silverstar Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 hello, picked up a 76 transtar 4200, need a little help. someone pulled the front brakes off and i have no idea what axle i have, the drums and backing plates are still there, this truck has speedo in front axle backing plate. im looking for shoes,s cams, s cam tubs etc. I dont know if IH has a archive, historical or vintage division. Most dealers i have called as soon as you say "76 transtar" they loose interest. So if any one knows of a good dealer it would be great. The specs are, date 4-30-76-1, F4270, serial D2157FGA15301, 228 wb. I live near akron ohio so anyone with local parts or info would be great. Talked to one fella on redpower and he seemed to think the axle was a FA-329 dont really know what that get me. Also looking for a dashlight dimmer dial. any and all help would be greatly appreciated. will try to post pics. thanks again Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30995-need-help-with-transtar/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 If it's a tandem tractor,you don't need the front brakes by law .Anything built before Jan.1979 insn't required to have them unles it has only one rear axle or is a straight truck.. I sure wouldn't waste good money putting them back on.

j hancock Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Morrison and Sylvester International (207)783-8548 in Maine is the place to go for older parts.If the part is out there, they can find it. May take a couple of days to do so. Ask for Becky because she is the woman that knows what the hell is going on. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
