    The Dynatard was first developed for use on the 865.Don't know if Jacobs had one available for the older V8's.

    Something like this one??????

    It has a NH220 in it right now.Trying to decide if I should leave it in,try to find an original gas engine,or repower it with something else.It has a 5 speed and 4 speed auxilary,and heavy Mack rears.

    Try a steering wheel out of a CH,they are smaller than a R model wheel.

    I wish I could bring them all home,way,way too many get scrapped or butchered up for parts.

    Picked up the first load on a package deal of new to me Macks today.1947 LT serial # 1001 and a single axle W71.Got a B67,a B615 and a B71 left to pick up.

    Yes,the hoods were same length,but both the RL/RS700 and the eastern R700 went thru a few hood design changes throughout their production runs.
  12. Superdog
    The RS700 was built in Hayward,CA,the R700 was built in PA.The RS had an aluminum grille,straight rail frame,and usually alot more aluminum components than a straight R700,and it was also available as a RL with an aluminum frame. The ENDT866 was 375 hp,ENDT865 was 325 hp,END864 was 255 hp.Just a wild guess,but I'd say the truck probably had a 865 and has been replaced with a 864,doesn't look like it has a turbo to me either.The 864 was available at 325 hp,but it had twin turbo's.

    It's time to boycott McDonald's.My youngest daughter spends alot of time riding with me since school got out,and she usually gets me talked into stopping at McDonalds for a Happy Meal.Stopped there today and guess what,the new toys are the "CARS"movie cars,all except one,Mack.

    At 50 mph with 7:49's on 24.5's,now,I believe I'd go to a 5:73,should put you about were you want. My B83 has 4:17's on 24.5's and it is way too fast,100+ mph

    The original Mack V8 was the END864,864 CID,introduced in '62 at 255hp,they also made a twin turbo version rated at 325 hp later on.The Maxidyne V8,ENDT865 came out in '70,available in 285 and 325 hp ,Thermodyne version rated at 350 and 375 hp came out a few years later.The last V8's were introduced in '79 as the ENDT1000,400 hp,they were 998 CID,became the E9 in '81,available in 400 and 440 hp ratings,underwent some changes in '85,offered in 400,450 and 500 hp.They ended in the US in the mid '90's,continued for awhile longer in Australia,where they were offered at 610 hp at the end.

    The "Elite" was just a trim level,not a separate model.Cloth interior,real wood grain dash panels,fancy seats,etc. The difference between a CH and CHR is that the CHR is right hand drive.
  17. Superdog
    Sounds like a real decent price,especially if it is a 237.I sure wouldn't let it get away.If it has the old cast trunion,check it for cracks,as well as the front spring hangers,not that they can't be repaired or replaced.
  18. Superdog
    I don't know the reason for the large gap/seam between the front corner panels and the main cab body.I've never done any body work on a MH,but I'm betting it had something to do with those corner panels being bolted on separately for ease of repair,kinda like the grille,it was in 6 sections,if part of it got damaged,you ddn't have to replace the whole thing.
  19. Superdog
    you could get a A40 with single rear axle,or tandem from the factory.
  20. Superdog
    The front is not split in 2 pieces,thats just a seam.The hinges are right down next to the bumper.thats where it tilts.
  21. Superdog
    Rob, I don't know what will work and what won't,but I got a 8V71T with a scored piston,probably locked up by now anyway,it's all there,come pick off what you need.Gotta 9513 behind it I need to get yanked off for another guy,if you think any of it will do you some good,let me know. PS Still ain't found one of those rubber pieces you need that was in better shape than the one you have,but I still have a couple trailers to look thru.

    Crash Test

    Superdog replied to David's topic in Odds and Ends

    They obviously wanted to use something that had a chance of damaging the barrier.How far thru do you think a Volvo would have made it,providing it ran long enough to reach 50 mph.
  23. Superdog
    Believe it or not,my '58 B-83SX wrecker will run over 100 mph.How much more,I've never found out,can't find a road long and smooth enough.It has a NTC290 Cummins,TRT7220 trans,and 4:17 Mack rears on 11R24.5 drive tires.

    How about posting some pics of the Mack switchers in the museum,I've only seen old factory pics. If you have a copy of the B model Photo Archives books,it shows some underside shots of the B44PBT "piggy back" tractor,made for use in rail yards. Also,if you want to see an Aussie B converted to rail use,rent the movie"Mad Max:Beyond Thunderdome".Movie is pretty lame,but the B model makes it worth watching.It's even air start.

    I don't remember the exact figures,as it was over 20 years ago,but I priced one at my dealer for my '76 R600 ,very expensive I thought,around $200.
