CF-Firefighter

Ready to see it fire up!!! I have seen your galaxy since I was a kid on the forums. And always admired the b61. hope it out pulls newer trucks and you can hold her to the floor like I would. Old Mack’s just run.

Oh yes, the temptation. I gave in on my 865 v pump ambac and turned it up I couldn’t resist. stay strong!!!

Might not be Mack specific. Our 31 Seagrave has one similar. If I recall the shop at work was able to find glass or plexiglass tube and refurbish the metal work. beautiful rig!

Also from a torque standpoint. Find the torque for the grade of a fastener and diameter. Measure con clearances if you can get them torque to spec for fastener and adjust plus or minus to achieve correct bearing clearance. if you can get plastigage and play with torque and clarancing might be of help a few percent a either way to get what you need or honing the con rod.

Vlad, I don’t know much about the compressors or parts needed. however I like you, am very mechanical minded and enjoy solving problems others throw away. this is very interesting to me. Nothing is beyond being taken apart and rebuilt. Glad to see you find inspiration and ingenuity to work around supply issues we all face in our modern world. awesome progress my friend. Taylor

Looks like an old style shock absorber to me.

Thought I’d share a couple pictures of my 865 powered CF running like a sewing machine in this years parade.

My paper is showing a clutch number as 1MXA 3165 clutch type CLS-751 and that’s with a tr-722 in a cf795

I’ve got an itemized parts list as well from Mack I’ll look when I get off shift from the station when I get home in the morning.

Not sure if it would be of any help, but I have a 77 CF795 that was originally a 5 speed. I have the build sheet at home it should show the factory clutch part number. Would that be of help?

I’m trying to learn more about the 865/866 myself. I have an 865 and am beginning to collect parts for future repairs. Thank you for the part numbers.

Love the DM old school fabricated front end and heavy rears. Is it planetary?

I’ve been very curious about the 865/866 since I bought my fire engine with one. Not alot of information out there on them. still can get parts just have to dig. Turbo was discontinued but I had new one built to specs so it can be done reasonably
