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.

A lot of them around here. Have no ideas how they are in relation to Vision although keep solid on damn bet roads.

Just met some parts described PAI and some Excel or PAI/Excel. Wonder is there any matter of difference? Haven't find the answer on the net and on PAI official site. I'm looking for R model rear diff gear sets, hope PAI parts are good enough to work in a hobby truck. Vlad

Are they both gassers or one is diesel? If you put the engine model on here it would help. Vlad

I have all the wheels and hubs off my 1990 MH613 removed. The plan was to paint them and change some tires. Having apart I found most of the bearings worn out so I ordered them and they're on a shelf now. When I started to look for hub seals Stemco parts catalog gave me 4.5 x 5-3/4 for rears and 572/582 with 563/567 bearings in the same 38000 Mack hubs. The bearings I've got are almost these although the hub's actual measurements gave me 5-5/8 x 6. I recognized such seals but they described "for trailer hubs". Looking the axle housing spindles I noted the sleeves pressed on with 5-5/8 OD. They seemed made with a lathe but too might be factory. All this looks strange to me. I see no trouble to put different seals but want you to know does anybody meet such the setup? The hubs look as common 38000's (34000's-?), there's written "Mack" on one of the spokes and "Canada" on the other. Thanks for any input, Vlad

I also think the clamp nuts all over my MH's spokes are the same 1-1/4. Got them (nuts) already painted, will look over their size tomorrow.

The front hubs on the AC seem to me as 24's. Were they avalible on late series AC's as an option?
