The Antique Truck Club of America National Meet is in Macungie on Father’s Day Weekend. It is an all make show but Mack’s do represent. Mack Days is in Lititz PA the first Saturday in October. It is also an all makes show and is out on by the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the ATCA. Both are great shows.

Its likely a spicer, it can be just a common shaft assembly. Output and input shafts are the key. Then the distance. Use some calipers to measure shaft diameters, and bring that too. Splined or keyed shafts is no biggie. They will likely look at it and say, yep... I got this.. and they will balance the shaft as well..

I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll ask the local drive shaft shop.

I have my eye on a 2001 Vision with a 460 and 13 speed Eaton. Under 440k original miles, and appears to be in immaculate condition. More like the life of a show truck than work horse. Do these have a solid reputation for reliability? I know the E7 Etech isn’t a fan favorite, but it must be better than the modern emissions trucks. What should I be looking for specific to a Mack? I’d be using it to do regional flatbed work, rarely over 80k lbs in the Rockies. My second current option is get a 2016-2018 Pinnacle with an MP8 and keep a set of injector cups in the glove box. Also open to suggestions to other trucks so long as they have a full size sleeper and aren’t priced like a Peterbilt.

There should be a number on the yoke. Measure the distance to the pump yoke or shaft. Bring those and a some pictures to the drive shaft shop. They can build a drive shaft and provide the u-joints, and hand you a completed PTO shaft with the slip yoke.

Im doing a rear mount setup currently on my 6 speed. I have the rear mount pto its self but looking for leads and info on drive shaft from pto to pump

Lots of money, and probably won't sell for that, but there are some parts someone might want. Be a shame if it was cut up or left to rot.

Ohhhhh that's chuck and Danny DeVito. chuck musta visited the set of Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Just joined from Montana. Been driving trucks since 2008, and looking to return to being an OO. I usually brushed off Mack’s as I was a big KW fan. After my experience with a W900 with a Cat motor I really don’t want to go down that road again. The Mack brand piqued my interest after doing some research into the old E7s and modern MP8s, and I’d like to purchase a bulldog. Anyway, thanks for letting me join.

Ren & Stimpy ?

also paul 80,000 max gross long box or doubles,,,106,000 with triples or rocky mountain set,,,which is long box and a pup behind

I don’t know Larry it had bud wheels and I don’t remember what size they were. It was too many years ago.

Around here we’re only allowed 12 five on the stairs and 34,000 on tandems 20,000 on a single axle and except on spread axles they are allowed 20 each

A lot of times I had 26 to 28 at the front box since I had a twin drive

my mack superliner is a superliner 1 and it has superliner 2 interior and it is not a 1985

Out here, I think the heat does more damage to anything in the summertime

You know Larry for some reason when the sun‘s not shining I don’t feel like leaving the house and no I am running out of excuses way back when I was working on a truck tire shop at 17 years old a guy used to come in there and he told me that one time One way you were sitting in a lousy day just like I just said it when the sun‘s not shining young fella I don’t feel like doing anything one thing about retirement. I can always work on it tomorrow. But thanks for your foot in my ass I appreciate that. If nothing else, a huge guilty conscience you hear me ha ha

You are retired AND the truck is in a garage. What's the hold up..... 😆

How much more weight was typically put in the front trailer? 20k/18k or 24k/14k for 38k total. That was a good looking U. Tall rubber also. Was that usual?
