    Make sure the air cleaner is not stopped up. I have seen that happen a few times and at idle there is enough vaccuimn there and it can suck oil from front seal.

    I have trouble understanding some of the yound born and raised usa girls. Some sound like Donald Duck talking to me and make no more sence when you do understand.

    Sounds like the a/c switch is making the fan come on and it is a timed out put meaning it will go off after so many seconds or mins.

    A early 673 used a felt dust wiper that looked as a seal but had a oil deflector on the inside of the cover. I think the later crank seal if that is what your talking about but i think it was a direct replacement for the felt.If you can find a seal at the dealer i would pull seal and take to a store who seels seals.I dont think you will have a problem. We have a few stores here who seel brgs and seals and you may have to give them the meaurements.

    I am think the second pic is a shut off valve to the shutters. There was at one time a small resevoir that shutter fuild would be kelp in.

    Make sure all drive tires are same height.

    Make sure your cables are OO in size or larger. 12V needs a larger cable than a 24 V system. Then a volt lost test needs down on all connections and cables.As well as a 12 V starter.

    I think they are better compressor than the bendix untill they are on a 60S DD and they are short life.I have a E 7 with a Holset compressor on it.

    You must be as old as dirt. Not many guys remenber or have seen them.Something i have forgot is have you ever seen a pull clutch in a quadplex?I think they came up into the R models with them but can not remenber for sure.
  13. theakerstwo
    You are correct.

    If your talking about splitting the 5 gears in low range withe deep reduction like a 13 speed slpitter then no you cant.

    A 4.17 rear is a problem on lot of macks with the big over drive trans and even on the older macks. They would be better off if the trans was a .83 o/d instead of a .71 like mine.You stay under 1500 rpm to long in hi gear.

    A rebuilder in Dallis a few moths ago priced rebuilding a box of mine or exchangine one for a inside frame rail mack for 440.00. But two weeks ago i had to have one on my superliner and got one her over night from our spring shop and it was about 675.00 but its worth it to not worry about a half wore out part that can kill you and some ones little buddy child out there.That would kill me to have to live after killing a small child that was riding around with his mommy just having fun for the day.

    NO Also i did a Mack that way a few years back and i think i had to change a air supply line to constant air supply for thye spilter. Could be wrong. My mack info is to for to go get now.

    I second what all has said and if your not a good truck mechanic dont try messing with it.So many trucks have been put in the salvage yard over this kind of thing. when you stop and think about it the whole thing is a blessing that it happened the way it did. The good Lord has been helping you out some there.The shaft and arm is what i would say worn out because the bolt that holds it on dont come off for no reason with out the spline being worn.

    There was two styles of S/P switches and have not seen one like you have in years. This is used i think only by mack and it is the one which has the magnectic switch built in the switch and does not use a senold on the starter. Later years they went to the smaller switch which used a senoild on top of the starter.It only had two section in the s/p switch.You switch is call a s/p switch magnectic combination.

    I see two problems. The front mount on a B73 was a trunion mount meaning it was a rap around the center trunion that some old cummins had around the crank on the front cover. I have seen these mounts up later on 855 engines but have never seen one on a big cam. The best thing is use the front mount from a big cam and build your cross member that it sets on. The other thing is the flywheel and clutch will be a pull type if using the old mack trans.The flywheel from a 220 will not be same as a 855 engine.

    Did you bleed all of the air out of the system? Some times its hard to do.

    This is i guess a rear chamber with the parking brake on it. If so sounds to be leaking thru the spring chamber in to the service side. To check it is simple and you would with the parking brakes released disconect the service hose to the chamber and there should be no air coming from the service port of the chamber. If it is replace the chamber.

    I think you are talking about when you hold down the foot valve. Us play like that is what your saying and that it ius a wabco. The most problems i have seen with them leaking when air is applied is trash in the valve and holding the seat open. Some times it is rust from the brake chamber. If it is rust you some times can do a accuator test were it purges the valve and that is did under full foot valve pressure. This will clear the rust some times.If it does pull the chamber apart and take a look.

    In the 60s i remenber two mid range engines the B models used. One was a END 465 and the other was a END 475. One was a santia and the other was a small looking 673 look alike.Both had two heads.I am thinking the 475 was the santia
  25. theakerstwo
    If not 66 for sure 67. I know the ENDT 673 B and C was built in 66. I was thinking next year same engine but different governor made the 237 with out tip turbin.With 5 speed only.
