    When wandering about the Mack Muster yesterday I found my mind wandering about and dreaming of a truck like this I would imagine it would be worth considerably more than the 6 grand offered if it was running and driving about I wonder if someone close go by can get it running without to much drama, a lot greater chance of it surviving off into the future if it runs and drives Paul

    Brocky I was stunned to observe that Brockway cab, although at first gland is a R model Mack cab, it really is very different The cowls different, the roof is different and the list of things I noticed different in a few minutes was quite a bit Sure is a good looking truck and thanks for the photo above Paul

    When I was visiting Tim and family in Connticuit there was a place maybe half a dozen houses up the street that had hundreds of tonka type of toys in a tree in the front yard, no idea why they were there,I asked Tim about it and he didn't seem to know either Good job Joey Yellow is always pretty hard to get to cover properly as is red Now to get it into the sand pit Paul

    I'm guessing, well over a 100 Macks The E9 tank motor sounded pretty good They, the company there, have a line of the motors, all less than 400 hours from the tanks They have a conversion kit to reposition the turbos so it fits into a Australian Superliner Would make quite a impressive truck, 750 hp under the bonnet Dunno how the Maxitorque box would handle the extra power, even with E9 turned up the 12 speed boxes struggled a bit on roadtrain work Paul

    My mate Mal painted my Mack He is a award winning spray painter, he is really good If you flew him and his wife to the States and put them up, I'm sure he would paint your truck Paul

    Bob your on the money I don't notice the shaft or uni joint at all, dunno what R models have in Yanky land Joey here is a very unexciting view of the steering box Paul here is our self rolled flanges to clamp onto the turbo and exhaust brake And the 5" down pipe that fitted in pieces but not once someone welded it together Paul

    Good result, hopefully that will be the end of your series parallel issues I guess thats why Mack Australia was all airstart into the 2000's Paul
  23. mrsmackpaul
    I would give it a crack but I doubt you would like my results Yeah Vlad, the world sure has gone a tad crazy in recent years, luckily we all have Mack trucks and good humour in common 🍻 Paul

    I wonder what connection between the ph level and cavitation in motors like Cummins and IH is I'm thinking it might be as simple less corrosion and more strength mainained longer on components I do wonder if "cavitation" is a generic term coined for this type of phenomenon in some motors and is it actually cavitation ? Paul

    The only place I ever heard of these been used in Australia was in the Hunter Valley coal region Very steep and windy roads Paul
