Thank you very much guys, I appreciate the help. I hate to waste anyone’s time, it’s just that this is all new to me, and I’m learning as I go.

Simple tire, Bridgestone ???? 17 seconds to find on internet

11r 24 not 11r24.5.....

I mean obsolete as in they are no longer produced in the USA... as far as I know there are Indian and Chinese manufacturers that make them, but at much lower quality. 

I’ll give them a call. That would be helpful as I live in MA. I’d be surprised if they stock an obsolete tire size though. 

Looking for 11r 24" tube type tires.

Looking for any leads on where to find 11r 24" tube type tires.

Thanks guys.

Good Afternoon:

I’ve been price shopping for a complete wiring harness for my B61. I’ve read about Top o’ Hill in Pittsfield, MA but can’t seem to find any contact information for them. Does anyone have any information or a more middle of the road manufacturer (price wise)? The last one I priced out was in excess of $2,000. 

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. 

Great input guys, thanks. I’d like to do duals, but the air tank for the air start is in the way on the driver’s side. 

Hello,

I'd like to put a single 5" or 6" stack on my truck soon. END673. My question is: would 6" be too large? Do I have enough exhaust flow to prevent the gases from "the doldrum effect" and end up stinking up the cab etc? It would be 84" long. 

Thanks guys. 

This is the deal: ULSD is the only diesel fuel available for purchase in the United States, both on and off-road. In 2007, on-road sulfur content was reduced from 500 ppm to 15 ppm, and off-road followed suit in 2011. By 2014, all exeptions/exceptions (rail road, small refineries) were required to meet ULSD standards. 

I had lots of oil in my air lines, and replaced my Tuflo 450 compressor: problem solved.

I bought a re-man from Highway & Heavy Parts, as they were one of the only places I could find a Bendix compressor for a three bolt flange compressor for Macks. Priced very well too.

Thanks Terry!

Good Morning,

I noticed a pretty significant fuel leak on my Mack yesterday coming from the throttle control linkage where it meets the injection pump. I can't really tell where the fuel is actually leaking out of on the ball/linkage part. Its an American Bosch Injection Pump on an END 673P.

Any thoughts? Please see attached photo. 

Thanks!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. I'll probably just weld the cracks, and run it!

The caps have cracks in them. Is that a big deal?

Good Evening,

As you can see in my attached photo, my B61 mack has braces welded onto the trunnion tube. It seems to be leaking oil, and I'm not very experienced with truck suspensions.

Would I be better off replacing the trunnion tube and stand, or trying to find a Mack cutoff and just going the total update route? This is a 1962 B61, and I believe it has 54,000 rears. 

Thanks!

I made my own with rubber/cork gasket material but it clearly isn’t doing a great job on its own. 

Thanks for the help, guys. I just don’t know how concerned I should be about the possibility of rtv loosening up and getting into the oil. 

Should I even use the gasket that I made, or just RTV?

Nobody? I'm hesitant to use RTV on an oil pan.

Good Evening,

Anyone know a part no. for the inspection pan gasket on the oil pan? Tried making my own but its leaking slowly.

1962 B-61 w/ END 673

Thanks!

Looking for a chrome radiator shell for a B61.

My truck is air start...and after reading these responses, it seems like I can just keep the generator for the time being. I really appreciate the help guys!
