Looking for photos of a B-61T with END673 for reference
Keith S replied to Keith S's topic in Engine and Transmission
Great pictures. I knew I was missing a lot of "stuff". Thanks. -

I'm upgrading it before it's on the road. More batteries and another motor. I'm working on the B61 to get an idea of where it's at: It's rough and missing a lot of parts - that's why I'm trying to get pictures for the routing of air line, fuel lines, intake air... I finally found some information on the BARTLETT 8A1 lifting 5th wheel: \ Kinda rough with lots of repair welds and extra bracing. Haven't found any documentation on it - the rubber billows (photo below) makes me think in air powered. I finally found an inlet fitting - but nothing fits it. It might be an airline bulkhead fitting - like the fitting for the front brakes . It's the only fitting I haven't tried. -

This is exactly the kind pictures I need. That is a serious housing attaching the box to the frame! Thanks. -

I'll remove the steering box and weld the notch and fix/fill all the extra side holes. -
I bought a rough and partially assembled '53 B-61T with a END673. The engine supposedly runs/ran. I'm not sure what's coming from the Mack Museum, so I'm looking for diagrams and photos from a running B61 with an END673. Specifically: Fuel injection lines - to and from the pump. This is what I have: See above photo: Engine compartment air lines and routing: See above photo Air intake routing What mounts on top of the exhaust manifold - Engine accessories - generator/alternator brackets. Someone "installed" power steering. Steering gear FYI: I'm not converting it to electric (but I may install electric power steering).

Nothing new on the Mack B-46E... I have a retired helper, but his skills are limited to rough sanding, rust removal, painting (spray cans). Very little work for him on the Mack B-46E. But... Friday I looked '56 B-61 Don't be fooled by the pictures - especially the chassis. Yes, it was painted... lots of paint! Engine supposedly runs. Good price Haven't officially talked to my wife about it. But, considering she is willing to spend $6,000 on her 2006 mini Cooper for paint and new clutch... -

My shop is in Gainesville, FL. I didn't want to modify too much stuff before I knew how it was supposed to work. A lot of the big stuff was learning by doing. And finding parts - big parts. And the terminology - spider, S-cam, compressor governor, line dryer... Had to buy bigger tools too - 3/4" sockets and impact wrench, 3ft breaker bar... Prior to this, my biggest breaker bar was 1.5 ft. And, "is that a typo - torque to 450ft-lbs"!!! Why does anything need to be that tight?!? 😆 Posts from this group helped a lot. -

I moved the shop and then got sidetracked on the eMack. And then the owner of a 1976 Alfa Romeo Spider wanted his car restored and converted to electric - rust had taken its toll and if his mother wasn't the original owner the car would not have been worth it. Not sure what my last post here was, but here's a flickr photo link to my various project - including the eMack. https://www.flickr.com/photos/emack/albums I've also attached a couple videos.

I never heard of Mystery Doug, but if we have similar views 🤔, he must be some sort a super genius

It is normal for someone to see (and hear) what they want to see. What is being seen may not be what was intended to being shown. If what I'm saying is not being heard as I intended, I need to rephrase it I did not use the term mentally challenged. I try very hard not to label people Addiction is addiction; drugs; sex; hoarding; people (a "stalker" is an addict) Biology is founded on addiction. Every organism goes through some form of withdrawal when deprived of food, air, and water. Without an addiction to food, water, air, all living things will die.

Beliefs can become an addiction. All addictions alter brain chemistry That altered chemistry eventually becomes that person's "new" normal chemistry Maintaining that new normal chemistry requires a "fix". Without that kick, brain chemistry begins changing from its new normal and the addict goes through withdrawal. People with very strong, cult-like beliefs have altered their "normal" brain chemistry When the beliefs and reasoning of a cult member is sufficiently challenged, their brain chemistry rapidly changes from its "new normal" and they will seek that fix, that mantra, that person who will soothe and restore their beliefs and calm their brain's altered chemistry. This is why it is so very, very hard to "reason" someone out of a cult. A person will find a reason, no matter how small, to justify their belief that someone is/was exactly as they thought. One slip and I went from: Someone presenting "interesting points" and discussion... worth talking about to Someone who "... proved (I am) just a typical liberal Democrat acting out childishly with name calling."

