    yes it looks like their is 8 rivets holding the back plate on , if you just need to get the wheel cyl. off it is just bolted to the back plate , the back plates where rived on for a reason, not to be removed .

    welcome to the site, I had a 47 LS85 sold it after we bought a 54LS85 , on the 47 had the hinge pin mirrors with about a 4" mirror head which was very hard to see out of.also it only had one arm which vibrated when moving , did change to a 5x7 chrome head for better visiablity , if you now have a west coast type mirror you might be better off to leave them on it. good luck

    your mack should be a positive ground, every thing on the truck works positive ground,if you have a fire radio it has to be positive ground to operate. the mack musemun would have the specs on the truck and you will get a wiring diagram in the packet. If your engine is gas you will probably have to change the wiring at the coil/distr. if it is diesel I don't know the procedure

    Hi guys, where is the show in Lititz , directions from pa turnpike coming from jersey , are their any fire trucks at the show?
  16. 609albert
    thanks for reply, their is no vaccum unit , the transfer valve is manually operated, the control rod goes through the pump panel to 2 gears that rotate a diverter inside the pump casting , you can only move the knob a half turn , have another mack and the knob goes 3.5 turns to complete the operation of pressure to volumn or visa/versa. thanks, AL

    could you get me the part numbers from napa for the bleeders ? thanks
  20. 609albert
    thanks for the info,looks like that is what I'm going to have to do, I actually broke off the bleeder fitting that screwed into the cyl, these old trucks are nice but seems like ever part you fix it leads into another repair , this all started with replacing 1 brake line that was rusted through, then replaced 2 others , then the bleeding air from system broke the bleeder valve , and each wheel has 2 cyl's and none of the bleeders look good . thanks AL
