  1. The firing marks are on the flywheel, take off the inspection and you will find them.  Otherwise place the timing lever in full retard, then just set #1 to fire on TDC (pull out the spark plug and notice the air rushing out.  You can use a flashlight to thru the hole to determine when the piston id TDC).  Then set the mag to fire about 30 degrees ahead of this position.  It's not critical either way, just set to where it starts easily.  Too far retarded and it will overheat, too far advanced it will try and kick back when you crank it.  It's pretty safe if it does kick back, it won't kill you like a Model T.

    I forgot I have two stainless covers off of a 2001 RD. They are pretty dull and faded but with a bunch of sanding, lapping, and polishing I'm guessing they could be brought back to being shiny again. I will donate one of them if you are interested but it looks like you are in Cali.....

    Thanks 67;  I don't want new looking covers as they wouldn't match my truck.  I would love to get the covers;  do you have an idea as to what it cost to ship to 94590?

  3. AB Mack.  Not sure of the year but has about 1930 AB six cylinder engine.  Engine excellent running, no bad noises, good oil pressure, starts easily.  Dump works well, fair to good tires.  Runs, drives, five speed Mack trans.  Good radiator.  Dump bed rusted thru in one place, otherwise good running truck.  Located Vallejo, Taxifornia.

  4. Thanks Mike, the fenders appear to be earlier so I thought the engine was a replacement, also has a five speed transmission so mu be a later replacement, really a nice engine though.

  5. AB Mack for sale in northern ca.  Not sure of year but appears 1920's with 6 cylinder engine, probably a replacement.  Engine runs beautifully, no knocks, bad sounds and zero exhaust.  Truck has Mack 5 speed transmission, chain drive, runs well, stops very good.  Old Mack has seen a lot of miles but still runs very well.  Dump bed pretty beat up and rusted out as seen in pictures but works very well.  Hydraulic dump.  $7500.

  6. Thank you.  I looked at the CEAT website but didn't find these tires.  I tired calling but the number wont work.  Are you saying that the 1100 24 tire is available form this company?  I can buy used  Budd 24.5 rims for $15 a piece, maybe the easiest thing would be to convert to this size.  Where would one find a US dealer if the 1100s are available?

  7. Thanks, I went to Speciality tires but it did not show the 11.00-24ml listed.  I wanted to replace the old 1100x24 tires on this old lj wrecker.  Wouldn't be using it for anything just wanted it to look authentic and driveable.  I know the 24 in antique tires are available but they wouldn't look right and way to $.  If I changed the rims (Budd) what would be the tallest tire I could find (probably 24.5 rims)?
