Superliner RW700 Steering axle
Mark T replied to 1961H67's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I bet those trucks were green and white. They're just mixed service steers on Dean's, and my guess is being Michelins they're expensive. They say they do better on soft earth as opposed to a more ribbed highway design type. Believe it or not, a 315 steer (like may come off of a green and white truck) rated for 10000 pounds usually costs more then a like rated 385. -
Black bush..... that thing you were gonna eat that was pink inside. 🤔

Those trucks made better drivers too. -
Trust me, it looks to be long enough for a body and lift axle. It's on my mind. Especially since I had two like that.

860 area code is Connecticut. Looks like it's a truck from Canada. 25 years ago they were popular used trucks in The North East. Hardly see them anymore, let alone in the shape that one looks to be in. Beautiful truck, and they were usually decked out inside too when they were like that. 😏 I'm no more than 4 hours away from it....hmmmm

I bought one of those (right side) from Watts. IDK a part number, but the VIN was 001141 '07 CTP713 I don't remember what it cost, but I know at the time I was just happy to get one

Leak down test would be the next thing. Or remove the exhaust manifold and look for a port that looks different to see which hole to start investigating more. Leak down or a bore scope in through the injector hole. Never know, if an injector washed it down , maybe it doesn't need an entire inframe. Once the head is off, you'll see how worn the inside is in general. Sounds like you're going inside though.

That test for the turbo sometimes you need to cobble the return line to run into a pail and look for bubbles in the oil that collects in there when the return is under the oil in the pail, and just to make it interesting it needs to be sorta hot (like operating temperature) it's a messy test and you'll pump a fair amount of oil out into a bucket doing it. But ????

blackdog2, where do you get all these pictures ? I love'm , thanks for posting them all. -
Looks like some sort of walking spring suspension poking up past the frame. Like as if somebody slid a bogie in there from a duece n a half.

Mack camelback spring end cap rebuild question
Mark T replied to Lmackattack's topic in Driveline and Suspension
They're 38s in that truck. Looks like maybe someone put bigger springs in it ?? Those won't hurt anything in there, and don't get nervous if you hear them jingle'n around in there. Terry's right, those U bolts need to be tightened to spec, and it's a lot. (like 1200 or 1600 ft/lbs) or you'll be taking it apart in no time again. -
Never ran one myself. That truck in the pictures looks like it may have been aa Allen Coal truck. There were a few and right up until only a few years back there was a guy close to here used one to pull his lowboy. I was lucky enough to see it in action a couple times. I can tell you one thing, it wasn't crawl'n along when I saw it. He moved some big equipment too. They were hot in their day. If you wanted power back then, you got a 12V71 or a 1693.
