-
I am an independent not liberal or conservative I vote not for party and partisanship but for who will represent the people in my district we have a lot of issues in this area especially after hurricane Helene, only facts matter the alternative facts are just political trash I do not know the Obama comment you talk about I have a Canadian friend now American citizen who came here to go to vietnam as an american army soldier after 4 years in vietnam he moved to the Air force and finished his career as a Cost guard rescue diver it is sad to see what is going on in this administration and the insult to our Canadian allies

Help me identify the engine MH613
D-Day replied to BigMackTruck's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Nice truck ,Your spoke hubs are a Mack thing not only stronger than budd rims but they also let more air flow around the brake drum which is very important, to change them out you would halve to locate some hubs that fit your spindle look for the axle number and check bearing numbers to make sure the hubs will fit there are a lot of variations out there changing out the front axle is also difficult with spring center spacing and steering knuckle offset for the drag link to the pittman arm -

Jake's on a Dynatard engine
D-Day replied to rsqman12's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I have seen a Dynatard removed and replaced with a Jake brake on a four valve engine I did not do that job so I don't know the details. -
That looks like all of the 335 cumins I worked on never seen one with a aftercooler that was the 350 small cam and later
-
I found a 5000 and never thought about it but it is interesting the cab is all fiberglass just got it for the 220 Cummins parts

A friend sent me this picture from South Bend Washington I lived there when I was a kid it appears to be an E model Mack the writing at the bottom says it’s 100 feet long my father in law cut timber for years and he cut a couple trees for building keels in ships and they hauled them this way

This flywheel housing measures 5 7/8 for over all depth and the triplex here the bell housing measures about 8 1/4 also the input shaft protrusion is 3 and 1/2 inches beyond the bell housing you can also see how far the flywheel is protruding
-
I have always thought the flywheel housing depth was the same it was the bell housing and input shaft that changed in dimension for single or double plate clutch but I can measure it there are a couple of old 13 speed road rangers here small size with air actuated clutch brake they had a little push button on the shifter the bell housing and input shaft is where it gets tricky to locate the right input shaft length and bell housing depth with Mack side mounts
-
I have one I think it's on a 711 not sure it's the same but it did have a twin disc push type clutch and the starter is on the right, I am quite a good distance from NE Ohio in western NC

Not quite 45 years ago but this is from 35years ago my 49 Willy’s pickup is still my favorite repowered with a 327 and 4 speed it was a lot of fun

Mack r600
D-Day replied to Nick mack rd686s's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
It was common in the 70's and 80's in Washinton state Idaho and Canada to find trucks with an extra gearbox generally a 3 or 4 speed auxillary added for working in the mountains usually made by Brownlipe before Spicer took over they were called a Brownie by the truck drivers -
My favorite vintage plate could be Italian or maybe Swedish but I think Italian I love it it was everywhere in the late seventies early eighties I have not seen one in a long time found this one at a friend’s shop a couple months ago perfect for an Italian Mack
