Vladislav

Welcome!

Pretty shure it's NR-14 or 15 with the aftermarket body. 1944-45. Front bumper and head lights lowered seem as Austrian army after the war conversion. Mack L-model front shutters. The engine is too probably 673, the swap could be in 60's-70's-80's and very late years also. Very easy to, most the things match. If you look at the side of the left frame rail right above the front axle beam you'll find the chassis#. It must be NR4D-.....D. This would tell more. Where in Israel is the truck? I saw some pics of them on the net, there might be many in your country. Vlad

A red sky with a blue sky are awesome. Too like the yellow EHU and the paired one wich is not seen in that pic. The dog looks quite the same as Other dog, maybe just cleaned up wery well... I mean just a lighter colored one Sorry we have to loose teeth sometimes. Maybe we'll get back something other instead?

From the pics it doesn't seem so attractive to part with a big stack. At least they should take it outside in a sunny day to show the world its beauty. Thank you for posting.

Cool rig! Must be in very good condition. Don't know your plans about it, I had a thought to build a camper using a tanker body.

You can go from 22 tube wheels (split rims) to 24.5's. But you can not from 22.5 tubless'. Need larger hubs for. Alu's might be stud piloted (ball seat) and hub piloted. Have different # at least referring to Alcoa. For example 24.5' Alcoas are 983100 (101,102,103,120,121,122,123) for stud piloting and 983600 (601,602,620,621) for hub type. If you're going to convert to budds/Alu's you heed to swap the hubs. You must determine to buy hub-piloted hubs or stud-piloted. I'd go to the hub type, theyre newer and easier to get wheels. Don't forget about studs themself - they're longer for alu's than for steel budds. Stud nuts (and studs) in stud-piloted and hub-piloted styles have different size and thread. Vlad

Have a smooth fly Tim! Life must be good sometimes, we work too much to be it happened different. Enjoy the trip, warm weather, seeing your lovely kid, and sure NZ Macks !!!

Wow! Paul, I'm very surprized of your skills translating from Russian. Couldn't do it such good, my hats off

Happy Thanksgiving BMT!

Ok Randy, I will try. I have some doubts though they know how to apply those Lathinic letters in a correct order. For those who wonder what's written there - the groom was a truck driver and his friends were also and they did a marriage train with the trucks. Came to the registration hall. I have no ideas did they do the same to a chirch, here's an official registry in the office and in the chirch if you want.

Found this on my email news page today. About the same area I bought my DMM from. http://auto.mail.ru/article/53045-video_dnya_svadba_surovogo_uralskogo_dalnoboishchika/

I may suppose it worth more than all threasures over the world but I'd much more likely just have what you recently sold. Just my point of view from long long ways off though.

Any suggestions on the rear diffs ratio? Might be interesting if they're about 6.5 and it's possible to ship them to NJ.

Looks impressive, thank you for sharing. Wonder how do you go up hill with all that expedition.

Sounds good. They dealerships probably have too expensive dry lube...

Congrats on the deal

Thanks again for the advice. We deal with Barry sometimes, he's a classy guy. It looked he was being busy and re-directed me to Tracy. He's also very good but used to be slow. This time I found the correct seals locally (SKF) so didn't want to disturb Watts folks with no actual need.

I like the IH and the smiling wood. Thank you Tom.

Glad to know you have it done. Did you make a contact area paint test? Gap is not what you only need to set up.

Many thanks guys and blokes, I just heard some times on here that some PAI stuff isn't that good. Will try myself

Congratulations! You will keep memories about these days for a long long while. Hope long enough. I too hope the new truck will keep well for so long.

That's probably good to start so early. Cool

Congrats on the new look! It shure worth the work

If I make a cut out I'd do it at the frame rail side. No chances to see. This past summer I have done my two wich were very similar to your one. Half a can of gravel inside with a couple gallons of diesel. Hanged with a couple of straps and wobbled by hands. As many times as you can. Every about an hour during a couple of days. Refreshing diesel from time to time. Turned out not absolutely clean but very good to be used as a diesel in the future. Gas is another story, much more chances to get rusty. Vlad

Here the magic begins. Stemco 392-9094 and SKF45099 are both what I was going to see there, 4-1/2 x 5-3/4. But the hubs no doubt have the bores for 6. Combined with 5-5/8 sleeves it was asking for different seals, and I figured out they exist - Timken 370025A, 380025A, SKF 46305.
