L Fire Engine Restoration
609albert replied to CaptainCrutch's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
It is actually a rectifier my LS85 pumper has one and the many I have seen have them to balance voltage. -
please let post what was the final problem. did you check the coils? also is it on both ignitions A & B that it happens.

great looking 'B' Mack , your at the right site for information on Macks, if your on the east coast even better. their is a big parts (everything ) meet in April called the Spring Melt in Allentown Pa. Also help to joint an association like a local chapter of SPAAMFA for info on musters & all info related to the 'hobby' . I'm in south jersey ,belong to the Cradle of Liberty Antique Fire Apparatus Assoc,(check our website). I have a 54 'LS85 Mack (open cab)

gas or diesel, power steer, mileage ,condition, tire condition, looks like not a Mack body & price

WOW is right .....the guy is a metal artist, you are going in the right direction -

the guy in CT is don holden, where in nj are you? do you belong to a fire apparatus association ? I have a meeting on Dec.2 Sunday on the assoc.that I belong to Cradle of Liberty (check out our website) you are welcome to attend it starts at noon this one being held a our museum near Swedesboro, N.J. (exit 14 on rt 295) members might have leads on a C model
-
their is a fellow in Ct. that has a large collection of the C models ,pumpers ,rescues & aerialscopes
-
I also like the C model Mack as I have a LS85 L model 1954 open cab, but like you have said it's condition ,prices can start from about $3500 up to 6or 7 grand on condition someone has one in Florida for 12 . the east coast is where you will find the most that might be for sale ,that was Mack Country. as far as the diesel switch that would be fairly easy and I would use the Mack 237 . Good Luck
-
nice looking C model ,my favorate
-
sounds like a wiring issue ,might be best to rewire all,my Mack was like a rats nest with wiring added through the years, check all the steel brake lines too ,I had a steel line that rotted away. good luck and post photos

1950 Mack LF
609albert replied to MackMan915's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
some owners replace the whole unit with an aftermarket ,thinking about doing it on my LS85 fire truck, a friend is going to do his ,will see how that goes. but the problem with the orginal is it does not filter much -
dholden@ci.stamford,ct.us
-
Same thoughts as F.W.D. ,most of the Macks have low mileage (that where in small depts. ) engines never got broke in. Pa & N.J . I would say had the most. I know of one fellow that may help you ,Don Holden in Ct. he has a collection of 'C' and CF 's , I'll try to find his email

Anyone going to the Spring Melt in Allentown,PA. next weekend ? always a good roadtrip.
