    After I got done putting the later engine in my b I just test drove it about 5 miles, Friday I got the new air cleaner from watt's and I pulled the old one off the truck and I stuck my hand in the intake tube on the truck and there was oil more than a film so I am figuring that oil bath that was on the truck didn't like breathing through my turbo just something to think about. And no it was not over filled and I serviced it under a thousand miles ago. Wow the 3.90 gears and 260 hp. really makes the old thing pretty jippy!

    I had a vickers 20 on my b I bought the pump used and It didn't work so I took it apart and changed the rotation then it worked. I remembered when I worked at Cleveland bro. we always punch marked every pump vane or gear so we got it right.

    When I did that changeover on my end 673 the dipstick was the problem for me. I ended up grinding a lot off the top backside of the adapter that is used to mount the pump.

    Just remember you have a forklift rated for 4000lbs if you have a side shift it is less, you can cheat and hang something heavy off the backend like we did a mack 5 speed out the back

    Are you shore you may have the reach you need are the forks 42's or 48's and what model is that Toyota it should have a class 2 fork frame. My old clark has short forks but I used it as is with putting a heavy bar across the forks and I had no trouble changing my engine.

    The Brockway I drove had air down and spring up and when I was fully loaded I ran 60 lbs. I also had 10-22 tires on the front.

    This fall I drove up to the Harford truck show and today I got a card from the northeastern pa. chapter antique club with a picture of my truck going in the fair entrance I was touched that someone would take the time to do this for me. VERY COOL!

    When I was running my shop I was subbing my work to a company that did powder coating on a large scale but gene would do anything a customer brought in. I had some parts done for my bikes I was working on. If done well it is tough to remove. I just was talking to gene's son about chrome powder coat for my hood mack letters and dogs. He said he wouldn't do it for me I wouldn't be happy it looks like aluminum shiny paint and potmetal if pitted looks like crap when done with that color.

    I had a1200 4x4 stepside 345 v-8 a 65 1/2 ton with a 304 v-8 and a 9 foot stepside and a scout with a 345 v-8 all wheel drive and a 1965 cabover with a 220 10 speed. I guess I like cornbinders.

    I called watt's this morning and ordered that air cleaner for the b model and the cap. The guy that figured the shipping rates was not in yet they said he would call later ya right, about an hour or so mike called me back!!! He asked for my email and sent me the info on the order as soon as I got off the phone. I thought I would give them an ata boy . I will order from them again.

    I just bought two inside door handles and two window cranks and the pins and the spring chrome expandable spacers that hold the pins in I payed over 200.00 dollars one handle was almost 50.00 dollars.I bought them from a mack dealer. The first parts guy wanted the model and serial number had a fit when I said b model I told him same as a r model I had to get a different parts guy he knew just what I wanted.

    Hobert 62 I am just sliding a 3.90 rear under my truck air ride and with the 260 hp. engine it should do the speed limit on the highway I also have a direct duplex

    I didn't list it correctly I have 1200. in parts I am willing to take an offer for it I know I have put to much in it but I have rolled an air ride rear under the truck today and I would like to see someone get some use out of it just like my engine I have for sale it is under a tarp on the side of the garage I am out of room to put it under roof.
  22. davehummell
    I have pulled out my mack rear I put new drums, shoes,bearings, seals. I don't know the ratio but I topped out at 55 mph. springs and mounts 4 good drive tires on Dayton rims. Best offer I had 1200. in all the new parts the person before me instulled late model spyders so it has quick change shoes on it. I have around 500 miles on the brakes.

    That is an amazing amount of damage on that poor truck. Years ago a driver we had in the fleet parked in a truckstop and was ordering lunch when he sees a truck and trailer rolling out of the lot and says some fool forgot to set the brakes then he realized it was our truck it rolled out of the lot and stopped in a swale ditch never hit any other trucks and he got the truck back on the road with out any damage we road him for a long time over that screw up.

    I know the owner of that truck he must be really proud of it! If it was warmer out I would take a ride up to see why he wants so much for it I think there is one like that setting in the weeds up on rt.6 and there is one a little newer setting in the weeds up on rt.11 going to Hartford.pa.

    I was certified to run cranes up to 17 ton but I bet the test has a few more questions on the form for those monsters.
