Can someone post a picture of how the front end on a b61 goes together.I’m trying to build my son a desk for his office using the grill,shutters,headlight panels and fenders.Picture from the parts book would be fine. Tks.

Thanks,Mackaholic

Have a question for the experts.When I towed the truck to the painter I pulled the right rear axle to keep the drive shaft from spinning,when I pulled the axle cap no oil came out.The bearing was packed in grease,as you can see in the picture.I pulled the plug on the rear to check Level of oil and oil came out,so the rear has plenty of oil.My question is shouldn’t the oil be running out to the bearings at the other end of axle?Or is the bearings fine being packed in grease.

I know it’s been awhile,but I have made some progress.The tire guy finally made it and got all the tires mounted and rims all painted.I will probably pull it out in the sunshine (hopefully ) tomorrow and take a picture of it.My next task will be to get the fuel tanks,bumper,air tanks,battery boxes all sandblasted and painted.Still waiting for the body guy to tell me to bring him the cab and fenders.

Keep up the good work,I’m doing my B87.Concerning the wires I believe the wiring diagram is on this site,if not let me know I have a blower up of it and I can send it to you.

Thank god for those hydraulic bead breakers.Would have never got those tires off the rims if not for the hydraulic bead breaker.Now I’m looking for some tires,I could use 2 steers like now.I can wait for the rear tires till the truck is finished,the steers are shot.Anyone out there got some or a outlet for them.Mine are tube types.

Tks, that’s what I throught just wanted to be sure.

I will be placing the transmissions back in my b87 and was wondering what oil I should put in them and the rears?

My next step will be to disassemble the rims from the tires.Then I will sandblast them and paint then reassemble.

Finally got it back from the paint shop.I think it looks great,now the fun starts.

I have 1200x24 tires with spoke wheels on my B87 tractor that I’m restoring,will be looking for new ones when I get it back on the road.My tires now are 30 + years old and been recapped at least once if not twice and are showing signs of dry rot.

Looking to put new rims on my old tires.I have 1200x24 tires on old steel wheels.What size do I need to get,I have spoked wheels.

Looking for 2 of these.

As many of you know I’m restoring my b87.Looking for the weight of the cab so I can build a body rostisserie,I’m thinking 1000 lbs.It will be striped down no doors,seats or anything.
