  1. Wow, all that makes sence. I unerstood the general princip (and i's important!) although it looks like your truck has slightly different design than my one of 1988. I think it must have the same basic components such as a double-check and TP valves. But the brake light switch is not attached to the threadle or any other vavle. It is located on the firewall and attached to the plastic air line. That line is blindsideed (doesn't go to any other point excepting the switch) so I think it just starts from the same point as on your truck the switch is fitted in. Or something like that. By the time I don't work over my brake system but will do (at least I'm going to). Everything about air is ruined due to wide repairs using steel wire or screw clamps. Russian KamAZ rear chambers have their place and some of them are pretty leaking. Air ride bags aren't far from the brakes. I remember the list of "done" when you offered your R for sale. Should say you was doing it the right way. I mean repairs. Thanks again for a care about my light green beast. I don't have a manual for an R or any newer Mack (newer then 60's), that's why I have my knowlede limitated
  2. That doesn't sound good although the best thing we can do is to not do such things ourself and try our best. Sometimes I think though it's the worst to deal with idiots.
  3. There must be some special brake lines arrangement to allow the trolley valve bring pressure into the brake switch line, and if I understand correct, to the truck's chambers, but don't activate them Thanks you for the advice, I will remember your dad from time to time
  4. Excepting me Shure useful thing if you drive a lot. I just bevare one more thing in a car I need to pay attention to. Once I presented it to my dad on his B-day couple of years back. He enjoy it, like to see the movies of his roads.
  5. Thank you mates for the ideas on the matter of the engine, I just had doubts it could have V8 under the short hood. Do you really need in Australia whole a second air filter to supply a tip turbine? I thinks it blows a bunch of air just back to the outside. And I really like the way of living described above
  6. I might be interested in the pair of carriers if the ratio is good although your offer sounds pricy. Vlad
  7. What are the rears in B-61? I mean the ratio. Might be interested in the pair of carriers.
  8. Cool goat's pics this time! Eeeeh, no, I mean legs pics... Ok, all that above is cool anyway. The stick bug is interesting creature, I have never seen them. Maybe they just don't used to get out of the woods in my area to be seen though. And that contenkerous garden tool - I had no luck starting my second R-model recently. It used to start and work good about 3-4 months back. 2 days back it didn't. There was enough fuel and enough starter revs. Have no ideas what's wrong The only cheer was I didn't need to pull a rope trying to fire it up.
  9. Holy hamburgers (sorry for my French) !! These trucks are neat. Thank you for posting, it's always nice to see Aussie Macks
  10. Any ideas on what that yellow baby has under the hood?
  11. More looks like U to me. Nice clean truck.
  12. Please tell all the nuances whet it's done. Hope to get myself over the cab soon.
  13. I'm absolutely with you Mick! Although it's not a true Aussie rig. The stylized one
  14. Licence off for 6 months for such things in my neck of the woods
  15. If not a big secret, what tire size do you have? Vlad
  16. Looks really beautiful As for me Google has never got that thing to my screen. And it's pretty shure the truck is not from my neck of the woods
  17. You folks are right about the Swanzey B. I had luck seeing it in person. It was for a show in Holland in 2011. I didn't do many pics of. It was not good located to the sun light and I missed my attention being walking in between of the treasures. The actual owner of it is from GB. About a year back or so he posted on here the story how he bought it from Swanzey and imported.
  18. Holy sh*t! Sorry to learn that. It makes thoughts for the future... Not a nice story at all anyway.
  19. The last figure looks like nothing anyway.
  20. Nice sceneries to live in Especially when they can make some income
  21. Maybe to put together all the 3 threads some way?
