In light and medium trucks, the Deutz are water-cooled. I had good experience with water-cooled Deutz in 863 Bobcats. My Liebherr A912 rubber-tired excavator did have an air-cooled Deutz and was absolutely trouble-free. -
That's a pretty good service, never got the power going in the snow before, but certainly have in torrential rain for customers Paul

Mack and John Deere injector pumps interchangeable?
FarnorthMN replied to BronsonA2150's topic in Engine and Transmission
@Vladislav Hit the nail on the head with this! well said. I have quite alot of experience with john pumps and pump timming. Most the John deere pumps are early bosch and rosa-master, but with that the John Deere used many different configuration within the pump houses. changes as far as pump piston bore, bore stroke, over/under fuel spec. injection timing, Rpm and just how the pump is driven eather off the cam shafts or crank gears. I think if you really wanted this done the best route would be have a fuel injection pump set by and good known fuel injection shop. -

Typical liberal Dem BS... they are garbage people intent on destroying the U.S.A.

Awesome. I made another one tonight. Glad you liked it. The temp and time is just a base, watching it and adjusting temp is key.. 🍻

That's exactly how it is in VA. with those 2 useless morons Warner and Kaine! Northern VA. runs the entire state, with backup from Richmond, Charlottesville, and the tidewater area. The working class "real people" in the rest of the state have no say in anything. That's the reason spamburger is the governor now.

B-42 started following What cha' Cookin' ?

Joey, we made your pizza recipe today. Wasn't real sure it would hold together when we dumped it out onto the cookie sheet but after 35 minutes or so it looked like the picture you posted. We let it rest for 15 minutes and topped it with cheese, mushrooms, sausage, onions, and pepperoni. Bake for another 15 minutes and was really pleased with how it turned out. We will definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing!

Hope everything goes well. We'll be waiting to hear from ya.

Get well soon. I'll be praying for you.

This site needs another emoji for the things that just piss me off! This liberal clown Ossoff and his liberal co-Senator Warnock probably got voted in the same way that Biden won Georgia. Neither one of them is worth a crap! Neither one represents the Citizen's of Georgia, they represent the liberals who live in the high population areas of the State. I thank God each and every day that "Stacy the Hut" didn't become Governor here!

Yep. Here in central N.C. i did get behind a few drivers doing almost 10 MPH. on tire wiped roads. My wife who is from here told me to shut up, they were just being safe.... I guess I am supposed to supress my winter driving skills because I AM a Yankee... 🤔anyway,, no one was hurt in the making of this post...

Getting back to the original question, will it fit? Yes and no. If it is the larger 72 series bell housing on both than yes as they are the same standard SAE size. BUT, there are two different bell housings and there is one for a single and one for a double disc clutch arrangement. A double disc arrangement was fairly common on the Quadraplex as it was the heaviest transmission offered. It also had a rear crossmember to support the weight of the transmission. An easy telltale between the two is the bolt arrangement around the bell housing, there's a 1" difference in thickness in the bolt bosses and length of the bolts. This also pushes the entire transmission back 1" to allow for this clutch. This leads to another issue in mounting the transmission to the frame mounts. You'll need offset mounts on the transmission to match up the mounts on the frame or you can re-drill the frame to move everything back. There could be another issue if the transmission in the B85 is the smaller 67 series, but that doesn't sound like what you have currently installed. My suggestion as you get into this, is dig into what you have and get all the archive info you can from the Museum that you can. Next, get all the info you can directly of both gear boxes you have. What's in the truck may not be what was installed at the factory. There's a stamped pad on the left side of the main box of the transmission, aft of the cast Mack emblem that has "Made with Tetrapoid Gears"(or something close). Clean that off and get all the numbers off it. Also, don't go just by the shift plate installed in the cab as to what is installed. The duplex would start with something like TRD-72 or TRD-720, the Quadraplex will be TRQ-72 or TRQ-720. That extra zero means it's an over gear(overdrive) transmission, 9 vs 10 speed. In the case of the Quadraplex, double overdrive, 18 vs 20 speed. There are other versions of both transmissions, like adding an X to the TRD, which makes it a TRDX deep reduction transmission or an L, which means it's a lightweight version with aluminum boxes. There's a lot of little things that without asking questions and educating yourself can cause a lot of headaches and wasted time trying to fit things together that won't go or mount up. Is this really difficult, no, it's actually pretty simple. Once you know what you have and what your looking at. Picking the right components and making them work together is fairly straight forward. Asking questions here can be very helpful as many of us have been messing around with these trucks for a long time. Post some pictures of what you have and ask away. It'll save you a lot of time and aggravation.

thanks guys. i spent 4 days in hospital this week already for tests after they found the mass. went i8 8 am monday for urinary bleeding, and they found a severe urinary tract infection. sent me for an abdominal cat scan, and found the mass. docs asked how long it was there, and i told them dont know, never had any scans/xrays of chest or abdomen ever done. but they found it, and i told the doc 12 noon monday it aint supposed to be there, take it out!! he agreed, but it took another 3 days of tests and scans to make a game plan for how surgery would go down.
