    In '99, I drove for a construction co. in Maine for only 2 years,, But I drove '77-'97 Mack's... My favorite was the '79 long framed RD tractor, with a tri-axle framed dump... That tranny was so versitile, and multi-speed reverse was very cool for backing on svc roads around the job site.. I also drove the X-107 twin stick.. another multi speed reverse tranny in a tri-axle dump truck.. I learned to respect that tranny... after that --- no more stopping in the middle of the intersection, to start over.. Bullet proof and proven.... It may be slow, but it will Pull!!.. jojo..

    Mack did away with the o-ring... On the liner there is the tall ring(step) around the liner, measure the low groove just outside the circumference of the tall step.. you will use a small amt. of Mack Gray sealant on the shelf in the counter bore to seal in the coolant. the head gasket will take care of the top... jojo

    When I was driving late 70's R models, I learned to count, One One thousand,,,Two... I would double clutch,,, Then On "Two" I would grab the next gear.. It still works for me today... I rarely get to drive a 107 or 2070 anymore.. In youre case a 105.... same-same... Jojo

    I really wish I was there to see it, and hear it fire up!!!! Jojo

    it's all good... i was guessing what you had, when you said 5 spd. i said 105.. The Mack triple countershaft tranny's, were the same in the main box... the added back box changes it up,, with a few exceptions... Jojo. Hope I cleared it up sir..
  10. Joey Mack
    the 105 is very basic, and bullet proof... triple countershaft.. just be patient shifting it... it's no Eaton.. Jojo
  11. Joey Mack
    Mabey you can find one of these... The Mack 107 tranny book is around too... Good luck, Great find.. jojo

    I can tell you this, if it's an internal E.G.R. engine that runs good and you know the maintainance was good, It's a desireable truck... JUst my 2 cents... Jojo
  13. Joey Mack
    what about the axle do you want to know thats not stamped in the carrier housing, (Mack Rear).. or on the data plate on the axle tube, (Eaton rears)? Jojo

    me too... I no longer work at the mack dealer.. I left mid-june 2018.... I printed a boat load of svc info at home and put it in 3 ring binders... Luckily with my Mobile Mechanic business, I am able to avoid MP's and M-Drives... For now.... I hope the pics I sent help Tim... Jojo
  15. Joey Mack
    I know the quality of the pics is poor... I remember being fortunate to find the "legends" still in the truck.. I photocopied them and put them in one of my binders, for later use... it was faster than trying to use "Impact"..LOL! Jojo

    is the tranny an M-Drive? fuse #71 is for the tranny..
  17. Joey Mack
    well somehow, I split the EPDM and the top fuse panel pics... Sorry.. Jojo
  18. Joey Mack
    secondary throttle,, pull it out and twist to lock,, for whatever you need the engine to run up higher.... P.T.O. for example.. Jojo

    I am looking to buy a rear brake drum, the dia. is 15+ inches, hard to read it through the rust....the width of the shoes is 4 1/2".. the drum is 5 5/8" wide on the braking surface. I would also like to find an old parts book, and svc manual... Thanks, Jojo
  20. Joey Mack

  24. Joey Mack
    ok Thomas L, You make good points, I still will study more of what you say,, I see our "Lib" Democrats, not as unifiying, and for the "working man" Sorry ladies... anyway, when you plant a seed, and nurture it, It Will Grow!!!!! Lib's and Progressive's planted seed's.... They will try to MATURE those seed's into...... Full Govt. control....... Jojo
  25. Joey Mack
    bullet proof!.... Parts are still available..... I built one 6 months ago... Do you know how to inspect the engine inside and out? If you are in North Carolina, I will build it for you.... Jojo
