Did those originally come with the Continental/Hercules engines and then swapped out? Were they swapped out by the military or was it done after they were retired? The ones around here I've only seen hauling water for cattle.
-
I'll make a separate thread about it sometime, not too worried about it now that its cold. I need parts like the top cab seal and control panel.
-
Wish I could have talked to that guy with the W900. I'd like to get the rooftop unit on my Mack working, maybe he would have a few pointers.
-
Wasn't able to make it this year but took some pictures on my way through. Seemed like it was going to be a good show! 8V92 in this Transtar, nice looking truck. Wish I'd got the chance to talk to more of these people, lots of nice folk. Hope I get to bring a truck one of these years but it's always a busy time.

You don't see many of those that are in that good of shape anymore, most are beaten to death by the 2nd owner. Hope it finds a good owner

Wiring Diagrams, fm Mack Museum. Fire Truck dual distributors
BOBWhite replied to T-Mack1's topic in Fire Apparatus
I see the jumper wires now, who knows what I was thinking! And everything would be 12 volt since both battery banks are grounded. The two solenoids are for key on and start. I've never been very good with these diagrams, at least there are no Diode or Resister alien symbols.

Wiring Diagrams, fm Mack Museum. Fire Truck dual distributors
BOBWhite replied to T-Mack1's topic in Fire Apparatus
How interesting, it looks to me like those are two 6 volt batteries that are connected In parallel to provide 12 volts to the starter but everything else is 6 volt. Never seen that! Our International truck has a similar setup with two 12 volts to make 24 for the starter, that parallel solenoid has gotten knocked out a couple of times. -
Local Ford dealership building sold last year and I picked up a shop manual for a CL9000. They stopped selling cars in the 90s but the family held onto the building until recently, tons of cool stuff with books and parts. Anyway, need to get that CL9000 book scanned onto a PDF

R Model Farm Truck
BOBWhite replied to seyser's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I'm in the same place at the moment, wheat needs to get put into the ground and milo cut. Still waiting on things to dry out. -
I was just thinking about these. Yeah parts for the midliner are expensive/hard to find, but Mack Freedom parts are probably even worse. It's like the Bering trucks of the same time period.
-
I couldn't open it either. Take a screen shot and try posting it

Glad you didn't just hand him a Dodge/Ford/GM Diesel pickup like so many of the brat kids around me. V6 and a 5 speed sounds like a hot rod! 4WD is for fun! Tell him to get that transmission oil checked/changed right off. I don't remember what gearbox these have (NV3500?) but I know they don't hold like the larger 4 and 5 speeds. Hope he can get it to last until he's 18! I went through 3 before I even turned 18
-
What a cool truck! Did you put those LED lights in or was it like that when you bought it? Let me know if you need help with pictures in the future, I can usually figure that kind of stuff out. We love pictures here!
-
I've always wondered where you get replacements for those as they tend to get eaten by mice. Maybe make them out of sort of paper mache? Best of luck

46k Chalmers Suspension With 38 Mack Rears?
BOBWhite replied to DieselDog5.9's topic in Driveline and Suspension
Do you have a iPhone? It might be the wrong format or something, I can DM you my Email and help you out if you want -
Sounds like a Hogans Hero's episode. Thanks for sharing
-
What an eye catcher! Thanks for sharing
-
Did they have the plastic dash in 1974? I thought they went to that later
-
Was the air for pressurizing the fuel? Pressurizing the fuel tank then counting the drops when the pump gets into the right position? I've never spill timed anything but the process seems cool
-
Spill timing can seem like magic but it shouldn't really be all that hard with the right tools and knowhow. Engine should run better too since the timing moves a bit after the gears wear in
-
I didn't know that about the Cummins low flow engines. I know that they were mostly hated around here in tractors, they seemed to go through fan belts frequently and you'd have to keep the radiators sterile to keep them cool. The weird oil thermostats they put on Cummins later weren't much liked either

Back in the Mack Pack!
BOBWhite replied to BOBWhite's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Got around to getting that tire off. What do I look for steering and kingpin wise while it's off? It felt good but I don't really know what I'm looking for Edit: I don't have a proper "truck jack" so what's the safest way to do this? Two bottle Jacks was all I had at the time
-
I've heard a bad throughout/input shaft bearing can do weird stuff like that too. Pulling the transmission top cover off first like Joey said seems to be the best way forward. -Good luck
-
Are F700 and R700 similar chassis? Almost odd to see such an Aussie spec truck here in America, wish that had a vid of it running that would be sweet! Edit: Awesome Farr air cleaner too!
-
I used to think that same thing until I got a truck with a Mack 6 speed (twin stick). You somehow are always in the right gear and have plenty of power without doing as much shifting. Biggest problem is at 2,000rpm doing 60, 45mph at 1600 is just right but I don't do much highway driving.
