  1. A mack will wear out 10 drivers before a driver will wear out a Mack...
  2. Taken on a phone camera at night. Cool old R with a 60" bunk pulling a shiny bulk tanker.
  3. looking good. remember those kids toys "stompers" I had a black superliner that looked just like your truck. brings me back to my youth!
  4. yep and what pisses me off even more is a guy like ron paul has what seams my best interest in mind .......but if I vote for him its throwing the vote away and helping bozo win...
  5. Check the bright/dimmer switch also....
  6. Look at the valve covers. If they are square it's an e9 if rounded covers its a early v8. Also what trans is in it. If its a 5 speed it may give a clue. Or it may be a Detroit? Any of these will fit in a R700
  7. I was up in Plymouth wi last week they have a old plymouth switcher parked out in front of the old depot.
  8. Is this the seat that kinda pivots at your lower back? If so I like them. Less up and down movement and it holds you better than the bostrom did. What is the price on them new
  9. Love that. Paint job. More pics!!!
  10. Ok need pics of said trains,trucks any big iron...welcome to the. Site..
  11. Likely just the holes drilled for mack camelback or Volvo air ride
  12. It's local to me if you need eyes on it...
  13. I like the color...
  14. Got a set of landing legs that I dragged back from queens that he needs to come get... Will talk to him soon I'm sure...
  15. My .02 You have to hold the housing still when you remove the bolts that hold the arm to the trunnion. If you don't some times the diff will spring back when all tension is removed. Then your fighting bolting up and locating the new arm.
  16. Figures......never happens when you want it to...
  17. Another thought... If you pull the air cleaner out,have someone rev the engine and listen to the sound as the revs fall. We had a old r model that had a bad cam and you could hear the slight intermittent miss. That truck also backfired sometimes..
  18. Just throwing this out there...I had a backfire issue in a cat motor a day after an injector cup failed. Cups faild ,Filled coolant with fuel and drove 150 miles to a dealer. new cups installed next day, ran fine bob tail, idled fine...I hooked up to trailer and as soon as I got up to about 45mph it started to back fire badly...fire out the stack bad.... Limped 5 miles back to dealer and they did an injector cut out test. Fount 2 bad injectors and a bad jake solenoid. they think the water in the fuel was part to blame and the backfiring killed the jake. Almost sounds like an injector is fireing out of time or fuel is lighting off in the exhaust. If its a electrical issue that will be hard to find unless you can read and record the engine data logs in real time...
  19. Worn bearings... Won't know untill it's taken apart...
  20. contact Ray (MACK MHe9) he moves lots of stuff for us board members. He has a step deck.
  21. N&W 1218 the Y class mallet was slightly more powerful than the big boys. But the big boys had more speed and were more popular.
  22. Just look at the pic someone used for the R model that does not do it justice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mack_R_series on a side note its been 10 years that the last standard "R" has been built. it will soon be the next "b" model ;(
