39 Baby Mack

Marcel What year is your "MH"? Ron

Sorry to steer you in the wrong direction, that's the junction box Mike and rw613 were talking about. It was mounted on the gear shift tower. Somewhere on here I thought i saw that it was a '93 and our last two MH's which were '93's had the starter solenoid up in the cab and no junction box on the shift tower! Sorry wasn't trying to make things confusing! In the junction box on your truck there is a solenoid for the starter and the other thing should be a heavy duty circuit breaker. I don't remember for sure what the rating was for the breaker but it was pretty high and was marked on the reset knob coming out of the other side of the junction box. It had to be manually reset if it was tripped. Ron

Yes there is a starter solenoid under the dash on the drivers side. Should have a plastic flap around it. The relay over in the fuse box that you hear clicking is the power relay. Ron

On the later "MH"'s they did away with the junction box on the shift tower, I believe you'll find the starter solenoid under the dash on the L.H. side between the steering column and the dog box. Ron

That's my father, the other gentleman was Charles Horner Sr. Philadelphia Brockway regional manager. His son was Charles Horner Jr. who had the Mack distributorships in Vineland, and later Pennsauken, NJ. Ron

The one in the ad is #112 and the one at Yaworski's is #114. You might ask how can I be so sure? #112's air horns were mounted under the hood and #114's air horns were mounted on the roof. Ron

Great pics Mike! I like the Markal insurance sticker on the "G" model. I know this is going to come as big surprise to you but I'm kinda of fond of that Eaton 2 speed axle ad from The Saturday Evening Post! Thanks for posting. Ron

Maybe you can layover in Brickerville! Ron

Nice lookin' H-63! Earlier H-63 with the windows in the sleeper, are the screens still there? Good luck with it. Ron

Great pictures Vinny! Thanks for posting. Spent a lot of time in Saratoga Springs right up Rte. 9 from there. Ron

Glad your all right! I think I'm going to buy some more stock in B.V.D. Ron

I agree with you guys too, would've been really sharp with the regular "R" model hood! Just goes to show you can't really improve on a classic! Ron

Very sorry to hear of your loss, will keep you in my prayers. Ron

Welcome to the nuthouse! Ron

I agree! Ron

Nice lookin' "R" model! Ron

The H-67 with the wipers on the bottom was the last version. It had one wiper motor with a transmission to work both wipers. All the older H models had the wipers on the top and had a separate motor for each wiper. They were all air operated. Ron

Congratulations! Ron

Very well put Glenn! Ron

Got those good old Rockwell "Stopmaster" brakes on it too! Ron

I doubt if that B-61 is a '61, not where the turn signals are mounted! Ron

Good to hear from you, glad you're feeling better! Ron

This sounds like a Mack "Dynamax" clutch like the ones United Parcel used to use. Don't really know that much about them, think they used A.T.F. fluid. The diaphram that actuates the clutch is a standard size brake diaphram but is made out of a special material that won't be attacked by the oil in the clutch housing. Ron

The yellow valve supplies air to both the the blue valve (tractor park) and red valve (trailer air supply). This way way when you pull the yellow valve it sets all the brakes tractor and trailer just by pulling the one knob. (system park). Once you push in the yellow knob then you can either release the tractor brakes with the blue or release (supply air) to the trailer with the red independent of each other. Ron

That is a Kysor bell, usually used for low oil pressure and/or high water temperature. Ron
