pin hole/leak in line from governor to unloader won't let compressor "unload".

BIRTHDAY BEST from Connecticut.😃

another just passing it on : auction Saturday =4/30/22 . located in Neapolis ,OH. listed in auctionzip by Whalen realty & auctions. titled under John Deere tractors-toys-engine auctions. a B61T with QUAD looks not bad shape hooked to era proper trailer. also a number of Mack items= first gear etc.

right on with the "piston ring" sealing factor. three pieces went together and sealed with the steel rings.

i can't get the proper picture. one unit has a "hole "in the frame behind the box to adjust rack & pinion. manual ? i see the effects of the old age memory situations ; don't remember last nights dinner and seem to be forgetting yrs ago things also. also there is a combo that input shaft goes in=out alot if you turn steering wheel with unit off.

'66 DM with manual steering ;; don't remember one.

racking the mental picture section of my brain. the manual box had the side adjuster, big sheppard had the adjusting screws top and bottom ; seems those two adjusters were for the pressure relief settings

outer bearing ? meaning out put shaft bearing not the steering shaft u-joint? 7+- that's considerable play have you tried the fluid/ filter change yet. DM - sheppard box with outer rack and pinion adjuster.

i 've heard stories of trucks deadline/ fined due to idiot lights not working. as inspector mentioned." if the light is there it has to work" doesn't matter if it's one of 10 on the roof or 20+on the body. reality was another ball breaking way state made money.

in the mack days, there was a construction company who's dirtiest truck looked like it just came out of a museum. mack had a recall on the axle spiders . basically they had to be removed and swapped .left to right and vise versa. cams were opening opposing tire rotation and chattered. the owner and his son stood over my shoulder watching axles being removed. as was told to me "we had just removed 8 tires and REPAINTED the rims". truck was brand new. beyond spotless inside and out. a DM685sx. how do you pull axle caps/axles with not a drop of oil on the rims. a lot of rags /pan . no could not tell them sit in lounge, they had a lot of pull with management/owner. clean is good; job nerve racking

i'm all in favor of a clean shiny truck , dump;; tractor or what ever. things all over have changed drastically through the yrs. dumps around here have the shiny alum bodies, tanks, couldn't count all the lights , etc. the thrill is great at the start if you are only a company driver. after a while the thrill might wear off. still have to clean /polish. my question many times is " how do you haul rock and stone in that?

fleets ran them 1- cheaper due to less parts involved ;2- didn't get right side of trailers dirty with soot=== before computers and emissions , clean was important to many fleets.

by now everything has been changed. the intake are regular hollow tubes , exhaust push rods are 3 times heavier due to they are "solid" rods made to take pressure. there is the possibility with all the new computerize technology they don't use heavier rods. my statements are based on when fred flintstone built things and i worked for him;;😁

worked for me. wife ranting on about me on here; so i read your post REAL slow. LOL. besides i found it very interesting . how some updates are done has been know to be challenging.

can remember when mack came out with the dynatard; what a joke / pain in ass. changed more exhaust push rods then i want to count. mack started out using both original in/ ex push rods. the pressure on exhaust rods so bad it was bending them. mack went to solid exhaust rods finally.

just signed out and saw your post;; had to sign back in to thank you for update. now i can sleep tonight ;LOL. couldn't remember how the jake got oil supply. forgot the o-ring fitting went top of rocker assembly. back in the day joke was "made in japan"-junk.. after day of class at jacobs engine brake and seeing how the Japanese new owners saved the jake operation i was impressed. old way was spend day making hundreds of units. then check them. one bad they were all bad and thrown out. new owners had random pulls from assembly line. bad one found stop the line and make corrections.

that's where confusion came about. unit looked familiar to what i remember, the pic with 90 degree fitting is different. Thanks for reply/ update.

once again never too old to learn new. have installed jakes; even trip to factory here in CT yrs ago when they were made here. question JOJO ; the braided line, is that how units are oil fed today;; no more o-ring fitting coming from underside?

quite surprised this week end watched some of the mecum auto auctions, seem to me prices were low/reasonable. could also be a bad sign of the times. a $200K bentley ??when new sold this weekend for 30K. I'm a "66 shelby GT-350 (blue with white 10in stripes) man myself. by '67-68 they started with the slopey nose

like I've said before;; for my little grandkids I feel sad for; they didn't do anything wrong. I can't stand seeing signs "black lives matter" ALL lives matter , pull your own weight and work for what you have and i don't give two sh-ts your color.

never did the oven cleaner, imagine it's trial and error depending on how much / thick letters etc are. first trip cleaning doesn't do 100% , a second soaking safe? how close to the 20 mins +-

now why would biden have to do different then most before him,,, did you forget we put the money in his paycheck;; LOL . as ALWAYS the working man gets screwed.