And... criminal probe ordered by United States Attorney General Eric Holder, a Obama appointee. 😱 A democrat initiating a criminal investigation against "liberal-leaning" groups. 😱 Fast and Furious: Track firearms as they were transferred (sold) to higher-level [drug] traffickers (straw purchasers) and key figures in Mexican cartels, with the expectation that this would lead to their arrests and the dismantling of the cartels. Of 2,000 guns, 710 were recovered and one United States Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in December 2010. The 2010 sale to Rosatom was subject to approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, an intergovernmental agency that includes input from the Departments of: State Treasury Justice Energy Defense Commerce Homeland Security The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Beyond the State Department, eight other government agencies approved the Uranium One sale Benghazi. If only it were that simple. The panel (chaired by Trey Gowdy), spent more than $7.8 million over two and a half years, disbanded at the end of the 114th Congress. The final report clocks in at more than 322,000 words. Have you read the report? YES/NO He drew a line that was crossed and didn't back it up Obama, China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union agreed that if Iran signed the nuclear agreement, they would:: Lift sanctions and the freeze on Iran’s assets that were held largely in foreign, not U.S., banks. The unfrozen funds belonged to Iran. The funds had only been made inaccessible by sanctions aimed at crippling the country’s nuclear program. Think for yourself. This is right-wing millionaire talking heads nonsense. A lose-lose situation. It was publicly acknowledge that Russia (not the Ukraine) was trying to mess with the election. Moscow Mitch buried it. One of the candidates was predicting that the election was going to be ‘rigged’ in some way.' There was "...concern that by making the statement we might, in and of itself, be challenging the integrity of the election process itself." And... This is gibberish If you want a discussion, get your thoughts together.

Umm... charts show history (what has happened), trends (what has been happening), and possibly predictions for the future. For example: Here's a chart verifying that climate change is a hoax by China: Here's a chart verifying climate change is real: So, how do we know the CO2 levels from 800,000 years ago? Find a place on earth that's been frozen for millions of years. Using a coring drill, drill deep down into the ice Place the core in a sealed chamber Measuring the size and density of the air bubbles trapped in the ice determine the approximate age of that section of the ice core. The air inside that bubble shows the atmospheric conditions (oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide...) ten-of-thousands of years ago The core may contain volcanic ash, dust, soot, plant pollen... etc.

The Stock Market history lesson What the Right Believes - Trump saves the world What happened before Trump saved the world - Hmm... looks like it started climbing when Obama took office.

If you want to have a real discussion, that's great. If you simply want to puke out the opinions of Right-wing millionaires, I'm not interested. So, if you want to have a discussion, I suggest we: Use a list A numbered list makes it easy to reply to a specific item A list requires organizing a person's thoughts Short lists are easier focus on specific views - a rifle vs. a shotgun. Limit your list to a few items - four is probably the most. It seems like more than that take a lot of time Use more than words - "A picture is worth a thousand words". Words are okay if you want to quote facts: Example: "Mexico will pay for the wall" "I won't have time for twitter" "I won't have time for golf" "Now, I have to tell you, it's an unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew health care could be so complicated. Who knew healthcare would be complicated?" While pictures can be edited, some are too real to be fake: "I never did that" These are my thoughts on a discussion. I'm not interested in a pissing contest.

What concerns me is not what you're saying, it's that you believe it. "I saw this morning where the demoncrats want to impeach trump for assassinating the leader of isis" Come on... you're smarter than that. "Trump could cure cancer tomorrow and the Dems would blast him for putting millions in the healthcare industry out of work" Just like L. Ron Hubbard, cult leaders depend on blind followers "Same money-spoiled children of privilege blew $25,000,000.00 taxpayer dollars on that unfounded Mueller investigation to play politics" It would be interesting to hear your view about the Mueller report if you replaced every reference to the word, "Trump", with "Obama". Just an idea "Like I said we need to impeach the impeachers" Again, replace the word, "Trump", with, "Obama".
