I realize that it would be a little bit to the extreme but if the one listed above is to thick would it be possible to tack weld it to a piece of round stock and chuck it into a lathe and turn it down and then remove the round stock and dress the welded area as needed

Thanks for the followup. I just bought a 1992 Mack RD688s and I am working on the interior lights.

Try reaching out to this group: https://harvesterhomecoming.com/contact-us for information on your truck. Fort Wayne was once called the truck capital of the world due to International Harvester. They have a big show each summer and there is a lot of info available from this group of former employees and collectors.

No I haven't I get a eup 4 code every now and then when its cold but goes away at operating temp but a month or so ago the engine was hanging in the rpms to the point it was hard to shift but was intermittent I sprayed some lube on the bottom of the pedal and it went away but it has always had the dead pedal issue it dont completely go away when it happens but its like you are holding at half throttle and some times it last longer than others some tims its back to back some days it may only happen once or twice

Do you have a photo of that White. I believe George Tackaberry has a Gerosa White flatbed.

Thanks PMC, talked to Kevin he might be able to help us, and was great to talk to, truck is just about gone , but we are going up to hang out and talk......Jack

I think you can... Besides,,, if you put the hub back on with new bearings and seal and do clean work, you wont ever need to do it again. Hell, trace it out on a peice of cereal box cardboard to make a template, and make one from some thin steel later on. You wont 'f' it up, and you will have an extra. Just sayin'....

I'm going to see how much I can salvage. I think there is enough to make it work.

Well its taken me along time to give an update. But here we go .Sorry for the wait 😀 I did lots of polishing , some painting and some fixing . Can you believe that it needed a lower rad hose and the International dealer could still look up the part number and FIND it . I couldn't believe it . I've had it to some shows and was able to find one of the previous owners . He had it in the 90's and had a fertilizer tender on it . Thats why it had a hydraulic tank and pump. I still don't know who bought it originally . So its still a mystery why it was spec'd the way it was . The trans works good and the transmission retarder works amazing. Thanks again to everyone that helped me figure it out . Other than keep history alive it doesn't really have a purpose. But I love starting it up and cruising around a bit in it . Takes me back to a very simple time.

Are you getting a throttle pedal code ? I think its 6-5. And yes, the TPS on the pedal can be the issue.

now why wouldn't it be impressive !!!!:: IT'S A MACK. LOL

Well, you and Mech responded.. 🍻

hey joey!!!!! so much for replys..lol.bob

i talked to a guy way back,that was driving a brand new magnum,,,,and he really liked it,,,,he was telling me the engine was way impressive,,bob

THANK YOU for all the effort being put in to parts for the "little Macks" some of us build .

early '80's Gerosa had quite a few heavy haulers at the new jersey truck races ;;not that one, somewhere I have some close up pictures of their fleet.

I found this interesting and immediately recognized those latches from R model internationals. Last winter my friend and I restored a 1955 R170, and another interesting thing was the outside push door handles were exactly the same as my R model Macks . So he bought 2 new ones from PAI and they bolted right on . No modifications were needed .

When you called Watt's Mack and asked for a 62QS33 door latch (right-hand) and a 34RC156 tumbler lock set, what did they say ?

your oil pan doesnt look any different than my 673 great deal on the new parts woohoo
