Saw on face book today under F Model Mack's that the first F model was an F-715 with a 255 hp Mack V-8 and a 20speed triplex.

That post was about the first F model bought by a company in Australia,the very first F model was most likely 711 powered as both the F and 711 engine came out about the same time in 1962

I think I do..let me check my pile

if you do email me,I can't always get in here after Barry updated things,been kinda working last couple days,only took 5 tries tonite to get in,but I doubt it lasts. my email is : macksrus@mepotelco.net

do you have any front spring hangers?

It's sad to say,but for some reason,2004 trucks,especially the CX were literally nightmares,my brother's new '04 was so bad Mack finally bought it back,the '06 that replaced it has well over 1 million miles on it now and has been a very good truck. One local company that had been all Mack for years,switched to Western Star because of their '04's and another,that had just switched to Mack turned them all back in and went back to KW.

It sure looks  like beauty! An older gentleman in our chapter had a decent LJ he had run in the '60's. He passed,and the family  asked  me what  they should  ask for  it. I suggested  10 grand. I   think they  let it go for half of that. I   wish I would  have  bought  that one too,Unathleticdad.  Al  

is that the one from S.Beloit that used to come to Walcott?

Nelson Trucking of Mediapolis,IA had one of the 285 hp 865 V8's.

1968 R719ST1222

guy by the name of Pat Stump owned that LT.

Well, I got the answer to my own question. On the end of the governor closest to right fender, there are 2 small hex plugs and 1 big hex plug. First, drain air system. The small plugs have filters behind them - one closest to radiator filters system air pressure. One closest to firewall filters signal pressure to compressor unloader . Now the big hex plug covers a 1/4" nut that adjusts system pressure. Turn nut clockwise to increase cut-in and cut-out pressure. So, another old fragment of ancient history doing its job correctly again.

Speaking of old junk - I got most of bugs worked out of engine/transmission change in the old Mack and WHAT A BUNCH OF FUN TO DRIVE!! More horsepower IS good. I had put 38,000 miles on that unpowered hunk of junk in 15 years. It was getting to the point that I didn't want to drive it anymore. But with power steering and a bunch of horsepower, it might become my daily driver! Think might look into air conditioning for the ole beast.   

Power steering??AC?? are you getting soft in your old age,Tom??

What did you get?  I am going to need one for my 98 R with 12 speed.  

 

Where do you find that style?

Friend of mine has one for sale.

That truck sold at one of the ATHS convention auctions some years back,was purchased by Shroyer's in OH as I recall.
