Well of course lawmakers on both sides of the aisle condemned President Trump’s call to nationalize U.S. elections. It would result in the demise of the party system (much to my personal satisfaction). Political parties, which in effect silence the actual desires of the people, should be banned. The founding fathers never intended for our government to be, in effect, controlled by parties. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-call-nationalizing-elections-sparks-110000977.html

Be sure to check input shaft lengths and how it fits your bushing in the flywheel.. You may have to change the length of your drive shaft?? Then check U-joint angles..

Your egr cooler May be plugged up!

Flywheel housing sizes are standardized. If your flywheel housings are both the same size, the Quadruplex should bolt up where the 9 speed was. Here is a link to help explain the SAE sizes: Sae PDF | PDF | Technology & Engineering Keep in mind that the Quadruplex is longer, and may not clear the crossmember at the back of the cab.

Very interesting all the way through. The last segment at 1:05:00 is good. . . https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15524815/Chilling-theory-NASA-moon-Artemis-II-delay.html

about 1950 Bill had an idea to make a removerable gooseneck low loader to make life easier speaciily for transporting Steel drum rollers and blawknox & Barber Greene asphalt spreaders etc the only problem .... it 2 blokes a good hour to remover the gooseneck using screw jacks and load up it has been modified a few times and now we use the winch mounted behind the truck cab About 15 years ago we thought we should make a movie of the detach neck the only load we could find to load up was the ride on mower WotSezU? cya

Good usage of the rear seal installer. As far as quick rusting after the hot tank goes, wiping it down with a rag dampened with varsol on it will do the trick and it lasts a while if you need time.

So i own a 1956 b85 mack and there is a 1961 mack b61. My truck the b85 has a mack 9 speed and the b61 has a 20 speed quadruplex. both trucks have a I6 thermodyne. Dont know exact engine model waiting on answers from the mack museum would the 20 speed fit in to my b85 or will i need a different bell housing for the 20 speed

Don't forget the TRUST deal signed Jan 2025 - USA and India, maybe this was part of the plan! India has been buying about 35% of Russian oil production and China buys 47%.

Not a bad tongue, but a dangerous ... trap 😋

Help will be on the way soon for some of these parts. I received a 3D printer for Xmas and have been learning it and cad over the last month. (The last mechanical drawing I did was 60 years ago in engineering class using a drawing board, T square, triangles, and French curves). Looked up the knob you were searching for and drew up a quickie just approximating the size and shape and printed it off. Obviously, it needs to be refined but could be done with some extra cad work that I still have to learn. Also downloaded a file and printed a Mack Bulldog (opposite a gennie long eared dog). I did design and print a Model A Ford door lock knob and door handle mounting pad for my A V8 hot rod, so am moving into a whole new world of generating your own parts at home,

Klixon C Series Thermal Circuit Breaker, available from 5 to 40 Amps. I found mine online after doing a search. Prices do vary a bit for them. I forget where I sourced them, but they're readily available.

Well, $399 plus shipping got me the rear seal installer tool from Freedom Tool. Lickety split, the rear seal is installed. I installed the housing and then installed base, the "E6" spacer, and wrenched the wear ring and rear seal right down. Only problem was the wear ring wasn't down enough so I used the "E7" spacer and it took it down .025 deeper the flywheel pilot. Nice. Spent some time with wire wheel to clean surface rust out of pan(hot tank makes bare metal rust if you don't get something on it). It's ready, the gasket has been flattened out for the last few weeks, two tubes of RTV ready, bolts ready, blue lock tite ready. Likely not get back to it until next Tuesday. Have plans Thurs and all weekend so it has to wait. Too late to worry about getting it all up now. Still no luck on the injectors. I tipped the heads up some so the blaster will get all the way around the tube as it sits in that pocket. Tick, tock.

There's a good Volvo/Mack mechanic in Kenosha WI Patrick Fillman Brisk Truck Repair he's been a big help to me when I have codes on my MP engines

There wasn’t a whole lot of singing, just a little melody and a guy talking to the entire thing telling a cool story for those of you are not familiar. You might want to look it up. It is very cool.

Well, I used to listen to a whole lot of oldies for a lot of years. First I heard it was around 74 Boston channel WROR the golden great 98…. It turned to talk after a while….. but They focused on that very tune just a few years back I don’t remember what was up with that

Im sorry.. I have seen too many guys like you during my last stint at Mack..

Code keeps coming back I give up

Is that a "Knights Templar" insignia on the front of the box? .....Hippy
