    I think gearhead has you pointed in the right direction. If the alternator has a SAE J-180 mount, two bottom legs and one top bolt. It is important there is movement in the bottom bushing (bottom leg farthest from fan). When installing or adjusting always tighten it last. Pics would help though, in case you have something different. Keith

    Thats a Mack 6 speed . Or a TRXL 107/1071. The TRXL 1071 has low low or a creeper gear. I don't know of an air switch on the dash though.

    In the wiki there is an R model wiring diagram. It might help point in the right direction. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/tutorials/article/55-r-model-wiring-diagram/

    Unfortunately my education is similar to yours , from youtube. My education of Australian road trains is from the same place, youtube. Hopefully one day I can see both, Notre Dame rodeo, and go to the other side of the world to see some cool road trains! Keith

    Last weekend was the Notre Dame truck rodeo in Quebec. This has on youtube….. not Macks, but pretty cool in my opinion. From what I can figure, they are pulling 145,000 pounds…….The trucks are going faster than my 237 would go empty.

    Was it blue with a white hood? Thats A&G out of Bolton. They do a lot of snowplowing. They have a large Mack fleet. All newer stuff now. Most contracts require new equipment. They had some cool DM's with plows, would imagine they are gone now. Here they are on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=yl8rosbMWr8

    I think this would qualify for super trucker Saturday The driver was charged with impaired driving. It took 2 days to figure if it was safe to remove the truck. also a link to the news story http://o.canada.com/news/truck-crashes-into-bridge-on-the-burlington-skyway

    I hope its ok if i sneak in a DM. This was worthy of a pic because,as you can see by the mud in the pic. This guy idled in and backed up with no troubles. like A dry summer day for a Mack.

    How about another International. This is a good friend of mine. Its a 2007 , never seen salt. The frame and rear ends, entire truck for that matter look like new. I hate salt!! Even though its not a Mack, I like this truck.
  16. 85snowdog
    Welcome, you started off right….we love pics here.
  17. 85snowdog
    I think the 77 R735 would look good with your name on the door. Keith
  18. 85snowdog
    I can just picture the people you were dealing with. Probably didn't give a rats ass about one of their surviving trailers....all they would be interested in is what the cake would look like at the anniversary party. Seems to be a lot of people around like that these days
  19. 85snowdog
    I wonder if that means your positive…………….or negative? My chevy pickup is the same , shocks from it all the time .
  20. 85snowdog
    Your missing a loader backhoe, then you would have everything covered. Nice looking fleet!!!
  21. 85snowdog
    and they also pretreat the salt with products like ice bite that will melt ice at almost -30 celcius ……..that really helps to rot stuff. Quicker!!! After last winter it looks like I had battery acid sprayed on the rear ends .
  22. 85snowdog
    That's a cool truck ! I hope it goes to a good home.
  23. 85snowdog
    I don't want to mess you up, and maybe you know this , but older Macks , when the key switch is on or truck is running the brake lights stay on when the park brakes are on. The lights only come off when the brakes are released. Keith
  24. 85snowdog
    Thanks for sharing that!!! A very cool perspective.
  25. 85snowdog
    Thats a cool truck I want it. Coming from an airport explains why it is not rotted with salt.
