DCR Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I am looking at a 1986 MH613 with Mack rears. Forged in the housing is 64KH595 P4. Can anyone tell me the rating of this rear end. It is a tandem. Quote Denny330-550-6020A "Mack Pack" Charter Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 There is a machined pad on the right front corner of the carrier that will have the ratio stamped in it. Don't think you can get the ratio from the casting number.Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

br549 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 By looking at the spring box on the passenger rear it appears to be alum. The springs are camelback and if i was guessing it would be a 34,000. Drinking milk here. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No if I get it I will keep it as a road tractor. It needs a lot of TLC but can be bought for scrap price. Not sure if I need another project. Thanks for all of the help everyone.

blackdog2 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Ive seen factory small double frame tractors people put lift axle on with a15.5 dump body frame didn't last long .I had three 82 r- models where the frame broke right under the drivers seat pulling gas tankers. End up stretching and double the frame from front to rear with all new rails & x members Quote Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Denny - if you decide to NOT buy the MH, let me know. Perhaps there are some cab parts I can use. Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullhusk Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 My dad's is a converted tractor with 38k's and it does fine. Total truck/cargo is 54k.If you have 38's in back with a 10 or 12,000 lb front your still under the 54k. If you have maybe a 10 yd body and gross around 50k I guess it would be ok but I have seen some a these guys put 70,000 on these and you can smell the brakes and gear oil when they come in to dump there loads!BULLHUSK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
