That's a lot of weight perched behind the cab on the mixer truck. And it looks like it's got 22.5 tires. Doesn't look like it can hold more than 6 yards. Great looking trucks though, owner takes pride in his business. Out my way I only ever see front discharge mixers. Only a couple rear discharges in the area that I know of, and they're only used because they're equipped with a conveyor.

Would be nice if you could test drive a comparable 2016 econdyne 505...

Don't remember how exactly they're put together, but oil cooler gaskets and o rings should be readily available and easy to change. Might need to to change the rubber drain tube out the bottom of the centrifilter, it may be hardened with age. If the oil cooler isn't leaking I wouldn't touch it. I forget if the oil filter housing is attached to the oil cooler or just to the block.

Don't see anything helpful on that link. Does your truck feel like it follows the econdyne torque curve? Does the maxidyne torque curve look better for your application? If so, is that change in torque curve worth $3000?

My dad has always had to split our headlight switch up on our trucks. Headlights and turn signal clearance lights on one switch, cab roof lights another switch, and rear lights a third switch.

My 95 e7 350 if I don't use the engine brake while the engine is cool it won't work when it's at temp. Below 170 degrees both heads work. Above that they only work if I used them a lot before getting to 180. If I didn't use them at all, only one head works at all, and it cuts out and stops working at about 1500rpms. Solve that e7 engine brake problem. Dash switch says Jacobs, so I assume it's a Jacobs brake.

I'll have to double check the radiator mounts, but I know it has 2 hood rollers. Air was an option in 1988, but this truck didn't have it. Or it didn't get transferred over when H&K put a new frame in the truck. Square tube/muffler support is a bit rusty, I may just remake the whole bar. It also sits too close to the back of the cab, H&K took a hammer to the back of the cab to keep the diagonal brace from scuffing the cab....

What all did you have to do to convert to air ride cab? I have a 1988 RD I need to convert, rides like a DM right now. Where did you get parts, what'd you spend?

Hydrovac Brake 1962 Mack B85
JoeH replied to 62MackB85FT's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
On pickup trucks, if I replace the line along the frame heading to the rear axle I've found I usually have to pump some fluid through it before hooking it up to the rear axle line, otherwise it holds too much air and doesn't like to bleed for me. Likely because for a while I didn't have all the right tools. Now I have that cup with the tube that hooks to the bleeder valve. That thing is real handy for bleeding brakes. Just don't let brake fluid get on paint, it eats through and destroys paint pretty quick. -
I can see a dozer and a log truck!

That's be a lovely spot for a Regen/derate! -
Interesting. Try a different web browser. Internet Explorer is standard for Windows, but I usually download and use Mozilla Firefox. Different web browsers may interpret and present the web page a little differently, yielding different results.

Maybe this is part of how the top 1% keep the bottom 99% from making money. I'm a capitalist, don't get me wrong, but I prefer to deal with honest people. Don't plan on buying a Volvo or a molvo with this sort of crap going on this long

At bottom or top of web page do you have a drop down box called "theme"? I don't any more, but for a while I could not reply or post topics because it had the wrong theme selected. (Theme changes the visual appearance of the page) Alternatively, I believe you can post pictures by "drag/dropping" the picture file into the text box. Obviously doesn't work on phones, but should work on a PC.

When you click on the reply text box there should be a "click to choose files" link just below the text section, next to a paperclip. Click it and pick the picture you want to upload. It should appear below that link, not in the text box. Modern cell phone cameras take pretty high pixel pictures, too big to upload without first resizing them. Or at least that's the case with my phone. Changing the "aspect ratio" seems to resize it on mine so that I can post it. Not sure where exactly you're hitting a snag in the process!

That is a sharp looking tractor.

Modify the valve covers to act as a hold down clamp. The attached picture is a 1970s Honda cb750 valve cover. The rocker arm holders were prone to failing so the racing community welded and drilled threaded bosses to the valve covers so a bolt could thread through to apply additional holding force on the rocker arm holders. Never seen an MPwhatever in person, let alone with valve covers off. Don't know if the injectors would be compatible with a fix of this sort.

Things like rotors should never be proprietary designs. They should always be generic for exactly this reason.

That's exactly it; off camera are the steps, they're fiberglass. Some are set up that you have to pour up to the underside of the steps, this particular one uses legs under each step that need to be captured by the concrete. All in all it took just 3.5 yards to hit the perimeter and the steps. This pool is 14 ft across, had to get my truck pretty close to the edge of the dirt to reach across. My reach is 18'6" on this truck, and I needed almost every inch of it. Also needed my power divider lock to get up on the dirt as my rear axle bottomed out, taking weight off the intermediate axle.

So who’s the winning bidder?
JoeH replied to 1977vega's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Sharp looking truck, but someone put the rear cross member in upside down... Gonna be annoying to anyone that puts a 5th wheel on it for hobby towing. -
Business end of my 95 rd688s doing business.

How do I flush the radiator and block on this old dog?
JoeH replied to MBro204's question in Mack Truck Q & A
Usually they also have one on the passenger side of the block near the back, near the air compressor. -
My dad has "done" some cast iron welding. They make special cast iron welding rods. Just make sure things are cleaned up nice and follow proper welding techniques.

How come the little one doesn't get a water cannon?
