Dump, Mixer, Mining..?

On the firewall behind the rear head..

yep,, Brocky, thanks for reminding me.. they were built offset so that Dump/Mixer driver could see better when backing up. Which was quite a bit of there driving..

I bet they were Mark, the ones I drove were quite stout.. of course they were '78 and '79 models... E-6, twin stick, I really like the X-107 transmission.. way better than the replacement 2070...

I dont know all the in's+out's, but the U's I saw were short nosed and short framed, and set up as tractors.. But I have probably only seen a dozen or so U's.. I drove a small bunch of DM's. They were all tri axle dump trucks.. Thats all I got..

I was able to stomach a few minutes of ''Cornpop'' pandering to Black Men at a couple Black Colleges,, (H.B.C.U.) Whitey don't have those...,, anyway, I was proud to see how many students turned their backs, or just sat there will a mad look on their faces.. I hope ''Sleepy'' keeps going to H.B.C.U.'s.. He seem's to be helping those of us that love America... I would love to see Black folk's come to their senses and see which Party really cares about their success, and ability to acheive on their own..

Hey Mech,,,, Our small city is always looking for good 'Refuse Tranport Specialists'',,, just sayin'

R.S,,, I can say that this group of guys is always ready to help. As far as the old parts, I would keep them, even if they are obsolite. You may be able to help someone out because you have the part. As far as old tools... I have a bunch of old tools.. Some were my Grandfathers tools, and some ( that I still use) were tools that my Mentor gave me or showed me how to make and use, and recently aquired some tools from a friend, that are still in boxes, and I know where they are when I need them. My pride for what I have learned about Mack trucks, and other trucks, as well as the people who helped me, are the reasons why I will never get rid of them, until my days are numbered and I can pass them on.. I always believed that what we do as truckers and truck mechanics is a brotherhood. We need each other.. best of luck with the Old Girl, she'll be up and running soon.

I think its .008''- .010'' end play. but FJH made it easier to do.

the injection pump goes to full throttle if it is not hooked up to the linkage. can you pull the linkage back and let it low idle..

I'm proud of you Bob. Glad to see you are working on the DM.. jojo

Well a Boy can Dream...

Amen !!

Hell Mech.... When I see a good lookin' woman that might be your age, I'm impressed. Kinda like a nice lookin' old mack Truck.. ''Hot!''

PAI is really good at putting optional parts in their kits..

thats the old lead seal, did the kit have the metal cased rubber seal?

I thought FIC was fuel injection control, and he that he had a fully mechanical injection pump

If the valve was adjusted against a bent pushrod. Im grabbing at straws.

Hmm? I think i need to check my knowledge. Looks like im wrong. Sorry bud.

well, right now I'm on Potato Juice.. see's to do pretty good..

yeah fuel miss... that's it !!

off topic?? who?? us ?? Never... 'F' a bunch of bad joints !! Uhhh what is this thread about??

ok, Im drawing a blank..

Red Dot ??

My knees are bone on bone, and left side is f'd up.. I was told I am too young and too heavy to getnew knees, but you need new knees.. gonna try the 3 part shots in the left knee, if ins. approves it.. good luck with your recovery.... My dedication to repairing big trucks broke my body.. I assume you too...
