Have fun Paul

What part of the world are you from The reason I ask is because when diesel is used in the more tropical parts of the world it grows a moldy slimy residue in the wet season There are different fuels to prevent this Maybe something to look at Paul

So all American Superliners had a bolt on piece on the front of the chassis rails like the photo above ? Paul

Dunno, I don't play around with this old junk to show it off and things like that, I selfishly do it because I enjoy it I guess we are all different and as long as the fella had fun I guess thats all that matters Paul

Your moving right along there Should prime up pretty easy I eould of thought, good luck and keep us posted Paul

I have a scan of this from Mack Australia bulldog bulletin Dunno if it is any clearer but I'll have a hunt about and see if I can find it I reckon these good old adds from Mack would sell like hot cakes if Mack did a rerun in large poster size or even as a tin sign to hang in the shed Paul

Tyres on Mack axles need to be matched as the power divider isnt a diff If only one axle was changed it would mean that this axle is trying to drive the truck faster than the other axle So it is important to measure and be aware of this Match the tyres in duals and run the two biggest sets diagonally opposite each other This then allows the diff centers to take up the slight difference in diameter It is a no no to put new tyres on only the one axle on a Mack bogie drive Paul

Correct And if you were to draw a line end to end the yokes on each shaft should line up, but between the shafts they should be slightly different As a general rule of thumb, it might be only my thumb though, each shaft should be one notch on the spline anti clockwise working from the front to the rear This is called phase angle Dunno how or why this makes a difference but experience tells me it does Paul

Sorry I thought you were selling one in the other post 100 grand Australian if it's fair to good condition For a real good one 100grand Australian plus Paul

Yep, I would aim high, a lot higher tjan you think Everyone has a horn for the E9 V8 these days and they aren't making anymore of them Series 1 Superliners are the one I would have if I was that way inclined Paul

Well I guess we dont have to understand them They are having fun d oing it their way Personally I dont understand these great big tall gear sticks, I reckon it would be easy to break a selector fork and must put a lot of wear on the transmission with that extra weight resting on the dogs I reckon the sticks would make it jump out of gear on rough roads Paul

Yeah I thought it was time to update it Old Mrs Mack has changed more in the last five years than the 35 before that I reckon the old photo was maybe 20 years ago Paul

I reckon if it was running and all is as expected, I could see the grin on Matts face from Australia 😃 Paul

Yep and Daisy is still rocking it as well

LOL The General Lee, it can do so much, jump bridges, out run the fuz, run moon shine, pick up hot chicks and look cool as well while doing this and so much more Paul

My good mate Mal, the fella that painted my truck is always up for some fun But in recent years his wife aka "the diff" like a old Holden with a crook diff, whines the whole bloody time gets a face on her like a cows bum everytime we try and have some fun so I haven't done much with Mal for a few years now Paul

We expect nothing less from you Joey As some further useless information to your cows methmethane It has now been worked out by the scientists in Australia and NewZealand that the same amount methane is produced whether the gas comes from the grass dieing and breaking down on the ground as it does from when a cow chews her cud The methane from a cow or sheep is mainly produced when she chews her cud and burbs the gas out her mouth and not out the bum as commonly said Yes more side tracked sorry Paul

I have never known anything like this, I just do as my father taught me Do them up tight, back off 1 1/2 flats on the nut I wonder close what I was taught is to whats meant to be done On a six sided nut 1 1/2 flats is a 1/4 of a turn, but on 8 sided nuts my fathers plan falls apart a bit lol And those other weird nuts sometimes found on drive axles leave dads plan in a shambles lol But Dad was "just we're 1 1/2 flats are meant to be" or a bar and a bit of wood on the floor and rock the wheel while checking for movement, this also seams to work okay for me Still I have now learnt the proper way today, thank you Paul

I would of wrongly thought that Europes emission standards were stricter than the north America Paul

I dunno about looks, they are a good goer and will make any other brand look pretty average on performance Im surprised with the talk of big power and lack of it I read about on here that these aren't sellig like hot cakes in the States Paul

No, the same size seal works fine, have used many over the years and never had a issue Paul

Birthdays are rolling around quick Run a muck and have a great old time Paul

Looking real good I'm sure it will all be fine Paul

I rarely use tefoln tape except for plumbing in the house I have had tiny bits break of and block airlines and get in fuel lines Hydraulic oil corrodes it and it begins to leak a long time later I rate it about aa good as silicone or those form a gasket types Thread sealant, the none hardening type, loctite is my preferred brand is all I use these days Use proper thing for the job, to many sure cuts and "she'll be right" type of thinking have come back to haunt me over the years, I think that's called life experience 😆 Paul

As far as I know and we all know that I know two tenths of stuff all If the injector pump or the drive to the pump is moved at all it will need to be spill timed I have done this before and for me it is very daunting and needs two people How ever it isn't impossible and no special tools are needed If you can wait until tonight my time I'll scan the information out of the manual if I can find it Paul
