good idea about the shims..  here in the states we get trained to "Replace"  but a "Mechanic" can re-use and Fix it !!  I have a hard time, at times, explaining that you can, "Fix It!"   jojo

used that beer can shim on many a U joints!   terry

That is quite the PTO on it!   terry

So the plunger just threads into the pump,no other parts?

Should be two nuts on top of lift pump, with plastic check valves under them, be sure to put the primer on the one that draws from the tank.   terry

remember if you are going to block the radiator with cardboard ; do it slowly. have seen a cardboard thrown in front of a running radiator because "it was cool to see it stick there" . the quick negative draw will bend a fan blade into the radiator. more with  the plastic fans then the older metal ones. 

AI don't think a 61 B model is going to have that kind of a fan problem, how about when the shutters are shut in cooler weather?   terry

You ain't put a starter in till you try a DM or U model with one of them old heavy delco starters by yourself! Don't think i could do it anymore.   terry

Be interesting to see what Joey Mack thinks about this!   I don't think the lower end will take it.   terry

the idler on side mounts was usually  there to set the pto in opposite  rotation.  

On all the the older ones triplexes and so, the countershaft gear was so small it need that idler gear to reach it. and then most pumps had two stubs to hook your shaft to for what direction you needed to go.    terry

early rear mounts had a shaft out similar to the floating axles . always mounted on the bottom counter shaft ; allowing  oil to flow through  and the lower counter shaft had a hole in the middle with splines for the PTO shaft to mesh with. very simple install, no shims /spacers or backlash setting like the old side mounts. only thing that had to be done (with extreme caution) was to slightly pull the countershaft  out ;it was tapered and turn it 180 degrees. too far and the internal shims fell off shaft and someone's ass was grass.

Yeah i wasn't sure if the shaft had a slot or splined.   terry I have shimmed alot of side pto's shim the idler gear to the trans then take off and shim to the pto then assemble!

The rear mounted PTO'S on that trans that i have seen were run on one of the countershafts, had a special slot in the countershaft to turn the PTO.  terry

If memory serves me right, right behind fill plug.  Terry 

Surprised they would even mess with a lift axle with a mine truck.   good looking truck too!   terry

I got ahold of Norman and he said he would look and see if he has one. He will look for a couple other parts that I need but said that he doesn't have much left anymore. Lost much of it to a fire. Thanks for the heads up Bob. Really enjoyed talking to Norman. Really nice guy. 

Did he lose many of his trucks?   terry

If your using a double disc clutch, it has to be the deeper bell housing, not sure if they had the deeper one in aluminum.  Terry

Can’t you just bend it where it is comfortable to shift and clears everything?  Terry

Every one I have seen were solid.  Terry

Nice to hear results from help here.   terry

Did you check oil pump for pieces or damage?   Terry 

Right frame rail just infront of rear spring hanger on steer axle, should be stamped there.    terry

can you unhook it at the injection pump and put a drill on it and spin it to see if the tach head works?  you will need to be sure the cable is pushed all the way into the sheath, so you may only have a nub to chuck in the drill..  jojo

What pumps have the tach drive on them, i thought all the earlier mack engine tachs  were driven off the acc. drive shaft?      terry

Sounds normal to me!!    terry

Very interesting read on the french macks!    terry

Yeah years ago the inner bearing was packed with grease with a seal in the middle of the hub, the outer was oil fed from the rear end, most guys just elimidated that middle seal and fed both bearings with rearend oil, can't help with the proper seal number if you go that route.    terry
