  1. Saw this earlier this week not sure if it’s from coal country but I like the tri drive setup Hendrickson walking beams with the third drive axle cantilevered off of the second drive axle
  2. There was a thread on here from a couple of years ago titled engine size in 65 Mack B53 and he posted some nice pictures proof that the tip turbine will fit under the hood, I do know the front crossmember/engine mount is different also another issue is if you have a single plate clutch with the short bell housing you would want to change to a two plate clutch with a little stronger transmission to handle the higher torque rating and you would have to redrill the rear mounts through the frame relocating them farther to the rear
  3. I have repaired and replaced numerous aluminum frames most were KW and Peterbilt used as log trucks the extreme rough roads would brake the rails vertically near the cab the Mack rails I have only seen small horizontal cracks around the rear suspension other than scale or delaminating as some call the rot where it contacts the steel if its always been on the pavement its probably not a concern easy to check with a good light
  4. Also it would be a good idea to pull the wheel off and measure the splined shaft older columns were 1 1/8” splines newer shaft splines dropped to 1” not sure about 2016
  5. I am lucky to have found part of this B 755 that ran the Al-Can back in the day just parts now but it must’ve been a rough trip running that route

    This was built at a local shop and we are grateful for it they built an improved version and that’s how we got this rear steer lowboy sure makes it easier to get around when you have miles of tight turns and alot of switchbacks the driver at the back will suffer dusty conditions but
  7. I have not seen 44 rears set up with soft bushings before but I can see it would not be to bad with a good set of polyurethane bushings if your not loading heavy regularly and maxing out the trunion shaft is the same diameter for the 38 and 44 but the axle housings can be heavier for the 44,000 check the rear right side of the housing for number code stamp for the axle housing rating

    He drives this model T and the model A around town daily they get used a lot always good to see him coming down the road
  9. Try John Chalmers 717-334-8709 Cashtown PA. he is in your area is super knowledgeable and has a lot of hard to find parts he should know of anything in existence and if you need anything else from a 711 I have a parts engine for spares
  10. The 864 was finished in 1972 and the ET 1000 did not come out until 1978 so a look at the numbers is important but it all looks good

    Helping a friend this weekend put the rear end back in a good ford A model sure is nice to see how all of this is engineered it’s amazing what worked a hundred years ago and it still works great
  12. Just forward of the starter on the edge of the block above the oil pan is where the identification numbers are stamped I think cab over engines were stamped at the right rear
  13. It doesn't look bad so I would say they should be able to cut it realign and weld it back up sometimes the housing will get twisted bad enough that it becomes very difficult to get the differential in and out especially back in just another thing to check before repair or replace decision is made.
  14. It looks like the Spindle is bent where it is attached to the axle housing I have seen them bent before the older ductile iron housings had a replaceable spindle press fit with a retaining bolt on the back of the housing but all of the others are welded it can be repaired or replace the housing.
  15. Just got a message from the local ATHS that the truck show in Cherokee tomorrow just got moved to 1501 Acquoni Road Cherokee for what ever reason
  16. Thanks for the truck driver point of view on these things some of us who have never driven do not know these interesting things about trucking if you work on the sidelines its hard to imagine how it all works as a mechanic its not always easy to figure out the drivers point of view
  17. was just checking how did the electric B mod project come out
  18. I only remember them as part of the econodyne series especially the 440 hp dont know of any maxidyne E9 but its possible the higher hpE9 was classified differently and then renault took over
  19. Hope to see that Brockway looking as good as the H model you do some nice work there
  20. I was lucky enough to see the Mack finished and it is excellent I think I have an Extra turbo for that 335 if you need one, dam things are getting hard to find fast
  21. Also Check the ground connections between the battery and frame also coming off the engine the point where the wire end connector is crimped on to the wire as well a little corrosion between the wire and end connector hard to see but problematic
  22. Just remembered a friend bought this last month B61 with 673 I will try to get some better pictures when he starts working on it
  23. Glad to see you back on again this is a 65B755 with factory shepherd power steering box you’re steering column looks good for the mod if you need measurements or specs for the sector shaft length I can get that the frame mod is not good but you can fix that I will try to get some more pictures from a B model that was converted to a 711 may help a bit
  24. Watt's has the 40 and 50 gallon square tanks B mod. type and the brass caps
