1- if the unit was running then shut down that MIGHT eliminate the critters involvement. locked up from the get go ; blame critters. 2- "mechanics" unsure of what they are doing pulling unit :which may have parking brake not maxis unless changed over 3- when in doubt drop drive shaft , then manually attempt engine turning with socket/ bar go forth then go backth.. 4- possible critter involve on a B pull intake manifold or AT LEAST check intake pipe.. 5- anyone check see if it ran out of fuel / dirty fuel filter. 6 - i'd go with one issue (shut down) complicated by lack of knowledge by "mechanics. 7- pulling valve covers by unsure "mechanic " could result in a bigger problem. 8 I was going with a seized starter till it was mentioned starter had been removed. 9- I have seen a spicer clutch loose it's wedge lock and screw things up :: dime to doughnut that's not this issue.

THANK YOU for YOUR SERVICE ;SIR

doesn't appear to be a painted sign ? anyone save the sign if it was tarp ??

but is she a true blonde ??? only her hairdresser knows for sure.

they are NOT issues but future challenges !! on a nice very hot sunny day when neighbor has all their windows open and wind in right direction ;; start the Dm with intake pipe off and spray some ATF fluid in intake so exhaust will send smoke their way. only for short time. when they call law enforcement . you want exhaust clear and clean !! "don't know what they are talking about officer , look it runs clean " LOL

after enlarging the picture, can see the double dibit marks some one put on towards top right side. realigning is important.

some one lost the original set screws or couldn't find proper allen wrench for install. some where under all the rust there should be a small arrow on the arm and steering output shaft. easier to just mark arm to shaft location , mis alignment the truck will steer one way more then other.

actually a hole in floor was common back then for the wheel standers. not the little red wagon . one of the funny cars back then had the driver further back ;a hole (window) through the floor was needed for him to see. another thing from early days before computers. was more exciting to watch a vehicle -that resembled cars of the day go 150 mph operated by man then todays 300mph aerodynamic plastic cars run basically by computer.

thought Bob's DM was a '66 which would make it the two set screw version. can't place the "last style" ;; but that's OK - don't expect to be involved with one.

THANK YOU for the service manual. two set screws were more common(early) ; the large (5/8th ? allen ) did wake some brain cells, don't remember exact application.

also it depends on the box the DM has. a sheppard outside frame pitman had the two screws. inside frame ?? closing in on 74 I was still able to keep up with the youngsters loading hay and shaving on flatbed today after all day of sanding/grinding!! so maybe mind cells are off a little.

don't mess with me that way.; it's been a very long day of sanding/grinding .LMAO

clue me in Sir 🤪;; on a DM600 pitman arm memory seems to be two 5/16 set screws on back side of pitman arm to which main purpose is to secured pitman arm to steering box output shaft ?? when box removal is main objective the arm need not be disconnected from pitman ????

don't forget to back off the set screws on pitman arm. a good jaw puller

years back I had an opportunity to purchase a (39?) FK dump. was located in gravel pit in RI. 12/24rubber . excellent shape = didn't go any where except in the pit. original 220 cummins was replaced with a mack engine. checked around to be told ;"you won't find the engine ". only way to move truck was on trailer and being over 9 ft wide ::I passed on it.

I'm here racking my brain cells trying to remember CORRECTLY the proper system. yes I was involved when systems were brand new ;; which also means the long range problems didn't show up yet. the air filter was a two section set up . tip turbine air came from ??? oil bath with 2 in wire screen removal able prescreen ;; didn't change that many tip turbines due to blade failure .

model of your choice;;; SIR! the more the merrier. fortunately Mack has enough different models to keep the series going.one of the best parts of these coins is you can't put them on the spokes of a bicycle like we did as kids not knowing we were destroying a baseball card worth thousands of dollars today, LOL, build a set of coins today will be the best present to our great grand children in years to come.

THANK YOU for that picture. the Man and His machine. could share a drink and dam near shed a tear for the memories and stories related to Mr Moffo and his fleet. from a midnite "road call" while at Mack and Mr Moffo was a waterbury Police officer for a lady in distress to a water wagon pete broke on road side which repair (at no charge ) didn't need a computer or wrecker to repair. the good days gone by (forever)sadly.

I have found that "following our hearts" and later the "regrets "came when the sentence ended with I DO.

heck if your only off by a birthday list !!! I've been told (by a few and more lately) that I'm way off by more than just a birthday list !!!LOL don't want to be the bearer of bad news but looks like your catching up to us (OLDer folk) hope You had the best day and you spent some of it with that pretty Lady ; one that's a little on the trashy side -- burgers and fries lady. LOL🍺🍔🤣

or it shows there are people out there having money and time to sort and e-bay to triple their profit.

3rd lot of interest was the Mack wall clock; 1 outbid it went for $75'oo I had the bid on 399 which i didn't wait to watch figuring the numbers would be high-- wrong again. checked back after only to see it went for $150.oo. all the early Mack bulldog magazines from 30's-40's . 1 -by then everyone money ran out; 2 no one knew what they were. they were the first version of what became the bulldog magazine yrs later. those magazine would have been full of info.

It's not mine to pass judgment; right or wrong :: agree or disagree . old man like myself, never had to deal with these issues. had an older cousin to which everyone knew was gay. attended family functions with his partner. no one condemned . treat them same as others. guess I'd rather see the rainbow flags waving then a group going down the street waving(shooting) AR 15's.

don't think that's the picture I had in my mind growing up when some one went "bareback riding."

have been monitoring the auction ; there are some people out there with one heck of a lot of money. lot 62 =Mack literature went for $800.oo not counting premium !!!
