I wonder where they rented the porta potty from in the background

The people who have got it after they got the shot say it's even worse than if they hadn't. If your body builds the antibodies to it its better than any vaccine or medicine. Also does anyone ever think about what would have happened if the scientist in china never found or died before word of the virus even got out? Would anyone really have noticed? I think we all can remember a time in school or work when almost the whole staff got sick but once we got better it was fine, if that was the case then couldn't we have just done that and not tank the whole entire world? just a thought

The main enemy to them around here is the road grader or the occasional cow that gets out and thinks its a scratching post. 30ft combine headers can hit them too but that's usually my fault and no one else's. Also my goodness its green over there! It already looks like its winter here with the grass all being brown already.

If you have a clean garage and a buddy with all the specialty tools you could attempt to do it yourself. They're simple motors compared to what we have today but I'd definitely find some technical ligature on it. This video makes it seem real easy! If only in a perfect world in a nice clean shop with the motor out. Even if you have someone else do it this video really helps you get on the same page with your mechanic. Also does anyone know how to get parts from PAI? I'd imagine you would have to be a dealer or something but could you register an account for a farm or other small business types?

Is that an auto tranny that's on it now? What did this thing come out of?

does it have the 11 bolt SAE bolt pattern that an Eaton would have? I know the t-2000 series of transmission's do but I don't know about the TR series.

Wow what a looker! Did they put in vinyl floors? I don't think Ive ever seen something like that before.

Old thread but this thing is way to cool. I came across a video about it and let me down a rabbit hole of trains and fire engines. Don't know if it was stated before but the company that made the pump Deaval also made cream separators. Our family retired our Delaval and put it in the museum, now we just wait overnight and let the cream separate by itself.

Points and or a bad fuel pump can do that too. Nice to get it all back together!

I don't think they ever sold Moline's in Australia but I know Olivers and before that Hart Parr's were very popular down there. My great great grandpa sold Hart Parr's and we still got some advertising they sent him. One ad told of a Hart Parr they ran down in Australia for 9 days and 8 nights to break a world plowing record back in the 1920s. Tough machines

There Is a road boss a couple of blocks from me. I see it run a couple of times a year but it doesn't interest me very much, White killed Oliver and Moline back in the 80s and as a big Ag guy I still hate them for it.

Good to know! Had an Mh that surged and bucked horribly when it wasn't under load, maybe the governor just needed to be rebuilt

Did he pass on or has he just not been on in over a year? Ive messaged him but have never got a response. Sucks I joined too late I never got to meet him

Im pretty sure the Air compressor is driven from the injection pump so it will have to be removed. I'd say if you take the governor off without the rest of the pump the rack might be Impossible to retime

Compression test and injector test. You can send them off to someone who knows what their doing but if your cheep and stubborn like I am I'd rig up a tester yourself. There are several articles about how to turn an old hydraulic pump jack into one or you can buy one off amazon for a reasonable price. When testing you're looking for 1. Spray pattern, I have a great video that explains what your looking for here: Next your looking for injector cracking pressures, its best to find a book describing what these pressures are but if you can't its more important that there within about a 5 to 10 pound difference between injectors (the less difference the better) Not too sure what brand of injector Mack uses but I would imagine its the same brand as the pump, there may still be kits available and you could rebuild them yourself if you have the proper specs and your wife doesn't mind the smell of diesel fuel in the clean house. Injectors might not be the problem but their old and its something to look into on older diesels, well balanced injectors make a world of difference.

Who's really the stupid ones here? We can make oil from natural gas and gasoline from coal. I mean its almost never stated how the Nazi's got there gasoline for there airplanes, the answer is coal! If we have enough to burn underneath a town for 70 years than there's no reason for us not to be refining into gasoline if crude oil is sooo hard to find.

I know someone on here was telling about an 80s Mack with an automatic, there rare for sure! I know that the UPS truck's had some weird transmission trickery but Im not sure if it was an automatic or not.

I guess its running good...

Im a big Cat guy so this is awesome! I have a couple of questions though: Could you get a Mack transmission with any engine or only with Mack engines? Also Ive never seen a Cat engine in an Ultraliner. Ive seen some cummins and a couple of Detroits but never a Cat, are they rare or did they just never put them in em?

More gears is typically better but here are some links to the ratio charts so you can compare: https://thompsonmachinery.com/content/uploads/2017/04/10speed-Eaton.pdf xhttps://www.eaton.com/content/dam/eaton/products/transmissions/vehicle-transmissions/8ll/eaton-fuller-on-off-highway-transmissions-brochure-trsl0116-en-us.pdf Id say you can't go wrong with a ten speed but they both look like they have about a 34% slope per gear.

One of the coolest sounding Diesel engines in my opinion!

Pictures can tell a thousand words but they hide about half of them. Full inspection would be necessary for that kind of money but at the same time why would anyone pay that much? recently a guy on here payed 10grand for one (I can't remember the poster) and if you dump another 20-30 into a resto you'd have pretty much the same thing. It just doesn't paper out in my head.

It's seems I have the opposite happen here, people use a gun to take the plug on and off, you can definitely tell who changes their own oil by who doesn't have wet spots on there driveway from a stripped out plug

Ok I really don't mean to beat a dead horse here but I found this thread here: https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28092-t2090/ specifically this part: I know it's probably up to the whoever's paying for the transmission rebuild but it still makes me wonder which pattern is better for the transmission in the long run. If the old pattern transmission and the new pattern transmission are mechanically and internally the same than I'd say shift it in the new pattern If it goes smoother, 4th low always sucked to get into anyways.

Weld and brace the frame back up and keep going, that's what my neighbor did and his pickup split in half. If its done right it'll be better than new.
