Pooch for every occasion there Paul

The king pins can take some pushing to get out, I normally pull the axle and put them in a press, still need some heat even then Amazing thing is, once they are loose the seem to just slip in and out really easy Paul

Hey Mack fans, The countdown is on, with 81 days until one of the best weekends of the year!!! Don’t forget to lock the 21st and 22nd of March 2026 into your calendars, to get your Macks to Kyabram!! 📅 We hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and here’s looking forward to what 2026 brings! 🎄✨ Sad to Glad!! 🐶🚛: The news of the legendary B Model being replaced came as quite a shock to many passionate Mack owners. Why change such a tough, reliable Bulldog? was the loud cry back in 1966. Mack Trucks Australia certainly heard that feedback and responded with ads and brochures explaining the move to the R Series, reassuring owners that there were BIG improvements to be had — 22 of them, in fact. Best of all, the traditional and trusted Mack components remained: the Mack 711 engine, Quad box transmission, and those famously tough axles and suspensions. Truly the best of both worlds. The brawny new shape of the R Series, according to Mack, said “Truck” with a capital T. With the R Series, Mack claimed it was more than ever the MAN’s TRUCK — bold words indeed! History proved that chest-beating was well founded, with the R Series going on to become the most popular model ever produced by the Bulldog breed. 💪🐶 Paul

It could be bound up with paint maybe ?

I'm thinking high beam, low beam and parking light in the lower light and the upper is high beam only Paul

I'm thinking a squirt of normal engine oil would help a lot as the seal is probably dry as chips Paul

I have noticed in Australia when RoadRangers/Eaton are installed in Macks aftermarket, a rear transmission mount is also used, these range from a propper engine mount rubbber deal to a section of leaf spring out of a car or pickup as you blokes call them These might be only 2 or three leaves, I wonder are they really needed or not ? Paul

These were modified for Australia like this, I think the head lights were to high on the U.S. cabs and this was the answer So All Kiwi and Australian Cruiseliners have 4 head lights like this Paul

Well I have no good answers as to we're that starts or finishes I have would expect that is a pressure regulator valve and from memory,the only ones I recall seeing are on the transmission for the range change I wonder if it is a built in safety feature that won't allow the brakes to release unless you have enough air for the transmission?? But I have no idea at all Paul

A photo fresh to hand that my son took the other day Not Mack but, still a good action shot Paul

Well I have comr with a plan As a kid my grandfather told me that when he was painting the house and the paint was looking like it wasn't going to be quite enough, he was going to "paint quicker to beat the paint running out" So I guess I need to drink quicker to beat the bourbon running out Paul

As everyone else has already said, Merry Christmas everyone and Dean, thanks for taking us along for the ride Paul

Hay is now made for the year and now the carting in the hay beggins My boy and his lady friend are down for Christmas and they wanted to cart the hay in, so fired up the Mack and put a flat top trailer on, gave Tess, my sons lady friend some driving instructions for the front end loader and set them free Paul
