ok the Tip turbine is the intercooler on the driver side right? the big Plenum that says Mack in block letters with a filter? thought those were only on the 300+ engines? maybe im confused

The filter looking item in the box is the air to air with a small turbo type fan forcing air through it to cool the turbocharged air to the intake manifold.

Used on 285 and 300+ and have been retrofitted to 350's as well in B model conversions when there is no place for other styles of air to airs.

My B75 is running a 285 hp tip turbine setup and it is a relatively straight forward change.

Jim

How about the rubber mounted center bearing on the driveshaft?

Jim

Does anyone know where the "glow in the dark" yellow B model dump truck of SantaBarbara from the New Haven area is?

Hi Larry,

I have casually looked at the steering column differences and never came to a complete conclusion.

On my B75 with L cab , it has a "bent" column. On a friend's B75 with a standard cab, he has a bent column.

On several B755 L cab with V8 engines that I have looked at, the column is straight. I haven't been able to check a V8 B755 with standard cab to see if it is also straight.

Soooo....I don't know. Did the steering box stays the same between the two styles of column? Did they have to rotate sightly the bolt holes in the frame to line the shaft up?

Probably something could be fabricated to suit your needs. Maybe try to make a template with cardboard or wire to see if the "bend" is going to gain enough to make it worth while for you.

I am not aware of any B753 with a concave cab, pretty sure all were straight back cabs. The B75 was the stretched out setup with longer hood and filler panels.

Jim

P.S.- When writing to MACK museum for history does one generally include a donations for the help or what do you guys do?

Yup, that is the deal. Send a check with your truck info and what you get back will be well worth it.

The info back from the museum may take a little time depending on how busy they are but it is still worth the wait.

Jim

Think it is the ENDT 675 Maxidyne, turbocharged 237hp.

We will see if my brain needs some WD-40.

Can you check the tag on the engine?

Might have been swapped sometime.

Uh oh.... sounds like your in Daryl Gushee territory.

Looking forward to observing your new adventure.

I saw the truck on CL and thought it looked good with nice specs. I have no use for the tank or pump so I would have to remove to make a tractor out of it with wet line.

Typical deal no extra money for another toy and no room to store.

Keep us posted.

Jim

I just asked the question with the picture of the Ford pumper and here is the answer! What a deal.

From the pics on CL, it looks pretty good!

Refusegetter , heres my little pump truck at a job this summer. Its a 1989 Ford L8000 . Just picked up a larger truck this weekend , a Mack Superliner .

Did you buy the white Superliner pumper out of Plymouth, MA from CL? It looked pretty good.

Well...it must have been a dream because I can't produce pics.

I go to the scale yesterday and figure to give and get a Merry Christmas. I pull in and am greeted by a guy.

He tells me that she only needed a couple more credits for graduation and she was gone at the end of the semester.

Make the truck look tougher with a set of Autralian Roo bars.

Welcome!

Both trucks look great. What are the specs?

Did you get the Superliner from Joseph Equipment?

There is a gravel operation near me that has a scale.

I try to go through after 2 pm on Tues. or Thurs. when the blonde college girl is working.

She is very easy on the eyes, 5'4" tall and probably 98 lbs soaking wet.

Go figure...

Makes life interesting and fun!

Yeah Paul,

That "little" Mack you want is going to need permits for everything!

Plus, it isn't going to fit in your stocking...

Doing a rough calculation (real rough) to maintain 65 mph with 22.5 would need to up the rpm about 100.

The tire size change would give a lower effective gear ratio which would help getting started.

If it was mine would probably leave it alone.

What rpm are you turning now at 65 mph loaded?

What style of wheels Daytons or Budds?

If you change to 22.5 from 24.5 you will have to change the hubs if you are running spokes.

Hope Moma is warming up to the new addition to the family.

Or are you still on the couch?

Hey!

Do you have permit for hauling scrap around?

DOT is everywhere.

Have fun and don't get stuck.

Lamborghini also made farm tractors.

Looks Fantastic!

I see that it has changed from spokes to aluminum wheels.

What else has been changed or modified from original? How many miles? What are the basic specs?

Thanks for sharing pictures .

Jim

The million Superliner went to Yarmouth Lumber in ME so it is close to Pelletiers.....too close.

I haven't been that way in a long time so I don't know what is going on but I have a feeling it is no longer around.

The piece I am refering to is the actually crossmember in the frame, that the engine would sit on not the piece on the engine itself.

That is the one I am talking about. It has a little clearance for the timing gear cover.

Look straight down at the crossmember that goes from side to side and it should look different.

I needed a crossmember for my B75 and took it out of a B61 so I think we are talking apples to apples.

The round collar at the balancer then bolts to this crossmember.

Jim

If this is the mount right at the balancer, there should be a notch to give some extra room for the timing gear cover on the front of the motor.

When looking straight down at the crossmember you will see it is slightly different side to side.

Jim

Interesting picture and details.

Most of the wrenches I have collected are Billings or Williams with the "Mack" on them in script. The hammers and pliers don't say anything than 'Mack".

Some of them are the "S" style wrench.

A couple of screwdrivers have wood handles and the Mack is on there with some sort of ink stamp in script.

I think most of mine are from the E model or early L, late 30's to 40's.
