  15. Too make things very simple,the biggest difference between the early Maxidyne 300,300+,and early 350 and the E6 engines was the aftercooling,the early ones used the side mounted aftercooler and a tip turbine fan,E6's were air to air mounted in front of radiator.I believe your 2nd pic is a 678 (early 350),not an E6. The difference between a ENDT676 and a ENDTB676 is the B means it has a Dynatard engine brake.Dynatard's require a special cam and can't just be added to any engine without changing the cam also,were a Jacobs Brake doesn't need to.
  16. Tim, I have several old Mack wrenches and tools.Most of them I have were made by either Williams or Bonney.From what I've heard,the came in tool kits with new trucks back in the 20's&'30's
  17. Thanks for the pics.Always thought one of those H-81's would make an awesome wrecker.There was a story in Double Clutch awhile back about a couple of them getting saved,think Dave Zsido & Bob Giddings got them. I was told that the H-81 was built to use up a large quanity of day cab H cabs Mack had ready for a large UPS order that was canceled when the F model came out.Don't know if that was true or not,but makes for some intersting history.
  18. Wish I had one of those in my back yard.I've seen twin steer F800's,but never a F900.You wouldn't happen to have any pics or know where there is any H-81's do you?They were used in NYC for heavy mixers too.
  19. It means that it wasn't a completely brand new manufactured truck.Glider kits were a new cab,frame and front axle.The idea behind them was that it was a way to rebuild wrecks or update an older truck,by using the still usable engine,trans.,and rear axle & suspension.For awhile,Mack even offered powered glider kits.These were new cab,frame,and front axle,with a factory reman engine installed,you just had to put in the trans. and rears.
  20. Tom, Do to the price of fuel,I didn't get to round up any stray B's this year,just a crusty A54 and a C609.Hopefully '06 will be a better year cause I'm suffering from withdrawal really,really bad. Keep up the good work.
  21. If you decide thats what you want to try,I've got a gutted '82 R model I'd trade or sell you cheap.The steering box,column,linkage,etc. is all there.I think I even have the p/s resevoir for it.You'd just have to come up with a p/s pump to fit your 220.
  22. I've never seen one up close or in person,but I've heard of using an R model steering box and steering column.Takes some modifcation,but it works.
  23. worst part about leaving the starter of the top left is that it makes it a bitch to change if it ever goes bad.
  24. F models had the same set up,so that should broaden your search options.
