That part of it was likely a tank of some sort at one time.

It looks like a power assist system on it. The pump is a Vickers. That just supplies the system with pressurized oil. The valve in the picture is the control valve, then I'm assuming it has a cylinder attached to the tie rod underneath it. What are you trying to repair on it ?

That pump is a Vickers. I would think parts for it are still available or a suitable replacement is. The control valve ? That might be a problem. Are you sure it's a Ross valve ? The cylinder ? would seem a good hydralic place could do something with that. Wouldn't surprise me if a different make control valve would interchange with your's. Reservoir, a newer Nelson wouldn't be a very dificult swap.

IDK maybe it's from a lifetime of truck'n makes it easy to see when you're get'n screwed faster than some. One thing , the media out and out lies. Gas is cheaper, that's a laugh. $4.13 a gallon for bulk onroad here in PA. How can the tens of thousands of people driving past a Flying J not notice ? No matter the subject.....WE all pay more while more and more get a free ride. Whether a politician or some one getting a handout (which still benefits a politician) It blows my mind in so many ways all the BS that goes on. Taxation without representation, how it all started......and we're there again.

Vlad is on to something. There's an old post from 41chevy from about ten years ago with a bogie upside down that looks quite similar.

Thing I don't understand is why people worry about paying for tariffs, but when billions goes missing in fraud there's not even half the concern.

This would be a good mystery for that guy that straightens the framesin Texas. Looks like it has an extra spring added .

How about when a young guy refers to you as an " old guy " and not doing being a wise ass. 🤔 Never saw it coming.

Shoulda bought a lottery ticket too.

I've never layed eyes on an Allis Chalmers engine in a truck. Read about them, but never saw one. From what I've read, they were pretty impressive for the time.

You're just thinking of a time when if you were on a highway, you couldn't go a half hour without seeing one.

Happy Birthday 🎂

Yes. If I'm not mistaken the CH/CX is 33 and a half inches wide too. Never intended for anything but raw Mack 6 cylinder power.

Didn't they spread out in the front on the MH RW2 and CL700 ? I kinda remember if they had a liner (double frame) it was the same size as the back up to around the rear front spring hangers and rear motor mount area .

See how ya are 🤪
