  1. Here is a short article I wrote about double clutching: On my computer when you click on the link it puts another box in the bottom left corner which you have to click on to open?? Double clutching.doc
  2. As long as you are empty just play with the main at first, then play with the compound while in 3rd or 4th in the main.. After you get the feel of them then mix them together..
  3. Bulldog, Try contacting Tony Champion in Rockhampton QLD. He was a large Mack dealer as well as being a BIG Mack collector and might be able to answer your questions.. I do not have an email address for him BUT if you Google Volvo Commercial Vehicles there should be a contact button? Maybe Mrs Mack Paul has the contact info?? Here is a link to some pictures of his facility, scroll to the bottom of the page: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/84264/Down-Under-Trip?PageIndex=7
  4. Not really sure?? BUT I think I have heard it was part of import/export tariffs and local made content rules????
  5. Great!! I will there looking for you, Brocky
  6. There has been a yellow one from New England at Macungie a few times.. Jim Hancock probably has a picture of it??
  7. Gonna take a back hoe and a couple of BIG winches to get him back on the road..
  8. Skippy, Thank you for keeping us posted with your progress, your family is doing great work, especially the fine pictures.. I have been following it from the start.. What I am most impressed with is that your truck is a FAMILY project!! That you have motivated your son to be involved shows us the loving your family has in all of its life. You can be sure that he will value this truck as the "family truck" until he becomes an old man..
  9. This Question cam up on the Aussie truck forum.. Maybe someone on here can help him?? https://www.hcvc.com.au/forum/truck_Chat/19365-wanted-jacobs-brake-parts#219653
  10. Joey, Glad to hear you are recovering.. Just DO NOT overdo it and have a relapse.. If you are having the same 70 degree sunshine up there that we are having in SC, Just set a lawn chair on the back deck and enjoy it!!! I have to get motivated on some yard work..UGH!!
  11. Joey, Here is wishing you a speedy recovery.. Our prayers are with your whole family.
  12. Doug Maney, the curator of the Mack Museum has one that he has shown at Magungie several times.. PM me and I can send you his email address. That is his truck in the above picture, You can still see where the Sinclair Oil lettering was.. I have some pictures but am having trouble with Postimage bringing them up and posting..
  13. Who side swiped who??? Sure am glad I do NOT have to pay for that fuel spill clean up!!!
  14. Skippy, Good!! But try Dave also as he might have pictures of your truck when it was working for the Paper Co and/or more history on it since the Mack museum is still closed.
  15. Try and contact ATCA member, Mack Man, and Double Clutch author Dave Zsido who lives in Rutland VT (???) He is the expert on Vermont trucking companies. Call Andrea at the ATCA office in Boyertown PA 610-367-2567 and she should be able to give you his contact info.
  16. It was always a toss up as to which was worse: Banning or Truckee!!! Been retired 10 years now, but the last 5 years driving I had to cross Banning regularly. Got inspected once but nothing serious..
  17. Bob, Truckee and most of the other Calif scales were A$$holes!!! Probably wanted to count your chains so they could give you a ticket if you were missing one!!
  18. Check with Jeff Lakaszcyck in FL : lakaszjl@aol.com He has about 100,000 pictures in his library and can possibly help you??
  19. OR at least put them on the SAME health and retirement programs that the rest of us are on!!!!!
  20. Used are fine.. Just look them over close for patches on the inside and cuts in the sidewall and tread..
  21. Chilly Willard, That picture was taken at the ATHS Virginia Carolina chapter show combined with the Brad Wike Southern Classics show at Brad Wike's farm in Lincolnton / Maiden NC.
  22. Bob, and others, You can view the whole trip 9 pages and about 500 pictures here: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/84264/Down-Under-Trip?Keywords=Down Under trip
  23. I think Doug Fetterly of Harrisville NY was building the Battery Boxes?? He is probably in Florida right now for the ATCA Winter National show in Leesburg FL next weekend and the Daytona races the next weekend.
  24. Paul is right!! Just go to the parts desk or service counter, introduce yourself in a professional manner, and start asking questions. If your club is associated with ATHS or HCVC of AU it might help and you can get some contact info directly with Tony from them??
  25. Jeff Thanks.. I could not remember what it did to the trailer..
