500.00 starter fixed it, running great now!

Awesome, I'd hate to go home after a day putting those new parts on.

Worst part of the job ubolts on springs need a torque of 1700lbs each. torque multiplier helps 20' bar works too.

More pictures the better. Never bored here. I look forward to each update. Thanks

Little off topic but i know ya'll can help. I have a Galion 118b with a 4-71 that hasn't ran in 7 years. I attempted to start it after all these years. bled the system, started it with rack stuck, removed the injectors loosen the racks, now it runs idles but only using the lever on the governor, but the input via throttle pedal or hand doesn't have an effect on rpms. I knows this sounds crazy me asking but the machine has been vandalized and all the gauges broken so the crazy part i haven't checked the oil pressure yet, I will replace next time I start it. The question does the throttle input require a certain amount of oil pressure to operate rpms? and how scarey is working on a detroit governor? Thanks

Awesome very inspiring .

This truck was an R model Mack's biggest competition in our area 4o years ago.

Do you have to worry about warping with sand blasting the panels, or are they heavy enough gauge to resist warping.?

My Cat dealer told me hydraulic oil is 110.00 per 5 gallon bucket! OUCH!!!!! when will this all stop?

Have to agree on Caterpillar, I use my heavy equipment rarely and my D7E has been as long as 2 years without stating and fire right up, but after 7 years, i know too buy new ones as its 24 volts and both have to be in great shape to start.

I have a John deere 4720 that was purchased in 04 That still has It's original John deere battery, it isn't used but in the summer and seems to be ready each spring, with no special treatment. I have bought a few batteries from Tractor Supply that lasted only 14 months for another JD I have. I've bought several Optima Batteries and have been very pleased with them, the only problems I have had, are one that was charged for five days, "I didn't know the timer was broken on my charger", ruined, but it was 8 years old. and a red top Optima that was drained many times dead from a bad alternator. I was curious what length of time other's have had ? What battery they recommend? I use to be a Delco fan, till I had several bust or crack around the post spilling acid everywhere. Thanks Kevin

The driver's look like escaped felon's .

This show was more than I could bear. This over drama is killing these shows as for this show it has to be a joke.

hook it straight to the batteries as usual

The differents is you had talent and desire to learn. You probably didn't have a union to bail you out instead of being devoted to learn.

Why did they order Macks with auto transmission? For Unions, with female drivers. My dad lost an account because the females at a company couldn't drive dm Macks with six speeds . The company instead had to go back and useing Ford f600s with 460 gas engines with c6 transmissions and also had to buy d5 bulldozers to push these truck up an incline they had. The females complained and the union stepped in. btw the fords were only lasting a year and had to be multiplied times the number of Macks to move the amount of dirt that needed to be moved.

I Agree with your statement, but for the first time. I really feel this nation is in trouble, it's true what you stated this country was built on. but the nation has been sold first of all to China. Nafta has created a generation that has been brought up with children seeing their parents laid off . loosing jobs that generations of family members have always had. and their Teachers that spent the last four or five years with a liberal professor pound in their heads how a life style that isn't natural should be explored and funded with tax payer money, and children are taught this belief for 7 hours everyday, these children have seen their parents forced to live off the goverment, their healthcare provided by the goverment, their education provided by the goverment. This is the only life they know, Most children have no real man in there life they can look up to. when they get thousands of dollars each year billed as, so called earned income credits, for having children outside of marriage. Who do you think their ever going to vote for? someone who might take this free money away? Just think of how many people that you know that live off the goverment, not including seniors, and how many you know that pay taxes. the ratio is getting worst everyday without shame. I have a very healthy cousin that boast how much free food he and his able body wife get in food stamps. He wasn't raised this way, but this way of thinking is like a cancer on the american soul that is eating our nations foundation away. We idolized ball players that live a moral less life, Draft dodging boxers are made to be thought of as hero's, we listen to movie stars that are in and out of marriages stand up at a election rally's and tell us what's wrong with america. And we say nothing for the fear of being labeled as a hate mongrel, our son's wear their pants down around there butts to dress like prisoners, Have we gone crazy? The elections are actually being bought with your tax dollars and why would it ever change? Morals are taught to be out dated. Christian beliefs are mocked and taught to be of hate and oppressiveness. Their taught to embrace perversion, and never question anything that is spouted that could posible saves the planet from global warming. look what ethenol has done to our gas engines and gas mileage . today's TV shows portray a hard working man as a fool and the woman along with her children are always by far smarter and in tune with true life than the father. Remember All in the family? Archie was the only one working supporting the entire family but he was always made out a buffoon and his free loading children hated everything he stood for, but they still ate his food and let him shelter them. The liberal world is the same way they hate everything that built this country, but love its freedom. I believe the passion we share for mack trucks is the same reason we love what built america, there was a time Mack built a quality truck that was apart of America's greatest accomplishments Hoover Dam, Big dig in Boston, and many more, also the men that drove and bought Mack's were great men, they too believed in hard work and in a quality piece of work and equipment, and we looked up to them and the truck they so often admired. I'll stop but its very sad state we're in. God please save us.

Hey guys lets stop feeding the insanity. This guy only messing with us now. LOL There's plenty Iveco's Isuzu's for him out there.

The picture alone on the guy posting this topic reminds me of a disney villian.

Congrats on the new arrival.

By the way did not run it without the airfilter breather, that was taking off after it was but in mothballs.
