I have a 1949 Mack pumper, 85LS1360, original owner Montclair NJ FD. I would like to remove the “Sock” oil and replace it with a spin off type filer. I would like to attach the spin of filter and its mount to the fire wall.

Does this seem possible?

Any advice and/or suggestions will be appreciated. I am not a mechanic by trade, but I know my left from my right so any advice, please keep it simple

Thank you

Recently purchased a 1980 Mack R series Rescue Truck. I will be requesting information from the Mack Museum soon, but want to change the fluids now and I would like to know the capacities of the fluids, oil, water/antifreeze, transmission. Truck serial # R611FC-1057,  motor type ETZ673 ( might be RTZ673, my copy not too clear). Transmission is a HT-740D. It is a diesel motor with a turbocharger

Thank you

Purchased 1949 LS Mack fire truck this past summer. looks like I need a gasket kit, head gasket and oil filter. posts I have read say oil filter for 707 Thermodyne hard to come by period, recommend remote location for new oil filter, is this correct? any place to look for gasket kit?

Thank you
