Hobrert now you have me more confused . I can not find 10R24.5 tires My old 10R22 are about 10" at the bulge and about 8.25" tread . The 22" is the 24.5 tubeless. I think 11R 24.5 are going to touch on the rears.

Getting ready to put new rubber on the front of my B 61. Has 10R22 with rims with locking rings . I have 6 good 24.5 tubeless rims about 8.25 " wide . All I can find are 11R24.5 tires which should be good on the front. The rears are 10 22 bias ply with 1 3/4 " between the two . I think the 11R24.5 are going to be too close . What are my options ? Are wider spacers available ?

I have seen the foam used does a great job .

I used the liquid chrome kit from Eastwood . Worked ok but did not seem to have the gloss as this shows. Like J Hancock said get some and let us know .

B61 outside door handles
eddeere replied to Willpro's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
Going from memory, which is not great any more there should be a square shaft that attaches to the handle slides in from the out side . Two screws that hold the plate and handle on . The handle has to be down in the open position to get to one of the screws . This is if every thing is still in place inside the door . -
Really cleaned up nice . Great work .
-
Thanks . All it takes is time and money .

Thanks everyone . I used some stainless shims 1/4" Pried the core support up and slid them in .Still can not figure why the support would not go down level . Looks ok now .

Progress on the Cab
eddeere replied to h67st's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Your body guy does good work . -
One step forward two back . Got the fenders mounted without a scratch . Put the new bumper on noticed the right fender was 1/2 "lower than left. Closer examination the core support was about 3/16 lower where the new rubber bushings were installed . Do not know what to do, shim the bushings ? Would like to pull the core support but do not know how to support the fenders when I do .

Thanks for all the tips . Think I will put the inner and outer head light panel on first . Took the tires off for more room .

Had the fenders and head light panels ready to paint the first of June but had my knee replaced the the fifth of June . Standing for a length of time was a problem . Finished them last week . Any tips on installation ? What is best , put the headlight panels on first or install panel and fender as a unit ?

A terrible loss . Hope everything was insured .

You never know . I was going to Iowa with a truck and trailer when I had a radiator leak . Found a parts place in Morton IL. that also had a radiator shop . The shop would repair the radiator if I took it out . While getting it out a man pulled in with a truck with a bad power steering pump . He asked if I would remove it and install a new one that the parts place had . I told him that I did not work here but would do it when I got the radiator out . Got the new pump installed he offered to pay me. I refused and told him I was just killing time while waiting on my radiator. Then a women with a car pulled in and asked if I would would change the wires and plugs on he car . Told he sorry but my radiator was done and had to get going as it started to rain . The shop would not charge me for the work on the radiator . This was on Friday afternoon . Everyone in the parts place and man in the shop was starting to drink a beer getting a start on the week end . I went to a store close by and bought a 12 pack for everyone . Was on my way was about 4:30 that afternoon .

The lake is lower than normal for this time of year. They irrigate about 160,000 acres from it . The snow melt and water up north fill it.

Does the " not for hire " mean anything ? -
Thanks for the info on the tower . It had me confused . Nothing new for me .
-
I do not know the story on the tower , but it has been that way for some time . If that was my tractor I would move it before the tower got it .
