  1. Didn't intend any insult- sorry about that.

    I hauled it out of the woods for the current owner about 15 years ago- it had a Mack gas engine at the time, but I didn't pay any attention to what it was. Since then it has had a 673 and a quad added.

    It is definitly a kitbash- before and after. I am doing some more research to see if there are full build sheets. Don and I did a quick search during Trucktoberfest and found some evidence of it as a B 52. I think a misstamp is a possibility. Couldn't get a good photo/ read on the frame stamp.

  2. From above:

    "Mack never made a B52 at all.. B53 yes"...

    See the picture below- somebody better call Mack and tell them that the chinese counterfiters are back at work--

    There are some records of this truck in the archives in Allentown- (this post has moved on from what it started from- this information has nothing to do with the truck for sale at the start of the thread)

    Usually not a good idea to say "never" or "always" when talking about these old trucks- can come back to bite you.

  3. A young man by the name of Scott Lester, Centerville, NY, owned a Farquhar steam traction engine and showed it at many antique tractor shows about 10 years ago.

    Don't know if he still owns it, but he seemed to consider himself an expert on the Farquhar.

    Good luck

  4. Lmackattack-

    I am trouble shooting/ fixing the front rear and rear rear temparture guages on my RW 613. The wiring diagrams I have from Mack don't mention or show anything for these 2 guages. Do you have any info that would be of help?

    There is a single 14 guage wire coming from each sensor that was cut off just in front of the cab/ firewall. Haven't been able to find continuity from the guages to anywhere on the fire wall.

    Any help?

    I ran the RW613 today and tried the shift the way you described above-- It does take a little getting used to but it does seem to be a better transition between low and high.

    Thanks- love it when I learn something new.
