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

Just wanted to thank everyone and give an update; Today I was able to get the old girl out for its first successful journey since thanksgiving. She ran flawlessly. 90lbs of oil pressure hot cruise and 45lbs hot idle on a fresh service. the new turbo is definitely an improvement over the original. Now just have to run it some more to build up my confidence

That’s awesome!! Another cf700. bearings, I’ve seen a few floating around. You can get parts just takes some digging. they are out there still. Just went thought similar with my 865 finding a turbo. Takes some patience and research.

Just a simple observation, I assume that year did not have a battery disconnect? All of the apparatus I’ve been around in my career, Mack’s have had the kussman “spelling” staple black quarter/half turn battery disconnects. In the event I’m willing to bet the field is energized or bleeding power through the generator if nothing else.
