    A far better and more accurate description than mine But still not answering what actually happens when a Allison auto is fitted Is the line to the transmission on a Maxitorque box just capped off I thinking that what ever is done for a Road Ranger would be the same as for the Allision auto Clearly I don't know but someone must be able to answer this accurately Anyone have a air diagram that ahows what happens ? Paul

    ĪPuff limiter worked thru the gear box, depending on the gear you were in Dunno what they did with auto boxes, I would be guessing something was used to operate the puff limiter when a auto was used Is there a switch on the box the tells you what gear it's in that a solenoid to work a air valve ? Paul

    Welcome whitemouth Good luck with trying track the truck down I can still read the rego number, can you track it down that way thru the transport department ? If you could start thereand maybe find the next owner and work your way thru and find out what happened and if it's still about Paul

    Did the Kwik lock system ever catch on and become wide spread ? It looks a little clunky to use and the US seems to love the pintle hook while the rest of the world uses the ringfeder Sorry RD006 I have completely trashed your thread here by taking it off topic Paul

    Welcome Sergey I don't know anything about Hercules motors, what type of information are you chasing Paul
  9. mrsmackpaul
    This good news, hopefully this can all come together Paul

    A Jo Dog set up ? I gather this what a Jo Dog is that you all were talking about a while ago Paul

    Does it even make a difference To me it isn't bad buying at that money It's a good start for a project and everything after that doesn't amount to a hill of beans as the saying goes It really is a good start at a good price All the picking apart of a listing is kinda childish to me as no one is gunna keep it original anyway I hope who ever buys it enjoys it for what it is Would there be many good B model cabs left in the states They didn't so much rust apart in Australia, more broke apart with metal fatigue with our fantastic roads Paul
  12. mrsmackpaul
    Looks to me like the radiator isnt original Its orange the trucks yellow, this would explain the fan situation As to the price, if it was out here you would get knocked down in the rush to buy it I would consider it to be good buying at that price Paul

    A good result then Hopefully the good results keep on coming for you Paul

    Sounds to me like the shaft on the starter needs some lube for the solenoid be able to slide the bendix and close the contact Brushes could also be a issue If it winds over sometimes after tapping with a hammer then the windings are fine I would pull it out and fully apart Clean it, remove any rust or corrosion lube the shaft and the plunger, test the windings, file or sand the contact disc amd reassemble, test and put back together Nothing worse than been broken down on the side of the road because of a dud starter Paul

    If we consider the air system on trucks never changed much at all over that period then that gives us a idea of how many tanks we need As to were tanks are placed, I can't help with that on these truck's But here is a copy of the sign/name plate of all Macks sold in Australia for many many years that was normally screwed to the inside of the passenger door on all models of Macks soldin Australia Paul

    So I got the email telling me they are ready I replied to the email, Barry how do I pay and organise postage to this wide brown land ? Shoot me a email or message with some instructions and I'll make it happen my end Paul
  17. mrsmackpaul
    Thats a fantastic out come I feel Even though Mack didn't offer much help it must feel good to have it fixed It really is a great feeling to achieve this type of result Well done Paul

    Gudday Ron and welcome I am of no use at all on these, best advise for maintenance is to drive it Nothing wrecks a vehicle quicker than not driving it Paul
  19. mrsmackpaul
    I can't see why not It should work, just have it ticking over nice and gentle, wouldn't leave it on there for hours on end but I reckon if it works then why not I guess if it had a limited slip diff and abs brakes or traction control it might be different Paul

    Remember if you blokes are gunna cut into a diesel tank to clean them out to fully wash it out with petrol first Diesel seeps into the seams and steel and evaporates out as it gets heat from cutting and welding etc This makes the tank full of fumes and explosive again Dangle a air hose in running freely to force any fumes out But wash out with petrol first is a must But you all aren't talking about cutting a hole to clean a tank out so disregard my comments, my comment is just encase you decide to fairly get stuck in Happy days everyone Paul
  21. mrsmackpaul
    Bugger me, this is no good at all I'm sure you'll find a buyer quick enough, sounds like a nice little run about Paul
  22. mrsmackpaul
    I had no idea who this was, had to Google him I like food to much to starve to death like this bloke Paul
  23. mrsmackpaul
    I reckon this would make quite the cool camper for a month or two Paul
  24. mrsmackpaul
    Outhouse would be called a dunny here Paul
  25. mrsmackpaul
    I am the same, I don't bother trying to do anything myself with a radiator unless Im broken down somewhere Last R model radiator cost 5 grand Australian to get recored Yeah it's a lot of coin but nothing compared to the cost of a motor Paul
