Freightrain Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Ok, I have an Eaton/Mack bellhousing for my 300+/18913 project. It is an alum version of A4348 (can't recall the actual pt number, A4915?) Using Eaton Inforanger I found the bushings 12815, but nothing on the shafts themselves? Is that a Mack part? I can't seem to find anything at all online using Google no matter what I type in.

Popular Post Geoff Weeks Posted 11 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 11 hours ago My experience is: the shaft is the vehicle mfg part as it has the location and orientation of the linkage arm dictated by it. Bushings and fork would be Eaton. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75981-eaton-bellhousing-cross-shaft-parts/#findComment-583280 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to find anything at all online using Google no matter what I type in. The right side should be the same on most anything Fuller. The left ? Most every Mack I've ever seen the lever was round on the inside and used a second adjusting collar (splined) for adjusting the clutch brake that was secured to the splined part with a 3/8s bolt and had a 1/2 inch adjusting bolt and jam nut. The lever likely came in different lengths as it worked in conjunction with the cable and the bracket the cable mounted to in the area of the bell housing. Other makes ? there were several variations of keyed slots or splines on the shaft and different levers depending on the geometry of the rest of their linkage so the travel was correct. Guess it would start with what you plan on using to actuate it first of all. (this part might be a little tircky) Sure it's been done plenty of times before. Shouldn't be too hard to use a VIN from a Mack if you were trying for somewhere to start as far as left shaft and lever . Or a VIN from whatever to get from a dealer of what you figure will work best for you. Like Geoff stated, others had different set ups to go along with their chassis. (still can get new stuff with a VIN though like from a Peterbilt or Western Star or whatever) 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75981-eaton-bellhousing-cross-shaft-parts/#findComment-583296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago Thanks guys. Kinda figured this is what it would be like. I may just make my own shafts, or at least cut/paste new pieces where they ride on bushing. Something to ponder. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
