    a 2X4 cut to length goes under the yoke flange to ground. want to be fancy, two wood screws in the 2X4 with short bungee cord over the yoke hooked to the two screws. keeps it in place eliminates the backlash on drive train. cheap tool and it's reversable when install time. just move it to other side of yoke to take the backlash. lucky enough the same 2X4 works as a clutch pedal hold down when adjusting a clutch.

    thanks for the pictures!! didn't know how I was going to spend hrs with outside temp -4 degrees this am sitting inside . good to see the the topic "other foreign brands " had Macks leading the way; any picture with a Mack B-81 is a great picture.

    now you see the reason I drive 25 miles(each way) to the farm and help out. she's retired also. easy answer when asked :"how did you two stay together for 20 plus yrs" ==== never saw each other much!!!LOL

    might find it easier to gently remove the two shift levers. will depend on what glue you are using also.

    Now I don't complain about "mine" ;; more like expressing a thought.!!!LOL

    It's never tooo late ; they make plenty of models of the Mack. buy one for the Mrs. might give her a better understanding of the skill AND quite needed to built one.

    prepping for the east coast blizzard of the '70's(78?) I mounted a V plow like that to a road grader owned by Schiavi Const.. put as many roof lights as possible. chains on all wheels. grader went one direction; loader one; and the TD-20 dozer down the road. neither came back for 3-4 days. no cell phones then. service truck with fuel followed the open roads to locate machines.

    whether it's a big rig or a scale model ; the builder knows what it takes to build. build a real engine ; no one sees the pistons. the mechanic knows what's inside. point is the interior of a scale model needs the same integrity to build. getter done !! fun part of model modification is looking at it after built the builder knows of the frame stretched or engine changed ; my 352? pete from the 70's took 7 different models to build. or how air bags are made from alr cleaners taken from car models. keep it fun

    can't recall anyone having a steel nose R Scania powered ; must be a municipality unit looking at driver's door insignia. the picture could be CT today ; LOL

  17. mechohaulic
    Albert Bros; scrap yard company _ still in existence today had a few R-400's some Scania others the Chrysler V-8. like most of new England Mack fleets ; Albert's now has the "other" brands.

    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.
