You blokes are soooooo picky lol Paul

Have a great day Vlad, get rotten as a chop 🍻🍾🥳 Paul

This is exactly what I use, let it sit for while to sort of cure I make sure the rocker covers are nice and straight and panel beat them into shape if needed Zero leaking issues Oh and I make sure they are spotlessly clean, almost like a mirror Noticed the logo has changed and the Indian head is missing, must be offensive in todays world, Trump might sort that as well Paul

Sounds like air in fuel issue Could compression test the motor Paul

Not a E6 Mack motor , they last for ever , Barry we need a R model one of these picture things Or a DM or U Model for this thread Back in the dim dark days when dinodoors (that's how my boy said when he was maybe 3 years of age) some of the early diesels had timing chains for the injector pump and cam etc These old buckets of bolts needed regular adjustment to keep them starting and running Starting old diesels was a big enough drama Now on a old Cat diesel motor they need timing because the lifters in those old injector pumps are like lifters on valves, if the the clearance is to great the timimg is to retarded and if the clearance is to small the timing is adavanced On a E6 Mack motor, they are set and forget Cummins are like a Cat as are 2 stroke Detroit's Mack motors are spot on once set correctly All those other buckets of bolts need timing adjustment If your gears are that badly worn your gunna have a lot bigger issue like no oil pressure or bent valves Anyway, enough waffle from me Go and check the timing Paul

Unless someone has tampered with the injector pump it shouldn't need adjustment They are all gear driven so it shouldn't of moved Paul

Plug is to pulled and the housing greased from the fitting underneath until grease comes out the plug on top Bolt in the spring is a center bolt and won't have a head hanging out the top The head is in the casting you grease, that will be the threaded end on top sticking out Center bolt keeps the spring pack located on the big casting and stops the spring sliding back and forth If you ever break a center bolt on a steer axle you'll know things get very busy very quickly, I describe it as what I imagine driving a yacht is, tacking from side to side as Im spinning the steering wheel quickly from side to side trying keep things straight-ish Paul

Needs two people as far as I know One at the pump pumping and one turning the motor over slowly backwards and forwards It's called spill timing out here, has been 20 years since I have been involved in doing this Paul

The E6 2 valve is commonly regarded as a harder and tougher motor than the 4 valve As they say "she'll pull christ from the cross" or "she'll pull the ass outta the ocean" 2 valves were the very best motors of their era Paul

Yep, glad I missed that party lol Miss Molly the border collie would take her down 🐕

All pretty impressive to me I gather there's a lot more mountains were this operated The axle weights in the U.S. are a lot less than the rest of the world I'm guessing this has a lot to do with when all the big highways were built across the state's, trucks were slower and loads a lot smaller Jay Leno often mentions how in the 50's and 60's people were happy to cruise along at 50 - 55 MPH So nothing needed as much power Speeds in Australia are much slower, 65 MPH max for trucks, 55 MPH road trains 14300 steer axle 19800 single axle with duals 36500 tandem axles 44000 tri axles Wide spaced tandem axls are more but I dunno how much more Enjoy your lunch when you get to it, and don't plonk your ass in front of the T.V. as you'll nod off 😴 Paul

What sort of weight did you pull into the head wind? Diagonal wind across the front and flat open treeless country knocks the wind out of 320 with a tall trailer Back to 40 - 50 MPH until I reach trees or some bumps in the country side And yes that truck does look the goods Bob Paul

Sounds like a great result Paul

This is pretty impressive, just think at one stage a 100 Flying Fortress bombers were getting shot down each day at some stage 1/3 of all U.S. bombers crews never returned after each mission dew mainly to yhe daylight bombing strategy 25% of allie bombing crews never returned from each night mission With all our sooking amd carrying on these days, are we really living our best lives ? Remember every man lost had a mother that would never see her son come home, a lot probably had a wife and kids We need to add a tea spoon of cement and toughen up !!!!! Enough from me, read bellow FACT: Willow Run... by November 1943 they were rolling out a new B-24 every hour. At its peak monthly production (August 1944), Willow Run produced 428 B-24s with highest production listed as 100 completed Bombers flying away from Willow Run between April 24 and April 26, 1944. By 1945, Ford produced 70% of the B-24s in two 9-hour shifts. Ford built 6,972 of the 18,482 total B-24s and produced kits for 1,893 more to be assembled by the other manufacturers. The B-24 holds the distinction of being the most produced heavy bomber in history Paul

Burn them.on the ground and have a cuppa watching it all Cook some damper on the coals, some jam and butter, mmmmm, yummo https://www.agfg.com.au/recipe/campfire-damper Paul

Burn the planters while drinking bourbon watching them burn Nothing like watching the bush tv Paul

My new 300 Maxidyne is ordered and hopefully arrives soon enough Paul

Clearly that's the motivation you need Bob Time for the cook to inspire you ha ha ha ha Paul

Don't worry about stuff falling in the motor, thats what the oil filter is for 😁😁 You Im pulling.yah leg and been silly The older we get the harder it is to get motivated, especially when hot, doesn't get cold here But just turn the T.V. off and start seems to work, I think working for myself most of my life I have had to go out and do as no one else is here to do it Because I care I have a helper for you A different Mrs Mack than normal ha ha ha Paul

So do you blokes call the KW emblem a bug, thats what's known as im Australia Probably only by older blokes now Looking like your enjoying the new job Paul

If you drop the wheels off a normal bag trolly can be used or if your feeling fit enough just grab the hub and drum in your arms and lift it on and off, this was my normal way until recent years Sort of roll the drum and hub up on blocks of wood and just lift across So a few different simple ways have been mentioned Greasey board Pallet truck Hand trolly Motor bike jack, this works really good and doesn't take up much room Paul

I guess it depends on the country Australia and New Zealand use the standard R model cab on a Superliner Paul

Plenty of farm tractors used sae 30 oil in the power steering years ago Most farmers put what ever they used in the motor in the power steering I think the main difference with oils for hydraulic applications is how they behave when they get hot Motor oil doesn't compress as well as hydraulic oil when it gets hot, this isn't usually a drama on power steering Some oils frotha lot and then don't pump properly I use hydraulic oil in power steering, I figure if the seal does fail the small amount of oil added to the motor is like pissing in ocean to watch the tide rise Paul

7.10 am First cuppa coffee, let the dogs out for a sniff and a pee Mum called around 4 weeks and asked if I could collect her dog, so have a very old Kelpie with us as well Mums been in hospital pretty much since with Hoskins Lymphoma, they started chemo but had to stop as she's to crook for that at the moment Princess and Penny watching T.V. last night

Hope the Mexican was nice, not quiet snowing here 39°C or 102°f in the old money, no A.C. in the Mack, pretty warm none the same Coppers wheeled me not long after the photos coming home "Have you had anything to drink ?" "Hell yeah, water and Im out of it now" Anyway breathalyzed and sent on my way, think he just likes my truck LOL Paul
