Vladislav Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 As said above for any relation to rust. Looks cool. Tough as a small bulldog What is the source of blue smoke on the 2nd and 3rd pictures?

If you blow smoke like that and the motor is i good order I reckon you will find the motor is glazing up due to not been worked Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeH Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I have two old 237 horses, used as yard trucks once in a blue moon. They both smoke. Never get worked hard. Injectors good be lazy and worn out, sleeves could be worn out or need to be re-honed, valve stem seals could be dry rotted and leaking oil... (I forget if these engines even use valve stem seals) If I re-honed them I'd have to do the brake in procedure which isn't possible on these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 66dc75 Posted May 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2019 It was only smoking because I had just started it cold. 5 minutes down the road no smoking. Its a 673 250 horse built just before the 237 came out. Besides, it's an old Mack it's supposed to smoke 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal preference is the later series but the earlier ones look nice and very nostalgic. Got about the smoke went away after some driving, thanks.

j hancock Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Wait a second! It's been to the New England show a couple years ago and Macungie last year. OK. So, it went to its first show THIS year. I see Herbie, Victor, DC and Red Horse taking pictures. That is a fine looking patch of grass. Where were you boys hanging out? Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
