well you never guess what I stumbled across this morning a spare copy of the magazine so if you want it you can have it just send me your mailing address and I'll bung it in the post Paul

thanks for sharing felllas those b lack R models in the top post are looking pretty sweet Paul

thats a pretty cool looking car there for sale I think there was something like that on American Graffiti ? Paul

Well if I come across another copy I'll pop it in the mail and you can have it as long as you take me for a ride in it if I ever come over to the states ,had a look to see if I have another copy and its the only copy I have but I will keep an eye out you never no what might turn up seeya and as we say here in Australia you "keep the dream alive" Paul

Gudday Red welcome aboard you no they made a movie about you and wrote a book Paul

well there you go might have answered some questions with out even knowing it pretty smart hey wonder if it all still works on the truck ? Paul

does any body no what happened to this big idea ?seems like quite a smart idea Paul

have seen a few that are hooked up this way but dont cock there leg or just to real different you could have them do the Panda when you wanna wash your wind screen Paul

how for so you come up with that answer and do you no what all them there hieroglyphics mean as I have often wondered and have no real idea does anybody no if timken and rockwell centers are interchangeable ?? thanks in advance for any answers this dumb Aussie skippy the bush Kangaroo is wondering Paul

I dunno what the rating is but the reason I said I thought it was small is it dosnt have torque rods must have them on top of the diff center were as when they get a bit heavier they had a six rod set up and the heavy duty had an eight rod set up but I could be most likely wrong though Paul

moving right along there Timmyb I would think any bit of rust proofing would be better than none Paul

sounds about right then I should read things closer Timken axles became or were bought out by not sure which Rockwell in the 60's I think Paul

yes this leads to the problem that is all these things are old trucks and most werent meant to go real fast and dont have the power to if they are geared to go quick any hill or head wind makes it time change gears

Superdog I know why you bought it just to remind your self how good a Mack is looks like a Timken back end to me might be only light 30000 - 34000 lbs they are the only brand backends I have seen with the oil filled trunnions and the springs on top like a Mack Paul

maybe just crook head gasket pull some injectors out of one head at a time see which head is leaking Paul

why dont you put the second 3 speed box in backwards it will then give two good over drives and will solve all your problems Paul

I always find it amusing how depending on what part of the world your from depends on how bad something can look all a matter of what you are used to I guess ? In Australia on cattle trucks they would fit grease lines and nipples (zerks I think you Yanks call them) on blocks some were convienient to force grease in between chassis rails as cattle trailers were normal trailers with crates built on them and all pi$$ and $hit would leak through and get between the rails and rust them reel bad it amazes me when you lot in the states do these rails no one ever fits these grease lines to stop it happening again Did Mack paint between these rails when new ? fair bit of work ahead of you there Tim Paul

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! im impressed what a collection Paul

Ian I was down your way the other day should have knocked on the door and introduced myself mrs Mack would have had some Macks to play with lol Paul

I reckon they would be up near 54 feet long maybe just over by a couple if inches every standard pallet we use is 4 foot square so 26 divided by 2 equals 13 pallets up each side 13 times it by 4 equals 52 then I suppose you would have to add a couple of feet for the fridge unit up the front it might be 54 feet ? Paul just a bit more useless information Maxicube is Fruehauf in Australia and I reckon that happened back in the early ninetys Im guess they are still Fruehauf in the states if not disregard my waffle seeya

you should have wiped the grease off your hands you left a hand print on the one on your left hand side Paul

you gotta be proud of that Paul

how cool is that Paul

yep gotta agree with Swishy all sounds a bit like BS to me have heard of keep revs up if the motor has idle for a long time to stop it glazing up but Im not sure on that one either Paul

gudday back at ya from Australia and welcome a manual for what? might need some help to narrow this down a bit for some of these fellas Paul
