    once again never too old to learn new. have installed jakes; even trip to factory here in CT yrs ago when they were made here. question JOJO ; the braided line, is that how units are oil fed today;; no more o-ring fitting coming from underside?

    quite surprised this week end watched some of the mecum auto auctions, seem to me prices were low/reasonable. could also be a bad sign of the times. a $200K bentley ??when new sold this weekend for 30K. I'm a "66 shelby GT-350 (blue with white 10in stripes) man myself. by '67-68 they started with the slopey nose

    like I've said before;; for my little grandkids I feel sad for; they didn't do anything wrong. I can't stand seeing signs "black lives matter" ALL lives matter , pull your own weight and work for what you have and i don't give two sh-ts your color.

    never did the oven cleaner, imagine it's trial and error depending on how much / thick letters etc are. first trip cleaning doesn't do 100% , a second soaking safe? how close to the 20 mins +-

    now why would biden have to do different then most before him,,, did you forget we put the money in his paycheck;; LOL . as ALWAYS the working man gets screwed.

    of course that combo a big deal in good ole USA. we all know our friends "down under" that 4x2x4x2 is an every day work ride. i'd vacation in Australia just to see , maybe ride in a combo like that. another favorite on u-tube oversize loads.

    not much a twin stack dump truck person, i would take that KW as a 4 axle HD lowbed tractor. growing up on B-81 dumps, never "understood "twin stacks on a dump. now a 4 axle high horse power tractor hooked to 2 axle jeep connecting to a 4 axle lowbed maybe a 2 axle stinger!! got my vote. don't worry wife looks at me with that expression too.. LOL

    I don't have a MAJOR problem with helping the refugees from the mess over russia/Ukraine; coming over here. it's the middle man making $$$$$$$ at their expense. when news talks about a boat made for 20-30 people has 60-80 being smuggled in this country sinks, the smugglers made their blood money. it be great if this country started taking care of their own first also,

    too bad your not closer to CT ,we just had 16 turkeys ( the flying kind; not white house occupants) walking in the yard. usually 12-13 not 16. 5 males look ready for dinner table. LOL

    what they ; (higher up brass ) not only want someone to generate repairs for profit, they want someone who knows how to get on their knees and kiss a--. and be a good bullsh--er to the public.

    grab the SS as fast as possible. the border walls down and "they " are coming over by the thousands ; your S S money will go to "them"first. WHY??

    no association to me ; just passing info. once again JOSEPH EQUIPT in NH has a few more macks for sale. '58 B87 has the reversed trans discussed in another topic while back. main close to driver aux to rt. '65 -B81; 62-B75 and others.

    863 replies to this post !! that in its self is something to have pride in.

    can look at it this way;; "has been quite the journey thus far". astronauts go for a journey - all they do is ride around the earth a few times, come back and are forgotten, your journey not only has given you a project of pride but has been an inspiration to many: myself included. you step out the door and still see your journey sitting in the driveway or even better at a truck show with so many people in awe staring at it. tried to up load my B73/75 L cab (1/25th scale) ; won't work.

    do you have any maintenance records with it, when /if the PS filter and fluid were changed? when you turned the adjusting screw was the box in center position? the adjusting screw on side with a screwdriver slot should be for adjusting backlash on rack and pinion in the box. have seen fluid change/filter make a big difference . i'm assuming the play is when unit is running.
  17. mechohaulic
    any picture or name of the box;; sheppard . TRW,??

    as it has been said;"Rome wasn't built in a day". the truck sure looks a lot better then Rome .

    changes would depend on whether we got a glimpse of option #2 on life.i'd change a couple of things for the "better"not for financial gain or materialistic stuff.

    rough farm life for a kid is an under statement. being 3rd generation trying to keep grandparents farm going i heard unbelievable stories of life on the farm. in the day anyone could go to the hardware store and buy dynamite (try todays world).one uncle lost 2-3 finger tips from blast that went wrong. dynomite was used to clear the fields of rocks/stumps. dairy cows didn't take a day off either..

    "braindead in no time")??? your not going to run for pres of USA now that you feel qualified are you???LOL

    another sign of "things change"; not for the positive; how sad. new ownership came in to waterbury mack they went through a number of "service managers" in a short time. not many knew the job just position fillers. one manager was known for asking your opinion regards a road call .what do you think?;; your paid to think not me , i have work clothes not a white shirt was my thoughts. one of the reasons i left.

    that air-o-matic might have helped in the steering ; sure was a pain-in-the-ass to keep running 100%. tie rod cylinder wore out inside or gummed up, 6 bolts would loosen , cyl tipped ,would steer one way better then other,; spot weld corrected some. control valve welded on drag link screwed up alot. when it worked glad it was there; other then that!

    they don't plug in the laptop and tell you what's wrong;; they can't tell you what's wrong cause they don't know. they can only tell you what the computer tells them is wrong. give one "the test" after they "tell you what's wrong ;; ask= what does that mean ?;; duh i don'tknow .. LOL I know it doesn't apply to all . heck of alot.,

    comical the way professions are related to a person life. after the heart surgeon went through his technical explanation of my open heart surgery , i looked at him and said" so your putting in a piece of heater hose."LOL years ago i finished painting the trim on a house; paint was red my pants were light colored. my Grandmother saw the pants which looked like blood splattered. She started rattling off in Polish trying to see where the "blood" was coming from. such a sweet Lady.😄
