    Seeing the amount of work done on it the cost seems fair to me. Is it B67? The hood looks short and I found nothing in description telling it b61 or other.

    Actually I just can't imagine how BIG that Mack should be. Hope we'll see it some day. Interesting crane setup on the RW.

    Cool looking tank truck! The original paint scheme worth some thinking on to be saved or reproduced either. If no real need to use it transporting fluids you might make a room inside the tank body for storage or a tea drinking on truck shows. Good luck on the project! Vlad

    That's a great looing truck you posted! Hope and wish it will last long enough for you. Or maybe forever You must be a proud company owner having such a beast in your fleet. Greetings from cool central Russia! Vlad

    It's a kind of off-topic but question-related. I personally don't know the answer for his question but hope as more we discuss as more people pay attention to the thread and more chances to help the topic starter either.

    Blue truck looks good! You might start doing work on your original truck and keep your eye for more parts during that. It sure will take some while until you have the most of the chassis done. Good luck on the project and welcome on here! Vlad

    Thank you for the thought Paul. That's what I read about. Cast iron being welded forms another christal structure in the area it cools off contacting with sorround metal. It means different physical properties and could crack down being stressed enough.
  8. Vladislav
    Yes, they do. The thing I don't like they drill through. Right up to cooling passage. So I wobble between that option and keep as is. I can get a solid head but need to go to Europe for. That's the best way though, just not fast enough.

    I had one of the heads off my ED519 Lanova cracked. It comes just at the side of the chamber, not to any of the valve seats. Looks like there's no way of coolant to go into the chamber by now. But I have no idea how long it could last. Making research in the net I found out that it's impossible to weld ANY cast iron by ANY way. There was an article where a man analized phisical and chemical matter of that fact. So stitching seems the only way. I don't know how it's good or bad either.

    Wow! Pretty cool thing. I'd like to bring it back to life using some EHU as a donor. Sorry not ready to carry such a deal. Those rears look 44000 or heavier. Are they?
  11. Vladislav
    Look over both the hood and the cab to find out any traces of old repairs wich could change their form. If find any make your mind on how to correct it. Or swap the entire thing (sorry but might be a way). If nothing of that shows out look over cab mounting points to move it the way you need. Any mounting brackets might be deformed/modified or improperly installed either.

    Hmmm.. Looks like Canadian spread rears (60") with Allentown built VIN plate. Was it possible?

    That's one cool picture of the moon. Or just "Moon" without "the'? I thought "Moon" was the name of the planet either. Wonder how much I need to zoom it out to see any moon crawler or maybe Moonwalker?? The Mercedes Benz picture is pretty. Like Lancaster river too.

    The one i have in my R is 1/2-13 coarse thread. Suppose B must have smaller size.
  15. Vladislav
    That's great Mike!
  16. Vladislav
    Those green hubs take it apart from the most other B's. Can't figure out why but I like them.
  17. Vladislav
    Post a picture with pointing out the size you need. Like the one below.

    "Stuck 220 cummins, water in the oil. Truck ran for 2 minutes, then tightened up. One owner, hasn't ran in 12 years. 10 speed trans" Tim, did you originally want to say "of story"? Cool long nose beast for sure!

    They said it was chromed. If that's true it needs a long time to get a surface rust after wich the base material will start oxidize.
  20. Vladislav
    As I remember from seeing the world map Texas and Bermude triangle are not the same place. I dug out the cavit of no less size than our lost cowboy this past summer but am seen still on here.
  21. Vladislav
    He disappeared a long while back with no traces. Some one saw the truck he was offering for sale later on the other site. Hope he's doing fine. Just surprized he didn't pay a lil bit of attention to just say Goodbye.

    Looks like a nice work horse. Good luck on bringing her to the new life!
  23. Vladislav
    One of them showed out owerhere but I have no track on it. I'm afraid though it's a bit far from your location anyway.
  24. Vladislav
    Greetings to Israel, From the pic I don't see anything that looks off Lanova. The front axle beam, hubs, fuel tank and so on is from later models. If we talk about NR 4D every Lanova Mack chassis number started from it. Regardless it was NR-7, NR-13 or NR-14. Interesting you've got NR 4D chassis number from the licence plate record.

    Nothing looks as nice as a fresh paintwork! Espesially if it's red. You're not that bad with the paintshop. I wait for just the sunvisor to be painted for 3 month now. And my sleeper is in the wait lane since about March. Visiting shop folks often makes things faster sometimes. Although they start to get costs for future projects from the sky in some cases either. Hope to see more Red Bright progress from you soon.
