  1. I don't think he understands the question.  I jacked up the axle and checked the thrust buttons on the bottom of the steering pins and they were .10 as described in the service books; didn't help at all.  Pretty hard to hook up power steering since no place to mount pump on engine.  I thought about machining the bottom of the axle pinions and installing a thrust bearing but that would take the weight off the buttons and place it on the axle.  I just can't imagine a new truck would be that hard to steer.  My '29 Ac has pneumatic tires and very low mileage.  I know solids would be much easier to turn.

  2. My spaghetti arms are getting to the point where I can hardly turn the old beast around.  Has anyone come up with a way to improve the steering on the AC Mack; power steering, lengthening the steering lever, shortening the steering gear lever?  Does the weight of the front of the truck bear on the brass button on the end of the steering pin or the machined surface of the front axle?

  3. Adding spring brakes to my old trailer.  Have service brakes only now, what components do I need?  Have relay valve on truck (B75 Mack) for truck spring brake:  do I need another relay valve on trailer, or what?  Simple diagram for a simple man, please.
