The overalls were too tight and form fitting.Rob -
I don't know about that but the later production ones had a longer "member" to hang down to keep from pissing themselves while on their side.Made the rest of them "R" model bulldogs jealous. Rob

Needle bearings for SG-16 steering gear
Rob replied to Vladislav's topic in Driveline and Suspension
They would be able to supply the seal also if still made. Just need numbers and outside dimensions.Rob -
These are no longer availble new through PAI as listed in their newest catalog. Sorry if I mislead. I'll look when at the shop later today to see if I can help you out.Rob

Them V8 Mack engines don't like to run too long on their side. I'm making assuption that Detroit V8's were a little more tolerant so they went to them? Rob

We looked through the "Stemco", "CR", "SKF", "National", and a couple of the others but could not come up with the correct sleeve repair kit. This was for an FA-517 axle but FA-505 uses same setup. The wear rings pushes up against the butt of the spindle. Accumulated oil/grease causes it to "glue" itself into place. A sharp chisle, or stiff bladed putty knife will break it loose. There is an "O" ring in the internal opening of the wear ring that seals this ring to the outer surface of the spindle. If you have this setup, be certain to replace that "O" ring!!Rob

Needle bearings for SG-16 steering gear
Rob replied to Vladislav's topic in Driveline and Suspension
Vlad, That is a common bearing. The cost is $13.93 with about a 10 day wait to get it to me. They have 93 in stock. If you would like I'll get the bearing coming to my shop, (they won't ship out of country) and I'll get it coming your way. Should you need it faster there will be some freight added to the cost. I'd need your mailing address. Rob -
I could not find availability on a "speedi sleeve" type repair for mine Larry. The seal with the new weare ring were almost $139.00 each for mine. I have the Stemco numbers at the shop if you need them.Don't think running the truck a few feet in the driveway did any damage as that is a very hard surface hardness area. Rob

That is a very common part to break as it is not supported as well as it should be. I'm thinking it is available through PAI new, but I know I have at least one that is someplace extra. I'll look in a catalog I have later today and get back with some information.Rob

Needle bearings for SG-16 steering gear
Rob replied to Vladislav's topic in Driveline and Suspension
HI Vlad, I will look at a bearing supplier this afternoon for you. The "Archemoid" wording was a Mack's terminology. All I have seen in the past were vendored to Mack by Ross. It is however possible this one was manufactured by Mack themselves.Having the actual bearing dimension is helpful as I've seen rebuilt steering gears use an oversized bearing. This happens when the unit is run dry of oil, the bearing freezes, and rotates in it's respective mounting bore. The bore size is then increased requiring an oversized bearing. I'll try to get to this later this day and post back this evening. Rob -
Hi there and nice truck to start with. That truck having a hydraulic brake system would probably be better served with a newer hydrovac system. Parts can be difficult on the older ones. These can be acquired at most any heavy truck parts vendor. You can get single, or dual circuit types but currently you have a single if original. If you stay original not many parts will need changed. Going to a dual type circuit will give you braking power should you lose a front or rear system. With a single, a leak or blown hose anyplace in the system yields no braking power.Rob

Needle bearings for SG-16 steering gear
Rob replied to Vladislav's topic in Driveline and Suspension
Vlad, please report the depth and width measurement(s) of the recess the bearing must press into, and the external diameter of the shaft the bearing must support. Most caged needle bearing assemblies like the photo have a number stamped into the case edges. With dimensions, I can probably get something that will fit your application.Although the Mack designation for the steering gear is "SG-16", it is a "Ross" gear manufactured part. There should be numbers hand stamped into the housing. These numbers would be a very good thing to have for further research. Rob -
Yup, "Where Bambi goes, nuthin grows". and "I ain't even been out an hour". Gene Tracy's truckstop? I'm gonn have to did out the old 8 tracks again.......Rob

Foregoing corporate "tax cheats" creats the ability to attend $3000.00 a plate fundraisers that give you a lot of operating capital to purchase influence.Campaign finance laws need overhauled prior to this administration being voted out. Rob

Yeah Glenn, but the truck no longer "rides like a cloud" eh.........Rob

Replace the rubber bushings with the much more durable urethane bushings. They will wear a lot better for you. The rubber bushing trunions are too lightweight, (my opinion) to be in a dump truck chassis. Heavier Mack rears used bronze bushings when rated at 40,000# suspension and above.Rob

I can talk old trucks and memories for hours on end. Most of the customers that stop by usually wind up chatting about the "old days". Young and old enjoy this hobby if only in conversation. Rob

Pity the thought.Rob

I need to have at least one heavy truck I can work with so I'm seriously looking to do this. I know some laws very from state to state so I'll prolly only get generic information but will post what I find out. Uncle Rob
