    And that drilling in the left knuckle for the steering lever must be empty on the 1st gen RW and WS. As on the pictures. Nice looking dog. I have no idea on what they're asking but suppose it will find a new home soon. Thanks for posting.

    Good thing it was not a standard single cab and Mack engine. Otherwise it would have me scratching my head on possible scratching some pennies.

    Yup, the most parts are still avalible to keep a MH in original shape. Or could be fund used. Welcome to the forum! A few pics of your pedigreed pal are strongly appreciated!

    No less than awesome! And the great collection of dogs!

    Oh, looks like I'm late to the party. Best wishes! Hope the Day was Great.

    Watts Mack (the owner of this site) offered reproduction B-model harness in the past. But you should check out for avalibility. Another source may be vintagewiring.com (or so). They were Vintagewiringofmaine a few years back but the things seem getting a change.

    The length of the studs is definitely predicted by use of steel Budd's or alu Alcoa's but may also vary at the rear portion depending on were they fit into cast iron or aluminium hub. I'm also in need (with no rush) of a few those studs. But see no way ordering them unless removing at least one original piece for identification.
  10. Vladislav
    Agree. Spoke wheels don't look as Western thing.

    Many thanks. One more question (predicted by my hungry curiosity) Did Hayward plant produce truck components in-huse? Or were the majority supplied from Macungie and wendors? I mean RS should be assembled of Western components. And they must find their way to R.D. Knorr Industries.

    Good offer of those studs was at Bigrigchromeshop. They have on-line catalog with basic descriptions and dimentions. But seems you need one of the existing studs removed since they differ not only in OD but also length, threaded length and the splines they bite into the hub. I guess those studs are made by Dormann. But searching that way you need the particular Dormann part# which you don't know.

    RS600 were assembled at Macungie but I thought that was after Hayward factory close. There was discussion on that matter and as I recall Dough Maney or Kscarbel explained that that way. Those RS600 (not RS700) kept Western grille style. But that green truck was made in 1979 (just our guess from the tag though) what was before the closure in 1980. At the same time the tag tells Macungie PA and that gives no doubt. So turns out some RS600 were assembled at Macungie plant earlier that 1980?

    The spicer must be there since its function to heat insulate the pump. Otherwise gas in the pump may boil producing bubbles and making further pumping impossible and engine stopping. Yup, pictures are welcome!
  15. Vladislav
    Ok, one more interesting point. RS600 Valueliner made in 1979 in Allentown? Didn't Hayward still produce trucks in 1979?
  16. Vladislav
    Tri-axle dump may have heavy frame too. But it's definitely RS600 so the config must be for 600 series, doubtly heavier. RS600 Kit 807th made in 1979 makes sence.

    Wandered along Craigslist the other evening and found this truck. Don't remember seeing a tag with anything like that. Any ideas? https://providence.craigslist.org/hvo/d/johnston-1979-mack-rsk600-tri-axle-dump/7707957229.html

    No affilation, just passed by. https://easternshore.craigslist.org/hvo/d/cordova-mack/7713099624.html

    Hope you're having a Great Day! Many more to come!
  20. Vladislav
    Yup, Best Wishes! And as said above

    The Greek guy's name was Sakis. You can see his comment in that thread.
  22. Vladislav
    Thank you for the answer, Kevin. Those I saw (pre-2004 CX) were 4" wide and the length wasn't way off from a MH. The style of attachment didn't look different either. So I kept a bit of hope on possibility using them in MH/RW. Didn't take measurements though.
  23. Vladislav
    Thank you. I remember that post. The reason I didn't it wasn't really extensive describing plenty of details or every stage or step. Anyway the sheet metal job looks nice and impressive.
  24. Vladislav
    Would be interesting to learn weren't those RW/MH springs later went to CH and CX Vision? Or at least didn't they have the same length? Some Visions had only 2 leaves in the taperleaf pack I belive. But don't have sources of info to proof or argue.
  25. Vladislav
    Who was that? A Greece guy pops up in my mind with a F-model and I don't recall anybody else.
