Wow !! Awesome engine, and awesome truck! I'll bet it sounds awesome too!

Thanks, I'll try that next time

Good looking 1976 Mack F700 on Ebay, with a 300 Maxydyne over 6 days left on auction with a starting bid of 1000.00

I came across a running 1964 tandem B61 wrecker on Ebay, it is listed as 1964 Mack, it has over 6 days left on the auction, and a starting bid of 3200.00 For some reason I can't copy and paste the link in here, so you'll have to go to Ebay to look it up!

Thinking of changing the differential, just needs a little taller gear, I won't be hauling any thing heavier than a car, or pickup truck, once in a great while maybe two, would like to see a little fire out of the stack at night, I remember seeing that when I was a kid riding with my dad. Before I was born he had a "51" A-Car DC100, that he went through from the ground up, and built the engine also, it had a 200 Cumins, he painted it Apache red and Sheridan blue, with real gold leaf lettering and scroll work, had "Bimbo" painted across the front bumper, because my older sister, who was only two at the time, use to go around singing that song "Bimbo Bimbo, where ya gonna goeeeeo......Bimbo Bimbo going down the roadeooooo" Lol. He had the pump set, and injectors set to where he had a little convex mirror on the passenger side aimed at the stack, she would throw a one foot flame, and he could use that mirror as a tach, he would know to downshift when that flame got down to 2" ! Lol. He swore till the day he died that that old "200" Cummins would out pull the trucks he was driving at that time, he was driving till 2000, lost him in 2003. Well.....I'm rambling....Lol

What kind of truck do you have it on? Is it a big sleeper? I would be using it as my only source of A/C, but in a little B67, and a 36" sleeper, it should be fine I would think, I can close the sleeper off while I'm driving during the day

Thanks

Awwwwww Congrats !!

We called em' "West Coaster"s in Mass back then too Vision! Lol

Love those old A' Cars!

Yeah, may want to make sure you have a "fat" altenator! Lol

Well no, actually there are units now that run on 12 and 24 volt systems, that's what this whole post was started about.

Thanks, yeah, I'm use to running hot engines, that's all I ever had, lol! But I never played with an old Mack. Is there anything to do to the injectors to get a little more out of it?

Well, you could put it on the roof of the sleeper, just make sure it's big enough to cool the whole truck! Shouldn't take much.

Looking for a little info on turning the pump up a little on my "58" Mack, it has the END673 in it, I just want to turn it up a little to get a little more power, but not enough that it will melt a piston, or wash down the cylinders, does anyone know how to go about doing this? I have been a mechanic all my life, but have never worked on one of these, I've only had it for about two weeks, and can it be turned up higher than 2100 RPM ,or is that the highest it will safely turn? It will be used for my own personal use, and will occasionally haul a car, either on the bed, it has an 18-20' tilt bed, or on a 20' car trailer that I have. Thanks Keith

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, wish I had the money for it right now.

Yeah, I just got the truck, so I'll be pulling the starter ! Lol

Yeah, it sure would!

I just came across this on CL, looks pretty interesting, the guy selling it must not know too much about trucks though, he is stating that it has the "original mack engine" when you can see clearly in the pic that it has a Cummins, looks like a 13 speed in it now with the auxiliary box still behind it! Pretty cool old Bulldog! Unfortunately, I can't paste in the text box, nothing happens when I try, but it is in Oklahoma City Craigslist under cars and trucks by owner under "1963 Mack B73 semi with sleeper and rolloff antique vintage" Pretty straight looking old Mack! 6500.00 asking

Vehiclima is another good one For some reason, you can't copy and paste into this text box

That's why I'm looking at the self contained unit, where you don't have to mount a compressor, drier and condenser, it's all in the unit, my B67T has that doghouse right there under the dash, so no under dash unit fitting, and I can't put one on the floor between the seats on the floor, because of the sleeper.

Go to Alibaba.com, and look at the TKT-30ES for one

Here's another one DCpowersales.com

Yeah, looks like skinny 318 Yamaha stacks!!

Hi, hoping I can get a little info, I have a "58" Mack B67-T ( I just got it a week ago) and sometimes when it is shut off, it will only click when you try and start it, but if you get under the truck, and turn the flywheel an inch or so, it will fire up, I assume the Bendix drive is hanging up? Is there an easy fix for this, or is it new starter time?

Thanks

Keith

Beautiful !

Yeah, was a little concerned about that, but I figured the truck by itself and just one car wouldn't have a problem, with 505 - 527 lbs of torque, my next question was going to be, how do you turn the pump up to get a little more power without going overboard and melting the pistons, or washing down the cylinders ? I remember back when I was young there were guys with these old B models running like mad with the pumps turned up on them, I had a fast "80" Pete, I was running late to get loaded, and was running about 90, I saw a sparkle in my side view mirror, looked and I could make out the unmistakable grille and headlights of an old B Model, he was coming down off a grade on 27 coming into Clermont in Florida, and he was gaining! Lol. I put my foot down into the pump hard in my 400 Cummins, and it was turned up A LOT !, and pushed it up to 97, that's all she had, we started pulling up a slight grade, I figured, "he'll drop off now" ...............NOPE !! He kept gaining, by now I could see it was a beautiful old B61, Not even a B73, or 75! All I could keep saying to myself was "WHAT THE F@CK??!!" Lol !! When he finally got up alongside of me, there was an older man, looked to be in his early 70's, and that Mack was a beautiful red, chrome grille, chrome bumper, twin chrome 6" straights, Full chrome rear fenders, and lots of other chrome, and it was barking louder than my 400, which had straights also, and man it sounded SWEET! All I could figure was it must have had a 300 stuffed in it, but couldn't figure out how the hell he would cool it if it did! He was pulling a dump trailer, and it was a SINGLE AXLE tractor !! He just smiled at me, shook a finger pointing straight ahead of him, and motored on by! I won't forget that till the day I die! Lol ! I also remember my dad telling me in the old macks, I guess the LF's and LJ's, that they would tie a wire on the rack on the pump? He said when they were pulling a long, or real steep hill, they would pull on that wire, which would open the rack, but he said you had to be careful or you could blow the engine if you held;d it too long, or too far open. Maybe that was the Lanova engine? But, I figure if I can turn that pump up just a little, it would help, plus I'd like to see the fire come out of the stack at night! Lol "stacks" eventually
