  1. I orderd an axle mounted Ross steering gear for an RWS, a p.s. pump and reservoir and other misc. items from Phil last week. Phil is very knowledgable, pleasant,and a true pleasure to deal with. Shipping was fast and cheap. I strongly recommend checking here for your Mack stuff first.

  2. Rob,in the mid to late 80's we had about 15 RWs and a couple MHs with the Neway ARD suspension. As Mike has said they are very durable,but are heavy and expensive to rubush.Check the bushings on the ends of the transverse beams, if these wear too much it ruins the stud that holds it together.Usually the first thing to go but if you catch it early no big deal,It"s probably an ARD 380 if it has 34 or 38 K rears that was most common.

  3. Vision, you should come work with us.We have an O/O with a 1974 Pete 359, one with a 1984 Pete 359, I'll soon be sighning on my 1984 RWS. It's a family owned company that started 31 years ago . They have about 50 trucks of their own and truly understand what junk the newer stuff is. They have alot of loads going to Virginia and the Carolinas. PM me and I can give you phone numbers . Steve

  4. Rob, I noticed in the background I see a RL or RS. THe paint color/scheem match the tractor in the Jul/Aug 1973 Owner/Operator Magazine. This is aRL797LST. with a ENDT(B) 866, a TRDL 107 and a SWS57 C tandem.This has a 206" wheelbase and a Mercury sleeper. Hope I haven't embarressed myself by being the last one to notice this. Steve

  5. I was going east on I -90 just west of Erie,PA about noon today and met a Brockway with a load of logs.Wasn't able to get my camera out fast enough for any pics. This was a late model(Mack cab) with a small sleeper.Not sure if it was a tandem or had a lift axle too. It was pained red and was pulling a pup. Looked nice from the other side of the interstate.I'm sure somebody knows the truck and can send pics. Steve

  6. Take some 3" or 4" channel iron and make a bracket that goes under the pan and up both sides (like a U only with square corners). Make the legs long enough so it clears the boottom of the pan. Just use a bottle jack centered under it to raise the engine. Place it as far rearward as you can. If you have any older Macks with the ESI Plus pan make the legs longer so it will work on them also. Hope you can follow me. Steve

  7. I just went and bought a 42" Alumibunk off an R model. This has dual exhaust cutouts with brackets in the cutouts to mount pipes.Was told it was a 36" Able ,but when I got there realized it was not. It is in nice shape, the paint is even decent, so I bought it hoping somebody may have an interest in it. If this tickles you drop me a PM on this site and we"ll talk about it. Won't have pictures til next weekend when I go get it. Thanks,Steve
