Smoothy Posted Tuesday at 05:19 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 05:19 AM Yes, the black tandem dump is a Chevy. I think its a C90, which is, according to my quick google search, the same thing as a GMC 9500. There's also a 9500 GMC Short Hood at the farm that's a tandem tractor. The black one has a 3208 and twin sticks, the tractor is an 8v-71 13 speed. The old GMs are neat in their own way. I wouldn't mind having a few more runners around. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63244-young-guy-old-mack-b61-dump-truck/page/5/#findComment-577244 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chevy is a 68 C70. Anyhow, I spent a day working on the R model yesterday. I thought I had tracked down an engine oil seep coming from the oil fill. After removing and replacing the gasket I think it might be coming from one of the plates on the side of the block behind the injection pump. Looks like a challenge. I also need to figure out what the clutch adjustment procedure is to determine whether I have a worn clutch or poor adjustment. Its not slipping, just engaging pretty high up towards the top of pedal travel. The cable/linkage setup is unlike any I've ever fooled with, aka never a big truck.
