    never gave it a thought till you brought it up . only difference ;besides the nose conversation are the front axle caps = flat vs concave, which would indicate different truck ?? enlarged pictures ; didn't help much. green/red has frame extension ?? either way both are good looking.

    once again thanks to B M T crew ; it proves ones never to old to learn. never had much discussion dealing with history of what was being repaired back then.

    Queen St used to be exit 32/ all the numbers were changed to match mileage markers or something. we are couple miles off 691 (X27?). truck stop is X28

    looking at the first picture that was posted.no step down seen. possible reason these brain cells went down wrong path in remembering . his truck does have roto chamber as technically called. there was basically nothing to the Mack/wagner can. that style can was also used in other applications

    I haven't mastered the picture taking/ web address posting .

    an original version had the philips head bolts also notice more bolts hold it together.

    It took a while but to save my sanity and prove my innocents. I found a picture of a similar NOT exact front brake chamber to which I have spoken. happens to be on ebay . the Mack number is ::19QU396P5, wagner number 103151. old school air chamber not having contoured outer can. /ring of bolts with base; bolt protector.

    my shop was 30X50 , when figuring the foundation a side door was installed which lined up with side door of old UPS trailer. took trailer side door off along with wheels/tires ;dug a hole so suspension was lower. could walk from shop into trailer for another added 45 ft of storage. along side that trailer was a second 45ft. everything was full. never saw a shop big enough. had 2 stage 80 gal air compressor mounted in the trailer with 1 in piping into shop. hardly heard compressor running,

    to clarify , the front chamber to which I was referring used by Mack early days did not have a diaphragm as picture shows. was similar in outside design having ring of outer philip head bolts holding it together ;;but inside had a plunger ( possibly alum) with large O-ring and felt wiper which sealed against outer shell. constant wear created a ridge inside. repair kit consist of new shell/wiper/o=ring. the 24 replaced this style.

    schedule between now and Wednesday will be jam packed for sure, I would gladly pay for , coffee/lunch and do a short meet and greet. no pressure.

    you can remove the word "was" in your thoughts!! it still is very expensive . worth the drive to N H for buying lottery tickets just so CT won't get any tax from it. receive any part of this 1 billion $$$; I'd go to NH buy a house /change address on everything , then go collect money from lotto in a month when things quieted down.

    New Haven Trap Rock ; another name /company big back then but forgotten today, intersection or not for some reason the Mack going wrong way based on lines in middle of road; unless he swerved to left hoping to miss the car.
  15. mechohaulic
    are You still in CT or headed back ?? didn't see the green machine tooling around cheshire

    those Philip screws at time are a challenge, rusted in the heads strip. do all that work only to find out the cyl has a worn ridge, another sign of the times:: older was better, just can't find those parts anymore. 2 X 24 in todays world a tad more positive ;; not better just more positive.

    what a P I A those super large oil pans were . more oil equaled longer oil change intervals == E S I +. wasn't bad swapping two 5 gal pails under drain plug. E S I + trying to jockey three or more 5 gallon pails as hot oil is running.

    now knowing trailer has air suspension; this is what's called normal operation. have a good day.
  19. mechohaulic
    were they out of adjustment ????
  20. mechohaulic
    problem solved 😀.. cann I get an AMEN !!!!
  21. mechohaulic
    air suspension will also account for air dropping. if it is spring suspension I might have to consult with Yukon Jack at this point.
  22. mechohaulic
    does this trailer have air ride suspension ??? ==1st blast of air brakes setting/ second blast of air is suspension dropping.
  23. mechohaulic
    slight exhausting ; not major blowing. also when pulling out the red button should NOT effect air gauges . pushing in to release brakes there could be air loss in tanks/ on gauges . NOT setting brakes.
  24. mechohaulic
    went back to page one. first sentence ;" when I PUSH IN THE RED BUTTON" , yellow line leaks. basically I'd say the module was the problem . you just happened to find a brake can leaking on SERVICE side . slight air exhaust when PULLING OUT the red button not bad.
  25. mechohaulic
    whole purpose of the yellow exhaust line is just that;; exhaust the system air when red button pulled out.
