10 teeth....

I too expect the bolt pattern to be the same, I thing the tooth count was 9, but not sure... im going to my shop right now to count it..

G.W. your effort to post the info is amazing.. I just wish I was actively working on my KB.. I have a full time job, and a house to maintain, and i have 2 engines in my shop that I have been pickin' at.. My KB is taking a back seat right now.. God Bless you for all that You bring to us and Me... Jojo

I need one of those suits,,, like Yesterday !!!

G.W. Thank you so much... I have a picture of the starter tag..

No sir Mr. Paul.. He (the chicken) was the victim of my local grocer..

As Electric Vehicles are being pushed down our throats, I was wishing I was a wealthy car manufacturer.. I would build an E.V. with a Battery that is easy to replace, then I would try to encourage other E.V. makers to do the same, with the same style/ shape/ and wired, battery, .. Then I would propose to have battery shops like gas stations. You would pull in, get a battery change and leave your battery to be re-charged right there at the battery station.. no different then exchanging the bottle for your gas grill. I know that safe storage is an issue, but, they can be out doors in charging vaults, just in case one goes up in flames. I know this will help E.V. owners go further in the car, as well as convenient.. anyway, just some silly thinking by me... Jojo

I think it is great!! All Around !!

You wont find it... I tried and wrote a post about it.. Just go and donate $25.00 to BMT, and it will be fixed.. Small price to pay, for all that they provide for us here.. Use Pay-pal.. jojo

I agree with you Mark, I was just hoping to give some insentive for higher learning.. I too have worked my a$$ off to get the bare minimums at times.. I guess my wishful thinking is that we could produce some more smart people instead of system suckers.. Free rides only produces D-Bag's... I cant post my true feelings, because I dont want to ruin my good reputation here.. jojo

Enjoy the BBQ... I did a few chores.. after sweating my butt off, I fixed an adult beverage, lit the smoker, and dipped in the pool.. I think the chicken looks more relaxed than I was... hope you have a great weekend Bob... Jojo

With the Ut-Most respect of course...... 🍻

93, and humid.. I was in the pool for a good bit... of course I was smokin' some meaty goodness as well,,,

Instead of giving college loan refunds or amnesty... how about tell students that they can EARN a financial relief... GPA of 3.5, 10% discount, 3.75 GPA 15% discount, 4.0 GPA 25% discount.. This will give students a goal, and if they meet the goal, then the country wins!! we will have smarter graduates entering the workforce rather than, affirmative action kids with lower educations. Regardless of SKIN COLOR...... Jojo

Well... cant post a picture,, anyway.. it was yummy..

I tried something new today... Smoked a chicken.. It took 3 1/2 hrs at 250 ish.. I was tender and just like a rotisserie chicken.. But... with a smokey flavor..

15/W40 oil in older steering gears.. newer TRW's were ATF, or something lighter.. yours, Bob is considered OLD... Not you of course,<<

What a rush!!! I know the feeling... I'm very happy for you !!! Jojo

688's were 350's... 690's were 300's.. so how about some pictures?? I bet there is 20+ of us that want to see 'em... I know Bob does !!

the 688S should be a 350 engine.. I bet 44K suspension,,, if the shift knob has a red splitter on the left side, its a 13 spd,,, gray button, 18 spd..

Well there you go.. Nice repair.. I have no real Knowledge of Meritor tranny's in Mack's.. Only seen a few.. It's great that you got it fixed..

You Are Kicking A$$ !!!

I use ''Overdrive Rebuilders'' in my area..

Buddy,,, I have had to rebuild a handful of engine components because someone glued a bolt head to the part to make it look like it was fixed,, I had to re-build a recently re-built engine, because someone stripped 7 sets of threads out of the block, and filled the holes with red locktite.. yeah right??? that will hold tight with 205lbft of torque on each head bolt.. anyway, been there fixed that... ( I had a good block to replace the crappy one) .... The truck is truck #476 at Hanes Construction in Lexington N.C.. CH-613.. It is still in service..

to me that 5th wheel looks good.. Yep, i would clean the top plate and look for cracks,, (non that i can see) and i dont see where the outer edges are worn out-rounded, like some brick hauler 5th wheels I have replaced, and so-on.. Like GW said, just keep track of the assembly . is the pin yoke clean and smooth without a wear mark? The trigger needs some love but, just based on these pictures, I believe, especially with your skill set, you will do a fine job.. I almost think the springs are the same ones in todays repair kit.. I like this posting.. I have re-built quite a few of these, mostly Fontains, and Jost, (kinda the same), but this Holland looks pretty easy to understand.. I expect that where the bolts go through, there is a bushing, to take the stress and wear.. Hell,,,, You got this Vlad.. I expect the bolts to have SAE threads,, 1/2''x13 threads.. Jojo
