Dang Jay...hate to see you sell this truck. But you have to do what you have to do. Just do your best to see it goes to a good home! Good luck! P.S. This truck needs to be in the Mack Museum.

Here is your opportunity to own a 1952 Worthington tractor. No connection. http://www.tractorshed.com/cgi-bin/photoads/classifieds.cgi?search_and_display_db_button=on&db_id=569624&query=retrieval

Preciate? WTF...now he is throwing fancy words. I guess that is what happens when you are famous.

UModel gaspot powered
farmer52 replied to Joe Ditchkus's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
IFRC, the engine "slanted" to the right. That would counterbalance the U cab. -
Yesterday's Tractors site has a serial number list with years (left column under Research). It does not mention the location of the SN.

Since I saw the new MACK logo I like the previous one better....and I did not like it previously. Bring back the old logos and Bulldog pin!

Found on PA Craigslist
farmer52 replied to Superdog's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I like the MH but not the price. -
The field test engines I followed would normally breakin between 50K and 100K miles. But usually after 50K everything looked "normal". To be on the safe side I would drop a few bearings and take a look. Perhaps the crankshaft was not ground correctly. An incorrect grind would not cause the vibration but a bent crank could cause the vibration AND bearing wear.
-
I like those Dodges but too far away.
-
If the lead is high...drop the pan and pull a few upper rod and lower main bearings. The lower main bearings and upper rod bearings are the ones that are loaded.
-
Dampener? Lead typically indicates bearing wear. Is the tin high also? Most bearings have a lead/tin overlay. Any other high wear metals (copper, iron, chromium, etc.)?

What info are you seeking? Try this website www.yesterdaystractors.com. This site covers items for sale, discussion forums, parts, etc. for all makes of antique tractors and farm equipment. Good luck! P.S. There are likely others but this one is a good place to start.

Ron, Thanks for the explanation and pics. BTW, now we know another way to "pull your chain".

Oliver HG42 - Charging 8 volt battery
farmer52 replied to markpwhit's topic in Tractors and Equipment
Based on my little knowledge of 8V batteries....my thought is you need an 8V charger. The 12V will overcharge and the 6V will undercharge. I have no experience with 8V batteries. Do you have a 6V battery that you can install? Disclaimer...you can try using the 6V setting but be VERY VERY careful. -
I may look for a cheap hotel a few miles away that is not on the shuttle route. Then ride a bicycle to and from the show. Hopefully they allow bicycles on the grounds. Otherwise I may have my own show at the Poverty Hilltop Farm.

Timmy, Now that you mention it, I do not remember working with any pump other than RBosch for the E7 (mechanical or electronic). And you know how all trucker stories start...."you are not going to believe this but....".

Yes there is a difference in RBosch and AMBAC. Mack used both depending on the rating. I believe all the "electronic" pumps were RBosch.

Rollback project on eBay
farmer52 replied to 1977vega's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Wow, lots of Macks at that place. Jim (Green Dash)...this is in your neighborhood...Washington, PA. Road trip! -
Mike, I still have the JD110H that I bought new in 1966. It is disassembled and I plan to restore it. The 110H pictured is all original and I bought it (around 2000) from the owner who lived near Roanoke, VA. The 80 dump cart is also original and it came from IL. I own four (4) 80 dump carts...all original.

Thanks Brocky! I am one to make reservations early (sometimes the rate increases closer to the dates). I am about three (3) hours away and will plan to arrive on Wednesday afternoon. Tom....thanks for the suggestion. I could rent "sleeping" space in the trailer and then I would stay in a nice hotel (and get some sleep).
-
Fred, Thanks for the help. This is what I get...Holiday Inn $117 (not $112), Best Western $116.xx (not $99.99(, and Sheraton $140 (not $115). Also the show page only shows the dates, May 28-30. Is 28th setup and 30th departure? Hours of show?
