SALVEGE YARD VISIT
cruiseliner64 replied to Derrico's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Thats a great parts store,wish id one like it near me.The EU in their wisdom have outlawed such places.scrap yards are now just that.. once a vehicle enters its broken into recycleable parts and sent to recovery places where every part is melted down into its raw state and then made into something else...no vintage parts for the likes of us...

Temp in C not F.pressure(oil and air)in hpa not psi....metric in other words🥶...Im only guessing because i seen a canadian Kenworth and GMC which had the metric clocks.Our Cruiseliner has them too... Paul

Well I got back down to the tyre depot and the guy there said 24in tubeless tyres are widely available from a few different companys...all in China.The tyres are highway radial tyres and are the most common truck tyre in China.Boto and Long March are two of the companys he said make them...... Paul

B75 vs LTL

Same here.I remember one stormy night rescueing a GUY truck(British Layland)with a 220 cummins which the driver said just stopped.After confirming no power at the pump we screwed in the screw on the pump and got it back to the yard.Turned out the fuse for the wipers blew and that fuse also supplied the pump solenoid....

Nice one..never thought of that problem with a plow.We get very little snow so the road authority just hires wheel loaders to clear the roads.My brother was part of the management team in Shannon airport where because of the airports intetnational status it has to have a fleet of plows at the ready.15 years ago they bought 10 new Iveco plows and last year they replaced them with new plows....The Ivecos were NEVER used....They were maintained and drove around the airport to keep them up to scratch.That shows how often we get snow here.. .. Still gets dam cold though. Paul

Wow you got two beautiful bargains there.If I lived in the US there would have been a bidding war between us....best of luck with them.they are pure class.. Paul -
Maybe its like our Cruiseliner EM6 300 with the intercooler bolted to the rad.Its still air to air intercooling but could be mistaken as part of the rad by soneone not familier with the set up... Paul
-
Not yet.I'v been too busy to get back down to the tyre depot.Hope to get down on Saturday.Thanks for your help on this.I do value your opinion. .. Paul

Looks much the same as the EM 6-300 in our Cruiseliner.The shape of the valve covers,the exhaust manifold and a few other details all look the same....its a Mack motor me thinks.... Paul

When i was a kid we lived close to a company who had 25 Bedford TM trucks (GMC Europe) Every morning around 6am we could hear them starting up and leaving the yard.The sound of those 8V71s was my alarm clock for years...No wonder I am a truck nut!!!! Paul

The guy i was dealing with has over 30 years in the tyre business.I deal with him only beacuse as you say younger guys dont know anything about older tyres and none of them even know what a spoke wheel on a truck is never mind how to fit them!!! Paul
