    in the Mack days I had a U model which did basically same thing. days before computers/ modules etc. chased it at least three times on rode calls. driver had a timed delivery. never found cause. did all the above and then some. final deal== I gave driver a wrench ; he kept priming it to keep going. best guess for me was a hair line crack in suction side ?

    high hopes you get one running, it's a sound way better then todays electronic stuff. like Matt's B-73 there will be many up & downs to the building process but well worth it in the end. 😁

    time seems to take its toll on just about everything (and ever body). no matter what "preservatives" taken. 20 minutes I'm on my way to physical therapy. sure hope it works ; next step the knife if it don't. 😱

    when you mentioned a P&W was a donor , didn't expect it to be in abandon condition. still should be quite a few good parts or fix it as a runner. have seen units on here or else where in worse shape .

    possible for a little more history on this unit ?? hasn't run in yrs/ have been having fuel problems / etc .. see it listed in fire apparatus. this is a fire unit .runs rough and getting it ready for parade season ??? if the filters fuel is black smells like varnish I would think the fuel tank(s) need a flushing/ cleaning also.

    from day one that ground bar in pump for dynatard was a cluster f==k . if they did last longer than a small number of uses , they wore out fast. I like the modification to grounding dynatard ; could call it a "redneck nitrous switch" LOL

    years later, still kicking my ass for throwing out ALL the brand new Detroit diesel parts I had. new cyl kits. turbo, blowers. etc thanks to age of computers ; all the brand new N65/N75 injectors I wanted to GIVE to manager at service dept at local international dealer (knew him well), he couldn't take = had no way to show on inventory (computer) when they were bought. can't sell something computer said they didn't have. at the farm I hang out at was a Mack transmission ( 10 speed ? ) .was going to take it before it was gone. went back last week ; it's gone either buried or scrapped. complete bell housing/ mounts . trying not to pack rat.

    I have always been a firm believer in the repurpose technic. the newer generation seems to have the =throw it away and buy new=' nope ... have been called pack rat on a number of occasions. comical how it seems the ones calling me pack rat are the ones knocking on the door asking "hey you have such and such , its late stores are closed ;LOL

    was wondering about the silver dog on hood ; looked at all 49 pictures , can see why, not maxi.
  21. mechohaulic
    if mechanically sound; doesn't look to need a lot . better to see it "all natural" then hiding under paint job. fact it's so weathered could be a sign of neglected maintenance.
  22. mechohaulic
    that method worked for Johnny Cash also;; he got it one piece at a time!!🤣🤣 LOL
  23. mechohaulic
    might not be 5 physically ; can't say the same for mentally. didn't have to change the rest room signs when a 5 yr old pretended either.
  24. mechohaulic
    You knew it was natural asper;;no turbo == YOU were checking to see how many were paying attention to the pictures LMAO
  25. mechohaulic
    ever notice most pictures of "future beings/ grays "they all look the same ; no male/ female stuff. like the generation before:: the Beatles and others with long hair were the "end of the world" . NOT defending any one or thing. at my age don't expect to be here to see much more of these changes . some of the "people" walking around in todays world match the creatures shown on star trex/ and other space shows. LOL👹🤡
