    in '69 the truck vin number didn't spec the engine totally. ENDT673C shouldn't have been part of a vin. may have been on a bill of sale/ title; don't remember eng model on truck vin. the engine would determine the model number on registration such as a R-685==maxi or R611==thermodyne. in the picture posted not seeing a turbo. looks Natural aspirated. why does vin say ENDT673C?

    nice set up on the "wagon" also ,, push on or is it drivable onto trailer ? hope total height was measured.

    there's a big difference in having "toys" and letting someone else do the repairs while a person sits back at the shows bragging of his toys which he has no mechanical ability to fix . and someone having the "toys" and the willingness to do the repairs but has a greater common sense to know older age or set back makes it impractical to attempt repairs. dismounting/ mounting tires at an "experienced" age isn't best for anyone, stick with changing light bulbs.

    look close you can see the difference in the R611ST and R607T picture vs the R611T. R 611T has the new style mack letters for emblem . other two have the original one plate emblem on the front of hood for Mack.

    It took going back 18 pages to investigate . conclusion :: I'm NOT taking the hit for off topic on this one. well maybe not 100%. LOL pulling injectors (original topic) went to engine removal (not me) , to safe engine lifting.to how built at factory. can we use our Mack coins to enter the bar for a drink. now I feel better for off topic, LOL🤣

    I wouldn't think twice about draining system completely and start all new fuel. cost of the new fuel has to be way lower then tow charge when it quits running on highway. which you would be buying all new fuel after anyhow. have to;; use a 5 gallon can strapped to fender with line to eng to run unit. crud in filter housing indicates the tank condition sometimes ..

    couldn't/wouldn't want to remember the dismount/mount tire project of the last xxxxx yrs. unfortunately my back reminds me EVERY morning, without actual count.ratchet straps/ either/ gas all been done. final summary;;let someone else do them . young and stupid== "don't need a crane to pickup that payloader tire I can do it . !!! say it so many times here:: you youngsters wear a back brace , use gloves and hearing cover.

    I questioned that a number of times. seems a lot of "activity" in the '17==='19 times. must have been used as a dating/ hook up site ???? then there are also truck related members apparently left due to a situation . bet there was a wealth of knowledge with them.
  13. mechohaulic
    somewhere I have a picture posted of ole number 1 =R607T 1001. has been rebuilt a few times but still in excellent condition. can notice differences in it versus "newer" R's. still has basically the B model radiator set up. has an electrical situation I was suppose to look at long while back. haven't got there yet. owner one heck of a great person. NO it's NOT for sale. Mack tried yrs ago to buy it back.
  14. mechohaulic
    are you trying to make me feel old??LOL .I drove those in the brochure when they were brand new. LMAO🤣.
  15. mechohaulic
    I had a international 260A excellent machine one and only problem the rear boom hyd also. turn table known for loss of power.
  16. mechohaulic
    same company that bought the R611T with RR also has the first R607T 1001 today. the 611 long gone but ole Number one R still there. R611 was replaced by Mack twin-screw ; don't remember transmission .wasn't 5speed possibly 12 speed. that was replaced by superliner. i see off topic happening ;; sorry.
  17. mechohaulic
    can almost have a sick stomach looking at those brochures. when Mack was bought out by another branch a janitor had a large ; (large to point couldn't pick it up had to drag on ground) almost full of the truck brochures. I picked out quite a few=not enough . rest thrown away. $10-20 on ebay today. who would have known.
  18. mechohaulic
    remember there was some that had a short center bracket that bolted to radiator bolts with two bolts for reenforcing shutter frame. just don't recall exact model.
  19. mechohaulic
    hopefully Matt ( or some one ) will log on having the answer. able to raise 3/8 in doesn't sound like a center brace is holding it
  20. mechohaulic
    35 going on 36 ;; your catching up to us ole folk. LOL
  21. mechohaulic
    based on alum battery covers/ step ,other give aways; looks to be steel frame rails, possibly that's a RS 700 western??
  22. mechohaulic
    twin stick duplex would also be a R611 designation . set up a new '69 R611T for customer while at Mack ;it was a 13 speed road ranger. simple vins (and times) then .
  23. mechohaulic
    now this is a post that will attract a lot of attention. many here will be looking for picture up dates I'm sure. all the ideas follow through that will make one fine looking tractor.
  24. mechohaulic
    birthday best to YOU Sir😄
  25. mechohaulic
    3/8th out:: is the shutters frame work hanging on the lower radiator tank bolts and needs to be raised up at an angle ?? can't remember which model has the short angle bracket in the center. Matt will have the answer I'm sure.
