about $7,500 for the trip, LOL.

Think is going to take a LOT MORE than a couple of dollars just to get it running again. That old girl has been rode hard.

Price reflects what you get    Bones with hardly any meat left hanging on.

Does have a wounded E9 with P7100 inline pump that is probably the most valuable thing there as a core engine.

Hope it stays away from any boat ride!!

I was on the lookout for Replacement steering wheels a while back, like 10 years ago. I did get a new Black one from Charmers back then, it was the smaller diameter wheel so I had a little more room for the Belly in a B cab.

I don't know if this wheel will have the correct spline but it certainly is worth a call to ask. I have posted this website before, prices and availability seem OK. Looks like they have both large and small diameter.
