Wobblin-Goblin Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 http://www.jobbersinc.com/mack.htm They are claiming they have parts I need for my B61, but don't take credit cards and all sales are final with no returns for any reason. Is that typical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958 F.W.D. Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN. THEY ARE NOT CALLED "ROBBERS INC" FOR NOTHING. Used to be North American Engines before they were bought out by the current pirates. Turned a reputable decent family operation into what it is now. If you can find your parts elsewhere, do so.

yarnall Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 My mechanic bought 6 new pistons for EN540 in my Father's B66 from them. They cost $1000 but they were the only decent pistons we could find after a year of looking. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davehummell Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I needed an injection pump for my 673 and injectors. Screw them, for over 40 years i have dealt with truck parts company and they were one of the worse i tried to buy parts from. Kevin all came to my rescue i will buy from him again.

davehummell Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I have to add there is a well known piston ring supplier that advertises in some mags. I called to get rings and i was told yep i got what you need I will get right on it for you? I gave up after a month and 2 phone calls. Screw them i got what i needed from perfict seal out of las vegas . I told them what sizes i needed and i had them in 3 or 4 days and no surcharge for the small amount i needed.

Wobblin-Goblin Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) All I need is ONE sleeve for my 711. This guy at JobbersInc in Philly says he's got one Mack 711 engine "kit" left and he won't break it up. It has, and I quote: "pistons, sleeves in .012 oversized, outside diameter (not sure what that means), rod bearings, main bearings, thrust washers. Need to locate ringset yet. you could use yours." I asked about the rings, and he said, "I've got some in another warehouse and I'll throw those in." Wouldn't rings already be a part of a "kit" and not have to be "thrown in?" Also, I asked about head gaskets, and he said pretty much the same thing about finding a couple and throwing them in. If he's so adamant about not "breaking up the kit," why aren't rings and head gaskets already a part of it? He wants $3,950.00 for it all and my spidey senses are going off. What if I buy this stuff and have it shipped only to find some of it (like those rings and gaskets he will "throw in") isn't for a 711?

Hobert62 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 For a $4,000 deal it seems pretty fishy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Sounds more like an incomplete kit. If you need one sleeve, see what these guys might be able to do for you. http://powerbore.com/custom-cylinder-sleeves/ Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Popular Post Wobblin-Goblin Posted January 26, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2018 Well guys, I've had it with the 711. I've spent over a year looking for parts for it and that's it. I'm pulling the plug on it. I'm going to re-engine it with a 237. At least I'll be able to find f***ing parts for it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958 F.W.D. Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Robbers Inc claims to have a 140GZ Waukesha short block still wrapped in the original cosmoline paper.

mowerman Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Well good luck there a wobblin I would recommend that myself .you know how it is .from time to time somebody has a good used engine to unload. I was thinking of going through mine also just to have everything fresh but it doesn’t really need it so I guess I can forget it ha ha Ha Anymore if they’re not pleasant to deal with I would rather just move on bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
