Allow me to rephrase that last part, we should all count ourselves lucky, and a big thanks to Barry.

Are the exports CKD or are they completly assembled?

That's a helluva view you got there. Just hope the old Bulldog doesn't have any trouble breathing at that elevation! Exporters? A damned shame I tell you, but I understand why! How much did it cost to move just the one truck cross country?

Hate to tell you, but the old time Mack Dealerships went the way of the old time Macks. When they're gone, they're gone for good. What Barry has going on here on BMT is a boon to anyone interested in old time Mack trucks. Count yourself lucky and give Barry a hand!

Happy Birthday Doug!

You know what you have to do, take pictures, lots and lots of pictures!

Ernie, you need to run for office Bullhusk=True American Patriot!

Rick, what is that "Panic Button" for? Does it Automatically roll up the windows and lock the doors so stranded Peterbilt drivers can't get you?

Try these images from BMT Member Erik Larsen http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?app=gallery&module=images&section=viewimage&img=6545 http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?app=gallery&module=images&section=viewimage&img=6546 http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?app=gallery&module=images&section=viewimage&img=6547

That is great story!

It's a MaxAir 40/40A, used only on CX and CH models with vendor axles.

That number doesn't come up but 1M2V121C2CM001201 does. Says its an RWS721LST. Build Date 4/8/82. Built with an EM9 400, TRXL1070A transmission, Mack 92/93 series differentials with 5.32 ratio (looks like automatic power divider, no lockout), FAW537C Steer axle, looks like axle mounted steering gear, 3 leaf front springs, and Neway rear air ride suspension.

Looks like they might even have that 590GB1152B gasket. I'm not sure what kind of hoops you have to jump through to create an account with them, but if you know an OEM part number the link above will let you check their catalog.

Hey Mike, here's a link http://www.paiindustries.com/. They still offer a lot of parts that Mack has quit offering as well as some parts for modern trucks.

Has anybody heard from him lately?

Not to be flippant, but: your transmission= Gallagher + ripe watermelon! Hope you can find a replacement.

Here you go Mike, these are the pages relating to the filter pad adapter. I'm not sure it's still available, but it was in a gasket kit too, part number 126SB184 for the kit, 590GB1152B for the gasket. Oil FilterPad Adapter.pdf

Mike, is this the pad with tapped pipe ports that you are referring to? If so the gasket number for plate part number 368GB29D is 590GB1152B. I don't know if it's still available or exactly how thick. I would imagine it's the same thickness as the other gaskets. Thickness shouldn't have an effect on oil pressure. I'll try to scan the relevant page for you later tonight.

Maybe related to rear suspension ride height?

In keeping with the tradition of taking pictures of things pioneered by Other Dog, here are some more pictures of things. Mostly just because they're neat looking old steam powered generators.

Les' picture is showing the correct location of the serial number stamping, it should be on the passenger side of the truck, front of the engine, just in front of the where fuel pump bolts up, stamped into the bulge on the cylinder block.

That's a definite possibility. This might help. Filter Housing Gasket Information.pdf
