  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. ok thats what you call them I call them orange flashing lights strobe lights were in discos or night clubs LOL Paul
  15. 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
  16. 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

  18. 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
  19. thanks Barry got it by the balls now
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. 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
