For the last few years champion plugs have been not so good so I have been using auto lite Ngk and even bosch
-
I finally got to order these they were shipped promptly and when I got them out of the box, well you can see they are excellent thanks for all the time spent on these mine were missing now just a few more things to find
-
Long gone unfortunately these are some of my favorites I saw these working when I was little they were awesome Weyerhaeuser had some at camp Baker when mt st Helen’s blew in 1980 I know I posted this picture before but its a good one

Excellent vintage video from the early 60's from washington state and oregon state the large oval shaped tank behind the cab is a water tank for cooling the brakes it takes about 10-15 pounds air pressure to push the water out to cool the drums thanks for finding that and posting

Nothing better than a good pie especially mince meat with venison but it’s hard to eat while driving your favorite machine it gets all over your pants

Also check the engine wiring harness for oil we had a problem with oil pressure sending units pushing oil into the harness and cutting the power to the injectors they would not get a signal with the oil in the wiring sometimes it would start sometimes not -

Oh no, what do you know that grill guard we had an exact duplicate someone left at the shop and no one new anything about it and it went to scrap last year must have been a local add on for those trucks from that time period it pays to do a little hoarding -
A picture would be good to make sure that it is not a brake relay valve of some type old trucks have a lot of unusual modifications over they're life span
-
It may be a quick release valve I hate it when I find a quick release valve that someone put in to split the brake line down to the service brakes they can stick open while driving and then you have no brakes there should just be a T there, quick release valves are more suitable for the parking brake if equipped with the bigger double brake chambers
-
That is it nothing else sounds like it thanks we have a 59 international with a 220 cummins and red was the color as well I also remember a TD24 I used a long time ago it was yellow outside but the engine was red it was a great machine similar to a D-8 cat back to the E-6 thing go forward and build a bad E-7 and leave the E-6 to the past
-
International painted all engines red it was there thing post some pictures of your 1693 if you can I have not seen one in a long time It was a sad day when they expired as for the E-6 mods I would not go there either save it for someone who appreciates it for what it is and move to the E-7
-
I also have worked on several of the 343 and 1693 we used them in the big skagit yarders and also 988 cat front loader not uncommon to see 30,000 hours and up with no problems they were great.
-
I did post a picture of the Foden truck on here some time ago it had a Rolls Royce diesel and I had to repower it I used an E-6 350 and an 8LL it is still right hand drive and we use these 2 yarders for steep slope logging in the mountains I have not done any ski lift work but the cable splicing knowledge is the same
-
Stumps behind the yarder are cut tall with notches to keep the guyline from slipping off same for the tail hold for the skyline you can see better here the 4 guylines on the left and the skyline on the right
-
Sometimes we use this little Christy yarder its small enough you can put it on the edge of some steep ground where space is tight
-
I don't have any good pictures I'll get some next time it's set up maybe try video
-
Reworked the guyline shives and a little welding on the top of the tower should be logging the next skyline unit shortly
-
Ductile iron housings those are nice no warping, heavy duty is good
-
They look great are the post's in the same place or will we need to redrill to fit thanks for this labor of love it's been a struggle and we appreciate it
-

B-73 Restoration
D-Day replied to mattb73lt's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Wow look at that what an awesome job years in the making -
Not sure what valve you have there are several different ones but this one is attached to the tank with a 1/2 inch pipe the port on the left is the service brake and the one in the center is charging the tank when the air is disconnected it applies the brakes in an emergency
