    1- thanks for the under chassis pictures for us model builders LOL. #2= maybe it's the mud cover ; I can't make out the brand of truck= one pic the front looks to be Mack, fenders/ rest don't. 3--any up date pictures of unit out of mud ??

    don't know where location is but I like it . my theory is if you can see neighbors house they're tooo close . wouldn't want to call road service .

    seems I paid more attention working at Mack then in High school : obviously still not enough . still learning .

    have been studying the pictures for a while , still don't understand how it happened;; NO major dirt disruption before roll over. one question being ::: this unit is a left hand drive ? must be if driver seat buried ! traffic may have covered the truck tire tread as it crossed the road. super HD 349/ D8 should do the job, hopefully without more major damage. be interesting to watch the removal.

    another positive for the B models;; shift pattern tags were metal; sorry couldn't help myself.

    I may be wrong (again) ; the compressor capable of mounting PS pump has a slot in "crankshaft " end to which the PS coupler bolts to? one allen bolt holds coupler to crank? seems I some what remember there is a tiny oil port in crank/ coupler combo; ?? PS pump shaft 5/8-3/4 splined.

    another example of "cost cutting" seems. :: like buying box of brake shoes and hardware kits are separate. now your saying the oil filter -luberfiner doesn't come with an o-ring.. possibly due to fact the one filter has a number of applications having different canisters ===I hope .!

    news today most of the Clydesdale events cancelled due to strong protest. do you think the he/she will get paid still; or the bonus checks to bud CEO's. == of course both will. sad. anheuser will write off the losses on taxes any how . poor stockholders trying to make a couple bucks will be the ones loosing.

    my honey dew list always has same come back answer!== yep it's on the list ; working on getting to it. I receive the same look of disgust and she walks away. another moment of silence comes in the morning while having coffee; "what are you doing today"? my reply = having coffee.

    If it was considered an honor /respected to be a sports star ' actor or whatever and have your picture on a box of cereal years back , why has it become degrading based on color to be on a product= rice/ syrup / butter?? common sense lost .

    It's not that they have spare time ; difference is most of us are more intelligent with the ability to use the time we have in better/ productive ways. resulting in less time .

    in most all aspects Mack did a great job building a complete truck; from small to large. might be the buy outs/take overs changed things . not for positive,
  16. mechohaulic
    sure miss the land O lakes butter box. fun folding just right to create great picture.
  17. mechohaulic
    was never that difficult in a B model . speedo dont work broken cable. so challenging for an ole man to believe technology is a positive . mechanically speaking of course.

    there are many ways to restore the 5th wheel. depends on the extent of restoration and $$$$ willing to spend. wheels off and parts available ;; do a rebuild. far as the tag carefully remove it so blaster can get behind the tag. otherwise rust/scale behind it. permanent install can be accomplished by ALL the methods suggested.
  19. mechohaulic
    I find myself in that situation;; I want total verification before any physical contact. surgery hides ole adam. crocodile dundee did it the right way . one hand quick search, end up with handful next hand does the punching.

    glad I stopped beer drinking years ago. hope they don't screw up Jack Daniels bottles
  21. mechohaulic
    hope you have a steady hand to repaint the black letters and border on the fontaine tag. not too shiny on the alum. it's an ident tag not hood emblem

    comical how these big companies try to jump on the band wagon for popularity and sales disregarding majority feelings. and it backfires. for a transgender in sports =I'm totally against. someone wants to chance going in opposite bathroom :: brave or real dumb. walking through parking lot while back, I says to wife"see the blonde that just passed"? yea why ?? I said she had a bigger bulge in her pants then me ! LOL
  23. mechohaulic
    don't understand how it became a top head liner. bathrooms/ sports / beer cans? the parts you are BORN with should be the determining factor which bathroom/ sports you connect with.

    Sorry to hear of the loss of Your Grandpa. think it's one of many articles Mack marketed. I have a Mack small mirror with handle and a few other items .many things I gave away. had large selection of Bulldog hat pins .going through boxes weeks ago found huge Mack belt buckle.

    NOT ME !!! LoL sled pulling big rigs / old farm tractors are the best. not so much the million dollar "farm tractors" with 4-5 engines. the ole farmer taking time from the fields, to compete with other farmers. classic cars drag racing was a way out for the hero service men and women of our country to relive stress.
