Check the vent for being plugged. terry

I drove a 18 spd. Behind a 460 on a low boy and loved it! Terry

We had a r model mack for a contractor i once worked for, had that cross torque arm added ,no extra plate for reinforcement and kept cracking frame between bolt holes, terry

And throw them in the freezer before installing them? terry

awsum, hope you can keep it off. terry

Never realized there was different thickness housings on the stamped ones. terry

That’s what i found out, seems like the gasket would let it work loose. terry definitely had to have everything real clean.

There is a gasket, but i was resealing a axle on a weekend with no gasket, al;ways heard you never really needed one, so i put some sealer on axle flange and never used a gasket again. terry

Thats fine, was just tossing that out there. terry

I have always used some silicone sealer on axle flange with no gasket, never had a problem. terry

Oh yeah knock it out, and go with a stemco or other newer inside seal , then lightly pack some grease on both bearings to lube them till the bearing cavity fills with gear oil, before i put outside bearing in, i would have some gear oil in a plastic squeeze bottle and squirt it in cavity and put outside bearing in. terry

If your putting new seals on s cams, be sure to put the one towards the slack adjuster in backwards, so when greasing it will leak past that seal and not blow the brake shoe side seal. terry

Isn't there a part number for the seal and wear ring kit? terry

My first dump truck in “73” was a B 421 six cylinder gas with a baby quad, drove it for one year for another guy, bought it and drove it for another year, then bought a B61 , 711 with a turbo ,triplex trans, tractor, stretched it for a dump box and put p/s on it and drove it for ten years, then bought a DM487 had a scania with automatic, pulled all that out, then put a 237 with a quad, ran that for quite a few years, then got real ambitious and done a newer cab, 285 engine with a mack 12 speed, and a whole different cutoff 4:17’s with camel backs, i could bury that 80MPH speedometer, engine would turn 2300. Terry.

there was a local contractor that had a R700 years ago with a V8 and a six speed, must have been a EM9 series? terry
