mowerman Posted Sunday at 04:23 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 04:23 PM Well, according to my phone call, the guy said it was no longer available that doesn’t mean they’re not producing them Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/93/#findComment-584735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted Sunday at 04:45 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 04:45 PM These days if anything they stock is not selling they send them back I think I already stated that.. I was going to order an actual Mack spring from Amazon but they didn’t list any measurements at all on it … the one I picked was same length and looked a lot like the Mack spring 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/93/#findComment-584736 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted Sunday at 04:48 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 04:48 PM I can probably finish the rest of preparation this week but the spring won’t be here until nov 3rd .. so I can’t completely assemble till it gets here 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/93/#findComment-584737 Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Oh yeah knock it out, and go with a stemco or other newer inside seal , then lightly pack some grease on both bearings to lube them till the beating cavity fills with gear oil, before i put outside bearing in, i would have some gear oil in a plastic squeeze bottle and squirt it in cavity and put outside bearing in. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/93/#findComment-584804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
