I have found the perfect match for my old B model. It's a 1954 D4 Dozer. Only problem is the tractor is too far away. I can pay, but the full shipping price is kicking my tail. Any Ideas???????

Thanks,

I stumbed across a 1964 5 ton military truck for sale, with the 673 in it. I am seriously considering the purchase of it. My question is, were they problematic?? I heard stories from certain individuals the pumps were prone to failure. I have some experience driving the 673's and loved it, having no problems. On the otherhand, I own a 1965 Multifuel 5 ton which of course has had its share of bad publicity, but I've never had a problem with it so far for 30,000 miles, which is alot for a military vehicle. Just wanted to hear the opinions from the pros here.

I have two B models with 673's. They are great engines and really reliable. One of mine sat for 7 years and after new batteries cranked right up with just a little hand priming. As for beign problematic...I know a guy that has used his b model (with a 673) for light duty construction work for the past 20 years and all he had to do was replace a battery cable. The engines are reliable and easy to work on..I say go for it.

Thanks for the help. I got the truck started by checking all the connections for the main wire. It seems I had a short going from one battery to the parrallel switch. New battery and tight bolts and vroom....its started. Thanks for the help and Ill look into getting a skemattic

Do you have any idea where to get a skemattic? I've tried the local shops but they all laugh at me. What about the mack museum??

I just replaced a Voltage Regulator on one of my B-61's. The truck ran fine when it was not hooked up...but now that I have all wires connected, the truck wont start. When the starter button is pushed, there is a strange clicking noise under what seems to be the drivers seat. after a few tries of this, I melted a terminal off one of the batteries (switched from 4-6volts to 2-12volts). I dissconnected the regulator but the noise continues. Any Ideas?
