Geoff Weeks Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Although I unloaded at -30F in Montana, the coldest I have worked was on US Steel coke battery in Gary, In. It was -20 or so, and the burning coal (coke) gets pushed in rail cars then quenched with water. One sec blasted with heat, the next steam turning to frost. The wind blows right off the lake. Set down a tool and it freezes to whatever you set it on. I made the repair and got out of there ASAP. Cloths got frozen,hard to move. The heat never lingered long enough to help, and the cold stuck around. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/9/#findComment-589250 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1961H67 Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago It did get warm enough to get the Superliner out and wash the dust off. Here’s a question my Grandson asked, we took it for a ride and when he closed the door from inside he asked what you pulled it closed with,,, the door handle? I said yes. He then asked why our 359 Pete has a pull handle and a Mack does not? Any suggestions on how to answer a curious 10 year old,lol . 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/9/#findComment-591090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
70mackMB Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Sorry can't come up with anything. Even tho l have owned both models. '83 & '84 359, '70 & '74 MB, and '77 R The MBs had a small piece of flat stock screwed to the top of the door panel. lt wasn't very big just enough to get your fingers behind it to close the door or help getting in or out. l think drivers removed them so you wouldn't hit your elbow while turning the steering wheel. Look at the far side and you can see it just over the shifter knob ....Hippy Edited 1 hour ago by 70mackMB Add picture Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/9/#findComment-591102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
