Hi, good to here its getting there. where was that pic taken? Grant

Hi, he said it was going to be a totally new truck, and should be in production soon. a B double cuts the corner to much, the amount of road needed to get around a corner on the same side of the road is alot, a B Double would take out alot of cars there until people started realiseing what they need to do to make the turn. double roadtrains take less road to turn. how ever in saying that B doubles are easier to reverse. I hope they do bring them out there. Grant

Hi, I was at a freightliner dealer today here in Perth Western Australia, he was telling me that in the USA at the moment they are trialing B doubles. now I know there not talking about the 2 pups that get dragged around, he was talking about B doubles like here with a 10 or 12 pallet A trailer and a 22 pallet B trailer, there was also mention of the Argosy 110 going back into production there to hall them. does any one know anything about this? Grant

Hi, I havnt bought much from there, have been there. its a nice well presented shop with good display, the staff were good and they had one semi and 2 prime movers in there with alot of stuff on them. Grant

Hi, I just converted my R model to electric wipers. used a ford wiper motor. it now has 2 speeds with delay time to. regards Grant

Hello, thankyou and thats only there for the shutter? does nothing else? regards Grant

Hello, they are both not connected to anything, the problem is I have put one truck together out of 4 trucks the motor from the F model, gearbox from a kenworth the cab from an 89model mack, the chassis from a flintstone. so hoses were really not attended to with any interest till I needed them, now I have a truck with all new brakes that needs to be plumbed, all fuel lines need to be done, all lines to every thing actually. I am just putting it back together one bit at a time, I just rebuilt the top end of the compressor and have been working on the dash, pic in gallery. the compressor lines on the governor, wich one is wich? its a truflo 500 on an 866 regards Grant

Hi,thank you, but um, there is no dryer. Grant

Hi, where do the 2 small air lines go off the govener on an 866? thanks. Grant

Hello, no worries, thank you. i may have figured it out, will see if i am correct. also the 2 small lines on the govener on the compressor, where do they go? regards Grant

Hello, thank you. pics are fine, where does that third line go? you have 2 small ones and one large and I see its mounted lower than the pump. Grant

Hi, where does the power steer reservoir sit on an r700 with an 866? my reservoir has 3 hoses coming out of it to. 2x -6 and 1 x -10 and its a hfb 70 steering box I would have thought the -10 to pump, pump to box, box back to reservoir, whats the other hose for? and I must assume the reservoir must sit higher than the pump? regards Grant

Hello, right side, in between front shock mount and rear spring mount for front axle for memory. Grant

Hi, you mean this panel? there about 400.00aud and it has the front section on it aswell. Grant

Hi, thankyou, will try that document, got this from Mack, hopefully it helps people in same boat. document2010-01-06-1532371.pdf

Hello, I see. thankyou, and where does it go exactly? where do I get a diagram from? at the moment I have all these parts and no diagram of where they go. there is a heap of them. Grant

Hi, this is whay all brakes and steering have been done, i am unsure where all the stuff i have is made, its all come in protec red boxes and they are a big supplier of truck parts down here. the question is how to plumb it, i couldnt find a link on the bendix website on how to plumb the truck. Grant

Hi, millitary colts have specific markings and it could be worth quite alot of money, 20,000 upwards. its a great find, the barrel also has unique markings that will tell you if it has had a barrel change. Grant

Its like mine. i have all these valves, where the neck do they all go? how does it get plumbed? so far tho only air diagrams i have seen dont go into detail to where it all goes. its like a jigsaw puzzle with no picture to put it together. Grant

Hi, whats this valve and where does this go? Grant
