it should be a 5/16th hex head set screw having a 1/2 in six point nut for lock. -
for those interested; just looked up mack rear power divider, number of videos also vendors selling the parts(not to take away from Watt's) but to show pictures and proper names of the parts.

R model foot brake system
mechohaulic replied to Al and son's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
if the small floor board section is what was being replaced, the treadle valve wouldn't need to be disconnected. just take out the three screws holding pedal to floor section. -
4 main parts to the mack auto lock. 1-cage / attaches to input shaft:2 = wedges(dogs) having two sets =3 = drive coupler /slides input shaft ==4- cone /attaches to output shaft. wedges are between drive coupler and cage. flat steel band on outside of cage keeps wedges from falling out. as input spins faster. the wedges are pushed out going against the cone connecting power to output . it's a brief version with wrong titles to parts; sorry.

Japanese truckmakers in $6bn merger to fight Chinese competition
mechohaulic replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
sadly it's difficult to find ANY product today that hasn't slipped in quality. loading bales of shaving at the farm . even that has gone bad. bales go from 20lbs apiece to 30plus. opened a heavy weight yesterday it was saw dust , not shavings. where's quality control. people have expensive animals /pay high prices for shavings; don't want saw dust. even if it's delivered by a Hino = (saved the topic LOL) -

mechohaulic replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
bought brand new in '93 a Hino FA to replace my '77 F=350 flatbed. after checking American made trucks(ford/chevy etc) which needed 40 acres to turn around ; looked into the foreign cab overs=Hino/UD/Isuzu. Hino cost tad more built much better . had the 4 cyl with exhaust brake, room in cab . installed electric PTO instead of very expensive mechanical one. could turn that truck around in a small circle. would have replaced it with the new style Hino if day came . -

mechohaulic replied to T-Mack1's topic in Air Systems and Brakes
1-flex is there; will be easier to replace with same, 2- the flex braided (? doubt ) or rubber flex ; basically a hyd line (#8)? remember treadle having a rubber (hyd) line ; don't recall which position. 3- won't be seen or change originality. -
