Also a tad bit more useless information from the small amount I know about governors its not the springs that need replacing the pivots wear on the fly weights and associated mechanism and all those bits need replacing and then the springs need to be adjusted to suit this may only apply to Caterpillar engines but I reckon theres a good chance the Mack governor will work on the same principle all in all it isnt a simple job and it is easy muck a injector pump if you dont know what your doing plenty have over the years anyway I will shut up other wise you will never get your pump off Hang on one more thing and Glen please correct me if Im wrong these have to be spill timed once the injector pump has been pulled off and if you dont know how to do that someone on here maybe able to talk you thru it when I did mine it was a two person job there maybe a way to do it on your own if it has to be done which I think it will I will shut up now Paul

If your gunna pull the pump the whole pump has to go to the shop a good shop should only fix what is wrong in my opinion if the pump isnt your problem they should be able to tell you that as well with out spending fortune to find out Paul

What Glen says to much can go wrong if you make a mess of it Paul

Fantastic article Paul thanks for sharing the link how goods the youtube link wonder were the rest of the film is ???? Paul

Yeah you should have told me to wipe me chin as it looked like I was dribbling shit

What A knob head I am its meant to say Im no expert because Im sure as hell not a expert at any of this and just blunder my way thru What a fool I am LOL seeya's

Im expert but I pulled the whole pump to get mine done and guess what made no difference at all LOL true cost me $5000.00 but still hunted real bad after woulds so my advice check it out properly what the cause is before shelling out hard earned coin Paul

If I found that I would be looking for a spare day or two and lift the center out and at least see what you can find you look and not find anything wrong may look and find you found it just in time for a bearing or two Either way it wont cost much to have a look and you can at least make a judgement call from that Paul

Wow what a different time than it would be today I have never seen that before fantastic stuff didnt expect to see a cement truck or tipper racing very cool stuff Thanks for sharing Paul

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ??????? must not have been able to see the big trucks with the camouflage Paul

Raji once you see one Mack they keep on popping up all over the place Paul

The big benefit of RHD is your always in the right LOL sorry Yeah 100% sure that isnt in Australia first reason is we dont bling trucks up like that out here and the other reason is Super Dog has seen it over there Some one has done a good job on the sleeper and theres no air cleaners outside the bonnet Paul

WOW thats amazing work it truly is what a result Paul

Mate that looks like the Dame Edna of trucks "Hello Possums" only Aussies will get that those head lights LOL I can see why they are there but well like Dame Edna LOL Paul

thats a pretty cool police car all I can think of is the blues brothers Ha Ha ha I think theres was a lot later model Paul

nearly done Is this gunna fit in your new shed as well or will you need more shed for this ??? Paul

will you need a air pressure gauge? if not how about a vacuum gauge it will come in more handy than a air gauge if you dont need one looking great to me Paul

As long as didnt make you crook I guess is the main thing nothing worse than having the "Jimmy Brits" and nowhere to take a stop LOL Paul

I was waiting for Superman in the sky is it a bird ?, is it a plane ? but no its a sheila washing tyres And yes that is a good size fork lift Dont know about your lunch looks like something I wouldnt find out here Paul

welcome to the forum Not sure what information you are chasing and how far you have got so maybe a few more details and I can try and help from there Paul

Mate you should be proud of what you have achieved A job well done Paul

I have been doing some thinking about this truck ( I know I shouldnt ) it may have been only supplied for evaluation to to the Army for a tank transporter as the Army bought Leyland Contractors for tank transporters at this time not Macks and before then they still used WW2 Diamond T's and Federals after the Leyland's the Used S line Inters and after that MAN's but never Macks And its not one of the Macks the Army bought in the 80's they were all 6x6 and Flinstone fronted Federal truck in Vietnam Diamond T's taking Army tanks out to Maralinga for nuclear testing Leyland Contractors IH S line's which were used as triple road trains by the army as well and today they use these MAN's for shifting tanks but at no stage as far as I know did they ever use Macks like the one advertised which makes me wonder was it a special for the Army trials when they bought the Leylands instead Paul

Air cleaner was standard on all Macks in Australia till the coolpowered ones came out then they only used that style on no Mack engined trucks out here Elephant ears have never heard them called that before will still used into the 80's And that style of front axle was used until the early 80's as well or at least hubs with that style cap on on the lighter Mack front end but when axle limits changed they changed did away with that style I dont think that would be a lite weight front axle though Paul
