Is this B&D Transfer from PA?

Litzenburger Landscape in Harbor Springs, Michigan, stands out from all the other landscape businesses by using classic trucks for the company fleet.

If they still really use them in such a clean condition it's just fantastic

Nice baby

She needs some love for shure.

I mean not only the girl.

B sleeper is rare although I have some doubts on real chances to get 4 grand for her.

Some slow haggling with playing interest might make a deal.

Money saved means income.

Or how do you use to tell it the right way?

Those CDR carriers exist of the different ratios.

You should look for, it's stamped in the front of a carrier, 3.86,4.17,4.46,4.64 and so on.

Door handles and window cranks are avalible from Watts.

If we talk about outside handles you may also look PAI for them.

that thing makes my secker ptand up, at some point I guess I will have to drive south and check it out

Your point makes sence.

At least it much easier than to drive to down under.

I like the RW's and the trees.

The MH looks too young to die.

Although it might have a good grill

Hi Pawel!

I'm not ready to provide complete help to you this time but I try a little.

Little note - R-model brake system components and RW ones you're looking over are located slightly different.

So you better determine your request for RW.

1. The point you marked - there's no air valve but just pipes and harnesses.

The valve you mean is a threadle or foot brake valve.

It's located just underneath of a brake pedal so its flage lays on and is fitted to a cab's floor.

So a brake pedal fits to its top and its most body with pipes connected is under a cab.

You can see it on that pic but to the right and lower from the "1" point, the horizont pipes come from it.

You can find that valve on the different shots I sent to you when look carefully under the cab floor.

I think it's the same for R and RW. You can also see it on the Watts R-model shop in the "brake parts".

2. - not ready to tell, looks like a pressure governor but I'm not shure.

3. - more looks like the heater valve on the cooling sys.pipes, you need to follow those pipes to figure out.

4. - the wire connector to match cab and chassis harnesses.

Better wait for more advices because I might be some wrong.

Here are the pics of the threadle valve of that red RW from the side and the shot of the valve on my MH.

The last one is different, longer body with different connecting points, but it may help in general.

Vlad

That's cool!

How are things with licencing?

Aren't any troubles about RHD?

Cool pics Randy!

I'm familiar with some of them.

Too sorry not with the last one...

Looks like I catched up a piece of history

If they said "several" they might show out one day.

Will keep my eye on it.

Glad to learn you have it done.

If the new owner is planning to part it out I'm in interest for the gearbox.

As long as it's TRD-7...

lads I only use one and have air start to start with works a treat can even start with no battery just need a pen to push the air soliniod

Paul

What the air tank do you have for that starter?

Wich size and where on the chassis?

How many starts can you do from its charge?

My R-model with E6-350 fires up well with just one middle size battery when not cold.

Vlad

Thank you for the advice, will check them out.

The stuff in rear looks this way.

Also we power washed her today and found out interesting marks on the cab.

There were the traces of the previous owner's marks.

Looked like a big rhomb on the door with something like "TRANSFER" and "Lyberty, Pa"

Also you could clearly see #31 of that fleet on the door above the strip.

HAD NO IDEA IT WAS A MAHAN COLLECTION TRUCK! I THINK IF I WAS EVER TO SEE THAT COLLECTION ALL IN ONE PLACE I'D THINK I WAS IN HEAVEN!

Strongly recommended by me!

Thank you for posting, Tom.

Too sorry the goats were really small this time.

Ray, it really helps. And all the posted above helped also.

I got the lever boot with the spring off and put the lever in its place with the cab down.

It shifted relatively well with the exception of some play because of wear in the joints.

I found out the spring was broken and the boot wasn't solid so I'm looking for them now.

The air ride of the cab needs air bags. Watts raited them for about $70 apiece and I'm going to catch them.

Checked out the hydro locks today, they start making movements when applying the cab pump so look working.

The Neway suspension you showed me out is almost the same I have in my R's.

Although the MH setup is definitely not the "classic" air ride and not "Hendricson".

There are some strange to me points in it and some issues.

For example it looks like there were little steel ropes on the each side of the rear axles to the frame bolts for limiting up the suspension range.

I made some pics of it but it's difficult to figure out of what you see on them with the tires on.

Will try to make better ones and show out.

Don't you have a couple of 24.5 rims off the hubs?

I'd like to get them, especially if it's able to bring them to Secaucus NJ.

It's really cool to make such birthday presents.

Glad to see her Mike.

And the story is great!

Congratulations

Vlad , congratulations ! I will never be sad again to see a Mack get exported from the US. I didn't take into consideration there are other people in this world that love Macks. Have fun with it !

Thank you DigDug, There are shure many folks all around the globe who really love Macks. I met many in The Netherlands, shure there's a lot of in Australia and OZ. Too hope those African and South American guys also love driving Macks although it's really sad to see how they have to beat them to death with no service and care enough. Actually you can import a truck to Russia if it's not older than 3-5 years and Euro-5 emission level (the top one). The only other way is a partly knocked down form and with no chances to register it. That's sad. So I try to not miss any chance to get a local old Mack with papers. They are too rare beasts here though.

Hi Vlad..

video I took last year may help a little....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0abQu_FNno

not as close-up as you need but your rubber boot is missing from the bottom of the gear lever... the lever tends to flop around when tilted but seems to do a good job of re-aligning as you drop the cab.. I have an 18 speed

my suspension is also air but I have Mack stamped all over, do my pics look like yours?

you said you have park only on one axle... do I assume you have regular brake pots on rear driver??? not sure how many park brakes required on lower weight gvw... mine has 4 but is licenced for 63,500kg.... and they are only $45ea when on sale..!!!

BC Mack

Interesting info, BC Mack,

Just hadn't time enough on last days to get myself to the truck.

My rear suspension is different than your's, I'll take pics and put them on here.

Yes, the park brakes on the FR with regular chambers on the RR.

May put spring ones all around but should arrange additional lines that way.

Don't know the weight rating and so on, Watts said they couldn't track the VIN.

It's not the first time about them though.

And those for $45 - wich brands on your mind would work well?

I saw not only Bendix on the net but lots of different ones.

Does any one familiar with aftermarket stuff of the kind?

Have you finally got her home?

Any ideas on where to get from a sun visor like on the pic?

Probably an early one?

Too like how it looks (and the truck also)
