    So I can put the switch in one of the trailer air line fittings that are presently plugged?
  2. skydawg
    I got a new brake light switch,connected one post to +batt,the other post to the brake light post on the ten post terminal behind the cab.Now the brake lights come on when air pressure builds,without touching the brake pedal.So there`s air pressure closing the switch when there shouldn`t be any pressure there.I had to disconnect a wire from the switch after shutting the engine off,the lights will stay on as long as there`s pressure in the air tank.I don`t think the new switch is bad,when I installed it the light only came on when I shorted the terminals,with no air pressure in the lines.Any help is appreciated,thanks.The truck is neg ground.

    So the plunger just threads into the pump,no other parts?
  4. skydawg
    Thanks for that,Mechohaulic.I only have 1 fuel filter,don`t know if the other one got ditched along the way.
  5. skydawg
    Is there another way to prime the pump when the plunger isn`t there?
  6. skydawg
    I`ll try again.My ENDT673 engine doesn`t have a priming plunger on the fuel(lift) pump,just a knurled cap.I haven`t seen this in other pics of this motor.Can anyone tell me if this was the norm in 1961? Thanks.

    The fuel pump on my 1961 B61 doesn`t have a priming plunger on the fuel pump,just a knurled cap.I think it`s the original engine.The number on the timing cover is ENDT673-74-10.Is this the right setup? Thanks.

    I want to install half moon fenders on my single axle B model.What would be a minimum distance to allow for suspension travel.Bobtail use only.Thanks.

    I`ll try mineral spirits.

    I got a bit of water and several ounces of tan goop from my B air tank.I know that shouldn`t be there,but I suspect it had been years since it was last drained.Any good method of cleaning?I was thinking of repeated acetone pours of maybe 8 oz,until it comes out clean.Thanks.

    Can you provide any STEMCO contact info? Thanks.

    In a word...WOW!

    That`s a brake light switch.
  14. skydawg
    How do you stall it when this happens?
  15. skydawg
    I need a good used or NOS switch.The local Mack dealer laughed when my truck was a 1961 model.Thanks.

    I`m trying to find full radius (half circle) fenders that will be a good fit for these low profile tires which are 36" dia. Hogebuilt(51" long),and Merritt(48" long) are way too outsized for these tires.I guess they`re not as common as the 11/70R-24.5 tires but I`d think there must be some demand for smaller fenders.

    So where would you run a wire for the 12v source?
  18. skydawg
    There`s a 10 post terminal strip at the bottom of the cab,driver`s side,none of the posts are hot.This doesn`t seem right,as the trailer umbilical was connected there.
  19. skydawg
    There`s no voltage to that wire.So that switch is missing a tab for a second wire? I don`t see any loose wire that would have gone to the switch.Could you recommend a source for a new switch? Thanks to all who replied.

    Ok,I have front turn sigs and flashers.The column switch doesn’t light w/ the signals. The brake light switch has only one wire,though it looks like there is the remains of another post.I’ll try to post a pic.
  21. skydawg
    Thanks,I see the air switch.To test,I need to start and build pressure,then have someone press the pedal and I should see 12v at the wires? Did your truck have rear turn signals from the factory?
  22. skydawg
    There are 2 wires to the lights w/ dual filament bulbs.The trailer air lines and electric plug were removed in the past.The signal switch on the column looks to be original.So in 1961 they didn`t have rear signals on tractors? I`ve only had it a short time,didn`t get any history,the seller was just flipping.It`s a single axle,ENDT673,Triplex.

    Hi,my 1961 B61 has only rear running lights.The bulbs are good(brake filaments).So this truck has just the 6 circuit breakers in the glovebox and no other fuses? Is the brake light switch air operated?The turn sigs don`t work either,so I was hoping for bad bulbs to cure both problems,but no dice.Thanks for any help.
  24. skydawg
    Is it normal for my truck to have to build air pressure after sitting for a couple of days? It`s a new-to-me 1961 B61. Thanks.

    That`s a good looking visor...anyone know who made it?
