That's a beautiful truck! What are plans for the blue truck. Sedan cabs are not very common and are neat. I've got my eye on an ex-Memphis truck.

I just sent it to my resident "IH" specialist, Fred Crismon.

Where did you see that truck. Looks like a custom front end!

Check e-bay all the time, you never know what will show up

That's a dang good idea( the gift that keeps giving all year!)

The only way you will see what is wrong is to pull the tranny, You cannot get the fork out to spin the throw out bearing. You probably have a broken disc or spring(s).

Does anyone have any idea on oil filter for 1947 mack fire truck with EN 510 engine. I helped save one from the scrapper and got a friend to buy it! He has got it started but wants to change oil this weekend. I don't have any parts books or catalogs that old.

Thanks

Are you still needing information on this unit? I may have a service manual that I could copy.

Here is what I am going to do,

Take the original assembly off, build a bracket to mount a oil filter head and spin-on filter( Baldwin OB1308 head and Baldwin B7577 filter). When you take off the mount there are 2 threaded holes, the 1/2" is the inlet for the filter and the 1/8" is for the return. Make your lines and your in business. Should be about $60 or less for head and filter, $30 or less for lines. Can't find filters no more, they were over $50 at swap meets.

On a ENF707A engine, the original part number for piston rings was 353GC1466P1. Mack superceded that number to 353GC1522B. As usual none available thru Mack. Hastings shows part number of 2C5550, and they currently have none available. Have not been able to find any listings any where else. So my question is, If I needed a set, where and who might have some?

Have your flywheel resurfaced. I assume you have a push-type clutch, so the thickness may be close.

Hey Barry

A while back you had a picture of an "L" fire truck you needed to move to make room for expansion of your shop. Do you still have it or is it gone. Any info on it?

An easy quick check os to start the engine and spray starting fluid around it. If it is leaking the engine will speed up!

Hey Steve, give me a call at work M-F 8-5 1-800-999-8972

I can help you on an "L" fire truck

I also sent you an e-mail

Carl got in Saturday after noon with the truck! Only lost the window glass, couldn't take the high speed.

I was gonna mention Carl...when it comes to Punxy, he is as famous as Phil the Groundhog!

Super nice guy, I've got 2 transmissions and an engine from him!

Also has helped me many times in the past.

Well it looks like we will have the truck here soon. Carl Cook, who got it for me out of Syracuse will be bringing it on in! He is in Punxsutawney, PA. and has stored it for us

He also has a red "B"

:bmod1:

I will be there (5 miles from the house) will be at ATHS booth right next to front registration

David, the Baldwin numbers is OF1308 for the head and B7577 for the filter (B7575 short version).

I am going to install it and use teflon lines. I will use the engine mounting holes for bracket

I know this has been discussed before, but what have other people done about sock-type oil filters for this engine? Has any one been successful in changing to a spin-on type filter assy?

Also any rebuilding parts(rings, gaskets, bearings) available?

Thanks for any help

Need more information on truck

Good evening all. I am searching for a pair 12" on center. Any suggestions?

I assume you are talking about grab handles on "L" Mack fire truck. I have only seen 11 1/2" or 13 1/2"

Man, thats a tall order, seeing all those people. It'll take you a week to get straightened out and back to normal.

When you get to Carl Cook's place, be sure you go in daytime.

you can't find it at night!

Charlie,

I have one.

N.K.

Where are you located? and how much ? call me 1-800-999-8972 EDT 8-5 M-F

I am looking for an emergency brake inner drum and band for my '49 Ls 85. Hopefully some one has taken 1 off and I could sure use the whole assy.
