    I wish my B61 had those hinged front fenders.

    What are they looking to gain from this?
  3. skydawg
    Wow,you`ve done all this in a few days? I`d say you`re a pretty darn good mechanic.

    Ok,I`ll see if the lever isn`t moving it`s full travel.If that valve did close on shutdown,would it help to keep the fuel system primed?I don`t have a manual primer on the supply pump.

    The lever at the pump moves and rotates it`s shaft when I pull the dash knob,just doesn`t stop the engine.I could open the fitting,but it`s not leaking....and it`s cold out.

    Mechohaulic,you`re right...the cable moves a lever at a brass fitting on the IP,but doesn`t shut off fuel.The internals must be broken or removed?The other shutoff cable moves a lever just ahead of the governor at the rear of the pump.

    I have a throttle knob...it works but won`t stay pulled out,I have to hold it in position as the engine warms up. I`ll trace the inoperative PULL TO STOP ENGINE knob cable,if there is one.

    I have two"PULL TO STOP ENGINE" dash knobs.The one next to the ash tray does stop the engine,I think by shutting off fuel to the injection pump.The other knob,to the left of the steering wheel doesn`t have any effect.Is this one supposed to cut off air somehow? Thanks.

    That looks as good as the first one...hope you don`t part it out.

    Hi Glen,I got rims in Sept,should have edited the post.
  11. skydawg
    Mine too...6 am.But today he stuck his nose out and decided he`d rather not.It was 5 deg F.

    Will we get to see either one at Macungie next June?
  13. skydawg
    They are both spectacular.

    High Binder,what model and year of that single axle truck.How rare are they? Thanks.
  15. skydawg
    Well then maybe they didn`t own my truck.I assumed they did because their name is on the mudflaps,but maybe they sold these to customers.
  16. skydawg
    They owned the 1961 B61 at one time,that I bought last August.They appear to be out of business,phone is disconnected.I was looking for any info/history on my truck,wondering if anyone here knew this company. I`m waiting on my info from the Mack museum.Thanks.

    I doubt yours and Matt`s looked that good the day they left the factory.
  18. skydawg
    Joey,I`ll be real happy if mine looks anywhere near as good as yours in the pic.
  19. skydawg
    That`s great info,thanks.
  20. skydawg
    Wow,those pics are incredible.I don`t have the necessary shop or equipment,so I`ll do my best next Spring in the frame.Is acetone a good degreaser/prep choice?
  21. skydawg
    When I see restored trucks here,it looks like the engines have been dipped in a vat of paint.Fuel lines,bolt heads,pulleys,pump,compressor,etc,everything gets sprayed.Is that the way they left the factory? With a lot of degreasing and masking it seems that you could spray an installed engine.
  22. skydawg
    How do you get rolling w/ a stuck clutch?Just crash it into gear?
  23. skydawg
    Lol,I`ll be getting smoke shifters from the neighbors for Christmas.
  24. skydawg
    Thanks for all the info.And I didn`t know to floor the pedal,I thought the injection pump compensated for different temp mixture requirements.It`s Not Easy Bein` Green.

    When you say water jacket plugs ,are they the freeze plugs in the block?
