  1. I may skip a gear on mine every now and then empty, and sometimes even loaded if I just broke over a rise or something, just depends on the moment and whether i can keep RPMs reasonably good, have to agree with HK, dont be lugging too much or you will pay for it later, all works better to maintain that RPM band...Randy
  2. I pull an excavator and dozer around with a 61B, tops out bout 57 or so, 10 speed duplex and its so much fun moving it makes me want to finish jobs real quick so i can move again so I guess its really making me some money. Whatever B you get,,,enjoy,,,Randy
  3. LOL,,,yeah,I will just get a complete assembly,,thanks fellows,,Randy,,,(My daughter has a guitar pick Keith Richards came off the stage and handed to her at an austin texas concert)
  4. yeah HK and Rob, got out there this evening looking under injector pump,,lo and behold there it was sticking straight up, traced cable up to air cleaner tube climbed up on front tire, looked behind tube and there it was all wadded up and tied with tiewraps, sorta hidden in middle of engine. Wadded up like that cant be good for cable specially old cable,,anyway got it all straightened out, got all the oil in it i could, still hand clamps in 2 places on it to give it a good slow curve to firewall,,hooked it to back of tach,,,,no work,,I guess it must be broken somewhere,,I may unhook it from tach in the morning and see if it spins,,but i doubt it. I guess i need a new cable dont i Thanks for all help and input HK and Rob,,,later,,,Randy
  5. Thanks Rob, yeah, im missing the entire cable all the way to the injector pump, on the back of the tach it has threads for the cable to screw onto. I havent checked out the end at the pump very thorouly yet, did find the hole in firewall where they removed cable though, thanks for the help, i just gotta start scrounging and find some parts. Really appreciate all the help,,,Randy
  6. I took cover off top Rob, looked at back of tach, must be mechanical, cable is completely gone from back, no trace of it even hanging or anything, I turned little brass knob where it hooks in and tach registers(I almost did 100 rpm with my fingers)I guess i need to get a new cable, only saw one hole on back of injector pump where it may screw in, no other wires or place for wires on back of tach,,,thanks,,,Randy
  7. Where does the tachometer connect to the engine on an 86 R688 ST? Engine was put in before I bought it and previous owner said it never worked after that, its a 300,,,thanks,,,Randy
  8. yeah rob,,,never ever never burn bridge behind you,,matter fact paint it and put up safety railings before you leave,,,Randy,,(got cab air bags on r model rob,,,swwwwweeeeeettt!,,,
  9. I had a girl friend one time who said jobs were always falling in her lap, found out she was a prostitute so i let her go,,,only visited her once a week after that (and stopped kissing her) randy
  10. mission accomplished, wasnt too bad,,,feel like im riding on a cloud now,,,thanks all,,,randy
  11. ah and alas HK, once again you are on the money bout that, I have the distinction of actually destroying a range synchro long long ago in a galaxy far far away, it wasnt pretty,,,keep us straight and informed HK,,,,later,,,randy
  12. Well Rob, may not be any parts for you after all, I made the longest drag to date with ole killer B today, 48 miles one way, and she just purred all the way up and down the hills with komatsu dozer riding her. I was a little wore down when i got there but it sure was an enjoyable trip, may just keep her doing dozer duty after all,,,randy
  13. Thanks Rob and HK, Im gonna get started on that,,,Randy
  14. thanks HK, yeah, I was looking at the front cab mounts, they do look like they are designed to rotate a little, I just gotta figure out how to get those old bags out, thanks for the help,,,randy
  15. Thanks all, gotta go thinks boout some all dis yall hit me with then now,,preciate all advice,,,,randy(going out to look at froont cab mounts and get old beanbag out of barn)
  16. thanks, how bout it HK or any and all gurus, it kinda looks like it may be aftermarket to me,,,thanks all,,,randy
  17. Thanks guys, I had a hard time with a state trooper who just didnt wanna buy into no factory seat belt story, he wound up on his cell phone getting another ruling, finally got off phone shaking his head and said your legal, you can go, but i dont like it. While you are here, Vanscott, i bought a 1986 mack R-600 dump truck with 14 ft. bed. Behind the cab across the top of frame is big piece of steel,,welded to front of it extending under back of cab it has 2 small air bags with a short shock absborber on each side, there is a cover over it in cab of truck with 2 large bolts looking like they praobably go through center of each bag. Leveling arm is unhooked right now, when i moved it to cycle air to bags (cab is sagging back away from hood right now),,both bags are leaking pretty good, i guess thats why they had leveling arm unhooked. My question is how hard are these to get out and replace,,go from inside cab at top or underneath? thanks,,,,randy
  18. Did a 1961 Mack B-model come equipped with seat belts?
  19. Thanks Joe, ole killer B is in tip top shape mechanical and all, not a rattle or squeak, interior redone,, new rims, rubber, Its biggest downfall is not turbocharged, still pulls dozer pretty good, just falls on her face kinda quick on good hills and keeps you busy in the cab, but still fun to drive,,,later...Randy
  20. mine looks like that, but it says 2MB3178, I better keep mine anyway, we have swarms of june bugs here in spring, I want one of those forward looking scoops that goes on top, saw some on here a good while back, turn it into a ram air,,later..Randy
  21. you think that will be easy to find on an 86 superdog? (in mint pristine,deloused and debugged condition?)
  22. I think you go to your profile and edit there Joe, Im just an apprentice computer moron but tklhat may be the one called avatar i think, maybe one of these gurus will step in and help you,,,Randy
  23. Okay thanks for help MACKS and info on that other stuff, weather gets friendlier here, will go get that checked out and up to specs, you been a big help...later...Randy
  24. Thanks Rob, will get a pic of the other side tomorrow which has bolts missing, hinge crooked, and ugly crack,,,thanks again,,,randy
