Sure it is. Ready for a parade or a run down to the ice cream shop.

My disguise worked a little too well.

This beautiful tractor was built at the factory with an Allison automatic transmission.

M-18 mining truck and an AC on display at Macungie 2017.

L85: In Service.

Probably should have been wearing a better disguise.

Legit deal for 1973. Here is some previous conversation including some pics from the Bulldog magazine of the gold painted rigs. https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30184-all-eyes-are-on-the-new-maxidyne/?page=2

Looks Great!

It did go to England and the new owner was on this forum but I haven't seen him visit in a while. At the end of its service, there were two dept. personnel that could handle mixing the sticks on the quad box. Here is a side view.

The bezel is crimped on to the case. Gauge shops have a tool to open the crimp, repair and then re-crimp the bezel. If you take the gauge out, try some gentle compressed air to blow the dirt out. It might work? Tachs are not too expensive so if it doesn't clean up put a new one in.

Took this picture of the Swanzey Center Granite tanker which replaced the 1962 B tanker back around 2012 or so.

Right, looking at the chart shows different pump, injectors, etc. I don't have info on the turbo number but the ENDT673 runs 11-12 psi boost and the ET673 runs 15.9-17.6 psi according to factory specs.

Make sure you get it balanced before you mount it. Happy Birthday!

nice!

Very sad for all.

You all have great taste in trucks!

Stop in when you can.

Must be for your U model because it is already flopped onto its side...

Available between 1975-1978 260 HP with no charge air cooling. Could have ESI or ESI Plus for the oil filter and pan combo.

Fine looking equipment!

I am not sure of when this picture was taken. Certainly is a Big Dog!

I wouldn't mind having an R-700 wrecker in the back forty.

You can just jack the axle you are working on. A wheel dolly is handy so you can remove both tires, spoke and drum at one time. Remove the axle hardware and drain the axle tube of oil. Loosen slack adjuster for a little room between drum and shoes. Take axle shaft out. Remove axle bearing nut. Remove tires, drum, etc. Remove seal and inner bearing. Clean hub cavity and all mating surfaces. Inspect bearings and clean. Not a bad idea to take the seal to the parts counter when you get a new one. You will need to have a seal driver to do the install. Put bearings and seal in and reinstall hub and tires then tighten adjusting nut for .003 to .008 end play. Torque lock nut to 300-400 ft lbs. Keep in mind, since the bearings run in oil, you can either pack the bearings with grease so they are lubricated until the axle oil gets down the axle tube. Or lube them in oil and install and "drive" the truck slowly in place on jack stands to get the lube circulating. Or park the truck on a slope so gravity will get the oil down to them. After a few minutes, put it on level ground to check and add oil as needed. Readjust the brake slack.

Yes it did.

Exhaust is out the bottom. Because of age and years sitting, one of the o rings in the treadle could be be bad. Could be a broken fitting or cracked line at the treadle body.
