I have almost never heard about Mack Junior COE! Need a bit of explanation either - what's H65? Can't imagine anything between H63 and H67 Thank you for sharing these great truck pictures. And for the one from Mahan's collection also.

That's pretty interesting, thanks alot for sharing the experience. I put Lizard Skin on my "to look for" list, will try to get a set of. What amount of the product you spent for whole B-model cab?

WORTHFULL. Sorry for the stupid misstype.

A man should know his limitations. Especially a man with 21.5 tons "in the trunk". Sorry for the loss of the historical artifact.

Maybe heavier oil could make a difference?

I think they are for $29 at Finditparts. Thank you for sharing the part#, beeing wanting a couple of.

I was waiting to hear "If I have that trailer I'd have no need to work at all since it's self-operating"

That trailer looks like a true piece of mechanical art.

I like those snowy roads. It's cool when the sun is shining and you drive with no much hurry. Beautiful scenaries. Not too easy to drive though when it's snowing and so on. By the word it's currently some degrees above the freezing point and the snow is almost gone overhere. Hope to get it back before the New Year.

Harry, thank you for the detailed explanations. It just seems difficult to me to order a set from overseas and I'm not sure both local mail and custom service would be eager to pass a pack of liquid stuff. On the other hand I can just go to a nearest automotive shop and buy some cans/spray cans of toluine-based poliurethane resin wich makes a rubber-like skin on a surface, a kind like modern cars have on their bodies and wheel arches. I used that material many times and it works perfect for corrosion protection. Limits sounds and heat income in theory and as how it is described by the producent. Usually I apply made-in-Germany or Eastern Europe stuff. I sure would like to test Lizard Skin since folks on here tell it's good. Alot of worthless worthfull advices on here. Going to put my hands on the R-model cab in the future. It's actually far from to be silent, difficult to talk with a cell phone when down the road. Currently I do the sleeper, put the local made bithum matts wich were similar to Dyna mat. Hope to start on the cab in some months.

Twin steer H's seem very rare. At least I don't remember any talks about them nor pictures. Too like pre-war B's and C's.

Cool Macks! Especially RW. Welcome! Vlad

Congrats on the deal JT. I feel for you but you did what you had to and it's done. Anyway you've got a big lot of experience of owning a big toy what doesn't seem an easy thing (to me), especially being not a mechanic yourself. Hope in the end it was a deal not a steal.

Welcome on here!

The airbags train is my today's favorite. And all the rest of the things with red hoods is nice. Merry Christmas!

Thank you for those Winfall Santa girlfriends! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas BMT!

Too interesting facts, thank you for pointing me out. I sure will check the cylinder geometry after installation, at least to avoid any abnormal issue. The engine I'm going to put my hands on was a factory rebuild unit with machined liner seat holes. The liners (together with pistons) were new there with no miles on. Some stupid guys just layed it on the ground in the yard for some years, probably being headed to scrap it in the end. Some water came in through the injector holes and rotted the liners. Although it was possible to make measurments. I did it and was surprized a bit since the liners were honed up to the upper limit of their size to be machined to. It seemed strange to me, if I hone a block (or do it in a shop) I'd make it about a lower limit or near a middle of a range.

BC, thank you for the links. Yes, I sure heard about that incient, just forgot those poor guys were an airplane crew. Makes me thinking you can newer know a place you would be absolutely safe. But we and out families and friends sure would be much safer when no such bastards step on the earth.

Cool old picture! The cab style on this one looks similar to the saved green NR.

Whan you recieve a paperwork from Mack museum you'll see the electic scheme there. That might light up the starter switch question. Don't know have you made a request though.

All that sounds bad and dangerous. Although many of us have some or some lots of wheels done. Would like to know is the matter of issue too bad condition of a rim/rim lock ring wich you can determine or anything you can't figure out?

Any chances to put an overdrive transmission?

That's pretty sad and terrible. Strange but I haven't heard anything about. Will check out news.

T2070 has quite fast owerdrive, 0.60. Much faster than T2090, T2100 and T2130.
