Any updates on this? Been looking for a fix for this and never heard of this kit.

Thats the coolest thing I've seen today...

Question: why did Mack have such an extensive flight division? I mean back in the day every farm and medium size business had there own plane but helicopters were sort of a rarity for even large businesses back then. You said that it was mainly customers so was it like a guided tour thing? How many people went up per day for them too need dedicated pilots?

Gotten a lot of people moving to Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas for that same reason. The Californians are the most gullible, they buy crap land for what they perceive as a bargain and try to grow Lavender (no joke) why I don't know but as long as you left your politics there you're more than welcome.

Do you mind elaborating more on the turbo thing joey? Does the model of the turbo tell what the horsepower (300,350, ect) it is? Do they all use Schwitzer or did they use other makes? Im probably way overthinking it but I can't say Ive ever thought to look at the turbo, beats crawling all around the engine looking for a tag that's been greased over.

That filter looks more like the one's we use on the combine for the AC system, not made to use with the suction from an engine especially a turbocharged one. Plus there's a plug that doesn't go anywhere on the top side which I'm guessing from the pictures is the clean air, don't run the engine for too long with that set up until you learn more. Wouldn't want to cause any damage.

Ive never seen something like that either, doesn't look like oil would go into it and it doesn't look like those are factory welds.

Defense has made advancements sure but does the public get any of those advancements? No, free market companies have to figure out a way to mass manufacture and get the product affordable for the people. We don't bet an eye because we $790 billion is nothing compared to the 7 trillion we spent last year that didn't hardly make any advancements or helped anyone at all.

Anyone need a project or parts for an MH? https://www.bigiron.com/Lots/1985MackMH613CabOverTruckTractorwSleeper No engine so parts or swaps your only option, it'll go cheep and parts for these aren't!

Since you've studied this why won't a system of free market competition driven healthcare work? If the government sets a fixed price then why would there be much if any drive to produce a quality low priced product? When the government started interfering with the healthcare system prices went up and quality of care went down but yet more government is the answer? I just cannot see how. We lead the world in clinical trials and medical research which is then used by other countries to improve their health systems (link here ) with the government in control we could loose all of that which would definitely be a big set back to the world. Our system isn't perfect but more taxes thrown at it has never and will never work. Sorry didn't mean to go off on a tangent but since dads become a politician I've become much more involved in this stuff.

And Good luck on your job search Joey. Brother ran a grader for our county for 7 years before he realized that it wasn't for him. The older guys there had been doing I that for 30 years and got nothing out of it besides a broken back and a broken mind. Some retired old guys would come back and clock in before they were told that they retired 5 years ago and then they would remember. Don't let them break you

I don't see how people can honestly think that more government intervention in our healthcare system will make anything better when government intervention has caused all of these problems to begin with. Everything the government becomes involves with because another politician power funding money grab. Why can't our healthcare system work like everything else and have companies compete for your business? It's worked before and prices have subsequently gone down.

I always's wondered why there wasn't more Ch613 sleeper cabs. Was it cost or was there something wrong with them? Looking at auctions its at least 1 sleeper Ch for every 50 day cabs.

War era fire engine? I need to see pictures of this! The wooden stuff will all have to be made or found at a garage sales. Don't know about the carb.

On a more serious note I was wondering if anyone could tell me if a 2 valve or a 4 valve is a deciding factor on a truck. I loved our 4 valve but from what it looks like the old 2 valve has some more bark to it. With the 4 valve I guess it would probably be easier to find Jake conversion parts for it if you want. Any more thoughts?

Cumaparts you call them huh? Well the Big Cam at least looks ok

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!
