I knew that ; just didn't want to upset the teacher !LMAO ,, not only can't access bottom row of cover bolt with pump in the way ; but gaskets broke major challenge to clean completely the gasket behind injection pump.

appreciate the "days ago " and NOT years ago. I feel younger already. LOL yes we did use clothes PINS to hold lifters when side covers were removed

off pressure switch mounted in line near parking brake valve is what I was referring to when I asked about the removable top dash panel. you can see it from top and it's a cramp to change. remove brake valve knob, loosen valve =still a pain to access even with plastic air lines.

thanks for replies , but "box badly scratched " : at this point adds to confusion. was box #1 scratched and replaced ?? is there a problem with PS pump; does it have a changeable filter ? if so did you change and inspect filter for contamination? gear /rotary PS pump failing contaminating system?? without visual hands on inspection ; let's hope someone having similar unit chimes in . -
seems rarely do you find someone saying " it's been sitting here tooo long, get it out of here for $?????. ". as you say parts individual sold bring in more $$$ all the history/ unavailable else where parts gone to scrap yard for couple bucks. looook at the topic biggest Mack ever built. had not been for individual concerned for history; the 100 tonner would torched by now.

I've seen people complain of steering box problems only to learn it was the u-joint on the steering column bad. not trying to be a pain - in - a== ; like going to a dr saying "I don't feel good" a lot of questions follow attempting to narrow the problem .
-
what was it 's problem and why/ who disassembled it ?looking for what. can you use the vin and located /purchase the proper box ?

join the "crowd" . thinking of finding full time job so I can rest. only situation is knees don't cooperate much . now I'm volunteered to baby sit 3-4 days a week !! 10 am= 2:30/3 pm . what can I expect to get done with those mid day hrs ???LOL -
one pictured is what was on truck after slight adaptation and didn't work in what way ? hard steer/ no steer ? did anyone put hyd lines on wrong? why was it disassembled ? do you have "original" or other steering box ? I know it's a lot of questions ; BUT not being with the parts/ unit makes it difficult to have correct answer just lots of questions.
-
sure hope a picture or more will follow this topic, old R model ???? vin off the door, any history ,parting out ??? that bad ;it can't be saved for resto by some of the members here. I see topic says '73 ;;that's a good yr to save . possibly one piece hood. transmission ==one stick or two ??
-
a lot more explanation of "it doesn't work " would help. binding/ shimmy/ erratic operation?????? why was it disassembled in the first place ?? or better yet why was it changed over to an "adaptation ", have to say changed to adaptation is a new one for me ::: on a steering box/front end !!!!! NO ADAPATION . right parts for safety,

after time you give up on the term vacation ; it becomes "my time off " is busier than when working " . also as you get older the ambition level seems to decrease . I'm saving my $$$$$$$ for a plane ticket west to see the finished DM in person. don't take tooo long I'm not getting any younger. LMAO !!! darn near 73 -
the title of WORLD leader has gone to world laughing stock .

they don't have any interest in "improving this place" . the ONLY interest they have is :: what's in it for ME ; should I put on pants with bigger pockets to fill. sorry Kids.

Mack most certainly did have twin stick cab overs. H models had with others a twin stick duplex.

he's NOT slipping! this was his way of testing who is paying attention . after joey retires, He's going to be a teacher in a technical school for mechanical studies. this "slip "was just setting format for teacher to students.

does this unit have a trolley valve on steering column ? brake pedal(treadle valve) floor mounted ?? is the pedal and roller working freely ? this issue sounds to be electrical not mechanical ; don't ask/don't know.
-
'79 ,should be a brown dash having top panel held by 4 screws ??? do you have yellow parking brake (must have ) ,remove top dash panel to see parking brake valve. seems to me some had an air valve (brake lights on when parking brakes applied. low air small white plastic having one wire which completed circuit ground on firewall as earlier posted .. there may have been an update on brake valve == 1x3/4 white plastic with 2 wires. Another post having the ; wish I could see it in person! actual brake light switch should be on the treadle valve it self. 2 in diameter /2wires

It's not "so old" = it's called past dated . be careful how using the phrase :: so old. LOL -

in the day I have installed a number of the small bulldog on "rookie rods" . had a few "in stock "in personal inventory and gave them away when moving took place. the plastic models; B model service manuals; and so much more given / thrown away !! where's the crystal ball when you need it ???
-
once again it's proven " never too old to learn something new!!"... what was always called a fender guide is now known as a "rookie rod "" LOL. have to admit name rookie rod makes a lot of sense. I considered them more of a decoration.

FA505 kingpins
mechohaulic replied to Coulton's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
unfortunately , looks as though your back to "square one" . kit you purchased can't be used . steering system isn't anything to modify . based on picture of original pin, the ugly pitted section fits the axle. not major issue IF THEY HAD TO BE REUSED . bushing ends aren't totally a loss. still need correct bushing . entire proper kit.
