At the turn of the century that company name was big in woodworking industrial tools they were made right there. There is a foundry next door. Today they make carbide indexable heads for planers. They welcome you to walk through the warehouses and the repair shop and machine shop. If you have time go down to the end of the street and there is a very nice museum lots to look at.

Safety Rim Ring
davehummell replied to 609albert's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
If I remember aren't the rings and rims numbered so they stay together? That was told to me when I was first learning to change tires. -
Have a look at king of obsolete's website very interesting an he runs an old ford with a 318. I saw him on that ice road show pulling a load along with some others. I have a soft spot for those old 318's

The trucks that i started PMing from new I greased at 12,000 miles with the best grease I could get from psc . They have 900,000 plus but it was mostly highway miles.

seal choice and bearing preload.
davehummell replied to tom1361's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Tell tom or jeff you don't want the old style stemco's they will leak. Try a national seal they work real well if your seal surface is just a little worn . Look at the paperwork in the seal box it should tell you all you need to know how to preload bearings and torque on nuts. -
Back in the late 60's I lived in Baltimore and we had to get off the streets way before dark and you didn't have hubcaps or an antenna for very long and if they found your car locked they would smash your windows just to be pricks . I have little sympathy when read about their so called problems

HI, I found out I had a frozen brake shoe on the rear axle and when I got it tore down someone has changed the spider over to later shoes that has the pins and set bolts . I wonder why someone would do that? I know it was later as the abs pickup was still attached.My truck is a 58 b model

This should be mandatory for snowflakes to watch
davehummell replied to HeavyGunner's topic in Odds and Ends
I always looked forward to mike's show. It was refreshing to see real life work that suck just as bad as my days at work. I wanted to fix motorcycles for a living but my family wouldn't have it so I became a caterpillar mechanic and spent time fixing stuff broke down in coal breakers and landfills and on the side of innerstates and driving some really crappy trucks. But watching that show many times I thought good god boy am I lucky I'm not doing those jobs. How bout everyone else? -
Went for a joy ride today.
davehummell replied to Hobert62's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I live about 1/2 hour from the nickelson bridge it is truly a wonder how they built the bridge back then. Once in a while steamtown runs an steam train over it. It is still used for freighttrains. -

HI, I just broke my glove compartment pushbutton assm. I need one. Does anyone have one to sell? It is for a 58 b model. Thank you, dave

I ran a hardhat freightliner triaxle with one of those l10 engines it was about 325 or so hp. I was less than impressed. I drove a 3406 325hp and it ran rings around the l10. Years ago I had a 59 autocar with that 262 and a 4by4 and it did ok. It would be nice to keep that 262 in that truck. Nice birthday present.

Hobert I got a steel plate and did away with the hole. Thank you for the offer.

This a members B model?
davehummell replied to 41chevy's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I spent some time looking that truck over and it is pretty good. It has the mack walking beam instead of camelback. I just didn't want to spend that much on a truck, at the time I looked he wanted 30,000$ -
Can you imagine being married to her ?

davehummell replied to steve s.'s topic in Truck Shows and Events
I will be wandering around up there I will look you up underdog. -
I spent many hours in a Brockway triaxle with the lowly 318 with a 13 speed I thought it did real well, I had a coal box and I would load that truck up with crusher stone dust.

I just remembered I bought a book called giant earth-moving equipment and it covers all the big shovels and the largest straight front shovels if you like this sort of thing you will find the book fascinating.
