The stuff in rear looks this way. Also we power washed her today and found out interesting marks on the cab. There were the traces of the previous owner's marks. Looked like a big rhomb on the door with something like "TRANSFER" and "Lyberty, Pa" Also you could clearly see #31 of that fleet on the door above the strip.

Strongly recommended by me!

Thank you for posting, Tom. Too sorry the goats were really small this time.

Ray, it really helps. And all the posted above helped also. I got the lever boot with the spring off and put the lever in its place with the cab down. It shifted relatively well with the exception of some play because of wear in the joints. I found out the spring was broken and the boot wasn't solid so I'm looking for them now. The air ride of the cab needs air bags. Watts raited them for about $70 apiece and I'm going to catch them. Checked out the hydro locks today, they start making movements when applying the cab pump so look working. The Neway suspension you showed me out is almost the same I have in my R's. Although the MH setup is definitely not the "classic" air ride and not "Hendricson". There are some strange to me points in it and some issues. For example it looks like there were little steel ropes on the each side of the rear axles to the frame bolts for limiting up the suspension range. I made some pics of it but it's difficult to figure out of what you see on them with the tires on. Will try to make better ones and show out.

Don't you have a couple of 24.5 rims off the hubs? I'd like to get them, especially if it's able to bring them to Secaucus NJ.

It's really cool to make such birthday presents. Glad to see her Mike. And the story is great!

Congratulations

Thank you DigDug, There are shure many folks all around the globe who really love Macks. I met many in The Netherlands, shure there's a lot of in Australia and OZ. Too hope those African and South American guys also love driving Macks although it's really sad to see how they have to beat them to death with no service and care enough. Actually you can import a truck to Russia if it's not older than 3-5 years and Euro-5 emission level (the top one). The only other way is a partly knocked down form and with no chances to register it. That's sad. So I try to not miss any chance to get a local old Mack with papers. They are too rare beasts here though. Interesting info, BC Mack, Just hadn't time enough on last days to get myself to the truck. My rear suspension is different than your's, I'll take pics and put them on here. Yes, the park brakes on the FR with regular chambers on the RR. May put spring ones all around but should arrange additional lines that way. Don't know the weight rating and so on, Watts said they couldn't track the VIN. It's not the first time about them though. And those for $45 - wich brands on your mind would work well? I saw not only Bendix on the net but lots of different ones. Does any one familiar with aftermarket stuff of the kind?

This one is an ex-WW2 truck. There was also Mack NM wich was of the same class and used the same chassis components - Timken-Detroit axles and a transfer case. Pretty wicked on my mind.

Have you finally got her home?

Any ideas on where to get from a sun visor like on the pic? Probably an early one? Too like how it looks (and the truck also)

Thanks Al, Pretty cool info you gave me about that suspension. It looks strong built at all and attached to Mack axles by some special way. Although there are repairs on the rear ends of the rear axle longitutional arms (levers) and I had a hope to find a pair of used such the levers in the future. Was shure it's a commonly used setup. It was also interesting to note - there are park brake chambers on the FR axle only. Do the most of modern Macks have it the same or it's out of the rule?

Give me a look if it's close.

That yellow thing looks like off a lock or a boat.

Found this yesterday googling MH's. The comment was it's from the cutted off episode.

Thank you Joe. I read Ray's thread about HUT and being surprized to be related to by some way. The "02-6" sticker also makes sence, the truck was imported in Russia in early 2003. There's a kind of talk locally that there's the city of Moscow in the USA. Just have never been involved personally to that fact. Glad to learn it from you.

No troubles Mike, I don't have a momma to worry she might learn too much. The truck was offered for about $5500 and was for sale during two weeks before I checked the site out. It was too reasonable in relation to Visions or Freightliners/Internationals wich are common here and cost $25-30K being 1997-2002. If you remember white MH with the IH top on the cab it was also not running. The man asked 14K and after some talks stepped out to 11. After I came close to the green one and made the offer of 4700 the seller said Ok. I had to spend extra 1500 for 800km towing though.

Ray, Thank you, but I probably need some additional facts. I made a quick look over today. The linkage was probably destroyed with a half-secessful fixing it up. The semi-spere with the pin wich is on the cab might be fitted into the lower (chassis) part on my mind. It comes in but doesn't lock there. I just not shure how it should be correct to work. From the pics you posted I can see those two semi-spheres can couples and gets off when a cab is almost up. If so what the way the lever in the cab is carried? Mine is just hangs in the rubber boot. And it seemed to me that the airbags to support the cab are almost gone. Still trying to figure out what it was layed on...

Ken, I got myself under the fender today and it looked like there were quad's. I supposed it should be that though. Single round lights look unusual on my mind and I like them by some special way. So resolved to fit on the truck the kind I can find sooner.

Cool

I also like them, they reminds me the places I visited this past summer. Could anybody tell me what all they mean? Thank you, Leon, haven't heared a long from you. It's shure a good idea, although there might be some troubles about riding EU motorways. I slowly think on that matter, too hope to do it one day.

Now I'm im the list. Three low parts of a grill and head light assemblies. No matter round ones or rectangular's, haven't realized what I'd like better to have.

V8 DD in a U-model?

I see you found perfect coal remover Ryan. Sand blasted turbo core also looks fresh
