Check the air supply filter. If it is plugged up, it will create a vacuum in the compressor which would draw oil up around the rings.

Here is a Mack big brother still in service.

My wife and I went thru the museum on our way to Yakima. An excellent facility with about 60 (+/-) trucks. Well worth the time spent.. Hopefully in the next couple of years we will make it back up to the Jamboree with my DT 201.

The Ford Factory came out with the T-800 tandem drive in 1954. Before that all Ford 10 wheelers were an aftermarket Tag/pusher axle either installed by a dealer or conversion shop, although I believe you could order the longer frame from Ford to mount it on? From the late 20's on there were several companys who made aftermarket tandem drive conversions. Mr. Don Chew of Littleton Colo is the expert on them. He writes articles about them in Shirley Spoonholtz's magazine Old Time Trucks. If you have a serious inquery PM/Email me and I will send you his snail mail addy as he does not have a computer.

Interesting engineering to get it put together, BUT that is about all I can say about it. Brocky

Here are 2 late 70's Brockways still in service. Granted they are smaller towns/villages so are not called out that often.

Also the oppisite of what Hat City said. If the trailer is TOO HIGH you will have to crank it down till it touches the fifth wheel.. If not the trailer pin will slide all the way over and past the fifth wheel, and if you go too far the glad hands will be in the back of the cab. Then you have fun getting it back over ther 5th wheel. Brocky

A model parts source?
Brocky replied to vwjunkie's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Another source for rubber products is www.diamondtrubber.com Mr Gib Epling Caldwell Ohio 43724 740-732-6056 They started as Diamond T and have expanded to Federal, Mack, and some others. If you have the old part they can make you a new one for almost everything. Brocky -
JT Congratulation on your find and purchase. Looks like truck you can enjoy without a lot of time and money up front.. Brocky

Larry You just learned what we discussed on another topic a while ago. NEVER TRUST A GPS!!!! or for that matter Mapquest or other computer generated mapping systems. Remeber that the Geeks who put the information into the computer probably have never driven a car, let alone a big truck, off the interstate and their local city streets. Go to Wally World and pay $6 for a Raqnd McNally road atlas then double check your computer generated routing against what it looks like on the map, and then look at alternatives. After the interesting "scenic tour" I hope that you had a good racing weekend. Brocky

Which cylindar are you asking about?? All the above answers are for the added on horizontal one. If you are asking about the vertical one in front of it, that would be a power steering resevoir.

There were 115 trucks and 58 farm tractors registered. A great show with nice weather and a sunburned face.

I have found it is easier to shift without the clutch with the old mechanical engines, especially at higher speeds, than the new electronic ones. Like Larry I do it by ear and feel and with the electronics you just do not feel the pump with your right toe. brocky

I have been doing it on everything, when I use the clutch, for 50 plus years so it is just an automatic action for my left leg. Attached is an article i wrote for one of the truck club newsletters Brocky Double clutching.doc

Ron The typing is the hard part.. Our ATHS chapter is attempting to make me a writer out of a dumb butt truck driver!! A lot of it is the same ole BS, you just have to put it in print. All you need is a computer that will type as you talk to it, then sit back and tell your stories. With the picture to go with the story in your hand it would be easy to tell the story. Brocky -
OD The pictures of Bedford reminded me Do you ever pull abrasive grit out of Wheelbrator in Bedford I was in there quite often with a van trlr for the last few years before I retired. Back Hauls from our DC in Luray to Laredo. Brocky
