    The reason I say put a gauge on it is because when I was a mechanic we found fuel supply lines collapsing on the inside, tank vents not working right, and stuff floating in the tank that would get sucked up against the standpipe. Any of these could cause an intermittent power problem.

    Man, you're really moving along! It's looking great. Where did you get the new latches? I could use a pair of those.

    I assume you changed all your fuel filters? Did you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? It would help to put a gauge in the cab so when it acts up you can see if the fuel pressure is good. I don't know what the pressure should be but one of the Mack guys may be able to chime in on that.

    If it was in AZ for a long time, maybe no rust. Here in the midwest we dream of old Macks with no rust.

    I found a couple of NOS markers that are identical to KD517s but sold under Napa brand name. They have rubber bases that are almost flat on the bottom to fit the L and H cab but take the regular 517 lens and cover. I'd rather have the metal bases but if I don't find any then I'll use these.

    My truck has a Tu-Flo 500, I googled the part number (227326) from the tag and found highwayandheavyparts.com had one reman for $480 plus core charge so I bought it. I found one at a Mack dealer also, believe it's a new one but they wanted $1,000 for it. I got the gaskets from Barry and a water pump from John Chalmers.

    The only note I have is about an "olive" color, it's Kirker 811. I'm sorry I don't have anything on a beige or brown. What are the part numbers you have?

    Doesn't look rusty...it would be a good project.
  9. h67st
    That's going to sound good!

    I think I have a code at work, I can check in the next day or two.
  11. h67st
    No, I don't know any details on them.

    The Pete went for $17,600...that's a lot but it is a rare truck, especially this far from the left coast. The KW went for $7,150.

    That was a Craigslist ad, it's not there any more.

    Glad you saved it! It looks great, and that gravel pit is a really nice background for the photos.

    I took my clutch to the local clutch shop and surprisingly (to me and them both), they had one on the shelf. For anyone out there that has a 15" clutch with a 2" shaft, the part number is CD-15200VBS.

    Looks like you get to do most of the dirty work.
  18. h67st
    That motor sounds good.

    I got to enjoy putting the rear crank seal in today...I've never done one of these lead wire things. The manual says to use a wood dowel to roll the wire into the groove, lotsa luck with that! I ended up using a big wrist pin to force the thing down into the groove. Hopefully it doesn't leak.

    Yes, I'll take steam over sandblast any day.

    NOS MB Cab

    h67st posted a topic in Parts for Sale

    2 complete cabs, $6,000 each. Says it's a 1962...pretty wild that they would have a couple of these sitting around that long. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mack-Truck-Cab-almost-perfect-condition/303763885463

    A while back I took the engine outside and steamed it off. I've been taking parts off of it to replace all the gaskets and seals (I got upper and lower gasket kits from Watts); I'm also getting the fuel system gone through and replacing the water pump, compressor, and clutch. Today I steamed the pan, front cover, flywheel housing, and flywheel. Running the steamer is a nasty job but it sure gets things clean.

    New RD cab

    h67st posted a topic in Parts for Sale

    New cab $4,500. What is an "RD facelift" ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rd-Facelift-Mack-Cab/133569344597?hash=item1f195a7455:g:4UAAAOSwnA9fpv2q&autorefresh=true

    I believe youse correct...I was looking at the shiny new pressure plate. Vlad's plate looks like it has the spring loaded adjuster bolt.
  25. h67st
    No, remove the two end bolts and the metal strap, then turn the center bolt to adjust the pressure plate.
