    It looks like “O & SONS” the truck has been in Southern California for at least 25 years the interior has had animals living inside so it will be gutted i need to deal with the seized throttle pedal and brake pedal. the clutch feels real stiff The ignition switch is out and there are several air valves laying in the cab and one is missing the instrument panel bezel is missing, the battery box covers are not on the truck it will need a new drivers door it has a NTC335, 13 speed, 4.10 gears and 24.5 wheels

    I bought another Mack on Saturday it’s a little rough and has been sitting since 2007

    I did the inside of the cab on my latest project a 1989 F800 with lizard skin and then quiet ride and the combination is great my only concern is with water leaks since both of my Mack’s have small drips and the quiet ride insulation will absorb water

    Also did the speedometer gear box, get changed or forgotten? the speedometer on my 1975 did not work until I removed this from the side of the trans and found the drive tang was broken

    45 colt would be correct

    I emptied the tank today and replaced the valve with a NOS valve, all this for a stupid o ring that you can’t replace when there is fuel in the tank
  7. Quickfarms
    Can you replace just the shaft seal? I have one that drips and I would rather just replace the seal than draining the tank and replacing the entire valve.

    What suspension is in the internationals and the Mack? each truck has multiple options that are picked when it was ordered. Also just because it was built with one suspension does not mean that is what is on it now.

    How did the install go and what is the part number for the cruse control

    The truck developed issues with the injection pump so it has been parked while I worked on finishing my Ford F800 and the green Mack.

    I have grown to like the knuckle boom and the fact that I can keep the cable really short to minimize the swing. I grew up around cranes and it took a lot of experience and practice to keep the load from swinging. This is not an issue with a knuckle boom I had to use the green Mack to put the fifth wheel on the ford F800 Friday because the forklift is down for a brake job

    If the truck still has a sleeper on it you may be able to register it as an RV. you need to check your state laws to see what is legal there.

    Good luck I run a small land surveying business
  14. Quickfarms
    Where are you located? does the truck have a sleeper? what year is the truck?
  15. Quickfarms
    Yes with only one tire in the air you have to rotate the tire two revolutions to get the gear ratio. if you don’t want to change the drivetrain you have a 45 mph truck there. If you put 9-20’s on it and a overdrive, from a large pickup, you will have a nice local toy. if you want to haul a camper then it needs a drivetrain swap. For my Chevy I am looking for a K30 and doing a body swap. My friends think I should put an LS motor in it

    My 1942 1.5 ton Chevy has a 6.67 gear ratio in both axles. The same ratio is in the CCKW, WW2 2.5 ton

    Lately I have seen a bunch of container chassis that are running 22.5 tires I have tube tires on a few older trucks, that I keep local, only until they wear out
  18. Quickfarms
    This transfer case is not common to the duece of 5 ton
  19. Quickfarms
    22.5 fit 20” spiders 24.5 fit 22” spiders at least this is my understanding, and is due to how the tires are measured there are still Speedo shops around. And gear adapters are still available. A lot of speedometers after the 80’s are electronic and calibrated by changing switches on the back of the speedometer

    I want to go the other way with my transfer case my transfer case is a Rockwell MR-226 (meritor T-226) that I want to convert from a shifter for the hi-lo function to air shift but I have not found any information on line about how to do this
  21. Quickfarms
    Due to cost the popular tire is a 22.5
  22. Quickfarms
    That applies to the roads and most of the freeways in Southern California Here the sign would read “sports bras required”
  23. Quickfarms
    Mine is grimy behind the Parking brake release Valves

    I am getting mama a new phone so it will be easier for her to pick up all of my parts

    When I first went to drain the air tanks on my 1975 R685 I found that the passenger side tank had a quick disconnect in the tank where the drain should have been. what a mess came out of the tanks on that truck. There was even oil behind the dash and above the headliner due to an air leak at the air horn valve. I would check the air filter and drain the tanks daily to see if this is a real problem or something you can live with does the truck have an air dryer on it?
