leversole Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 $62 dollars for these three items! Not complaining though, I'd be dead in the water if they did not have them on the shelf!I broke the door handle taking it off, got a new washer tank from Watts and it came with a modern plug so no pigtail! And the door lock keeper was rusty and jacked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umodelnut Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 We bought cab mount bolts for the U model at the Mack dealer. If I remember correctly two bolts, two nuts, two rubbers and two of them big washer thingys was almost 80 bucks. When we went to put them in..................we realized we got the wrong ones too!!! How's that? So we went to Napa the next day, got some good correct sized bolts for a lot cheaper, and they are perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only place you can get the bulbs from was at International. No other place had them or had ones like them... They are $14.00 EACH! and they are about the size of your pinky nail... Absolutely ridiculous but nothing you can do...Tom Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicrop10 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I was just out on Watts website to check out some of the prices for the parts I will be needing for my B87 tractor. Now I am not complaiining at all, because if I was needing these for say my CL700 tractor I'ld be paying atleast the same if not more.I do have some of the parts that I had gotten many years ago before Watts was having them,this was when Tidewater Mack had them.It is what it is,if you want to run a BIG DOG then you just grin and bear it.I will be calling Watts in the next couple om months when I get further along with the doors and the cab.

hicrop10 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Rick Harper,no truer words have been said.I'm going to spend the money for the parts I need and won't complain about because it what I choose to do.How many other so-called truck manurfactor give back to their end user like Mack does.They put on one hell of a show this past fall.I didn't see any donations buckets anywhere.How many other manurfactors have a antique museum that you can call up and ask for and get information on your truck.Like the Big Dog saysALWAYS WAS,STILL IS,ALWAYS WILL BE the king of the road.Just my 2 cents worth.Mike Durkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
