Your point makes sence. At least it much easier than to drive to down under.

I like the RW's and the trees. The MH looks too young to die. Although it might have a good grill

Hi Pawel! I'm not ready to provide complete help to you this time but I try a little. Little note - R-model brake system components and RW ones you're looking over are located slightly different. So you better determine your request for RW. 1. The point you marked - there's no air valve but just pipes and harnesses. The valve you mean is a threadle or foot brake valve. It's located just underneath of a brake pedal so its flage lays on and is fitted to a cab's floor. So a brake pedal fits to its top and its most body with pipes connected is under a cab. You can see it on that pic but to the right and lower from the "1" point, the horizont pipes come from it. You can find that valve on the different shots I sent to you when look carefully under the cab floor. I think it's the same for R and RW. You can also see it on the Watts R-model shop in the "brake parts". 2. - not ready to tell, looks like a pressure governor but I'm not shure. 3. - more looks like the heater valve on the cooling sys.pipes, you need to follow those pipes to figure out. 4. - the wire connector to match cab and chassis harnesses. Better wait for more advices because I might be some wrong. Here are the pics of the threadle valve of that red RW from the side and the shot of the valve on my MH. The last one is different, longer body with different connecting points, but it may help in general. Vlad

That's cool! How are things with licencing? Aren't any troubles about RHD?

Cool pics Randy! I'm familiar with some of them. Too sorry not with the last one...

Looks like I catched up a piece of history If they said "several" they might show out one day. Will keep my eye on it.

Glad to learn you have it done. If the new owner is planning to part it out I'm in interest for the gearbox. As long as it's TRD-7...

What the air tank do you have for that starter? Wich size and where on the chassis? How many starts can you do from its charge? My R-model with E6-350 fires up well with just one middle size battery when not cold. Vlad

Thank you for the advice, will check them out.

The stuff in rear looks this way. Also we power washed her today and found out interesting marks on the cab. There were the traces of the previous owner's marks. Looked like a big rhomb on the door with something like "TRANSFER" and "Lyberty, Pa" Also you could clearly see #31 of that fleet on the door above the strip.

Strongly recommended by me!

Thank you for posting, Tom. Too sorry the goats were really small this time.

Ray, it really helps. And all the posted above helped also. I got the lever boot with the spring off and put the lever in its place with the cab down. It shifted relatively well with the exception of some play because of wear in the joints. I found out the spring was broken and the boot wasn't solid so I'm looking for them now. The air ride of the cab needs air bags. Watts raited them for about $70 apiece and I'm going to catch them. Checked out the hydro locks today, they start making movements when applying the cab pump so look working. The Neway suspension you showed me out is almost the same I have in my R's. Although the MH setup is definitely not the "classic" air ride and not "Hendricson". There are some strange to me points in it and some issues. For example it looks like there were little steel ropes on the each side of the rear axles to the frame bolts for limiting up the suspension range. I made some pics of it but it's difficult to figure out of what you see on them with the tires on. Will try to make better ones and show out.

Don't you have a couple of 24.5 rims off the hubs? I'd like to get them, especially if it's able to bring them to Secaucus NJ.

It's really cool to make such birthday presents. Glad to see her Mike. And the story is great!

Congratulations

Thank you DigDug, There are shure many folks all around the globe who really love Macks. I met many in The Netherlands, shure there's a lot of in Australia and OZ. Too hope those African and South American guys also love driving Macks although it's really sad to see how they have to beat them to death with no service and care enough. Actually you can import a truck to Russia if it's not older than 3-5 years and Euro-5 emission level (the top one). The only other way is a partly knocked down form and with no chances to register it. That's sad. So I try to not miss any chance to get a local old Mack with papers. They are too rare beasts here though. Interesting info, BC Mack, Just hadn't time enough on last days to get myself to the truck. My rear suspension is different than your's, I'll take pics and put them on here. Yes, the park brakes on the FR with regular chambers on the RR. May put spring ones all around but should arrange additional lines that way. Don't know the weight rating and so on, Watts said they couldn't track the VIN. It's not the first time about them though. And those for $45 - wich brands on your mind would work well? I saw not only Bendix on the net but lots of different ones. Does any one familiar with aftermarket stuff of the kind?

This one is an ex-WW2 truck. There was also Mack NM wich was of the same class and used the same chassis components - Timken-Detroit axles and a transfer case. Pretty wicked on my mind.

Have you finally got her home?

Any ideas on where to get from a sun visor like on the pic? Probably an early one? Too like how it looks (and the truck also)

Thanks Al, Pretty cool info you gave me about that suspension. It looks strong built at all and attached to Mack axles by some special way. Although there are repairs on the rear ends of the rear axle longitutional arms (levers) and I had a hope to find a pair of used such the levers in the future. Was shure it's a commonly used setup. It was also interesting to note - there are park brake chambers on the FR axle only. Do the most of modern Macks have it the same or it's out of the rule?

Give me a look if it's close.

That yellow thing looks like off a lock or a boat.

Found this yesterday googling MH's. The comment was it's from the cutted off episode.

Thank you Joe. I read Ray's thread about HUT and being surprized to be related to by some way. The "02-6" sticker also makes sence, the truck was imported in Russia in early 2003. There's a kind of talk locally that there's the city of Moscow in the USA. Just have never been involved personally to that fact. Glad to learn it from you.
