39 Baby Mack

I'd just remove and replace them without the spacer, as Glenn mentioned above, that was done for oversize drums. The brake bolts should come apart and be able to be reused, the 7" shoes used on your truck have 3/8" bolts in them. Just tighten them up from the center out and use some common sense. Ron

I got the weatherstrip from Cal Little back in 2012. Pine Hill Restorations (717) 566-8973 Between John Chalmers, Neil Kauppila (fifth wheel), and him I'm sure they can get you what you need John Chalmers (717) 334-8709 Neil Kauppila (774) 353-6723

Happy Belated Birthday Randy! Ron

This is one of my favorite keepsakes from the past, Can you imagine how excited this eleven year old boy was!

Thanks everybody, It's a great honor to be featured on the cover! This all came about by the work of Mr. Jack Norbeck. He was at the Mack Museum and asked Don Schumaker about the chances of having Don's ED available for a photo shoot at Schlicher's Covered Bridge in Schnecksville, Pa. Don declined but mentioned my name and gave him my phone number. Mr. Norbeck contacted me and we made arrangements to meet at the bridge on the morning of Friday August 8, 2014. My daughter Katie and I met Mr. Norbeck on what turned out to be a beautiful day. We had a great time and took

They are electronic, but I don't see anyway that replacing an electronic throttle module would reset the odometer back to zero. Ron Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Just double checked myself, there were actually three "B" models that had four digit model numbers. Had nothing to do with what we were talking but I was surprised to see that there were any at all. Ron

You can have a lot fun with numbers, can't you Dan? Just was looking for photos of the 864s and came upon this thread on BMT. Would a B-755 with an ENDT864 carry a model number extending out to fourth digit being a 3 to denote a turbo charger. I've never seen model numbers carried out to the fourth digit. Or if they ever made a B75 with a turbocharged 864 would it be a B759. As in F715 versus F719? I always thought that an H-61 with a Cummins engine in it (the only H model available from the factory with a Cummins in it) should have logically been called an H-71 as was it's western cou

That's great! I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mr. Hansen in I think it was 1970. I was fifteen at the time and didn't quite know what to expect? It didn't take long for him to put you at ease. A very nice down to earth gentleman! I'm repeating myself but one thing I'll never forget his how he called my bluff. I was kidding him about all the bulldogs he was wearing, suit buttons, tie clasp, etc., etc. and with a smile and a poke in my side he showed me the zipper pull on his pants! Last time I ever talked to him was in the early eighties, we were having a problem with a truck that wa

I liked the one "Nothing Breaks Wind Like a Bulldog" A very true statement indeed! Her name was Maxine and she was a real sweetheart, but she could clear the room in a Minnesota minute! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
