Not really about tuning up but it helped me understand the timing process. Tuning these Macks is kind of a tricky deal, throwing more fuel at it won't do you much good. Mack spent a lot more timing tuning these engines to be used in trucks than anyone else, so anything you modify will likely just throw everything else off balance. Best of luck!

Could also be your throw out bearing. Sometimes they get damaged when you reinstall the transmission and can cause the clutch to not disengage. Might try just greasing it and seeing if that helps. I would put the transmission in gear with the engine off then with the clutch pushed in start the engine to see if your clutch is working at all. It won't work if its in a shop but I've freed up some stuck clutches that way before. -
Does the shifter feel different than before? And what happens when you try to put it in gear does it grind or does it do nothing at all? Could be that the forks internal to the transmission are broken or misaligned if the transmission is a different one or has been rebuilt. Had that happen once on a pickup. Best of luck

Northern New Mexico or Southern? There's a lot of treasures up there in those mountains. I know of some sweet International Transtars up there.

I didn't know that about them making stuff for the aviation business. I've seen pictures of the old uranium and nuke haulers during the Cold War and some of them were Marmons.

aluminum dump bed liner for farm use?
BOBWhite replied to CaptainE's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
Be careful hauling grain with that If your dumping into any sort of pit, unless it already has a sort of smaller grain door on the back of the dump bed. Dad was hauling with an old dump bed one time and dumped the whole load at once by accident and it screwed up the elevator so bad it was down for a couple weeks. Just a word of caution, and I agree with the plywood idea but I would take them out once a year and clean out under them. -
They come up for sale every now and then. They made an E3 too but I think they have one cylinder head instead of multiple like the E5. Does anyone know what Renault called these engines? Were they a 100% Renault design with all metric or did they have some Mack in em? And wow I didn't know Mack brought over Scania engines for their own trucks. What model of engine were they labeled and sold as?
-
Darn I wish I was around and knew about it. Still secret pockets of stuff around here though, just need to find them.
-
Do you know what they were mining or using it for in Pratt? Thats right next door to me but I've never heard of or been around any mine in Pratt. Theres a salt mine in Hutch and a Quarry up by hays and that's about it.
-
Just 30 feet but the original design was for 24 feet, John Deere stretched it out but that made the middle always crack or break. My dad's made cowboy candy before with our garden peppers. Not the biggest fan but what else can you do with them.
-
Welp rained for the past 4 days. Still need to get some wheat in but I don't think it'll ever dry out now. Header auger cracked so at least I had some downtime to weld it back up. just needs to hold a bit longer... Anyone else have a better Friday?

Thought of him when I saw this V8 Mh for sale. Wish he was still around

Nice lookin garden! Tractor parade sounds fun too, would love to drive my Farmall cub in one someday. Just starting to get green beans from our garden, only have got one tomato so far but many more are on their way. Peppers are coming on strong but the soil around here's make's them so terribly hot that you cannot do much with them. The dog made a tunnel underneath the tomato plants and now all of our animals spend the whole day in there.
-
Looks fun! Trying to get through this mess, rains came too late and the weeds keep coming. 13.7 moisture and 57 test weight so I can't complain too much about what little wheat there is. Lookin like there's not going to be a day off for me anytime soon!
-
Thats funny stuff whomever he meant!
-
I forgot to mention the purple people eater Alis Chalmers engine was there! I've always wanted to see that engine, I grew up around Allis Chalmers tractors and used several gleaner combines and always liked the engines on them.
-
Beautiful Mh and F models. Good to see a Marmon there too!
-
I would say the same. Unless you deleting it or heavily modifying it, different exhaust manifolds won't make much of a difference.
-
Is the TCM still on the vehicle or did it get removed? How are you hooking up the speed sensor into the 13 speed? I'm not a computer or swapping expert but I've heard about people leaving the transmission control module in the vehicle when they swap in a manual and just tricking the computer into thinking that it still has an automatic. It only revving to 1400 kinda sounds like this might be the case if the computer thinks it's in neutral it may not let the RPM's go over 1400. Best of Luck

Looks like a newer JCB Fastrac. The ones the rich farmers use for their grain cart tractors. To me I don't understand why they have to be styled that way. The aero look works for a truck, but for slow speed tractors and haul trucks why not just make it square and better looking? It's not going to hurt fuel usage any, and with the older design it won't be damaged as bad if you hit something.

I always loved this ad but could never find a copy online with a good enough quality to read the text. I decided to try my hand at redoing all the small text to make it legible. I'm sure I made some mistakes and I don't know how well it will show up on the sight, but on my end the text looks much better!

These days, yes there's no way they could make such a thing under Volvo. However from the 50s-70s they build top of the line off road haul trucks. They probably canned it due to high oil prices and lack of market but man it would have been cool to see them stick with it and be a competitor with Cat and others. Plus they made a convoy of trucks that made it all the way to the DEW line. Would like to see Peterbuilt/Kenworth top that!

1980 Superliner V8 440hp
BOBWhite replied to Supermutt's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
My advise would be to shoot for the moon! $50,000 is what I see people list them as and as long as you don't need to get rid of it in a hurry I say why not. -
Like injection parts for a 3406B or a truck with a 3406B? On the chance that it Is a Bosch pump and not an Ambac those are real easy to find people and parts to rebuild them. Why do you think your pump needs rebuilt?

He would have to take the radiator and hood out wouldn't he? That alone would have taken me a day or two. These wouldn't have roller or hydraulic lifters would they? How exactly do they fail? Just delaminate and come apart?
