Olivetroad Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I will just put some JB weld under it and glue it back down, then hold in place with some rusty fencing as a clamp !!! You really are from Missouri!I have had the same thing done at St. Louis spring with good results. It was all done over the phone and they shipped them to me, came out perfect for half the price of a couple of other shops.

Rob Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 If I remember, that truck had a broken rear spring on the drivers side? Don't want that coming apart during a parade!I will just put some JB weld under it and glue it back down, then hold in place with some rusty fencing as a clamp !!! The left front is missing a spring too, since it has such heavy suspension I was going to have the spring packs redone and softened. I was talking with a place in KC and they can redo at a reasonable price and soften the springs to ride smoother since I am not going to pull anything that wont fit on my 14K, mostly my JD 60.Springs are overrated. Weld em up.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Shawn Barrett Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Thanks! Dont know how I missed this!Let me know how it turns out...That would be awesome if thats the correct size for you too. I cant imagine its gonna be too different. But if your Mack dealer is anything like mine they should have a quite a few of these available to get you where you need to be.

thomastractorsvc Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 My alternator came in today took it out and just like leversole said the generator pulley fit right on. Now I need to locate a 12" 1/2 bolt and a 6 inch piece of black pipe for the bottom mount. I was thinking of pulling the center bolt out of the generator mount and fabing up a piece of angle iron for the rear mount. I will have to see how much the bolt cost.
