    was never that difficult in a B model . speedo dont work broken cable. so challenging for an ole man to believe technology is a positive . mechanically speaking of course.

    there are many ways to restore the 5th wheel. depends on the extent of restoration and $$$$ willing to spend. wheels off and parts available ;; do a rebuild. far as the tag carefully remove it so blaster can get behind the tag. otherwise rust/scale behind it. permanent install can be accomplished by ALL the methods suggested.

    I find myself in that situation;; I want total verification before any physical contact. surgery hides ole adam. crocodile dundee did it the right way . one hand quick search, end up with handful next hand does the punching.

    glad I stopped beer drinking years ago. hope they don't screw up Jack Daniels bottles

    hope you have a steady hand to repaint the black letters and border on the fontaine tag. not too shiny on the alum. it's an ident tag not hood emblem

    comical how these big companies try to jump on the band wagon for popularity and sales disregarding majority feelings. and it backfires. for a transgender in sports =I'm totally against. someone wants to chance going in opposite bathroom :: brave or real dumb. walking through parking lot while back, I says to wife"see the blonde that just passed"? yea why ?? I said she had a bigger bulge in her pants then me ! LOL

    don't understand how it became a top head liner. bathrooms/ sports / beer cans? the parts you are BORN with should be the determining factor which bathroom/ sports you connect with.

    Sorry to hear of the loss of Your Grandpa. think it's one of many articles Mack marketed. I have a Mack small mirror with handle and a few other items .many things I gave away. had large selection of Bulldog hat pins .going through boxes weeks ago found huge Mack belt buckle.

    NOT ME !!! LoL sled pulling big rigs / old farm tractors are the best. not so much the million dollar "farm tractors" with 4-5 engines. the ole farmer taking time from the fields, to compete with other farmers. classic cars drag racing was a way out for the hero service men and women of our country to relive stress.

    how worn out is the pin slot /jaws. rebuild time ?? before blast and paint. can't see good the 2in cross shaft end square for ware.

    long round head rivets you can tread back side and install nuts/locks.. will look original.

    sad state of affairs in this country. power and greed over rules common sense. anheuser lost billions ; anyone check the CEO pay/ bonus? southwest air was a total screw up months ago CEO got huge bonus. can of beer doesn't need a personality on it. know we are in big trouble when a vice -pres is chosen by how many more votes will I get by putting her there. take the border walls down so more votes come over.

    tried to cover my ass with reply by stating "top bar WAS heavier". bottom cross bar use to be 1 or 1 1/4 angle .. top supports came through they were 1 in (???)HD wall pipe threaded ends ( small version of a tie rod). .

    as is written: opinions are like ass--oles = everyone has one, from my mechanical aspect: I started on Macks , when changing to Baskin which ran 318/350 DD it was going from one learning class to another. knew nothing of DD . fortunately the mechanic at Baskin was one of the best teachers. after yrs of trial and error. I was able to learn how to build/ set up a DD. to get the rack perfect in the flip was a pride I learned. same as transmissions have there proper place so do 4 cycle vs 2.. none are better then others ; all have down falls
  15. mechohaulic
    OK 🙃

    drag links had a rebuild kit /spring: two 1/2 moon caps =one having pin to go on spring end, some where a kit with large snap ring ; thought that was HD tie rod ends?
  17. mechohaulic
    don't remember those being rebuildable. #22 in picture a snap ring ? minds drawing a blank (again).
  18. mechohaulic
    Mack can't have everything (although it does )::LOL Mack was built for HD workers . want a pretty / smooth ride ;; think it's call petercar .. LMAO.
  19. mechohaulic
    the top bar IS there for support. it's a heavier = or was heavier bar made to take some stress pressure unlike the lowers .
  20. mechohaulic
    in the Mack days I had a U model which did basically same thing. days before computers/ modules etc. chased it at least three times on rode calls. driver had a timed delivery. never found cause. did all the above and then some. final deal== I gave driver a wrench ; he kept priming it to keep going. best guess for me was a hair line crack in suction side ?
  21. mechohaulic
    high hopes you get one running, it's a sound way better then todays electronic stuff. like Matt's B-73 there will be many up & downs to the building process but well worth it in the end. 😁

    time seems to take its toll on just about everything (and ever body). no matter what "preservatives" taken. 20 minutes I'm on my way to physical therapy. sure hope it works ; next step the knife if it don't. 😱
  23. mechohaulic
    when you mentioned a P&W was a donor , didn't expect it to be in abandon condition. still should be quite a few good parts or fix it as a runner. have seen units on here or else where in worse shape .
  24. mechohaulic
    with total respect Sir , you better be very cautious about any more descriptions of your Wife! 🤣 She can drive/weld/has a trike '' won't discuss how pretty ;;now Her truck has a Mack bulldog 😇 just sayin LMAO

    Connecticut required two (2) plates -front/ back , I have the ct plate rear and big T/ tenn plate on front. would go back in heart beat; maybe not heart beat. have to be cautious now a days how i use those heart beats.
