Me and Mike Jackson took a couple of long loads from Hirschfield Steel in Lynchburg down to Hirschfield Steel in San Angelo, Texas one time. After we got unloaded we went to a motel because we were going to load a load there the next day going to West Virginia. We went down to the lounge to have beer and it seemed like everybody in there was walking around drinking beer out of a punch bowl. I thought "man, I like beer, but these people must REALLY like beer", those were some serious beer drinkers at that place.

Taking a look at the crossover to IH trucks, the pictures shown will not fit. The IH models have a push button handle and the Mack has a swing handle. The latches, although look similar, are different. They might fit an R Model Mack, but not a B Model. So….I am still in the market to buy latches for my B Model.

Thanks for the potential solution to my issue. Luckily, we have Southland International here and George has a vast array of antique Internationals. I will be heading there tomorrow with this new information. As for Watts, I gave them the description and the serial number of my truck and was told they didn’t have any. I did not have those part numbers. If the International Dealer isn’t able to help, I will reach out to Watts again. Thanks for all the great information!! This is my 61 Mack

I just punched it in Google search lots popped up but they might not be as cheap as you thought… good luck

I would try Raneys truck parts good luck

By very simple reason my "bet" the engine is E6-350 Econodyne. I have one in a 1988 R-model with similar injection pump. The "bet" is due to the 9-speed transmission used. Mine has the same. You don't need 9 speeds behind a Maxidine since its torque curve works well with just 5 speeds. I have another R-model also 1988 made which has T2070 7-speed transmission. Its ratios are similar to T2050 5-speed but have two "low holes". There's a similary rated T2060 6-speed and T2080 8-speed. All trio has first 5 gears spread much wider than "multispeeds" T2090, T2100, T2110, T2130 and T2118. Wider gear steps are aimed to serve with Maxidyne low torque curve engines. Ok, that my other R-model has its engine stamped as EM6-300L. Almost as Keith described regarding his DM. It's a bit easier to identify R or DM since E6-350 would be R/DM688 model and EM6-300 would be R/DM-690. That's what I have on the door tags. RW's are all 613 or 713 with Mack engines so no clue up.

My Cruiseliner has an 18k front axle and 3 leaf spring/spacer arrangement.You could add more leafs but it woud make the ride very harsh.. Paul

I guess it fixed itself. it seems to be working now haha

Looking for a MH passenger door air operated window regulator. 724 840 9135

Me too.Great food and cold beer go together like a Mack and a trailer....or2!!! Paul

Water, unless it has antifreeze mixed in is not from a mechanical defect in the compressor. Oil can pass and get excessive on a well worn compressor, BUT it can also come from too much on time. Look at it this way: your system cycles 23 times more than mine, meaning that 23 time more air, condensate and oil are put into the system then mine does. even my worse truck passes 10 times less than yours is. On mine, the small amount of oil gets separated at the labyrinth passages in the AD-4 base, the moisture gets stripped in the drier bed, both get expelled when the drier purges. Even with an air starter, air wipers, air ride, I never saw any moisture in the wet tank, the air use was such that the air drier could do its job. With yours passing so much air, you are likely going to need to service the air drier when your problem is solved, but no point doing so until the air leaks are addressed. I had a problem with the AD-9's where the drier cartridge would back out of the base and just be rattling around inside the dome. They used a single threaded bolt on the bottom of the cartridge into the aluminum base, heat and vibration would cause them to loosen. enough time on them, the thread in the base would wear and not stay tight. AD-4's have some draw backs but that isn't among them, I switched to them. Spin on filter air driers don't have there internal purge air and must take it from somewhere.

water and oil is more a sign of excessive "on time". Knocking, like piston slap or con rod bearing is a sign of a worn out compressor that is on its way out. You can read what Bendix say in the attached .pdf TF 501.pdf

Well, he did say he ohm'd out the sensor, that implies electronic of some sort.

I understand what you’re saying and appreciate the help. I drain tanks daily and I am getting a decent amount of oil and water out of the wet tank. Is that from compressor cycling to much? Is there a concern about how much water and oil it putting out daily to worry about mechanical failure of compressor? What I’m saying it’s going to take some to pin point leaks in the mean time im worried about losing compressor

Excellent yes I think the four door is a fabulous idea and yes, of course I was only joking. Reach out. There’s gonna be somebody out there with them as I mentioned. I could’ve helped you out a couple of years ago. I’m thinking you may have to have some beat up ones rechromed at least you’re in a better area than I am for used B Mack parts good luck.bob

My 1994 RD has a mechanically governed E7. No ECM. It has a cable operated tachometer.

Yeah, forget the glass. I’ll drink it out of the pitcher

Yeah!

Connections here are way better then what I get from the company, B-85 emblems are a little rare, but we will get a set someday. This weekend we are driving up with a landscape trailer to meet Kevin and looks like we will be coming home with a B-85 open cab, no front end, in nice shape, moving along towards a four door open cab Mack Fire Tractor that the grandkids can ride along in parades in! Might shake Mack Truck down for a duplicate "Jack" badge that is on the tailgate of the 2017 Mack Granite four door pickup truck they built, putting Jack on the back of our four door truck seems like the right thing to do for my Greatgrandfather.,,,,,,,Jack

There’s always time for more beer ha ha

You know I was thinking more like those electronic strips they’re using I guess for mostly plastic dashboards… sometimes you could just press hard on the area with your finger and everything will come back. I don’t think this is the case this time. I’m sure he’s just got a small problem there.

The kit came in it seemed a little off they checked some of gears were different so I just had them order the gear that was bad put it back together so far it’s good haven’t put a load on it I believe the nut on the yoke wasn’t as tight as the book called for also it was tight but not 500 ibs thanks for the help

Im on my way......🍺🍺🍺 Could do with another round of them..Nothing like that over here. Paul
