    Glad you've found it. No success on this step although you have at least the intermediate point to test electric.

    One of the Macks I have is the original 707 gasser. It runs but needs attention. If it had been dieselized I just wouldn't buy it.

    Thank you, interesting.

    Ken, you must be lucky with your only five. Less miss shifts and minds to remember wich one you drive and what to do with others. At least until you have no plans to run fat chicks in the trailer.

    Welcome! I also like L-models and would like to see your truck in and out. Feel free to ask questions about. There are specialazed forums for engine, transmission, electric etc, the places to put special questions and to read for general info on the matter. There's also Wiki support forum with a lot of facts you might need.

    I'm pretty shure the light switch on your truck wich is an L-model is a separately one from the brake pedal/ brake actuator. It must be fitted on the left frame rail under the cab and put into the control brake line. My truck (NR wich is basicaly an L) has it like on the picture. Has two nuts with wires on the top. I saw the same swich or of a nearly the same kind on other L-models I looked for that point. By the way I also need the one because the plastic part of my switch has the tread broken and I'm afraid to loose brake air if it might be blasted off by pressure.

    Too interesting unit to work on my mind. I'm not in a concrete business but used to provide some construction. Don't know how they are really easy to deal with and about parts but shure they can do some special works.

    I always like to see pics you post. You have chosen definetly nice color combination for your R. Does the red B have a factory right hand drive? I'd like to see that Atkinson also. And the environment on the backgound of the first two images is neat.

    Look over the plans you want to use the truck for. If you need it just to go to shows there's a reason to keep it with the original engine. Gas cost some $$ but you'll save alot on a swap. There are less and less original gassers and it's a point to think on my mind. Vlad.

    Maybe you better use the twin screw chassis for the wrecker you bought for parts? It might look funny of you can shorten it to fit the body size.

    I ordered a set of peanuts and inner cam for R-model from Watts a couple of years ago. Those parts were installed by previous owner when I just discussed with him on buying the truck and helped him about. There's the record in my copybook of the wedge set (peanuts) was $171 and the cam was $163. I also remember an outer cam was more expensive because it was of a bigger size and we didn't get it. Probably I'll get to that question in the future when start to rebuilt rears.

    Too interesting note indeed. Thank you for the Mackological test. I noted long ago that early Macks and Saurer's have much in common but didn't know MAN was involved. By the word, isn't the history of MAN brand not too long in time? I think the company called Bussing in early days, or maybe there was a different story?

    Congratulations Leon! Glad to see you've got what you wanted. How are things about B-wrecker project?
  14. Vladislav
    It's nice to know that beautiful truck has his own story. And yes, there's E9 under the hood now, you can see it on OD's photos.
  15. Vladislav
    Looks like you have done well work with your camera. Many thanks for posting, nice trucks.
  16. Vladislav
    Nice!

    Nice looking dog! Congratulations. Hope you'll turn the issue out soon.

    From the face she looks like she need some love indeed.

    Happy Thanksgiving my American friends!
  21. Vladislav
    Congratulations! It's a great deal done indeed.
  22. Vladislav
    Don't remember to see any pics of B's or L's with those fiberglass front ends.
  23. Vladislav
    I've already bought them from there, they're as perfect as on the picture. Thanks to Barry

    I more like how the chicken looks than the cop. Don't use to get too much vine Tom. Hope for the best in that story.

    Have you ever turned the crank of the motor by hand? Vlad.
