    Some companies still make rebuild kits for these.

    Whoa what a rig! Welcome to the forum! I look forward to learning more about this Mack. I personally don't know all that much about these early 20s Mack but there is a wealth of knowledge on here you can learn from.

    Is one end closed by metal or rubber? If its rubber and there are no holes at one end (like for a wing nut) I don't see the harm of running a filter with one closed end if it's the same size and fits. Although I do remember our Mh using a two open ended filter. I think there might be a port or plug on the filter cover for an ether system so that might be blocked if you use a different filter. Good luck!

    The Off Topic section has recently past the General Discussion section in number of posts. I think we all like a good story. Here is a Feed/Hammer mill that we recently got running again:

    Washboarded dirt roads and spring ride are most of what I've dealt with so more horsepower just wastes more fuel. Since all I've used a big rig for is hauling around equipment and grain I can't say I've ever even gotten up to over 65. I'd like to see one of those 6.7 or 6.6 high output motors in something like a tractor and keep a load on it for 14 hours or so.

    Not much more flow you can get out of an only 2 valves per cylinder although I've heard some say they pull just as good or better than the later 4 valve E6. More fuel will just add to EGT and smoke out of exhaust. Plus the bottom ends of the E6's are made only as strong as they need to be and not much more. I've heard of crank shafts snapping.

    Tread lightly when tuning an E6 especially a 2 valve.

    Yep more pictures. Its probably an early E7 if it's not an E6. Every E7 I've seen has the Bosch P pump and this doesn't look like a P Pump.

    Hard to believe that truck is the same year as my IH Transtar. Looks like an old school truck in the days of old school trucks...

    As far as I know yes. Every brochure I've seen calls the E9s Econodynes but I wasn't even around for the E9's reign so Im not the one to ask.

    looks good at cleaning carpet!

    Anyone know if tip turbine engines were ever used for marine use? I would think that an intercooler on the engine would be nice on something that doesn't have a traditional radiator like in marine or irrigation motor use.

    This guy has been doing some great video's on Mack engines that I thought I'd share. A whole new generation now knows about about the tip turbine engines.

    Neeto!

    I wouldn't order a truck without a manual transmission unless I had to. And if I had to pick an automatic I'd try and pick a REAL automatic like an Allison. Automated manual transmissions might be more efficient but with the complexity I don't see how they'd make sense in the long run.

    I've heard that about the Paccar and Cummins engines. Choked up on the emissions stuff all the time its not hard to see why
  17. BOBWhite
    Not going to make it to the main event but I went through Pratt and took some pictures while they were setting up the show. Not much to see but I sure do love this B model! Hope I can meet the owner someday.

    I think either Oliver or maybe White also used Hercules diesels in their tractors. I wonder if the manufacturer casted the manifolds with their name in or if the manufacture did. Did someone in the past do this just to screw with us?!

    Who wants to know??

    Was Mack still producing railroad equipment as this time? Maybe it came off of some sort of yard shunt locomotive
  21. BOBWhite
    Well I don't image anyone here would be going to a truck show in the middle of nowhere but I might take some pictures if I have the time and go.
  22. BOBWhite
    This got me thinking, why don't more people buy these? A brand new Isuzu F series comes with a 6.7 Cummins and an Allison transmission so you could make a heavy duty work truck without having to buy a dodge! You might even be able to snag one with a manual transmission. Sign me up! I'd put a bale bed and a caker on the back and have quite the cow rig

    If you own more than one of these... I think as soon as I could walk I was toting one of these homemade air bombs around
  24. BOBWhite
    Adding onto that what is the difference between a long shaft pump an a short shaft pump? Does the radiator sit closer to the engine on the B models?
  25. BOBWhite
    Cool rig! Is it double or single framed? also what engine/transmission does it have? Welcome to the forum!
