Ford Ranger and Bronco rumors swirl yet again
68-f-model replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
The ford Cargo is Europe, China and South America with zero plans for the US. It is a full class 8 truck , at least that is what ford told me when I designed the wire harness for it this summer. There are how ever two different cargo platforms thus requiring two different harnesses . The only difference between the two I know about is the sheet metal on the cab is physically wider 102 or so millimeters according to the cad models I have from Ford Otosan in Turkey. -
Posted for underdog: A friend of mine has this pyrometer brand new in the box, circa 1978. Like to know what it may be worth. Has extra wire and sensor, all new in box.
-
I would say run them. But then again I am biased towards wider tires.

I could grab stuff from ranch was what I meant he isn't to far from me. I am meeting up with ken in canton Ohio around the 22nd he is nice enough to grab a windshield and other parts from Gregg at the show a while back for me.

I am headed to see farmer52 from Kalamazoo Michigan around the 22nd. I could take some things along if that would help.

Just bought it
68-f-model replied to russoniellov's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I shipped my f -model on u-ship from southern Mississippi to Michigan for about $1800 last fall. Got lucky and found a guy who lives near me and was on a back trip home from down south with an empty lowboy. -

What ever did that had some serious force. I just hope it didn't bend an axle housing at the same time.

After market harness into mack
68-f-model replied to 68-f-model's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
One reason I like old trucks vs new. Mercedes semi truck fuse box on the left (one of many in the truck)...... my new harness and fuse box for my Mack on the right. Yes I ordered the all black harness from E-Z Wiring as I think it will look cleaner installed. It is screen print labeled every 6 inches so identifying wires is simple. I said to myself for under $200 why mess with old questionable wiring.

Most likely a single cylinder. Similar to these other small diesels. http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/BISON-CHINA-Competitive-Price-8hp-Diesel_60226864582.html http://czshark.en.alibaba.com/product/288429157-50177828/8HP_Half_Speed_Air_Cooled_Single_Cylinder_Diesel_Engine.html

Why not mix the two 50/50 and then you will have the same hybrid ratio gear oil something like a 75w-115 in each rear end?
-
It had really really old green it it when I got it so when I drained to to replace the water pump, thermostat and all the hoses I replaced it with fresh new green. I also got the largest coolant filter with conditioner they had it has 12 oz or so conditioner. What will I hurt if I use this set up for a while before draining and changing over to red coolant?
-
I miss understood which lines you were referring to. My injector lines are hat plumbed with steel I just replaced the old rotted braided supply lines.
-
I have a 5 speed, not sure a 10 speed pto would work with it.
-
Ok I was thinking it might have had a rear or side mount pto. I failed noticing it was a former mixer with a front mount pump. Thanks
-
All new fuel and oil lines only set me back about $280. Worth it for the piece of mind I think.
-
Does it have a wet kit? I see hoses in the last picture. Depending on what transmission it has I might be interested in the kit.

Interesting Mack, no connection http://grandisland.craigslist.org/cto/5235381643.html

Must be because only have those 5 simple speeds to shift up through.
