LET'S GET BACK TO THE SUBJECT?????????HA HA HA HA LOL

And, if I may add my two cents, Paul is one of the very helpful people on the forum. I've got a very varied background of experiences, but diesel engines and the like are not among them. These guys are a real great asset to those of us trying to start out on a new venture. Rusty

Thanks for the help HK!!

OK, what's the procedure for checking that?

That guy should be on Americas Most Wanted.............Equipment Operators!!!!!

Freightrain, thanks for the input, I need all the help I can get. That is kinda what I figured, but I wanted to get some expert advice, so as not to waste too much time. Thanks

Just getting started, well trying to get it started, recently purchased B61, w/ air start. Seems to be very small hole in bottom of starter air tank. Is that normal, was some type of fitting there at one time? (perfectly round, 1/16 dia., looks to be threaded). What is procedure to start this baby up, can you bypass the air start? Has not been running in years. Have flushed fuel system. Any advice appreciated.

Sorry to hear of your trouble Freightrain. Hope everything goes back together smoothly. Old Macks never die, they just get new springs!!

Hey Barry, Enjoy those 3 days off!!, for fun try watching the movie DUEL, if you have it!! Thanks for your help along the way for me getting started!! Stay Safe, Happy 4TH !! rustydog

Hi Paul, I couldn't agree with you more! I know my limitations, and although the temptation is there to jump right in quickly, I try to always weigh all my options. I did speak to Kevin All this morning. Probably planning a trip up to visit his yard; the more I see, the better idea I'll have as to where to spend the first fistfull of greenbacks. I have learned sooo much just reading through areas of this site in just the past few days, and look forward to learning even more as time goes on. Special thanks to you, freighttrain and dave gilmour?, for the recent advice--every word is taken to heart. P.S. other dog--I don,t even have a garage yet, let alone a MIXER !!! thx

thanks for the help terry, I appreciate it. will know more tomerow about this piece.

On my way home from Allentown, Mack Museum, today, found an old B model of sorts, could not really determine if it was B61 or not. Could anyone advise if this single axle was avail w/ flathead 6 cyl.? That is what guy told me when I called. It's in rough shape, rot, rust, glass missing, any ideas on value here? Thanks to all. rustydog
