Advice On Startup
David replied to Delaneyland's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Install a valve or quick coupler on the inbound fuel line at the pump. When it starts you can shut it off without any damage if it decides to run wild. -
It's really haed to find good help.

Mack issued a service bulletin about this change many years ago. You can run a hose around the back side of the block and remove a plug from the intake manifold. So your getting air after it's passed through the aftercooler. Plug the hole on the ductwork so it doesn't suck in unfiltered air. You can also buy filter kit that bolts onto the compressor with replaceable filters.
-
When you have the compressor off check the colant lines. I've seen them get old, rusty, and plugged. No cooling will cause a new compressor to go bad in a hurry.

Picture Of Custom Built Horn Button On An R-model
David replied to r600's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
Check out Ebay item number 220277375230. The seller doesn't know if it's a horn button or a gas cap! -
It's been a while since I've taken one of these apart but, I believe the inside bolts on the passenger side are threaded into the axle with no nuts because there is no room for the nuts. The other 12 should have nuts on them.

My mistake. It has 22" (or 24.5") Daytons
-
There are fleets here in NC that at one time were 100% Mack and now are Pete and KW.
-
That looks like something you would see in Gerhart's yard. Wait a minute that looks like Gerhart's yard. I look forward to that show this year. Only six weeks away.

Niphilli, Do you work for Mack or Volvo?
-
Did the V in the top of the grill come before or after Volvo?

There were a couple of old and big logging trucks at the '04 ATHS Show in CA. They had on board tanks to spray water on the brakes for cooling.

I have a DM897 with 22.5. I'll trade you what ever is necessary for the swap.

You can see the Volvo building from I-40. Be interesting to see if they even put up a Mack sign.

We use a beam with sliding "pockets" on top that adjust to width of the cab. Pick from the door frame with the doors open and as close to the front as possible. This is how the cabs are set in place at the factory.
-
With the machine that far back it looks like they were unloading. The driver may have only set the tractor parking brake and at just the right point the weight shift on the trailer will make the drives real lite. Most of these west coast guys will tell you how easy the mechanical goosenecks are, but they rear load and unload as much as possible.
-
Check the frame width. Some trucks are 33" and some are 34".

Looks like a Marmon.

Search "why women live longer than men" and you can find the guy getting on top of the train car. Notice the rollers on the machine for riding on the car.

Someone please join this site and correct all the mistakes.

Pinnacle Axle Forward
David replied to james j neiweem's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
I talked to a long time Mack employee in Macungie this year. He said he retired because he was tired of the Volvo BS. I think we all are! -
That's how you turn a 237 into a 285.

Mh Ultraliner Questions....
David replied to ThaddeusW's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I've never seen four bags on a MH. Only the Fords built in the 80's. Of the six that I've owned, two had Cummins and four were Macks.
