If I had the ability and talent to make a patch like those ?? I'd be proud if someone saw them. Looks like the fenders are worthy of being with the cab 😍

Primer ? That could easily pass for topcoat in the pictures.

Exactly. If this dude is measuring that space above the push rod.... he's clueless.

You're such a tease 😍

(V) is the valve lash adjustment and the (J) is where you set the lash for the Jake. !!! just the adjusting part . The Feeler gauge goes between the rocker arm and valve bridge to set the exhaust valve. On the Jake the feeler goes between where the slave piston contacts the part of the valve train it hits. That space the picture is focused on (in my opinion) doesn't really mean much , unless updates were ignored or something there is worn excessively. That will seem like a huge gap, but without the engine running and the Jake activated.... it will be. !!!!! this could be a problem area though if not matched to the new cam or the master piston is peened over from use over the years. I can remember updates on these parts back when these were new.

That balled seat with the hex on it is where you adjust the exhaust valve lash. Then the Jake lash is set under the slave piston. That big gap between the Jake and the domed cap is closed up when the engine is running with the Jake activated.

If he's measuring between where the master piston is hit , then there's no telling what he's measuring. The part he has the picture of isn't the valve adjustment. That's where the master piston of the Jake comes out when the Jake itself is activated and gets hit to push the slave piston to bump the valve off the seat.

That engine in the picture the guy posted has a Jake. not a Power Leash

I think the 6 speed it depended where the pto was mounted . Bergey's has a nice RD for $35,000.00

That's the same truck as in the first picture ???

That's what they call a 6 speed. It's basically a 5 speed and it has an extended low range for crawling in soft ground loaded or milling or whatever. Then there's multiple reverse speeds . It's about as complicated as a pickup from the '70s with a four speed. They're also virtually indestructible. All the guys who commented on it are pretty accurate.

A CH ? I don't think they're going to fit , let alone have enough radiator. CL ? Some were made with ISXs.

For what it's worth to you ???? I don't know if I'd be so quick to pass on that '85 for what you're planning on spending and using it for. Barring a rotted frame or something, that truck doesn't look abused. (almost looks like an old Wyoming Sand & Stone truck)

That Granite looks like an old Penn DOT. Likely rotted in spots you'd never dream of. I've seen Penn DOT trucks that actually have the intake manifold rotted to the point of losing manifold pressure.

Maybe it was repowered with one of those old Cummins C engines. Like a C160 or C180 ?? Truck looks to be in fairly good shape.

Once again.... great eye candy Thanks

Over 40-K ??? as in more than $40,000.00 ???? that's making me scared even thinking about it 🤢

Pictures are like the currency for info. We all love pictures

Who cares about what axle ratios are in that truck ? Look at the body. That little girl did some work....and my bet would be it's capable of doing lots more . Worry more about if it's gonna need costly repairs ASAP or if it'll go a while with some proper usage

That's what happens from looking at websites of dubious content 🤔

Depends what frame is in it. I don't know for sure about that model, but there is such a thing as a heavy spec single frame

Some of the Mack transmissions that had extended range low gears, also used a pretty slow axle. Those transmissions had a huge overgear to get some road speed out of it. It's true some Mack transmissions were close (?) to an 8LL. There were a couple though that you sorta needed the whole combo. Or maybe it was made with the Fuller ???

I'm pretty glad you're well again too. I was wondering where you were.

Wow !!!! look at the shape that B model is in
