    Jack up any of the back wheels, any of the corners, block the truck so it cant roll, release the brakes and the wheel you have in the air should be able to be rolled Remembering it is not a power divider on a Mack axle, so it might be a little different than you expect Or if your tyre guy has the knowledge on this then let him sort it Paul

    I think it should be fine, to reverse the direction you would have reverse the polarity of either field or the armature If you reverse both I feel you should get the motor to spin the same way Only one way tell, hook it up and find out Paul

    Im pretty sure this fella hand makes these kits at home as a hobby, makes other brands of gear as well The way I got to know him was he contacted me when he saw the videos of me collecting my cattle trailer in Queensland, his father towed my trailer when it was new Anyway long story short he is also making cattle trailers or in the process of making them like mine I have provided 100's if not thousands of detailed measurements and and photos I'll ask if anyone is interested if he is in anyway related to the Auslowe models Paul

    The Princess is a hell of cook when she wants to be and as a young bloke I was a hell of a eater As the years have gone by I have had to kurb my appetite or I would be the size of a whale Still love my food but only eat probably a 1/8 th of what I did 10 or 15 years ago Paul

    There's a bloke in Australia is now making Superliner, Valueliner and I dunno what else cabs and bonnets in 1:25 These are all Australian Macks though so are slightly different Paul
  6. mrsmackpaul
    What scale do you blokes build these models in ? Paul

    I think it is for visibility, handy for working around people and tight spots Paul

    Thanks Vlad, very detailed explanation Once again it shows just how different American Macks are when compared to Australian Macks Im stunned that a heavy duty truck had a chassis that had the front half bolt to the back half from the factory, it must of worked okay I only learnt in recent times that Kenworths in Australia are like this as well, at least the older W model and SAR's are like this, maybe the front 18 inches bolts on Paul

    Have fun Paul

    What part of the world are you from The reason I ask is because when diesel is used in the more tropical parts of the world it grows a moldy slimy residue in the wet season There are different fuels to prevent this Maybe something to look at Paul
  13. mrsmackpaul
    So all American Superliners had a bolt on piece on the front of the chassis rails like the photo above ? Paul
  14. mrsmackpaul
    Dunno, I don't play around with this old junk to show it off and things like that, I selfishly do it because I enjoy it I guess we are all different and as long as the fella had fun I guess thats all that matters Paul
  15. mrsmackpaul
    Your moving right along there Should prime up pretty easy I eould of thought, good luck and keep us posted Paul

    I have a scan of this from Mack Australia bulldog bulletin Dunno if it is any clearer but I'll have a hunt about and see if I can find it I reckon these good old adds from Mack would sell like hot cakes if Mack did a rerun in large poster size or even as a tin sign to hang in the shed Paul

    Tyres on Mack axles need to be matched as the power divider isnt a diff If only one axle was changed it would mean that this axle is trying to drive the truck faster than the other axle So it is important to measure and be aware of this Match the tyres in duals and run the two biggest sets diagonally opposite each other This then allows the diff centers to take up the slight difference in diameter It is a no no to put new tyres on only the one axle on a Mack bogie drive Paul
  18. mrsmackpaul
    Correct And if you were to draw a line end to end the yokes on each shaft should line up, but between the shafts they should be slightly different As a general rule of thumb, it might be only my thumb though, each shaft should be one notch on the spline anti clockwise working from the front to the rear This is called phase angle Dunno how or why this makes a difference but experience tells me it does Paul
  19. mrsmackpaul
    Sorry I thought you were selling one in the other post 100 grand Australian if it's fair to good condition For a real good one 100grand Australian plus Paul
  20. mrsmackpaul
    Yep, I would aim high, a lot higher tjan you think Everyone has a horn for the E9 V8 these days and they aren't making anymore of them Series 1 Superliners are the one I would have if I was that way inclined Paul
  21. mrsmackpaul
    Well I guess we dont have to understand them They are having fun d oing it their way Personally I dont understand these great big tall gear sticks, I reckon it would be easy to break a selector fork and must put a lot of wear on the transmission with that extra weight resting on the dogs I reckon the sticks would make it jump out of gear on rough roads Paul
  22. mrsmackpaul
    Yeah I thought it was time to update it Old Mrs Mack has changed more in the last five years than the 35 before that I reckon the old photo was maybe 20 years ago Paul
  23. mrsmackpaul
    I reckon if it was running and all is as expected, I could see the grin on Matts face from Australia 😃 Paul
  24. mrsmackpaul
    Yep and Daisy is still rocking it as well
  25. mrsmackpaul
    LOL The General Lee, it can do so much, jump bridges, out run the fuz, run moon shine, pick up hot chicks and look cool as well while doing this and so much more Paul
