    Who's Hotter?

    Rob replied to other dog's topic in Odds and Ends

    I hate the thought of my balls "rolling", cause the resulting pain is something I'm not akin to. Remember; "Momma" has a big knife and knows how to use it. Rob

    This is a photo of my RL755L at work when it was new with the original owner. I have spoken with them and they are trying to locate any photos and records of when they operated it. Their shop forman, (ordered truck new) is on vacation through the first of the year, but the president of the company says he will be happy to help with my quest although he did not specifically remember this truck himself. He agrees that they did own it when I mentioned some of the decals and maintenance stickers located in the cab. Sorry for the low resolution photo but I grabbed it from their website homepage and cannot do anything with it. Rob

    Glad to have you around here. Quite a pool of talent readily available, and always room for more. I'm not much of a mechanic so I ask quite a few questions myself and several are ready to offer their insights based on experience. I hope you will do the same. Welcome to the sight. Yes, I will eat anything. Rob

    I don't know there Pedro. You have one hell of a fine looking unit there. Personally, I like the spokes on the rears. Another plus is that I understand the spokes are stronger than their Budd counterparts and with heavy axles as you have, this may be beneficial. If the truck were mine, I would paint the rear rims body color, paint a red stripe around the outer tire bead sealing area of the rim, then put stainless centers on the hubs along with covers on the nuts. Hard to beat a truck that earns it's keep and looks good doing it. I think you have enough "brite work" there already, and it is not gawdy. Rob

    Funny you should mention that James. Momma has prepared for tonights cuisine flaming road kill Possum soufflé with a thick and creamy mushroom sauce. Raccoon testicle stuffed croissants are baking with a nicely aged Merlot dinner wine from the Bordeaux region of France in the rack. For desert we are having a large double chocolate' (pronounced, shok o lot) éclair with a mystery filler, (she won't tell me what's in it) for a surprise. Rob

    Agree.

    You have a TR107 trans. Pretty standard 70's five speed behind a 237 Maxidyne series engine. Rob

    25 years of loyal service. That deserves recognition. You just don't see that much anymore. $100,000 dollars for a Peterbilt jacket with a free truck; Sounds about right. Wonder if you could have got the jacket for $99,990.00 and let them keep the truck? Rob

    I could never be a participant with public, or private politics as I sleep well living an honest life. I could never sell cars for a living either. That is the truth. Rob

    The "older" six speed, (either two stick, or air shift) would suit you just fine. The low gear is less, (greater reduction) than the five speed and the top gear is still direct. I have a TRXL-107 in one of my trucks that is the very low first gear. The low range is only used in the first gear position and it is very slow with a 23:1 reduction. This would be great for dump spreading work. I will be getting rid of mine shortly as I'm installing another engine and transmission into this truck sometime in the next few months. Rob

    Ain't nobody more attractive than Momma. After all these years; She still "trips my trigger". Rob

    That is great but I understand you have to purchase them from an International dealer: They are not a reward for "loyalty". Rob

    No, dealing with no power at work most of the day. Should be able to do that tomorrow. Rob

    Man that would be great! Will end a two year search. Thanks, Rob

    I've got a headliner out of a b-61 at the shop. I'll snap you a few photos tomorrow. It was perfect but a damn mouse, (since departed and fried til crunchy) chewed a hole in it rendering it useless except for a pattern. Rob

    That is a good idea Jocko. However the RL700L series of trucks were "Western" models and have not been produced in many years. They were not near as common as several of the rest of production models. In my neck of the woods the "Western's" were very few and far between. My eyes have only seen the two I have in my possession. Really appreciate your offer of help and wish you luck with obtaining a restorable project! Rob

    And a fine piece of machinery it is. Still think it would look great in my shop..... And a free dinner with the passover. Rob

    Thanks guys, my oil supplier can get fill any order I place but needs to know what I want...... I'll go with the synthetic if I know for sure the tranmission(s) don't leak! I actually have two RTO12513 transmissions, (I forgot about Project R-12) and have a fresh rebuilt one for that. The rebuilders tag specifically states to use synthetic gear lube. Is it better to run synthetic in everything, or absolutely cost prohibitive in my cases? Thanks, Rob
  21. Rob
    I've got several differentials, and transmissions that I plan to service in the near future. All are older with the newest being a 1978, Most are Mack. The exceptions are a single Fuller, (RTO12513), and a Brownie, (6231D), and a set of Rockwell rears. Would 80W-90 meeting the GL-4 spec be good, or would GL-5 be better? Or a combination of both? I know Glenn will know this from experience. Thanks, Rob

    The sales agent is not the claims department; There is an unbelieveable difference between the two. I do not have State Farm insurance, never have, never will. Running an autobody shop for many years teaches one a thing or two about the workings of insurance companys. Let's just say this one does not have its' policy holders best interest at heart. Rob

    We are. Some just taste better than the others..... Rob

    You will need to have a shaft manufactured by a driveline shop. Another thing is that you will not want to exceed 60 inches of shaft length, (light usage) or you will need to incorporate a carrier bearing into the driveline. Any driveline shop will be able to guide you through the needed steps. Rob
