    My guess would be 12,000 to 13,000 lbs. My tandem H model is 12,000.

    1986 Superliner in Virginia. Says it has a newer E6 350, rebuilt T2090. Looks really good in the photos. Buy it now is $35,000. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1986-Mack-Superliner/333841200687?hash=item4dba7c762f:g:yqQAAOSwQqRf66wq

    This thing is a beast! In Bluefield VA, asking $50,000. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/428677734806061/?ref=search&referral_code=undefined

    The shiny frames really set off the red paint nicely!

    Do these mudflaps make my butt look big?

    I see you have your shutter lube pot there...did you rebuild it? I took mine apart today and I haven't looked to see if I can get a new gasket or biscuits for it.

    I was dropping off my radiator at the shop yesterday and this truck pulled in. No idea what he hit.

    What I've seen done before is to rinse down from the top with mineral spirits or other petroleum solvent. If it's dirty enough you could even soak in a bucket or cutoff barrel of solvent. Blow dry or allow to air dry.

    This truck is definitely the nicest build I've seen, I've enjoyed watching the progress.

    McMaster Carr didn't have anything close to this size. I should have called Watts with KKergall's part number but I had already searched ebay for "throwout bearing return spring" and found a guy with springs for old Massey Ferguson tractors...similar size so I bought one. It works well. I stabbed the trans to the engine, it went in easy the first time so I must have done something wrong. I'm still waiting for the pump and injectors from the rebuild shop, as soon as I get them I can paint this and put it into the chassis.

    Volvo virus.

    My understanding is that since this is a dry liner engine, you can do that...right? I used to work on Cats (wet liners) and we had to keep the SCA level up or the liners would pit and eventually eat a hole through the wall.

    Does anyone know the part number or someplace to get a new spring? I have one but it's worn out. It's about 1-3/8" long, 3/4" diameter, and .060" wire diameter.

    Weren't the first Paccar engines a lot of trouble?

    I like that one.

    When I grew up in the 60s and 70s in Ohio we called them spoke wheels, and any disc wheel we called budds. You're right--it just depends on where you live, there are different names here and there.

    I get that some people think these old trucks should be kept historical, but there are thousands of B models out there and I'd much rather see someone fix one up like you're doing than to see it sit out and rust into the ground. It's really neat to see one on the road and like you say if it's driveable then it will be on the road more often.

    They're just trying to get other dog to take their picture.

    I bought a 66 Fairlane years ago with a spun bearing, it had sucked up a chunk of brittle valve seal into the oil pump and twisted the oil pump hex shaft in two.

    Saw this pic on the web...the guy said the driver went over 400 miles on the Aussie Outback like this. What a mess!

    Looks like you did a real nice job of masking off the non-paint stuff...can't wait to see the finished product!

    Jim posted a lot of great pictures over the years and he had a lot of good info on the old Macks.

    You could take the lift pump off and see if the check valves look good.

    On mine, the front mount bracket is split with 2 bolts holding it together so you can set the engine in it.

    Yesterday I went to install the front pulley hub. I bought a 12" piece of 7/8" all-thread from McMaster-Carr for $5.00 to press it on with (worked great). However, I should have read the repair manual before I put the front cover on--turns out you're supposed to use a special collar to line up the cover with the crank. I took the cover loose and eyeballed it to get it centered, we'll see how accurate my eyes are. I wish Mack would have doweled it at the factory like they do the flywheel housing.
