Rob Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Does anyone have a couple photos of air cleaner on the left side of an R model cab, (R-700 series)? I'm going to run twin air filters on the V-12 truck but have never seen this setup before in person. I would like to have photos of the actual filter housing itself, the bracket retaining it to the truck, along with the cutout in the hood if possible. I have the two "Farr" box filter assemblies that came with the engine and could use them with some hand made "scoops", but want to investigate the usage of the later round style such as Donaldson. I realize I could do this "grafting" myself but want an OEM look if possible. The passenger side of the cab, (USA) has a recess and the other side does not that the mounting bracket bolts through.Thanks,Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

rw613 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 make sure you brace the cab on the inside of the truck were the filter brackets go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 make sure you brace the cab on the inside of the truck were the filter brackets goYes, I have fitted a plate to the inside area with a couple of captive nuts, (upper and lower) ready to weld together. Need to spread the hanging weight over the side of the area to prevent cracking from vibration.Excellent point to bring up.Thanks,Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Do you have any other information on that R-700 series tractor? It is very similar to my RL-755, and has a lot of the same "look" I'm after.Thanks,Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Bob Eckstein of Round Lake Beach,Illinois,took pride in his Mack trucks and showed them off."(Harry Patterson photo)Harry Patterson has pictures on Hank's,but none of that truck,found nothing on Bob Eckstein.

Lmackattack Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 ya he does mackattack i dont live far from you i see it all the timeThe truck im thinking of has a 36"sleeper dual stacks simmilar paint job etc... it hauls a dump trailer parks near the fox lake Trainstation? I never see the truck working? but would like to chat with him one of these daysRob I can get you a few pics of the bracket under the dash. My camera is down right now but One of the superliners in the yard has dual cleaners. I dont hink you can use the kick vent with the air cleaner installed and the intake tube goes thru a panel that attaches to the cab simmilar to the pass side.Trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what kind of differences there would be with a standard "R" series cab and an "RW" series where the hood meets the cowl area. I can get around anything of course. If you happen to run across the owner of the Superliner mentioned earlier try to get the chassis serial number of the posted RL if possible. There were only three RL-755LST tractors produced, (consecutive serial numbers) and that one is near a "spitting image" of mine. I know where the sister truck to mine was, but it had been scrapped several years ago. Mine was the second produced, and would like to locate the first.Thanks,Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
