10 4 0n the 6; for me prostate cancer made that a short subject .

a driver side picture would have been great. many sleepers back then did NOT have access from cab. another reason they were called coffin sleepers. driver side many times had the one long door to climb in. sleeping across seats did prove not much different.

just another reason I strongly dislike living in Ct , my 7th grade English teacher looked like ole purple head and was an Ex marine, never had a teacher that looked even close to the shopper at winfall market. but to quote Martim Luther " I had a dream (or two).

#6/10 is the style I had in my road call service box. noticed on the what's called E9 the screw in threads are different.

bet you wish you still had the flat back '87 U , I favor the Brockway with "Brockway" cab. Guyott oil in CT had a number of Brockway tractors . 671 ????

IF I WASN'T MARRIED I WOULD DRIVE DOWN PICK YOU UP AND PAY FOR HALF THE TRUCK !!!!! it's that darn IF word

notice the northwest is all cable machine. that's a skill long gone . once worked for an ole timer having a cable bay city shovel. sitting in front of the unenclosed engine; feet/ hands going faster then imaginable ! one wrong lever or pedal move and cable all over, that drag line operator definitely has his act together. driving down hill with boom out front !!! there's a pair of balls.

I found a picture of Casey's huge Mack prime mover when it was at the English town truck races back in the '80's. some day I hope to figure this picture loading business.

so you were keeping it a secret having a second steel nose DM . know it's not the same unit! LOL. triaxle/ no fender guides. question ?? does the steel nose tractor have green or brown (with wrap around dash) interior ??

CT had 1-2 inches of snow yesterday; then through out the night with another 3=6 later this afternoon till morning. my John Deere 318 sitting at old residence apart. darn gas engines any how.

Mother Nature isn't my concern ; the heart Dr is. be a heck of a note if I go and shovel . and He's right .

certain injector removal for tune up reasons the pry bar method wasn't always convenient : #4=5 in U's/DM's /some B's. loosen hold downs just a tad ; flip the key or hit the button. don't be scared LOL ever hear an engine that had a spark plug fall out when running. at least with the injector having hold downs secure it = no flying parts.

mixed bag of precep in CT. depends on location. I used the leave blower to clean 1 1/2 in snow on 20x 40 driveway. not enough for snowblower and due to certain circumstances ; I don't shovel snow any more.

ripped threads out of return nut ?? puller doesn't (or didn't) fasten to small 3/8th return line fitting. older style the barrel cap ( which return fitting screwed into) is removed ; puller threads on to injector = 3/4 ??? fine thread. pry bar rock back forth was used many times. if you are daring ;LOL loosen the two hold down nuts = do not remove completely!! spin engine over = but stand back!!! realize on an engine on stand or not running this method not possible,, but it works. don't forget the brass washer at bottom. larger flat screwdriver usually did the trick of removal. never did much "send them out" back in the day. Mack had the parts and the tester to build/ set up injectors.

sad part is no one questions the statement "a deal has been reached " ; the deal is billions of dollars pocketed by those making deals. typical Monty Hall "let's make a deal " otherwise known as What's in it for Me!!

take three 5/8th flat washers , braze them together to form a V pattern ; results are one hold down set up will secure two liners. less stuff fumbling around on top of block. DD need the hold-downs ; wet liners.

now if you had a Mack model to build; the "brain wash " TV wouldn't be an option from boredom.

memory correct , the aliment tool for oil squirters is a welding rod (no flux) and square piece of clear plexiglass having circular groove cut in to it size of piston liner; within the grooved circle are two smaller circles. when plexiglass is placed on liner the welding rod should be centered to one of the smaller circles. reason for two smaller circles the squirters are front of piston on some cylinders. back on others. lowering pistons with squirters installed a real P I T A. corner cutting :::: when pistons in ; install the oilers then put welding rod in check aim. not rocket science as they say.

might find it easier to take right size pipe ; cut in half or what ever depending on desired look then weld into channel ; weld/ grind to appear as one piece. have time and patience; weld the pipe to back side of channel THEN slice top channel , bend around the pipe. will have one bent form on front with welding/ grinding on top/ bottom flange. looks excellent as is also.

alignment tool ??? when in doubt , take a welding rod with flux removed and place in the end of squirter to get a visual idea of squirt location. should be under piston , lubing wrist pin on down stroke.

liquid glue much better ; less mess . black interior !!!! LOL no no:: green or brown depending on year you want it to be representing. Old style dash ---- green ,LOL

is that the teddy Tietz from woodbury area ?? didn't know he ran tractors of that vintage, nice truck.

had to be early '70's ; rules/regs changed for more state income. short wheel based 10 wheelers were getting third axles with baby wheels shoved between front tandem and battery box/ fuel tanks, side by side battery boxes were jammed one on top of each other to make room.

couple good pictures of the truck on Auctionzip . narrow the search with selection of : new england states.

other states (most) are much larger the CT carry more -go further. ct you can't turn a pick up truck around ; I know yes you can. here it's all about more revenue for state.
