oldspwr Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I am in the process of restoring a 1970 E361T Brockway for my Dad and have been working on the dash lately. My Dad seems to remember that years ago Mack used a round chrome knob that read "Engine Stop", similar to the Hot Water Control valve knob. He believes they were either in B model or possibly an R model. Can anybody verify this for me? Any help would be appreciate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Wow! Nice job on the Brockway! The engine stop cable assembly was used on the B's and early R's. I actually used one off a scrap B-model cowl.The cables had been cut when the cab was removed from the chassis.I was able to use lawn mower throttle cable w/ its conduit,to replace the cable in it.The one in my truck was rusted/pitted and the one off the B was in pretty good shape,chrome wise.Did the same with the throttle cable. Alot of the B's and early R's have been replaced as Jim says with the newer red plastic assemblies.

maxidyne237 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Tom, they are not available new but as said in above posts they were used in B models and early R models. I will have to look but I might have a used one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 they were in the B models and the early R models. they were available up til a few years ago, Barry here at Watts and Tidawater Mack use to sell them but i think they are NLA. would like to get a few spare myself for a few project trucks as i dont care for the newer style red knob.

Superdog Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 A few of my B models also had an "Emergency Engine Stop",same round pull cable set up,located in the lower left corner of the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 yea, my B613 had the hole with the pushed out metal where the Emergency engine stop was on the left of the dash. think they did away with those around 1960. i have one of those cables somewhere used actually but most of the injection pumps i have dont have the provision to hook it up.
