Need help

Could it be a Garrison assist system using a Ross piston? The control unit looks like the one I installed on my B73. I had both units rebuilt by a local hydraulic shop, made up the lines myself. -
You are correct regarding the tank. We have a few of these (tubs). They came from a local quarry contractor that built them in their slow times. The tanks are from retired railroad cars. The tub you see here must have been burned as it seems very brittle and has had to be welded back up. The others are better steel and are on on road trucks.

No conveyor. Just a heavy duty dump box. We have a few of these. (Tubs) is what we call them. They work nice for the heavy rock and concrete demo jobs. Also work good for tree work. Without a tailgate whatever you put in, it will come out.

I may look at work and see if there is something useable.

took everything apart. Just wasn’t sure what that was on the bottom if it was a nut or plug or what.

We have to- I mean we get to go to Connecticut next month, one of Zina's friends from way back has a son who's getting married. She said she would go by herself and I could stay home and dog sit but I said she shouldn't have to drive that far by herself. I'll throw the shovel in the back and help you clear that driveway.

Good evening, so I bought this beautiful R model off of hicrop10 last September. The truck was shipped to me and it was everything that he said it was. I’ve put some new parts on it, rear fenders, new roof lights and horns, new mirrors, new steps/toolbox, front bumper and grill guard, muffler and stack, rear plate for brake lights and backup lights, mudflaps, and a few more things to do. But the purpose of this post is to say that my dad drove truck, he LOVED Mack trucks. Tonight I was installing the grill guard, I finished and took a picture like we all do. After I took the picture I looked at it and realized that in the reflection, was a picture of my dad, nephew, and I, along with a Mack sign that is hanging on the side of the bathroom wall in the barn. It wasn’t planned, it just happened that way. My dad passed away in 2018. I know he was here tonight while I was working on the truck. Just a cool story I wanted to share. I’m sure many of you have similar stories, I’d love to hear them. Have a great night guys!

made another go at the driveway cleaning. actually the wife's car under a car port ; with the wind bad as it is , the car still had 6 + inches snow . I even cleaned the car off and cut a path in front of it. she's scheduled for work tomorrow ; and I don't want any reason why she can't go LOL

Can’t stress enough! Never seaze ! How ever if you’re like me you will not be worrying about removing them ever again! Your looking after the next guy!

I know it’s your call, but with the trouble you had getting injectors out, i sure would try to scare up a reamer🤷♀️. terryespecially since your doing a proper overhaul?
