When you hear the "hissing", check to see if it is coming from the dryer.

Looks like a CAT part number 4B....

I think the municipality needs a fire truck museum . . .just sayin . . .

Paul,

I was thinking the same thing. Yardo needs to move his FWD to the station and have Mike put his trucks in there too.

Moth balls or flakes work. The mice hate the as much as humans. It'll stink up the truck but I learned this from a friend who had a lot of snow cats that sat all summer and

it worked.

Tim,

I had at least four (4) boxes of moth balls in the MH and the little ba$tard$ still managed to chew wires, paper towels, and ruined my ultra rare Mack Ultraliner jacket. Sum beaches!

Currently I have moth balls, Fresh Cab (pine scent), dryer sheets, sticky boards, pb baited spring traps, and poison blocks placed inside the MH, car, and pickup. I have the bases covered. I removed the sleeper mattress from the MH and also placed paper items in plastic storage containers. I read mice do not chew plastic.

If a project is getting completely torn down, there is a product called Lizard Skin which is a spray product. One type is for noise and the other is for heat. It is such that you can spray a coat of the "heat" style and then a coat of the "sound" over it.

Looks good. Too bad it does not come in an aeresol can (for us novices).

I put TomCat bait blocks in the sheds and builds, only to have something eat the entire block in one evening. I did this for a week but each night the blocks disappeared. Finally I decided to forget it....getting too expensive. It is either a BIG mouse or some other critter. My guesses are skunk or fox. Mice are pulling material from one of the my cars parked in the shed. Built a nest in the engine shrouding of my garden tractor, would overheat and shutdown. They also like to build nests in the car air intake box.

PLN - pump line nozzle (fuel injection pump with lines connecting the pump to the injectors). Typical fuel injection system used on most early engines except Detroit Diesel which used unit injectors (UI).

Once you get it off, there will likely be a narrow "lip" on the inboard side of the drum.

I have heard that (Fresh Cab) air fresheners work good. I put some packs in my trucks and didn't have mice in last year, don't know if it works but it says is does.

That is the pine scented "crap in a bag". Worthless. Dang mice chewed the paper flap on top of the pouch and crapped all over the dryer sheets.

A BIG hammer or a hungry cat? Let me know (post it here) if you or anyone knows of a sure way to keep mice out. Just hope they do not start chewing wires. I too have tried mothballs, Irish Spring soap, pine scent, and dryer sheets. Set traps but so far nothing. I am sure the critters are in there somewhere.

Ok, which one of you smart asses just had Green Dash deliver a skid of oil dry to my house?

Santy Claus came early?

I vote for TOO much free time.

Too much time with too much money.

Fred,

Yes RH is different than LH. I already have an extra NOS RH support....just ask Ron Baby Mack.

My list is simple......5 million US dollars in cash (after taxes)

But I would settle for:

NOS 22MO349/22MO4234M2 dome/reading lamp

NOS 6-piece MH grille

NOS 42RM55M9 gray doghouse cover

NOS 8ME4129M LH muffler support bracket

2 - new Michelin XZA or XZE 11R22.5 tires

4 - new Michelin XDN or XDE 11R22.5 tires

4 - new Michelin XZE 255/70R22.5 tires

4 - Alcoa aluminum 22.5 rims for the trailer

Mike,

Is that you on the Superliner's fuel tank step?

Fred,

Do you have a copy of the MH Climate Control System manual? If so, anything in there? I do not have my copy handy.

Welcome! We like pics.

And the front tire is not what I would consider on-highway.

Roger has a lot of old Macks and may have or know of an air tank.

Did you check with Barry at Watt?

DEF = Diesel Exhaust Fluid (urea). I agree Carl, several years ago a few of us OE guys discussed this issue. Diesel engines were close to meeting the new regs without DEF. But DEF was an "easy" way to meet the regs. I feel the engine OEs will develop technology to meet the future regs without a lot of aftertreatment devices. Neverstar gave it a try but failed (close but no cigar). Time will tell.

Welcome to BMT. Yardo (1958 FWD) is starting to mellow in his old age and bought a fire truck with a Driptroit, otherwise you would catch HEdoubleL for wanting a Driptroit.

P.S. A Series 60 is not really a Driptroit but belongs to the same family.

Mike Mike Mike,

How long you been on BMT and don't know how to post pics? For shame for shame.
