    Or Corn Queen

    I sent a e-mail to the fire chief at the Montecito Fire Dept to see if they had any old photos of their past fire engines. Most fire houses keep things like that. So who knows maybe there is some info there too.

    Yeah I read it and I might have a line on one of those manifolds but I have to look at it first.

    About 35 miles from Walla Walla, Wa, that's where I live.

    The whale was kind of freezer burnt actually.

    That would be great if you could find out something about it. Yeah this guy would sell it I believe, I don't think he is that attached to it.

    One strange thing I noticed this morning while looking for the chassis number, you will notice right below the Mack emblem and mounted on the grille is a shiny badge. It says {85}. It's only and 2" tall and 1 1/2" wide.

    I could only find one data plate on that Mack fire truck. It said Mack 85U, Chassis # 85-US-1001. It looks like it was originally used by the Montecito Fire Dept, Montecito, Calif.

    This guy right here has a set for sale. And the Russian and Chinese military likes them too.

    Correct. I have seen two White Western Stars with that same sort of ID plate.

    How many of you saw this truck years ago? It's a 1967 that was used to haul a frozen whale and frozen 400 year old sea bass around to early shopping malls as a side show. I saw it in 1970 in Sacramento, the owner Malone let me set in the drivers seat. If not the first it was one of the first show truck semi's ever built. Inside was all diamond tuck and chrome.

    Those pictures above are a great example of a loose bell to restructure and what happens to the bell. There is no way you can keep alignment when that occurs.

    I knew you would come back with something to say about my post, you always do. But the single cylinder compressors don't run any smoother timed or un-timed. And yes I knew that.

    One item that should be showing wear if the input shaft is out of alignment is the nose dowel on the input shaft. If it has wear every time you clutch it the driving discs will be off center. IMO

    The compressor is not timed on a Cummins, the accessory drive that operates the compressor is timed. If it's not timed the marks on accessory drive pulley will be off for running over heads.

    Transtar 4090 model, I have seen two others through the years.

    The frame is naturally a little rusty but the cab is in fairly good condition. I just got off the phone with the owner, he wants $10,000 for it. Too high in my opinion.

    Another find on yesterday's scouting. It has a 12v71 with SSHD's on 46,000 lb walking beam. A Corn Queen not to mess with in her day.

    No I didn't get a serial number off that fire truck but I will get it. i would like to know how many were built. Truck Shop

    Anyone ever seen a Mack fire truck like this short one? And a 1927 Kenworth C cab and a 1936 REO.

    Oh that's a beautiful Super, with a 7FB Cat and a real power steering pump instead of those crappy TRW aluminum ones that are used today. The kind of truck a fellow doesn't mind working on when he has to.

    The only thing I can add to this is a strange-odd issue I ran across years ago with a similar problem. Had a K100 KW with a Detroit 8V92 that had a clutch changed out by another shop before it landed on our door step. Found the bell housing bolts were bottomed out but the bolts and washers were right up to the flat surface in the bolt pockets on the bell and really no gap. But the bell was moving ever so slightly. Probably not your problem on this issue but thought I would bring it up. Truck Shop
