At my age I first saw him in  the comedy roles. It's something how seeing him on something older , you can't look at the guy and not still think about the Naked Gun stuff, or Airplane .

Or Dracula dead and loving it. Another good one.

What they were originally for?

Just a guess, but probably to put on casting patterns. I think he says they're a soft metal ( lead? ). It would make sense if it was like the oval on the transmission to bend to the curvature of the pattern. Probably from when they still used wooden patterns on some castings.

Chuck Roser, Roser Enterprises has them. Apparently not too many left.

Very nice, though I'm kinda sad to see you remove the mixer body. I would keep it all original as is.

But it's your money.

Agreed.

I see lots of good parts.

I've made offers on so many of those projects its ridiculous. A few of those had the excuse "no, that was dad's tractor that he bought from 2 states away. Hes gone now but nobody wants it. So it's just going to go for scrap." Even AFTER I made an offer with cash in hand. Still dont understand that one.

It's been awhile since I purchased my single axle landscape trailer. I didnt know a permanent plate existed. Guess I'll need to line up an inspection place while I'm looking for a trailer. And no, that's not a bad price to swallow. And the inspection cant be that expensive. But given how much I'll be using the trailer may require more thought. Or maybe I'll need to go to more shows to make it worthwhile LOL!

THANKS GUYS!

Tossing around the idea of getting a SMALL single axle 5th wheel lowboy to pull behind my B61. I looked on the Penndot website under the antique registration form and see nothing that says the antique cannot be a trailer. Is anyone running antique plates on a, say, 1960s trailer? I would use it occasionally to haul my 1926 Chevy to a show or maybe some antique engines to a show. The truck is insured through Haggerty and they say they have ZERO problems with pulling a trailer with my antique Mack with my personal toys on it. Anyone have some insight?

Thanks

Frank

I would still like to know where the wrecker is located. No mention of location.

I wouldn't have sold the truck for that price either. That looks like a real clean truck and trailer, and full trailer capability on the truck too. I think I have close to that price in my truck and it doesn't look that nice.

I advise you to try the Painting Services Singapore team. These people do their job really well. They painted my whole house, the fences and probably everything was in my yard to paint. I have no complaints about them, the products they used are all qualitative, they worked clean, fast and at a very good price. Before starting the project, the company came to see first what to decorate and even advised me what would be best to choose to fit perfectly in the decor. These people are real professionals.

I really should have used these people. My choice of curtains in the rear window of my B really clash with the chrome dog up front. Not to mention the color of the 5th wheel....let's not go there.

Google qualitative. You can decide where "dorothyda" is from.

Dont make any plans to visit the Mack plant again this year. Sounds like they're not having the open house.

Just curious as to where these trucks are located. 

Soft flame on a torch played around the area? I dont believe the mesh is fine enough to catch fire but should withstand the torch flame and debris flame. Then an air hose to backwash. If theres pieces of fabric or insulation then this probably shouldnt be used.

Looks like the reman pump is the better way to go. Bearings themselves are close to the cost of the rebuilt pump.

no one has any choices but chain stores,or dealership

Same here. 3 chain auto places literally within 100 yards of each other.

Anybody have part numbers for the replacement bearings and seal for the water pump. I think I have a bad pump so I want to rebuild it and rule it out.

I'm getting air entrained in the antifreeze that is not overflowing the filler neck at 2000rpm. No water in the pan or oil in the water. Antifreeze stays green when settled.

Thanks everyone! 

Why polish it? It's got beautiful patina IMO.

Son of a gun! Mystery solved! Thanks JBushneck. I wasn't convinced that it was a Mack part, and now I really dont feel bad about making it into something else. I used a different bracket to attach the trailer valve but will now be modifying this bracket as it will work and look better. Thanks again JBushneck!

So the creeper that I am, if you look up the sign place in billings mt, the IBEW office is next door. That looks like the parking lot the truck is in. But yes it looks like the tire is flat-ish. Probably went in to pay his union dues.

im hoping to find some takeoffs from container chassis,,,they use 10-20 im thinking you also have 20 inch spokes.....im not sure...bob

My spokes measure 21 3/8 across. Or more specifially the inside of the open rim. The tires on it now are 22s. The rear was apparently changed to a new-er rear. The speedo is off by about 15% even with the small gearbox.

Due to cost the popular tire is a 22.5

But apparently that would mean changing the hubs also iffin you have spokes. Pilots may be different. D/k

Thanks everybody for your knowledge. As suggested I'll be dropping the 22s and looking for 24.5 rims and tires. I have a few leads in my area. Hoping one will pan out. 

Frank

But just to confirm, the 24.5 tires will not fit on the 22" rim?
