    This style of rotating might be the go with a hand full or two of nuts and bolts and a few litres of diesel to loosen everything up The very worst thatwould happen is the tank ends up with lots of tiny holes in which case it was stuffed anyway Or maybe one of those fuel tank lining kits were it coats the inside of the tank to make it like a brand new tank, I have heard of some really good results with thos style of kits Paul

    Sounds like the fuel tank has something floating about in it If it was mine I would pull the tank and have a really good look inside it Great to see it out and about Paul

    I have never known a 44 Mack axle to break, even in roadtrain work I have never heard of it happening, extremely heavy haulage type of work I have heard of it happening but never seen it Learning something new everyday Paul

    My ignorance is about to really shine thru now I'm surprised that this Cummins had compression release, I wrongly related that with older Cummins All very interesting, tganks for sharing Paul

    That would be my plan of attack, if the easy iut as you call it is to long just trim a bit off until it is good to go Paul

    I feel a lot of the people on here are not really that much different no matter what part of the world we are from Old fashioned values and a good sense of humour Who knows we might just get that beer one day Paul

    Not many convert to electric start in Australia but it has been done and is a pretty simple procedure I feel Dunno about online manuals but there is usually plenty of manuals, reproduction or original on line for sale Photos of the motor and the plate on the motor should be able to tell you all you need to know The chassis number is used for id in Australia on the older Macks like this even though most Mack dealers ask for the vin number they will soon go "it doesn't work" So the chassis number is stamped behind the leading drive wheel drivers side on Australia Paul

    Shall I bring my esky and folding chair to your yard and sit and stare at from there ? It would be a pretty special truck to own Paul

    I'm not really a show type if person, I do know that having the right mix of people running the show can be the biggest problem I was involved for many years in the Caterpillar club in QLD Australia and it went great, numbers swelled but getting new people to get involved was a challenge Old hands at running the show can be a challenge as some dont want it run any other way Dunno what the right mix is but when it's right it just runs along so smoothly Paul

    Sounds like mother nature is just rolling some coal Enjoy your alone time Paul

    Another day of struggling along with a computer that has more gigga bytes than me Paul

    Shady tree, deck chair, esky and sit and stare I dont have any real plans, it is totally stuffed so I really need to fix the corrosion problems first New sides, new floors, new gates, it's a long list But I have something to work with now Paul
  24. mrsmackpaul

    Harry there was a time I thought it was quite common for all R models to have that hole in the bonnet, turns out I was wrong lol The bonnet and cab has a few extra cut outs like that that no one ever see's When the bug deflector was on the bonnet you couldn't see that hole from inside or outside Once Covid does what ever the fudge it's gunna do you should come and check out this wide brown land Bob Paul
