located side road off south Lenord St , right side before Waterbury Sand and Gravel . ??? Waterbury Equipment up street from Waterbury Mack did some of their repairs -
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.

lookin good ; both shop and KB . -
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. -
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.
-
were they out of adjustment ????
-
problem solved 😀.. cann I get an AMEN !!!!
-
air suspension will also account for air dropping. if it is spring suspension I might have to consult with Yukon Jack at this point.
-
does this trailer have air ride suspension ??? ==1st blast of air brakes setting/ second blast of air is suspension dropping.
-
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.
-
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.
-
whole purpose of the yellow exhaust line is just that;; exhaust the system air when red button pulled out.
-
ok setting the brakes not releasing. that's not bad. check brake adjustment also.
-
not going back to first post; but I thought it stated air leaking out yellow line when the red button was pushed in to release brakes ?? air leak exhausting slightly less dropping from 80 to only 110.
-
new dash valve/ new brake can ; air consumption (not air loss-there's a difference. ) not as bad is a positive, seems the air issue is still with trailer. when red button pushed in air movement heard in systems?? did you check brake adjustment ? out of adjustment cans will use more air to completely release. air loss would be a near complete emptying of tank(s). air consumption would be using more then needed == brakes out of adjustment ... just to clarify.
-
hopefully the info can be posted here or I will try to find it. never built a scania/ have worked on them back then, R-400's. 864 's fazing out the new 865/ then the 866's were new. remember driving a new for delivery R-700 / 865 bobtail tractor . dumped the clutch the front axle came off the ground.!!! what a ride and what a sound out the exhaust. LOL
