other dog Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 half fenders are for the rear to cover front tandem.gg2The Pete I drive used to have nice looking stainless steel half fenders on it until I picked up a load of lumber at a sawmill in Ga. one time. Put the front strap just a tad too far forward and when I pulled out into the highway it caught the fender on the left side and crinkled it up. Had to pull into a store parking lot and take it off because it was rubbing the tires. They put a set of cheap quarter fenders on it when I got in, and Jeff said he was surprised the half fenders lasted as long as they did. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

vision386 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 When i was doing multiple truck tours for Clark,we had a guy who had full fenders on his W-900 KW,we were backing into the performing arts center in Nashville (very steep inside dock) and i said maybe you want me to spot your trailer,as i think you will mess up your fenders? his reply was "mind your business sonny,you drive your truck,i'll drive mine"! so,i says OK,and walk away...starts backing in,bottoms out on the hump,WHAM!!!! snapped both fenders in-two! he had'nt moved the tandems forward on the trailer either,so he tore the sand shoes off the landing gear as well! professional at work!........Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Pawel Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hello!That Brock is now a fine looking truck, it has a great potential! I have a question though (probably a lame one, but here it comes):What is that silver cylinder mounted forward of the driver's door? From what I've seen on the photos, they were very popular in the seventies, and then they disappeared completely. So what is it and why don't we see them anymore? Thanks in advance for the answer, have a nice dayPaweł Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for the answer, have a nice dayPawełPawel,what you are seeing is called a "luberfiner" it is a remote mounted oil-filtering device. It contains a replaceable filter cartridge,much like a modern "spin-on" filter commonly used today. And was used before spin-on filters were widely used by truck/engine manufacturers...hope this is of some help,Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

mowerman Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 cars,used to use them also,,,called them canester type filter,,before spin,ons.but they were under the hood...bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawel Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Mark, Bob - thanks for the answer. I heard the name "luberfiner" many times, but was unable to verify the meaning - internet doesn't say too much about it, but now I know more! Can it be some trucks had a luberfiner mounted under the hood? What could be the reason to put it outside? Thanks again, have a nice dayPaweł Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, have a nice dayPawełPawel,yes,Luberfiners were mounted under the hoods of some trucks where space allowed,some down lower on the frame,ahead of or behind the fuel tanks,i have even seen some mounted behind the cab on daycabs (sleeperless) and Cabover trucks as well. I am under the impression that the reason they were mounted outside,was ease of access for service,and for a good flow of oil, being higher than the engine...........Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

vision386 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Here are a few more reference photos,you can see the Luberfiner behind the cab on the 3000 White,and just barely visible behind the fuel tank on the "N" series Ford...............Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

fifth wheel Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The Luberfiner filters are of by-pass design and are used in addition to the primary filtering systems on most engines, as with Cummins. There are two models the taller the 750, and the shorter one the 500. The early Mack 673 diesels used the 500 series only, oil from the pan was fed directly to the engine and the filter, with the filtered oil returning to the pan. cold oil or restricted elements would allow it to by-pas and no filtering would take place. The luberfiners on cummins and other engines gave them a long life.FW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 that I mentioned also mounted the Lubifiner in the same area, sometime next to the Power steering reservior if equiped.
