    Gotta love that reply wiserfrombud, all we ever read about are how crappy new trucks are, I dont have one as I dont have the use, however if it was my job, day in, day out I wouldn't hesitate in buying a new Mack So Mr Wiser from Bud, do you know what Budlight actually means ? https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=246805740254746 Hope the link works, gave me a chuckle Paul

    Last I recall he was building a hotted up wagon for the new bride and I seem to recall as HarryS has mentioned he was about to start moving We arent getting any younger and he may well just be flat out like a lizard drinking And as Hayseed has already mentioned, he was posting on a regular basis up until he stopped, we maybe just reading to much into this I hope all is well for him Paul

    Im not disputing the weight at all as I have never even seen one of these motors and most likely never would, I just imagined it would of been heavier given the era it was made, Macks were obviously fairly advanced even back then Learning new things every day, thank you Paul

    This is were I would start, but I have no idea at all on modern motors so I cant answer to any degree apart from what I would look for on older mechanical diesels Good luck and keep us updated on the issue Paul

    My Federal had a back drop manifold, well still does but it was a HB Cummins so the heads are different as it isnt a cross flow Anyway great work your doing Paul

    Im guessing this last one will keep the cab cooler but maybe need a heat shield for the starter motor, or maybe not. All quite impressive to me

    I think its either 5.85 or 5.65 is lowest ratio for these Rockwell took over Timkens qxle division and continued to make these but as a 6 rod I have been told that the centers are interchangeable, I have two center's to replace the 10.22s in my Federal I'll find out when I try to change them if they are Paul

    I guess a lot depends on what and wear you haul ? Paul

    Looking at the second photo it looks like your chassis has been joined so I very much doubt thats original Paul

    I think they fitted these to some western Macks, dunno about parts but I feel they arent that common and certainly not in Australia Paul
  11. mrsmackpaul
    I believe that to be correct as well The whole show was a bit of a mess as a result Paul

    I have ridden around in the 871 when they shifted gear for me 30 years ago The tipper was always zooming about have been up close and personal with it plenty of times I have seen photos of both of these on the internet so with some time and searching I could probably track them down Paul

    A fella by the name of Trevor Ralls from Trafalgar Victoria Australia had a B61 tipper with a 671 and a B something with the aluminium cast radiator with a 871 on float work Both fitted with standard bonnets and both still had the quad box Paul
  17. mrsmackpaul
    In line 671 fits in a B model, doubt a 6110 would as they are bigger again Paul
  18. mrsmackpaul
    Well you've been on the forum long enough to see the shenanigans going on the forum the last 18 months to know what may well of happened Paul

    Watched this the other day and yes ot confirms a lot of people are full of crap when they say about what they have seen Along the lines of, I new a bloke that had this happen or that happen as a result of in this case twisted straps A Australian 4x4 internet channel tested steel cable, nylon rope and chain to see which was safer The chain turned out been the safest by a long way The dayton rims and split rims that we read so much about and the so called horror stories associated with those I feel are the same, just stories Paul

    I wonder why Mack never mounted the heater like that to begin with ? Great job Paul
  23. mrsmackpaul
    Dunno about a gasket but I wouldn't of thought there would be one The dowls I would imagine would be all machined to a precise measurements in the factory and should be interchangeable Thats my thoughts Paul
  24. mrsmackpaul
    Everything said above Well done on not doing any damage The cab looks ridiculously small with out the rest of it attached, I guess it was all they had back in the day and no one new any different Paul
  25. mrsmackpaul
    Sounds like a good deal to me Paul
