No start issue...
mechohaulic replied to 67_Rmodel_sta237's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
your statement " the motor spins" ; to be on the same page ; what motor spins ? starter motor spins or the engine motor spins. not trying to be a wise guy ;; just wondering. if the engine spins == different diagnostic area. if starter motor spins and engine isn't i would consider the starter has wrong drive gear. looking at the picture i will say I'm not a fan of the clamp style battery terminals . brand new OK down the road they create problems. -
Jacobs 675 swapping from one engine to another
mechohaulic replied to Full Floater's topic in Engine and Transmission
on the jake swap; the exhaust rocker adjusting screws need to be changed also. mack adjusters are screw driver slots. when a jake is installed no access with screw driver. the adjusters are changed to a 3/8 or 7/16 head ?. i have found if you take a small center punch and punch marks on the valve cover or jake spacer, the rubber gaskets don't slide out and leak. basically the jake is an add on;; the dynatard is built in. -

If you have access to a welder. i would go with a piece of 2 1/2==3 in channel making a set closely resembling the original till a set hopefully can be found. won't be cast but also won't be a bought bracket that looks out of place. just sayin

Ya know it's another case of "live and learn" ;; all the new trucks i prep and worked on. never put 2&2 together with the ST vs S . a twin screw chassis usually long wheel base was an S signifying a straight truck while the typical tractor (twin screw ) had the ST. 50 plus yrs later and the ole Polack is still learning. 😁

I don't feel so bad now about the 59 in vin #. I knew the second/third number reference to engine ;; the 59 wasn't a common # I remember; 607// 685// etc. sure do enjoy the knowledge this forum shares.

the world lost another Code Talker last week. believe there are only 4 still alive. one Uncle was in the battle of the bulge also a P O W. my older brother survived a tour in nam. to this day he has a piece of steel lodged near the main vein to his heart from there. in the day it was too dangerous to operate. I didn't serve either. diagnosed with a bad heart at 12. made it work till 2015. doc said we open you up and replace parts or you don't see2016

there is no place that is the wrong place to say THANK YOU to our VETERANS.. appreciate You bringing attention to Purple Heart day. I had a Purple Heart that was found cleaning out my Grandmother's stuff. IT belonged to one of my Uncles. both of which deserved One. guess it can be said to be fortunate I didn't know which one;; A person receiving the Medal doesn't have their name imprinted on the back if they are still surviving.

ENDT 673 ENGINE FROM 1961
mechohaulic replied to skydawg's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
while working at a Mack dealer early '70's a major construction Co bought 20 brand new DM's . a few had blow by from valve cover vent. wasn't considered a problem. on the other hand, a used truck depending on mileage /hrs ; blow by doesn't always mean a needed engine rebuild. open oil filler cap while it's running; how much blow-by out the cap vs out the vent. -

B-73 Restoration
mechohaulic replied to mattb73lt's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
that's what is called a work of art. no plastic tyraps holding lines etc. all the proper rubber insulated clamps. i'm sure you don't want to sit and total the $$$$$ or man hours when done; but driving down the road or sitting at a show makes it all worth while. -
