mrsmackpaul replied to KO1927's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
your not alone there -
This photo isnt a Mack its a Leyland Super Hippo and almost all of these were exported from the UK with out a cab and had locally built cabs in Australia they were used on road trains and heavy haulage out here Paul
-
these are some great photos of older Mack trucks hot rodded and still working Oh yeah and welcome to the dog house here is some videos from you tube I came across a while ago I dunno if others have already seen these so forgive me if you have Paul
-
ok thats what you call them I call them orange flashing lights strobe lights were in discos or night clubs LOL Paul
-
strobe lights ???????? yeah its a bit of coin but the old Superliners are still worth a packet out here as they say they just dont make them like that anymore but were else are you gunna buy a truck rated to 200 ton or 440,000 pounds as the US ton is only 2000 pound for that type of coin the E9 was a hard motor to beat in its day and still is today and the Maxitorque trans well pretty much the whole trucks are to beat back when new and still hold there own now 30 years later and I could see me loosing a finger real quick in that steering wheel Paul
-
this is all interesting to me The untis I was working didnt have a solenoid there was a switch that would open the circuit to the starter motor when the flap was lifted to plug the lead Paul
-
Ok all you jokers that are over at least 40 years of age as it wont have enough power for the younger crew they will 600hp plus LOL heres a tuff old truck with a Mack Sleeper not a real long distance runner as it has no long range tanks but will go all day between drinks I reckon dunno about the steering wheel though https://truckdealersaustralia.com.au/item/used-1984-mack-super-liner-fvX/

I remember some years ago doing electrical work at a Ambulance station and all Ambulances had a plug on the side to plug them into mains power when not being used I guess because they had so much electrical stuff in them and were never really turned off as in the radios were always going and lights and stuff on inside them They also had a cutout so when it was plugged into mains you couldnt start them I wonder does a fire truck have they same type of thing ???? Paul
-
thanks Barry got it by the balls now
-
dumb question why ??
-
I am amazed they havent put dye thru that is sort of standard thing out here even in a new system a lot of the time people put dye just encase this type of thing happens it takes you straight to the problem They can put dye into the system at any stage even now your local aircon bloke should be able to add it and at least you will know for next time Paul
-
nope not the same as the old forum ah well I'll on plugging away I might get used to it or find out what Im not doing it sure is harder for me to find my way around at all with the new forum I must be getting slow
-
when it gets re gassed do they put dye in it so you can see were its leaking out with a infer red light ???? that way you can see were the leak is no matter how small Paul
-
I dont get no drop down box so I have to open the topic and then click on last page because when the topic opens it always opens on page one were with old forum if I wanted to open a topic it would have 1234..... and say 44 if there was 44 pages and I just click on 44 not now it just opens page 1 not a big problem I was just wondering if I was missing something Paul
-
settle down cowboy you'll have accident LOL but yeah it is great to watch this story unfold the highs and lows and by the looks of it ,it isnt gunna be long now till it looks all fresh and new again Paul
-

-
Now Im fairly thick as most of you know but for the life of me I cant work out how when I click on a topic how click straight onto the last page like we used to I have to click on the topic the first page opens and then I click onto the last page Obviously I am the only one having this problem must be my upside down computer LOL any ideas anyone Paul
-
there is currently a group of fellas building a full size replica of the Siamese twin Cat machine as we speak they just purchased a Low Loader big enough to shift it around so I dont think its going to be long till we see it going around to shows Paul
-
