To large of hole to either install a "boot", or a what I call a stud patch? Rob

Poor Killer is ailing
Rob replied to randyp's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
It is an EATON pump vendored to Mack. I have one on the shelf if you want to install it while you rebuild yours to eliminate down time. I know mine was good but hasn't been used in about 10 years. You could also put about a 3.5gpm external pump into the system and do away with the original. With pressure limited to less than 1500psi in the system, a single "A" series drive belt will suffice.

And you probably saved about 1/2 the cost of the trailer in towing bills. Rob

Think that is the first western "Stars & Bars" truck I've ever seen myself. Thanks, Rob

Thinking of emulating this paint scheme. Could use a few photos to help with the scaling. Thanks, Rob Mack Hauler.pdf

Happy B'day Ed. Rob

And the worst part of that is the politicians in play would buckle and pay instead of stay the course to right the wrongs. Rob

Hi Ernie and sorry to hear about your misfortune. I feel your pain, (not like Clinton did neither). I know that is the same exhorbitantly priced truck from earlier. I've seen it in several places advertised and remember well us discussing it. It won't sell with his thinking process as it is really is good for parts only. I don't want to say the seller is stupid, naive, moronic, an inbecile, degenerate, social reject, competency lacking, inbred, afterbirth remnant, disgrace of his mother's offspring, romper room reject, dribble in his father's shorts, or anything of the like cause as you guys know; I'm too nice a guy for that.

I have a small engine generator that needs to go to someplace around Denver, and another RS700 C&C brought back to my place. This is a gooseneck type trailer load as the truck is about 30 ft. long, and rolls. It is minus a cab and hood but otherwise mostly complete. Also have the RL797 water truck in NV that is needing to come home. It is a drop deck semi trailer load and about 9ft. 6in tall, and runs/drives. This is in Minden NV and needs to get to central IL also. No hurry on either shipment but want to get both in work. Rob

Been for sale on many different venues at near the same price consistently. The owner must not want to sell. Rob

Wood chip hydraulic dump ramp, when it works,when it breaks
Rob replied to lucerne tractor's topic in Tractors and Equipment
Pillsbury Mills in Springfield, IL had one and it worked well. You could not stay in the truck, and the engine had to be shut down. The truck driver was also responsible for any oil spillage due to leaking seals. Rob -

Rob replied to randyp's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I've put front seals in those pumps in the past but never by application. Any good bearing supply house can get the seal by the number that is on the seal itself, or if not mangled when it comes out, measurements. Rob -
B model hinge rebuild
Rob replied to Shawn Barrett's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
You would never wear that pin out again as the hinge material is softer than the pin when hardened correctly. Use a bronze walled bushing in any case. Those off the shelf pins are surface hardened also but GM style pins are larger on the upper bearing point than the lower. The key is to align everything correctly and ensure it stays aligned when boring. Rob -
You know what is funny? I seen her on the news tonight in that same outfit and commented to "Momma", "Damn, that woman has got uglier as she aged". And that is the truth. Rob

I know nothing about this location of it's known, or not known for anything. Rob

Ahh shit. I may have to buy one of those things, then take advantage of the available free labor around the shop to get my own stuff done. After a year or so of this pattern, I'd give the kid the truck. By then he would have the skills necessary to complete his own projects and be proud of the result(s). But, there ain't no way in hell I'm sharing my Snickers Stash. Rob

B model hinge rebuild
Rob replied to Shawn Barrett's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
You can do it with those hinge pins without too much problems by "jigging" the hinge pieces in a drill press and line boring all three holes at the same time to ensure trueness of the hole but I like to use water hardening drill rod. This is available at most industrial supply houses. This is the high speed steel a lot of twist drills are manufactured from as it is easy to work with, and harden. Rob -
I must be more discreet in my actions. Rob

I swear I did not buy this for the truck - can I load logs with it?
Rob replied to Olivetroad's topic in Other Truck Makes
If you keep it greased up it should last pretty good. Drywall is heavy but not as heavy as sizeable logs I'd think. I never much liked a 3306 engine as they were very expensive to repair and 300hp is about the limit to go with one and it render a decent service life. This is just my experience which is limited. Rob -
I know that. I like "U" models too as they are Mack and fit a very useful purpose. They are prolly one of the types or incarnations that should still be around. Give me the measurements of the can you need. I found a couple around here today I prolly won't use. Rob
-
Ohh how I remember the boys. Rob

You obviously haven't seen me. Don't know if the truck would ride level without additional helpers on the driver's side springs. I don't insult people I don't know; at least intentional. Give me 30 seconds, (or enough time to cop an attitude) with them, and it might be a different story....... Rob

I was looking for stainless steel aligator clips to make some new test leads for the shop. You find the darndest things on that ebay place. Rob

I'm afraid if'n I was to attempt to shove my fat ass into, and drive one of those lopsided things and make a right turn at speed, it'd roll over on me. Rob
