Freightrain Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 wtf is with the line through my post??If you look closely at the box of options where you type your post, there is an option "S". Apparently you might have drug your mouse over it and clicked it by mistake. It puts a line through your words. Only works in that one post. Its default is no line.

I ended up resorting to Huck Bolts Cousin Rob got me.. PaulOk, Paul, I put it on my plan list. I worry only the equipement is to heavy for carry it in my hands from airport and I have to live in your shop for some monthes with a crew of 3 guys I worked with. I also had bolts on my mind but it was plan "B". And if there were bolts used I probably had it done in 4 times faster (really).

thomastractorsvc Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 VladGood work, was it difficult to get the rivets and equipment or can you get everything local like at tool store or parts place or could you get them made local at a resonable cost?

Vladislav Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 VladGood work, was it difficult to get the rivets and equipment or can you get everything local like at tool store or parts place or could you get them made local at a resonable cost?Good question.When we say 'local' about Russia we can not get many common things there. I live in the capital and it makes life more and more easy then for example in 100 km from.Everything is terrible centralized overhere. Because of most oil money (money are mostly oil and other exports) going through Moscow. The firm I ordered the tool from works in the city collecting orders and trading some little units. Production plant locates in Irkutsk, Siberia, near lake of Baikal. So Moscow office got my order and backed me my tool in 6 or 7 weeks. For a market price as production equipement. As for rivets, I had to look internet and found out metal sales office. Local, they selling for privat constructions and local productions, you can buy starting from one piece - any kind of steel of 6 or 12 meters long. Market price for steel, nearly $1200/metric ton. About the rivets was another story. I have a friend who's restorer. He has a contact with somebody at big machinery plant. So they fabricated them with computer operated lathe. Not too expensive. Although I probably would be able to order them from any local processing company for a bit higher worth.

Vladislav Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 I had no idea what you were restoring but I liked it already. I figured it was some army vehicle from the paint. Love the truck VladIt's of course.Model NR, produced during WW2 from 1940 until 1945. Most were supplied under Lend Lease to Great Britain, Middle East, Australia and other allied countries. Some also came to Russia, probably 700 units. The one I'm working on is from that bunch. Only one survived as I know. NR model was basicaly the same as L, something like LGSW or LJSW. I'm trying to relate them by some units and weight ratings but it's a reason for one more thread. As you know commercial truck's production was interrupted on Mack from 1942-1944. So interruption of current L series was filled of similar kind NR and NM militaries.I also love the truck Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Very nice work. What make is the riveter? Wonder how much that cost?The riveter is cose to be custom made, they fabricate them on special order. Originally it's application is fixing of special suspension part of rail road wagons. The company's specialisation is hudraulic equipement - big jacks, presses and so on including rail road services. As for the cost the press was a bit more than you payed for the rear bogie Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Outstanding restoration. What hunk of Iron powers the NR?The power source is a misterious unit.It called Mack ED Lanova. It's probably the first Mack own produced diesel. Has 519 ci and 131 hp. Pre-chambers and pre-heaters in head's air inlets.The mistery is what other Mack trucks it was used in. As I noted to myself it was somewhere in early (30's) B models but haven't heared about any under L's hoods.
