    Also might stop at the Cozy Inn burger joint while you're in Salina. I always try to stop there if I'm going through,

    Long ways to go for some sprayer booms, what's is it off of? I've always seen Canadians always come to this area to buy equipment that is so worn out I don't see why it would be worth it. The real thinker is that most of the equipment they buy was made in Canada or somewhere north, so why would they come all this way to buy it back?! Good to hear that about our roads but wait till you reach OK then the roads get real bad! While you're in the area you might swing through Pratt and see the park lights, or maybe ride the Wilmore carousel if you really wanting to burn time. Not many exciting things to do around here...

    Doesn't sound like all that much especially with 400 horse and 6.14 ratio. 32,000lbs of water plus whatever trailer is being used should be a cake walk, although liquid transport is tricky on any sort of grade.

    Couldn't agree more. I love their planetary rears! As I understand it Mack had something similar to that for years.

    Couldn't tell you what specific PSI, but if you are testing all 6 injectors and they are close to the same popping pressure then you should be good. Spray pattern is whats most important when testing injectors.

    I don't even like using Crisco seasoning pans anymore, never mind cooking and baking with it. Animal fats the way to go! I know this sounds like something off of The Beverly Hillbillies but raccoon fat is the best if you can find some. Bacon grease would work but its better to find some with no salt in it.

    Fords really the only one of the big 3 still in the 6500 and up class. Freightliner filled up the gap they left behind.

    Sounds fun! I don't know anything about how you would get a license if you're a non citizen. You shouldn't need a CDL, and as far as I understand anything under 26,000 lbs will not require anything but a license. There isn't much regulations on the small stuff In regards to weight.

    Or maybe you could do air and inertia starter

    Ok now I see why you'd need a swivel or universal joint type extension. We've gotten a couple "flexible extensions" before but they seem to be more of a gimmick and twist when you put to much torque on them. The worst bolt removal that I can think of at the moment is the top bolt of the later GM transfer cases. Once you figure out a system of ratchets and swivel extensions its not so bad but figuring it out for the first time without being able to see it is the worst!

    Even a closed ended one?

    Do you think you could get it with a crows foot? I've never taken apart a tip turbine before but I wish the best of luck to you. I know some of the higher horse tip turbine engine had coolant going through them as well, so that would be even more stuff to take apart.

    I would say that if it isn't valve clearance it could be a lifter. There is a cam/lifter cover on the right hand (turbo) side of the engine, that's where I would look next if I was chasing a tick. Post some pictures maybe someone on here can spot something.

    We never had the facilities to hang ours up in the cool. We would get a clean shot through the head then someone would run and quickly cut the jugular while the heart was still beating to get most of the blood out. We would hang it up using a bale bed or hoisted it up through the rafters of a shed to do the quartering. Definitely not professional butchers by any means but man it tastes good. Haven't done hogs yet but my neighbor had one of those large hog processing pots. They seem close to impossible to find.

    $20 to $50 and up can get you a deer tag some years, in my state that is. We really like jerky so that's what we do with ours if we get a deer. I live in beef country so some ranchers will call us if they have a broken leg cow they can't sell. We get beef cheep or free but it takes a lot of work to butcher right. I've been stuck eating a lot of tuna lately, even here meat prices get pretty pricey.

    Do you know how much an original in good condition might be worth? I couldn't even find an original online after some digging. And to think we about chucked the sleeper on our truck when we first bought it! Didn't mean to throw the tread off topic. Hope someone buys them both to keep them together as siblings.

    I saw those two the other day but I'm 6 hours away and don't have anything to haul them. Plus all the unobtanium parts that I might have to track down. Ive got a mercury sleeper on my Transtar but haven't thought much of it. If people are crazy about them maybe I should evict the mice from it...

    Whats wrong with it that it should be replaced? Unless you just want a spare. Most of the starters of that vintage can be rebuilt a thousand times over.

    Most of the older Macks around where I live are manure spreaders. I want to snag one if a nice one comes up, ever since the DEF stuff came out the price of anhydrous has gone through the roof. With 3-5 Tons of manure per acre you can whip any old land into shape. All with Mack power! That will be the dream!
  20. BOBWhite
    Can you still get quality lifters for these? I would hate for some sub par Indian or Chinese lifters to wipe out an irreplaceable cam.
  21. BOBWhite
    Some companies still make rebuild kits for these.

    Whoa what a rig! Welcome to the forum! I look forward to learning more about this Mack. I personally don't know all that much about these early 20s Mack but there is a wealth of knowledge on here you can learn from.

    Is one end closed by metal or rubber? If its rubber and there are no holes at one end (like for a wing nut) I don't see the harm of running a filter with one closed end if it's the same size and fits. Although I do remember our Mh using a two open ended filter. I think there might be a port or plug on the filter cover for an ether system so that might be blocked if you use a different filter. Good luck!

    The Off Topic section has recently past the General Discussion section in number of posts. I think we all like a good story. Here is a Feed/Hammer mill that we recently got running again:

    Washboarded dirt roads and spring ride are most of what I've dealt with so more horsepower just wastes more fuel. Since all I've used a big rig for is hauling around equipment and grain I can't say I've ever even gotten up to over 65. I'd like to see one of those 6.7 or 6.6 high output motors in something like a tractor and keep a load on it for 14 hours or so.
