    it's not about being small enough to fit in it based on todays body malfunctions ; more about couldn't bend enough to fit. have to enter my Mojave jeep and her Subaru backwards to get in . then hope the legs follow,

    I know some of the story ' trying to be nice. LOL have to admit the T is just a nice looking unit for what ever size, drove the '59Diamond T wrecker for Mack with gas engine , had the best time. pick up to larger; the T had style.

    "stopped leaking when I set the brakes" == why a puff limiter ??
  6. mechohaulic
    that wouldn't be a valve NORMALLY associated with parking brake system / should be a regulator valve , question is = what system ?? suggestion would be to trace lines best possible, or what valve / switch do you move to make a difference in valve leak.

    went back to square one (2020) , it's a B with 300 engine, that regulator valve could have been installed in a number of systems.

    now start from left and go to right and let us old folk know who is who. LOL sorry been a real long day of grinding/welding
  15. mechohaulic
    best suggestion is to trace the lines as far as possible . the valve can be used in a number of configuration systems.#6 aeroquipt to a 1/2 - 5/8 plastic can be ???

    lucky for them the wheelbase was long enough to fit a decent third axle. moved many battery boxes from side by side to one on top of another to fit a ridiculous baby axle enough to meet the law requirements back then. narrow steer tires and hyd canvas (not a Richards system ).sign of the changing times .

    another "for lack of explanation/words" story = try working at a Mack dealership ,going on almost every road call to hear "why does a Mack dealership have a Diamond T wrecker ?" you just give up trying to give answers. the temptation was there to remove the Diamond T front logo and install a Mack emblem. fortunately with the major help from a great co-worker ++Doug Allen ; we talked management into update the Diamond to a good used B model.
