Making the fittings for the lost wax castings. The new MRS is going to make them in pewter. She used to make jewellery castings for her dad when she grew up in Israel.

Probably Freightliner Flu  

I would look very close at the ECU and VECU connectors and pins for corrosion, loose in the connector housing where the pin pushes back a bit when plugged in or bent / miss aligned pins. Check the harness it self for worn or rubbed places

P20EE general causes, Exhaust Leaks, Fuel contamination, Faulty Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF),Faulty NOx Sensor,  contaminated DEF or Faulty SCR Catalyst.

Since you have done most of that at one time or another, I would start by visually inspecting the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector's pins.

Minor! I'm never that lucky with floors.  Paul

At the end of the VIN it says KIT, it would either be a Glider or a KDA that was not exported.

He still has it, I think it's actually a bill of sale he's waiting on, I heard Maine doesn't even issue titles. Guy's name is Gary, real nice guy. I couldn't tell you how to pronounce his last name!

 

Maine issues titles for 1995 and newer.

Artillery wheels are the steel style that replaced wooden spoke wheels in the late 1920s on  light and medium truck and passenger cars. This one is off a Dodge Brothers early 30's pick up.

those pictured on trailer are for tube type tires either with the single or two piece lock rings

Single lock rings and the spiders are cut down OEM wood spokes.

You may want to add some Sound deadener / insulation to the cag, at least the firewall area and floor. THey are a hot with the engine heat in the little cab. Heat is nice here in New England but the B cabs are HOT. There is a spray in type that you can also spray color over that is a sound and heat barrier.  Paul

Dayton Spoke wheels. Kind of generic now like Xerox for copies

Thanks Mike!! Send it on Monday.  Paul

You're going to need to soak them to soften the gook and make it easier to remove,. I use the GUNK CK3 Carburetor and Parts cleaner. Put them vertically in the cleaner and let them soak for a day or 2, run a wire through them and soak the another few days. wire through again and some air pressure and you should get most all out. Be aware the cleaner is a mild acid base item. It WILL take off paint, a layer of skin.  A company called Berryman also make a similar cleaner.    Paul  

The holding company of International Trucks and IC Buses named Friedrich Baumann as president of Sales, Marketing and Aftersales. He will oversee the full range of commercial processes for customers and dealers. Baumann, who joined Navistar from Daimler Trucks North America in 2018, previously was president of Aftersales/Alliance Management. Baumann continues as liaison with Volkswagen AG's TRATON Group. The holding company for Volkswagen AG's truck brands works with NAvistar on purchasing and powertrain programs.

TRATON in January made a  $2.9 billion bid for the 83% of Navistar stock it does not already own, which was accepted late this year. 

Baumann succeeds Michael Cancelliere, who is retiring after 40 years at Navistar.

"It is crucial that both our dealer network as well as the brand are growing and moving in the same direction to serve our joint customers better than anybody else," Baumann told FreightWaves in a December 2019 interview.

Returning to The Fold

Robert Walsh rejoins Navistar from Sears Holdings Corp., where he was vice president and chief procurement officer after 15 years at Navistar.

He will be vice president of Emerging Technologies, Strategy, and Planning. That includes managing a partnership with TuSimple to bring a Level 4 autonomous truck to market by 2024. Walsh also will lead the development of Navistar's newest business unit, NEXT eMobility Solutions as well as the Strategy and Planning group steering the Navistar 4.0 business strategy.

Walsh formerly was president of Navistar Defense, 70% of which Navistar sold to affiliates of Cerberus Capital Management in December 2018.

Traton adds Navistar's global operations, including Brazil, Mexico and the Global Export business, to his portfolio. Christman continues to oversee procurement, product development, manufacturing and supply chain.

Persio Lisboa will be Navistar's President and CEO after the  new year.

Little inside knowledge (and $$$) on the deal from Baumann??   Paul

Me to please.  Paul
