like a good operator, looks like you have all the basics covered. Looks like you might have to dig deeper. Hope you can get it figured out. Sorry i can't offer any advice. Keith

Brian has it covered, but to add a little more, I think the basic concept of the vent j_martell is, as the oil leaves the reservoir to fill the lift cylinders, it has to be replaced by air. If air can't get in the reservoir , oil won't be able to easily leave, creating a vacuum in the tank. A good spot to check Also , might sound stupid but your oil level is right? were you loading uphill or downhill, and the oil supply line on the high side of your tank.

Thanks BAD DOG, I have seen pics of the F700, I think you posted them. It looks very sharp! As much as I would like to have something that is very rare. I think it would give me a nervous breakdown trying to get it restored. Its a chore buying parts for an R600 at times. I can just see the look on the parts guys face when I ask for something for a 1950 LMU. Very interesting truck though. Keith

I have been trying to figure that out Jim, I think it is about an hour west of my place. It looks like some type of museum. You guys have me thinkn I should own it. I don't think I need another project though. Thanks for the input!

I've never seen anything like it. I'm assuming its rare ?

No connection http://www.kijiji.ca/v-heavy-trucks/markham-york-region/1950-mack-crane/1021185680?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true The ad says 1950 Mack, but I'm not sure what model. I was wondering if someone knew what it was. It looks like it has suicide doors? Keith

I love that!! My laugh of the day. Thanks Mike!

You got that right Al, he was a policeman that did commercial truck enforcement. I was just getting finished up after a storm. He stopped me because he wanted to see my over wide load permit. He said I was over 8ft. 6 wide so I needed it. He made me go to the nearest weigh station(to make sure I wasn't overloaded) ………... 2 hours later he let me go. Plows don't need permits , its in our highway traffic act. -

Thanks Bob, it won't look that clean in February. -
This is from a Mack Maintenance and Lubrication booklet. I think it is basically what Alex said.

For some strange reason… my favourite transmission. Good for high winging, can back up in 5th, and take another swipe if I have to. -

Got stopped by the police one time, he couldn't believe a truck could have 2 shift levers. -

Not a fancy interior, but I like it. -
Getting ready for winter again…yuck! I painted the frame with Chassis saver (thanks big dog) the rest is still in pretty good shape. Now its ready for salt again
-
What a cool truck!!! See that frame… wow ! I don't think it would be too hard to get that beauty looking like the day it rolled out of the Oakville assembly plant. Lets see, 4000 Km from my place. Never happen. I hope someone that appreciates it, ends up with it. Keith
-
Sorry J_martell, I don't know the answer to your question. I am thinking they are lighter, but don't know for sure. Maybe someone else on here may have some insight. Good question though. Keith
-
Yes , a hook lift. He has a different bins and the flat bed for it. I agree though, rusty flatbed stands out.

A good friend of mine just got his new Granite. It is the first Mack he has ever owned. I hope it works well for him. I might have specs wrong, but I am pretty sure - 345 cummins with 6 speed auto, 14,6 front 23 rear, air ride. I got to take it for a spin. O wow, what a nice truck. I'm think'n it would be easy to spend a day in it, as long as your not sitting at the Mack dealer waiting for repairs. Very nice truck!!
