Vladislav

Early Mack NR's had 24's in front with 14.00-20 super singles in rear.

After reading all the fore-words I was waiting to see anything but was impressed deep enough.

Those pieces determine no way back indeed.

Couldn't you send me 2-3 of them to make slightly up my poor Canadian 3/8 rails?

Where do you plan to get new rails from?

Are you going to build it a double again or a single one?

Happy B-day!

I think we've spoken about those strange cabs before.

As far as I know some Mack chassis were imported to Europe as a chassis/cowl form.

It probably allowed to save cost using local-bulit cabs.

If the memory serves me good there's written in the Dutch Mack book there were 7 different suppliers of cabs for B-model.

There's also the photo in the same book of the B-model in the street with the driver by the wheel but with no cab!

The head lights in France were limited by height so many vehicles had them removed lower.

My second NR-model was in French army and the lights were not on original L-model brackets but on the hand made ones on the bumper.

Joe I just thought "reg" of "regular", now understood.

Here I had a "happy" chance to find 24 radials, no bias on a surface.

The originals were rags, but old and rough.

They also make a 24" Budd rim. 39 Baby Mack explained the rest in detail. 24" tube type are getting hard to find even in the Northeast. Not impossible but pricey also. I had them on a tandem dump never again if I can help it. Very heavy to work with and expensive. The rag 24" are not as heavy to handle. Joe D.

Joe, what do you mean of the reg 24"?

Tubless 24.5?

Thanks again Ron,

This might be useful for me.

I have such the 24 daytons with 24 rims and 12:00R24 tube tyres on my army Mack.

MH has 24.5 rims on spokes and I thought they could be interchrgeble.

Really I don't need that swap but now I know it's impossible.

A basic drivers license!! No CDL, no endorsements, no training and no DOT!

Here we need (needed, they have invented someting new and complicated just a week ago):

1 Bike starting from 50cc and everything 2 wheeled

2 Car - everything up to 3.5 tonns gross weight

3 Truck - everything more than 3.5 excepting "bus"

4 Bus - everything with 8 and more seats including driver

5 Truck and trailer - everything more than 3.5 gross when with a trailer

So if I drive motorhome of more than 3.5 metric tons GW I must have "truck"

And If I hook ANY trailer to such a motorhome I must have T&T, with is equal to CDL.

As for me I have "Truck" now, so able to drive my Mack tractor but with no trailer/semi.

24.5 rim fits on a 22 tube type hub ??!!...

That makes sence.

I just thought 24.5 fits onto 24 and 22.5 onto 22's.

And... What tubeless may fit onto 20?...

Thanks a lot Ron, just had no mind on this easy thing.

As for the tyre sizes, I found out a couple of misteries also.

Once I got off a tyre shop 11R24.5 tubless tyre and 11.00-24 tyre and a rim.

Being wanting to save the space in my car's trailer I resolved to just lay 24.5 tyre on the 24 rim being shure the first had lager ID and must fit on with some play. To my great surprize it wouldn't fit free but with a forse. So they both 24 and 24.5 looked like had almost the same fitting hole!

Another story. I bougt 11R24.5 tyres for my R and layed them with the 12R24 tube type tyre I had for my NR army truck.

Thought 11R24.5 must be about close of the overall diameter to 12R 24. Or maybe less a little bit.

What i've found out you can see on the picture.

This reminds me the talk about CDL.

Do folks really need bicycle licence only to drive such a rig?

What is "14615 trans" ??

Thanks Larry, I also have that stuff in plans to get over.

Everything in my R-model needs attention and spares.

The rears is not exception.

I'm looking for a pair of decent doors, would like two sets of the tank running boards (L&R), maybe with the straps.

Might be interested in a good T2090 but not shure I'll be able to pay a real price.

Need stuff shipped to NJ some way.

BS!

The most thing I worry about is that we here strongly go your way.

Sounds good Barry!

Might a wish list be used for not only items showed out in the online store?

I love the EH's.

Sorry, not ready to start a deal yet.

Vlad

Interesting rig.

I like how the front bumper was made of an original one.

vision386: Mark I grow Honey crisp and Fuji's apples then for sweet cherries its Tieton, Early

Robin, Skeena, Lapin, Rainier and Regina

Vladislav: nada on the tire burning too many air cops in the valley, if we get caught burning lumber its bad news, burning of logs ok, just don't run them thru a sawmill. Please tell me your country hasn't got this stupid yet.

Yes, my country is big, I can burn tires anywhere and anylong

Just kidding

Actually I may burn (and do) old wood planks, paper, tree branches and some other garbage in my property with no troubles.

I'm on the side of a little town wich is just nearby the capital (Moscow).

Something of a kind like Newark to NYC.

If I burn a tire I'd estimate chances to find police near my door not more than 50:50.

And the same about fire fighters.

Although the neighbours would be pissed hard and I'm shure will make me alot of troubles on keeping and working over my trucks if I really do that.

We should live easy and friendly.

If you drive a highway about 100-200km off the capital or further you have a chance to see burning tires in woods aside of a road.

Don't know who and why do that but sometimes it happens.

And one more interesting point to end up this theme.

Grave diggers, when really cold, far below the freezing point, use to burn out a tire to melt a ground for doing their job.

Haven't seen that in person but heard that's a common practice.

Vlad

That all sounds great.

From the posted earlier I resolved Bighorns came to be an extremely rare beasts.

Glad to know some ones still have them in operation.

And... OD, I haven't seen any dirt on that grey KW's wind shields

I also think that way.

Pennsilvania is a friendly place, I like it.

Not shure I'll be able to keep the stickers because both the wind screens had cracks.

Although I hope to try remove them heating with a fan.

No, I have to miss Macungie this time.

There's the other event I'm going to visit near the dates.

Omaha Beach, Normandy, France.

6 of June - 70 years since D-day.

And that story is planned to be Mack-involved.

Email worked for me fine.

Just don't fill them up with questions, looks like they owerloaded with requests.

Locking power divider in tandems is a relatively common stuff.

If you're looking for inter wheel lock that's another story.

Some ones use wind machines to produce energy, others have to burn gas to produce wind...

What a crazy world!

Hope all your trees go well and the harvest will pay back everything.

As for the neighbours I think if they were really unhappy with the wind machines you may get heat burning old truck tires

It's really a shit to meet a mixer just in front of you when you're in your lane, the sun is shining, the road dry and every thing else seemed easy.

Makes sence that not only U-models requires a contra weight.

Nice looking bunch of Macks.

And the girl is tight dressed this time. If she's a girl... But she's not a coil definitely.
