My book shows 15 qt. The service manual shows a capacity of 26 qt. with a 500C luberfiner. I buy oil in 2.5 gal. containers and often start with one abut 1/2 full then add until the dip stick shows full. So I never really know.

Enjoyed the pictures. The dozer looks like it has been restored. wonder what it weighs.

Job41 the motor is a 673 I think. It is in a barn with poor lighting . I forgot to bring a flashlight. The trans is a 18 speed quad. A turbo has been added. I was impressed with how straight the bumper was and the visor. I spent the afternoon with the owner and his wife retired school teachers. We graduated from the same university the same year. I believe anything he would tell you about the truck would be correct as he seemed to be a straight up person. I have no interest in the truck and only passing this information on in hopes this hobby will grow and not die out like the antique tractors have.

Radiator Core
eddeere replied to hicrop10's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I have bought a few similar cores from Steiner Tractor and have been satisfied. May be a long shot but if you called them the may tell you where they get theirs. -
It is rough for that price. Had has been for sale in a local farm publication for close to a year now. I think 4 or 5 grand might get it.

I had to rent a large gear puller and 3/4" impact to the get the balancer off my 673. It was a struggle all the way to the end. After I cleaned up the shaft I had to buy a longer grade 8 bolt just to get started back on. Harder than any other small truck , tractor, backhoe, or car I have ever worked on.

RD question
eddeere replied to Superdog's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I know basically what the R and U models are. What are the RL,RS RD, DM, and BCR models ? -
1964 B75LT SN 2168. I looked at this truck a few months ago e mailed the Mack Museum on some of the original specs. I never got a reply. At this time I do not need a new project. Thought some one else would be interested. Truck is located in Versailles, OH. Owners # 937 526 3260 asking $7500.

Looking for a starter P/N
eddeere replied to HeavyGunner's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
Clockwise I think. Look at your fan blades to see which way your engine turns and figure it from there. -
There was a man who had a welding shop here. He would do like 41 chevy said. He would only weld about 1/2" at time let it cool then peen it a lot. A far as I know his work held up.

Just a thought try the sending unit or plum in a good gauge and get a reading.

Looking for a starter P/N
eddeere replied to HeavyGunner's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
Not sure what the Delco switch is. Is this the series parallel switch/solenoid ? If your starter is good Watt's has them for $150. My starter was bad so I just went to a 12 volt starter. -
Looking for a starter P/N

A 42MT or 39MT starter should work. Be sure it is a 11 tooth. I used a 42 MT it fit but was close to every thing and had to bend the vent pipe slightly. A 39 might have worked better. The starter shop where I got mine had both. They said the 39 was a gear reduction and had more torque and the 42 would spin faster. With a used engine I did not think torque was an issue. They also gave me a solenoid to mount on the firewall to be sure there was ample voltage to the starter solenoid. There was a post on this dated 14 Nov 2014 which has a lot of good information. The electrical part is straight forward. Just by pass the series parallel stuff in short. -
Thanks. I started with carlotpilot's idea. When I got the old ones apart the springs were broken. The new ones were too short. With the link from thomastractorvc I orded 2 Haldex SC 12 chambers. They will come from California and are temporary out of stock. If any one needs a type 12 as pictured let me know. Priced very reasonable.
-
Bought 2 new T 12 chambers today. The left side chamber hits the arm out of the steering knuckle. Anyone know of the part # of one that will fit, or a safe fix.

Retired in "The Mining City"
eddeere replied to B MACK's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Great pictures. What type of mining is going on in the background? -
Not sure what I am looking at. What is leaking fuel, oil, or antifreeze ?

Now I know why my sons go skiing all the time

I miss the insight and wealth of information he brought to this site.

Great looking job.

Thanks for all the good advise. I wanted to use copper as it was original. The discharge line off the compressor is 3/4" A/C tubing which is thin and I suspect the weak link in the system. I saw some trucks at York last summer with what appears to be new copper tubing. I will have to rethink this.

I also liked the article on W.J. Roberts. A couple of years ago I was looking for an air tank for my B he called and said he had what I wanted. He would not put a price on it but said just call when you get it. I told him that I would send $100.00 for shipping and part of the price. He again said to call when you get it and we will talk. After it arrived I called we talked but he would not accept any money. Not many people like that today.
-
Mid August may be a good time for me. How about some antique tractors also.
-
Replacing the air lines on my B61. Are they regular copper tubing 5/8' OD X 1/2 ID. Why the splice and extension ? Wheelbase Change ? Any other options hard copper ?
