also there is a web site for truck model building .the tires in the DM 800 kit for me are tooo small. don't think anyone is continuing resin truck kits . best bet the model truck builder site -
I've been model building since the '60's. Dave has sadly passed away. for your RD use the DM800 kit ; modify the cab mounting. I have two DM800's in build process now. I also have a HD hayes frame rail chassis from AIM ; late Jim Etter which would work for a large car Mack . saving it for off high-way brute.

Rear passenger axle locking when braking
mechohaulic replied to MACK321's topic in Air Systems and Brakes
been at the "shop" for almost a week ; for his sake hope it's not a guessing game changing parts till it works .$$$$$$ -
I too watch the elders to try and avoid things: the mental / physical operations change automatically. today is My Fathers birthday would have been 99; left us in "97. often wonder how the age factor would have effected him today. GOING OFF TOPIC

YES Sir it was/is a puff LIMITER . didn't kill all smoke just slowed it down
-
don't do any smoking so I eliminated the puffing (back on topic???) just keep screwing up . wife will verify that statement,
-

H Model Restoration
mechohaulic replied to h67st's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
glass is so clean and clear i can even see the brockway out in the yard. that steel nose on the brockways to me was always impressive looking. darn great choice of blue on the Mack also. -
B-73 Restoration
mechohaulic replied to mattb73lt's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
If Mr. Rockwell suggested the place they "must have been good once" like many operations today ; place is still there , personal inside changed along with attitudes and interest. times change and none of the changes seem for the better anymore. -
a little paint and polish the ole Mack ready to go ??? LOL
-
could be one of those things which will never amount to anything; but has more of a mental strain on you ;;, always wondering driving down the road. if not being done at present time , possibly oil sampling if there is availability . helps monitor internals.
-
no DD but one fine lookin show piece. got caught up in listening to the earlier post of the single cyl DD running. what a sound (especially compared to the bellering sound the wife makes )LOL
-
expanded picture large as possible , tough call. based on smooth sides a liner piece would be in top five possibilities. any other contaminates in oil. this is a situation why i always use a clean drain pan when oil changing. let old oil set a while then run a magnet through see what fine particles show up. oil analysis might help. how was engine running ?? noise/pressure etc

now don't knock the sweater puppy;; my '77 F-350 had a silver bulldog mounted on custom modified base. each winter the bulldog got a red/white (Polish colors) sweater to wear ,,LOL
-
not always quantity but quality . like having a giant snap-on toolbox full of tools with no idea how to use them ( keeping this family friendly ). based on personal experience have delt with a handful and more then a handful. oh the good times :: much younger 😄

Electrical Problem and Starting Problem
mechohaulic replied to Richardsmack's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
sharp looking unit; shouldn't have been any doubt in your mind in terms of making the trip ;; a Mack was doing the moving .. -
is that a "sign" the synchros go that often a book/ manual had to be printed to show how ??? did a lot of rear synchros for RR's don't remember a manual printed. I know the maxi three-counter shaft set up is a rebuild challenge no matter how it's done.
-
it's definitely different. took some engineering; possibly awkward looking to low to ground vs wide . can't see what back has. change of color might improve looks.
-
had to scroll back to top checking what actual topic started as; LOL : wife (#2) has this thing of always wearing black , guess it's a dominant color. question came up once regarding the constant black clothes if I minded it . my reply :: wear black all you want ; no shortage of females walking around to look at not wearing black. that's how I do it ::: is what it is. now (Late ) wife #1 was a different story ;while in a hooters in FL I bought a tee shirt / was found and NOT appreciated. LOL

AMEN on the D's
-
can't understand why I got in trouble in school with grades that were C's or D's; the pretty lady in the middle had double DD"s .bet no one is complaining to her .
-
HONEST VOTE !!! come on JoJo ; are you doing your version of Red Skelton and telling jokes !!LMAO>😁
-
hoping this topic of house mover is tied into tv 😇; with that and the Red Skelton add , if you never heard Red's version of "THE PLEDGE of ALLIGENCE " . oh yea. check it out. last line makes you think. Red recorded it back in 1994.

Rear passenger axle locking when braking
mechohaulic replied to MACK321's topic in Air Systems and Brakes
never had that problem either when the hardware came in same box as shoes. every where you look things are being broke down more and more. one day if you go to get something to eat , the fork and knife will cost extra. I don't buy anything without opening a box to inspect item that is suppose to be inside.
