 Bad News: The early Australian Mack records were disposed of into the dumpster during one of the many changes in Mack ownership;

Good News: The records were saved by a private individual and are still in existence and may be available.

Just to be clear:

Changing the polarity of the wiring to a Mack 12 (or 24) volt starter will NOT change the direction of rotation.

Some of the information above is wrong.

A starter will not change direction of rotation by changing the polarity.

This has what to do with:

Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion

Look in the Wiki section of this site.

They may still be accessible. 

If not,  pm me and I will try to send them to you.

Would you mind saying what the parts cost for this project was?

If you don't want to post it - just send me a private message.

Thanks

Send a request to the Mack Trucks Historical Museum through their website with the information from the tag.

They have an amazing set of records - the fire truck section has hundreds of thousands of blueprints.

I am not sure what the wait time is right now but is will take several weeks to get a complete package on your truck.

"ENDT 673 in cold weather" is the header on this thread.

I am not arguing with anybody about where to hold the foot feed - just showing what the Mack manual says about starting an ENDT 673 engine in cold weather.

That sticker sure isn't for any of the ENDT 673 engines.

The same book shown above, Form No. TS-442, shows an operating range (rpm) of 1,500 to 2,100, idle speed 550 -575. Governed speed: full load 2,100, no load 2,350.

Load it up heavy and lug it down to 1,020 rpm, it will be fine - for a short time, then stop and replace head gaskets.

You don't need no stinking block heater if you have one of these and a box of capsules!

The manual says nothing about holding the foot feed all the way down - It says: "Depress accelerator half-way."

If you think that old truck is going to ride like your $75,000 pickup by airing down the tires, you are going to be disappointed.

The idea of running tires designed for 100 psi at 45 psi under a 12,000 - 14,000 pound truck is about as stupid as you can get,

The Mack Trucks Historical Museum has a Facebook page.

Doug Maney, Curator, recently posted an update on the Museum status on that page.

If you don't do FB, you could ask Doug to repost it here. He has been a regular here for years.

Draggin Wagin-

Has anyone tried to use the Wiki section of this site lately?

Everything I try to open says the ".pdf has been removed" or the link is completely gone. Have been looking in the sections primarily in the B model areas.

Thank you very much.

Is there a similar book for the SuperLiner II  (1985 to the end)?

67Rmodel- If you are seriously interested in knowing the history of this as the 1st Magnum send me a PM and I will give you my phone contact information and you can call and get the rest of the story,

That is AirEquip hose - the fittings are made to be taken apart and reused. 

Brush them on a wheel, lock the swivel is a vise and unscrew - backward thread to get the fitting out of the hose end.

The fitting will have the size stamped in it.

I sent you a private message.

For Sale: SOLD

Mean Green-

I sent you a private message.

Some of this is repetition:

Remove the inner window frame;

Remove the complete vent window assembly;

Remove the large Phillips head screws holding the door latch (in the jamb) and push that assembly in to clear the door jamb;

Pull out the clip holding the lock cylinder and remove the cylinder and operating rod;

Remove the screws holding the outer door handle and pull that whole assembly out;

Remove the screws around the outside of the inner panel;

With the window all the way down you should be ready to remove the entire window assembly;

Remember that the side glass is tempered and will shatter into lots of little pieces if too much force is applied.

The Rajah truck is a R800, E9, 9 1/2' wide prime mover and is part of the Osborne operation based at Champions, Rockhampton, Queensland, AU
