    Watts had them in the past in the on-line store. New and expensive. Worth to check out.

    The truck is in The Netherlands at the moment. And for no less than a decade to now. Was imported from Canada in the past. Looks really nice when up close too.

    Strange thing the truck looks red or even brick color on my screen. Actually it was cherry. I spent no less than half an hour roaming over it in 2013. If it had a sleeper it would be my favorite for all the times.

    Valueliners are cool! One of my favorites. And it's always easy to choose your most favorite Mack. Any model you are looking at you feel it's your favorite

    I took my Honda out for a ride today. A really good weather and not too cool if you dress warm. First time in this year. But today is already 14th, Friday is gone

    These were made in 1945 and went out relatively easy. And with no heat. Good thing someone greased the shafts in the past. Probably the last time in 1983 though. Pretty sure nobody ever removed the caps after they got in place at the factory.

    I don't know if I'm the only person who noticed that but the most everything is wrong in the pics this time. On the 1st two there's snow in April, on the 3rd a squirell instead of birds, on the 4th a peach those don't use to grow in snows, on the 5th a mug of beer but clearly seem written Jim Beam. And on the last two.. Ok, the ribs and the Mack are very good. Oh, no, I noted an imperfection again. No ribs are seen on the last pic. Just what's lower to them...

    Must be one nice looking F with a non-sleeper cab and that short wheelbase tandem. Wouldn't put supposes of the same attitude about its ride smoothness though. Congrats on the purchase! Vlad

    Impossible to belive a mother-nature made that! Ok, mother-nature in cooperation with Budd. Or Alcoa?

    Excepting you This always gets to my mind when I start thinking on using any metric thing in Mack which I have plenty of handy. Prefere to keep SAE when original.

    Once i removed the change valve on the stick for rebuild. Found out its function was to allow air to pass from one pipe (port) to the other and than block the passage when you make a shift. Dont remember up or down position. The valve itself conteins a pair of O-rings, still plate you move with the knob to open or block the passage and nothing else. i fixed my one from leaking no problem. Of the pipe arrangement I also didn't mark them so had to figure out. As I remember I just put them both ways. In one case the gearbox range was shifting and in the other it didn't.

    Thank you Paul! Surprizingly I can read that
  15. Vladislav
    I double that! Good luck on the progress.

    Nice looking RW. I doubt they will pick up the money asked. But being a rare beast there as said above it would worth some good $$ indeed.

    Many thanks for all the kind words gentlemen! With so many wishes I feel I should live no less than a hundred years just to be thankful enough for your care A really pleasure to feel as a part of the crue! The BBQing went well. Pork and ram beef made the deal.
  18. Vladislav
    Thank you guys! It was a really nice day here, lot of sun and quite warm, finally after long months of winter cold. Spent some lazy time tinkering with new antenna for my Cobra CB. Completed some current deals. Was even going to take the motorbike for a ride for the first time this year but needed to take off some stuff from the storage place first so I passed it at the time. A barbequeing is planned for tomorrow.

    Best wishes Mike!

    The cost was a steal. And something around $150-200 would be quite reasonable nowadays.

    Have a Great Day Tom! Best wishes!

    How the whole frame work is going on? Currently I'm tinkering with the idea to fabricate a pair of new Neway crossmembers for my R-model. They're are simple of their shape and could be cut and bent of thick sheet matel in a metal shop. Suppose that would be better than using the original ones which have terrible rust spread. And also i could do a part of prep job on the frame before finally parting out the truck.
  23. Vladislav
    I would like too. The diagram you can get by the link is for early R-models. Many connections look the same there but many differences could be found with late 80's trucks. Vlad

    When use any stainless part in contact with common steel corrosion goes pretty fast ovet the steel. That's because of different metals in contact, the same as when aluminium and steel and so on. So if you put SS part on a truck you better insulate it from contacting with steel by plastic or other non-metal part. Not good for a really tough mount in many cases but you will see fresh rust after the paint is worn or cracked otherwise.

    Strange thing the truck is so rusty in many spots such as dash instrument chrome rings, door panels inside and what looked worse the frame rails. If all that grew up during the storage I doubt the crank will made a turn.
