    Hi,is visible smoke from the road vent(crankcase) to be expected or is it indicative of excessive blowby?Would this be a deal breaker for a buyer who couldn`t afford an engine rebuild.The engine seems healthy otherwise.Thanks for any advice.

    Has anyone found something from another vehicle that can replace the original,which is all but impossible to find?Thanks.

    Thanks Frank,STTC in Bethlem has used rims and tires,I`m told.

    Hi,does anyone know a source for these in the Allentown area or a reasonable hike from there? Could use decent used tires,will just be bobtailing a B61. Thank You.

    I`d like to know what the 1962 B61 sold for.

    Hi,is anyone bringing a B model to Macungie this year to sell?
  7. skydawg
    Two days ago it could be had for $4.99/gal here in NNJ.Today it`s $5.76...WTF?

    I should add that I know alot of people that can make large amounts of alcohol evaporate...still no word on the Unishift device.

    I`ve read a few tales of an aux case cracking/puking,and hope this is a result of poor maintenance,and therefore avoidable.

    I`ve about given up on finding a nice B61 s/a tractor and am looking at a B67 w/ Unishift trans.So this setup has an air cylinder that needs frequent water draining,as well as an alcohol evaporator?Is that something that you fill w/ alcohol on a regular schedule? Thanks.

    I guess Vinny has completely abandoned this site...he would have ben raving over this a few yrs ago.

    Wow,great explanation,thanks,Weasel!

    What sort of mileage could I hope to get w/ a light spec 1961 B61,S/A,END 673,Duplex direct,4.66 dual reduction rear axle,11x22.5 tires,bobtail only.I also could use an explanation of "Dual Reduction",as per the rear axle. Thank You.

    I thought you just built a garage and were ready to start the work.

    I got quotes from $575 to $2000,some were clueless as to what a Mack B61 is,and what would be involved.I assumed any responders would be lowboy O/O`s.

    Hi,I`m looking for someone who can haul a B61 T from Nitro,WV to Washington,NJ,in early April.I`ve gotten a bewildering array of quotes from Uship,Mercury and others,and lots of scary reviews from customers.Any suggestions or leads would be appreciated,thanks.
  17. skydawg
    Thanks,h67,they had a B61T shop manual for 1962,so I bought that.They also have a parts book from 1966,don`t know if that would be a necessary addition to the service manual.

    I`ll be taking delivery of a 1961 B61 T in early April,and have been looking for a service manual...they seem to be unobtainable.I`ve looked on ebay,Troxler`s,and other lit sites and came up empty.I have the build sheets from the Mack museum but they didn`t respond when I asked about a shop manual.Any leads would be appreciated,thanks.

    The turbos in cars from the 60`s were routinely having to be replaced long before the engines were worn out.Is this true of the turbocharged 673 engines from the B era?
  20. skydawg
    I`ve been looking to buy a nice,presentable B tractor for months.I`ve seen some nice ones,but the majority for sale are out in some field,rotting into the ground.Why would you neglect a truck for many years,THEN decide to sell it when you probably couldn`t give it away? Rhetorical question,I guess...just venting.

    Thanks for the info and pics. So after everything was unbolted,did you use a winch or something to pull the rear forward to it`s new position? Can air lines be shortened and reattached to original fittings or do you need to buy new shorter?

    I was planning on going to see on Sunday.Sat morning the ad was gone from Buffalo CL.I had what I thought was the sellers private #,and called several times Sat...no answer and no voicemail.I`m guessing it`s sold and the ebay listing is still up because that`s some broker in Omaha that the seller paid a fee to up front,and they don`t know or care that it sold.

    Thanks for the post...I`m looking for the shorter 146" wheelbase chassis.I`m guessing a frame and driveshaft can be shortened,but I don`t know anyone near me that might be able to do that,or what it would cost.That nice red truck in Ohio is also the longer WB.
  24. skydawg
    Is there a Mack sage in the LeRoy area that would care to help inspect this truck?I`d pay you for your time and knowledge.
