A quick question - does anybody have CRD92/93 carrier parts list handy? Beeing needing to identify the bearing cups (races) of the ones the interwheel differential turns in. Are they Mack 64AX176/46AX177 and Timken/SKF/Bower 47622W / 47622BW ? Or different? Just dont want to part out a carrier with only a reason to recognize the bearings. Thanks in advance, Vlad

Looks like the same to BMT this time. Hope he's allright and get back imbalancing pictures soon.

My WW2 military Mack manual tells turn the nut tight, try spinning the wheel than turn tight again. After that make the nut loose getting 3 notches back. That's about 1/6 of the turn on the particular truck. From my practice (with cars and small trucks) when you set the 1st nut you may feel slack. But after you put and tight up the lock nut it gets away. The matter of the event is when you force the wheel to move it forces the 1st nut (without the lock nut at the time) to go out. And it stops against the spindle thread. But when you put the 2nd nut tight side by side to the 1st one the latter is forsed to go in. As long as the tread slack allows. It's sure small but usually enough to drop your original slack to zero. So I use to set the slack a bit larger than I would prefere and later find it tiny when the lock nut is on.

Yes, would be interesting to bring it back to its original glory look see how it looks nowadays. Thank you for sharing the pic. Vlad

Wow Jim! Looks like I am a rookie in relation to how you track down E-models. Nice to see the truck is still alive, right?

There was a post on here of an old man trying to sell his EJ wrecker project. A long while back, 5 or 6 years ago. Looks like the same truck but with some progress along the story. And from observing the running boards I 'd suspect it was a firetruck in its earlier days.

Check out the other side of the axle beam. There should be FA and so on. I'd expect seeing FA W538 14000lb on your truck but this could vary. Vlad

Wow! Those beautiful scenaries once again. I'm in love! The only thing I feel strange is the cab of the truck on the last picture was set really high off the ground

I like the way the truck was freshened up. New paint on the rims and hubs but overall original condition with traces of its age. Pretty sure alot of mechanical overhaul was also made to keep it running.

Happy Birthday! Hope the weather in Indiana is quite good for selebration.

This hobby is so nice to do becase it takes you to pass plenty of difficulties which requires and shows out the best of your craftmanship. And maybe that little loss will protect you from something bigger in the future. Good luck on calming down and continue

Happy Birthday Hat! Don't know how the weather is good to fish right at the moment but I think a good fish restaurant would work too.

Yes, that does look like. Just difficult to tell which one. There were different models with different displacements. Which model of Mack truck did those parts come from?

You just put "1" or "+1" before the number when you call to the States. Might be needing to dial some numbers to get an international access from your local telephone net, I don't know. Just do the way you do for any international call (or text) using 1 for the country code.

Yes, sometimes you can't make a job almost without losses. Glad to hear the eyes and teeth are in place. Oh, and the work is done too.

Love the "old rubber" hard nose L! And the rest are nice trucks too. Thanks for sharing. Vlad

Happy Birthday! Have a Great one!

Happy Birthday Vinster !

Here on my side of the pond Fram filters were always good for the last 20 years at least. As I remember the company location was Italy and those for sale here were made there. I can't say I installed a hundered or two of them, actually much less. But had no troubles with, no worries about and didn't heard from others anything bad too.

If the memory serves they made only 75 of 100 because of fire at the factory which ruined the rest 25. And the number they're going to issue now is to cover that niche only. I always liked D-types but way far from starting to figure out possibilities to harvest a pair of millions for that cat.

Didn't your friend mean he had hopes on you to provide one more frame stratch?

I wouldn't agree on peacocks are nasty attackers or cry extremely loud. They sure do but many animals do sounds too. Taking a peacock to a plane seems just as common stupidity. People do like doing things they'd like to but everything have some reasonable limits. And if you're so ultimate in your disires just buy your own plane and carry whatever you want.

That's one cool looking Ford.
