Mike Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I would sure help you if I only knew that. But I went on e-bay and payed for a HUGE manual and payed a HUGE PRICE for a yellowed, peed on, out of sequenced, delapidated.......have I missed anything? The best manual I have for it, is a "MOTOR's" Manual. It also has other make trucks in that manual. Someone on this site probably has several and might give you one.Regardsmike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24367-vehicle-service-shop-manual-for-b-series-trucks/#findComment-112687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them your chassis number (on the front frame by the right spring shackle) and they will send you a whole pile of stuff. I got a huge service manual specific for B60's and it has EVERYTHING. Diagrams, measurements, torque specs, troubleshooting, it has it all. They like donations, I sent $20 but I'm going to send them more soon. The Mack Museum is definately the place to get anything B model related.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24367-vehicle-service-shop-manual-for-b-series-trucks/#findComment-112697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 I have the book from Mack Museum and several Motors Manuals I thought there would be some thing more unique specific that gets in to the "weeds" that covers componet rebuilds.

thomastractorsvc Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 I to seen a lot of service manuals on ebay for sale but they all had disclaimers on them about "An online source (NOT our information) suggests that this is applicable for B C DM F MB R & U Models" I would rather spend $60-$70 on my truck then buy a maunal that does not apply.

yarnall Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I have bought several B model manuals at the truck show in Macungie. They are big, thick books with green covers. You should make the pilgramage.Mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24367-vehicle-service-shop-manual-for-b-series-trucks/#findComment-112744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 I got an email from the Mack Museum this morning, Don said he could send the operator /service manual but I already have that. Rob is it true what the ebay auctions say that the TS-442 series covers the B model or it is the same info that is in the manual that comes from the Mack Museum?

Mine was printed in either 1965, or 1966 and hits into the B models a bit, but is still more heavy into the R series and later.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

heavyhauler Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Which components are you wishing to rebuild? Let me know and I will check our library of service manuals to see if the manuals contain the info that you need.John Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24367-vehicle-service-shop-manual-for-b-series-trucks/#findComment-113529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to work on that next but wanted to acknowledge your response first. Thank you.
