    Nice truck ,Your spoke hubs are a Mack thing not only stronger than budd rims but they also let more air flow around the brake drum which is very important, to change them out you would halve to locate some hubs that fit your spindle look for the axle number and check bearing numbers to make sure the hubs will fit there are a lot of variations out there changing out the front axle is also difficult with spring center spacing and steering knuckle offset for the drag link to the pittman arm

    Make sure all air tanks are drained I have found some so full of oil and water nothing would work also some air tanks are divided vertically so both ends need drained

    I have seen a Dynatard removed and replaced with a Jake brake on a four valve engine I did not do that job so I don't know the details.

    That looks like all of the 335 cumins I worked on never seen one with a aftercooler that was the 350 small cam and later
  14. D-Day
    I found a 5000 and never thought about it but it is interesting the cab is all fiberglass just got it for the 220 Cummins parts

    A friend sent me this picture from South Bend Washington I lived there when I was a kid it appears to be an E model Mack the writing at the bottom says it’s 100 feet long my father in law cut timber for years and he cut a couple trees for building keels in ships and they hauled them this way

    This flywheel housing measures 5 7/8 for over all depth and the triplex here the bell housing measures about 8 1/4 also the input shaft protrusion is 3 and 1/2 inches beyond the bell housing you can also see how far the flywheel is protruding
  17. D-Day
    I have always thought the flywheel housing depth was the same it was the bell housing and input shaft that changed in dimension for single or double plate clutch but I can measure it there are a couple of old 13 speed road rangers here small size with air actuated clutch brake they had a little push button on the shifter the bell housing and input shaft is where it gets tricky to locate the right input shaft length and bell housing depth with Mack side mounts

    I have one I think it's on a 711 not sure it's the same but it did have a twin disc push type clutch and the starter is on the right, I am quite a good distance from NE Ohio in western NC

    It was common in the 70's and 80's in Washinton state Idaho and Canada to find trucks with an extra gearbox generally a 3 or 4 speed auxillary added for working in the mountains usually made by Brownlipe before Spicer took over they were called a Brownie by the truck drivers

    My favorite vintage plate could be Italian or maybe Swedish but I think Italian I love it it was everywhere in the late seventies early eighties I have not seen one in a long time found this one at a friend’s shop a couple months ago perfect for an Italian Mack

    I can not remember the exact location of the brake light switch for a DM of that year but its common for the spring to break inside of these little switches allowing the contact points to stick together same thing with the low air pressure switch

    The 750 on the right probably had the bevel square seal because it has the flat top lid that seal is obsolete but a little silicone is fine to reseal and the later square seal works as well
