Chicago R models
Lmackattack replied to Lmackattack's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
That was the first truck I ever drove solo in the seat. 15 years old running down I-55 with the driver sitting shot gun and showing me the ropes.... .. Think it's a RS700L had a 285 with a 6 speed...think it also had the hood scoop on it? -

I still shake my head why Mack won't offer a deeper cab? Pete,kw,Volvo,everyone seems to have plenty of room yet the Mack cab still suffers....I sat inside a 2013 Pete with the rear wall panel extension. Besides the goofy look of that extension( it can be well hidden with dual stack set ups) you can fit so much stuff behind you and still get the seat back into a more relaxed position. No need to have it jammed up against the rear wall....just adjust it how ever you like and drive...what a concept! And for the record I don't sit on the floor boards and have my legs all stretched out. But when I want to stretch my legs I should have the room.....

Adding hydraulic lines for detach trailer
Lmackattack replied to Deere Mack's topic in Engine and Transmission
if his truck is already set up with a single line Kit I would drain the oil in your wet tank, remove tank and have a bung welded on it to accept a return line to it. the return line will run from your deck plate trailer connection back to the welded bung on the tank. I prefer this route because it lets the oil flow better and keeps it cool. I never liked running the return right back to the pump just because of heat reason if the pto was left in when loading a machine or something and forgetting to turn it off. just my .02 -

White Diamond Polish
Lmackattack replied to farmer52's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
I use it and think it does a good job. It does not have that hard to remove haze like many do. Just apply, rub in and wipe away, I use it with my electric buffer as well.... -

That sucks. Why did you guys cut across lawndale between 47th and archer?... .I left Chicago southbound on 55. Soon as i got on i found heavy traffic with a wreck at western. This was around 1pm so I jumped off and ran south west on archer,to 47th west, to Pulaski north, and got back on 55 south. Archer was all backed up as well...didn't save me any.. -

1977 RS685LT Questions
Lmackattack replied to 1951 Mack LJ's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
If they removed the anti tamper bolts on the govener they likely turned it up. All it takes is a few simple adjustments of the rack stops to get it turned up...if it has a boost gauge you can see what it's pushing and may give a clue. -
1977 RS685LT Questions
Lmackattack replied to 1951 Mack LJ's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
It will be a west coast " tall hood" R model later known as a valuliner here in the USA. A 685 should be a 237 maxidyne a 686 would be a 285 tip turbine. Look at the engine. If no side mount charge cooler or front mount intercooler is present, it will likely be a 237. -
