Im pickin up what you put down.. That sucks. The last p.o.s. job i did was pulling a mack tranny out of a granite dump truck,outside on a small hill, using plywood on the dirt to roll the jack.  That job sucked..

Yup  plywood on a side hill done that too! Improvise! 🤔if you don’t do it it ain’t getting done!

I have changed some clutches out in the yard with a sheet of plywood it adds to the job when the jack doesn't roll worth a darn

I'm going to drop the radiator off and look to have it recored.  It doesn't leak, now, but with the added power/heat I want it to be good for awhile longer.

 

I reckon it's cheap insurance on a good motor 

I got the R model done, it was crazy expensive, I think all Australian Macks of that era came with the biggest radiator you could get

 

I can't remember the exact price, but it was over $5000 Australian 

Back then, with the exchange rate it was about $3600 US

You probably felt the earth tremor when my jaw hit the ground

But compared to the cost of a motor it is cheap
