    Mack used various prefixes, suffixes and numbers to identify their engines. It does seem that the 673 designation is for a Thermodyne type engine and a narrow power band. The 675 Maxidyne (later also with the 676) introduced in 1966 was the high torque rise engine with its wide power band.

    Geeesh, when it rains, it pours! Hopefully will be OK. Certainly appreciate hearing about a potential resolution to the braking issue that may help someone else down the road.

    I would think so but the guy stamping that shift could have been bored or feeling lazy or ???

    In lieu of pictures or some numbers to identify the box, how bad is it leaking? Pouring out or just weeping? Work or hobby truck? If it is a hobby truck or just weeping, drain what is left of the fluid and then fill the steering box with John Deere corn head grease. Corn head grease is soft enough (NLGI 0) to use in a steering box but is typically thick enough not to leak out. https://www.greenpartstore.com/John-Deere-Special-Purpose-Corn-Head-Gun-Grease-AN102562.html

    No source for an instant answer. See response in the previous thread you started in "Parts For Sale".

    https://www.macktruckshistoricalmuseum.org/ The Mack Historical Museum can usually do it. They are currently shut because of Covid. It is a volunteer operation and work off donations for the service. A "good" dealer can get info as well.

    Sounds like you did OK!

    Seen them for $100 online but not in person. Wonder if it is a good knock off or a bad one? Does it break the first time used? May be better to spend $300 to get the Esco.

    Interesting! Don't like the weather, take a drive! That reminds me to move the Bonneville Salt Flats up on my bucket list of places to visit.

    That is Fabulous RH! Should be a fun project to get going again and take a cruise for some ice cream.

    Yup, not Mack. Would agree with Paul on Federal. About a 1945-1947 vintage.
