  1. All that are interested in the under the dash electric wiper motor for your B model that replaces the vacuum motor, call Newport Wiper in Missouri and ask for Daryl.  Tell him that the unit you are talking about is the one he made for me. Daryl is the technician that built my unit. The unit cost me $266 I believe delivered to me.  My unit is a two speed unit. It comes with a wiring harness, two speed switch, and a simple wiring diagram. For an additional $75 they will add a delay switch if you want an intermittent function also. I had to get Daryl to send me new transmission bearings/grommets, as the pins on the bell crank on the new unit where .035 too large in outside diameter to fit my wiper transmission's original bearings/grommets on the arms that connect to the unit.  It is much better than what I had before, I am pleased with the function and materials used to build it.  I hope this helps all of you.

  2. I have a 1960 B95 Mack with a 707 gasoline engine.  I want to install an AC unit.  I have a 2 shive belt pulley on the engine now.  I would like to know how the AC compressor mounting bracket attaches to the engine and what it looks like.

    The lower bracket is homemade, using the original fuel filter mount portion.  I then ran two legs down to the accy drive to support it.  Rock solid.  This mimics what they do with an R model that has a/c.  I only run one belt, on the front pulley, as it won't clear the protrusion of the accy drive down below.  The belt just touches it as it wiggles around while running.  Never a problem, works well.  I had to clip the fan shroud a bit to clear the pulley on the compressor.

    I closed my PB acct so lost all my linkable pics.  Here are a few.  I duplicated what they do with an R model basically.  The condenser is under the bunk since there is no place out front to mount it.

    I am familiar with the black bracket the compressor is attached to.  What is the stainless steel bracket below it and how is it attached to the engine block? I could not tell in the picture which pully or pullies are driving the compressor.  Thank you for the photos Sir.

    Been there.  I got my from Retroair.com.   It was only $650?  They don't offer the same kit anymore and looks like prices are higher now.  Fit great, works great.  It will freeze you out of the cab.  I'm trying to find the link to my install a couple years ago.  

    Here are a couple pictures.

    How did you mount the compressor and what did you use, pictures would be helpful?

    It looks to me like your engine is either a 673 P, or a 711, judging by the split intake. Maybe some one knows better. Another basic thing to keep in mind is that even number models were built with gas engines (B 42, B 60, etc. ) and diesel equipped trucks had odd numbers ( B 61, B73, etc. ). A lot of gas engines were replaced in later years with diesels, so like Freightrain says, the serial number may not tell the whole story. There is also some meaning to the letters following the first letters in your serial number. For example an S indicates a tandem drive, an L indicates Lightweight components, an X indicates an extra heavy duty chassis and so on. What is your serial number ? Steve.

    That is not correct concerning the even and odd numbers on the B models.  My B95 has a gasoline engine.

    I did a few dozen google n yahoo and even ask searches i can not find anything dealing with or related to Mack Gas engines.

    I was chatting with a friend and even he don't even remember seeing a mack powered by nothing other then a Diesel engine.

    Was there no such things as a Mack Gasser?

    Mike

    Yes the 707, it is very similar to the 673.  It had an overhead valve train and some had dual spark plugs with dual ignition.

    I first seen this truck as a kid,in the early '70's. The owner/operator that hauled produce with it, was located just south of Green Bay,Wis. on RT 41 in Lawrence,Wis. He had advertised the truck in the Wheels of Time for sale in the early '90's. Kind of an interesting look with the B-model fenders on it. This was long before "Trick My Truck",for sure! The house/shop is still there along with a couple of old storage trailers. Don't know what ever happened to the old LJ. Maybe its still in the shop there?
