609albert Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 also that's a nice pole building you have , we have a 42x52 Morton and are in the process of putting up an addition 42x60 for more MACKs of course.

monserandsons Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 when I found the split in the frame I kinda gave up almost two years ago, last year I got the d6, drilled the bellhousing for direct elec start and got it in the barn for a mechanical makeover(not full on resto)its got good chains but I need to spend some money. now ive got two machines apart and starting two feel overwhelmed. ive lost out on a ton of chances to make money with the Mack and refuse to let it sit there any longer, heres some pics of the d6, its done its time but its with me now, and be back in shape soon, after the Mack.cant seem to find a good picture from the side, will take some when I look for the # on the rails,thanks guys Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34200-new-guy-with-old-mack/page/2/#findComment-226392 Share on other sites More sharing options...
monserandsons Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 the right front fender wont swing out without removing the tw intake pipes, limiting sight to the engine tag. # on top of timing gear housing are not there? frame rail # are not there, maybe because of heavy rust? heres the tranny #'s x107 9h2968 11kba5936 bp13 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34200-new-guy-with-old-mack/page/2/#findComment-226590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 could have came out of a cabover, in which case the engine number would be stamped on the back of the block where the head meets the deck and not on the edge of the timing cover 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34200-new-guy-with-old-mack/page/2/#findComment-226630 Share on other sites More sharing options...

monserandsons Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hey guys, after numerous evaluations I have realized I'm kidding myself if I think I can cob it. The outer rail appears to be 1/4'', and the inner rail appears to be 3/16" thick. My question is if I purchase new rails can I go with just a 1/4" single rail? This would help keep cost down and simplify future maintenance. I also found a tag on engine's it saysCAMEROTA truck parts ID# 65342. There's a phone that I will call and see what they say. If been saving for that old D6 for some time but if been in contact with pg Adams and we will see what they can do for me. If purchasing rails is out of my future it might be on the market.thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34200-new-guy-with-old-mack/page/2/#findComment-230738 Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stacksuperdog Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Well like said before maybe weld it up and clean it up a bit since those trucks are overbuilt.

monserandsons Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 theres no welding to it. maybe I sugar coated it?does anyone have a frame they would sell or trade? I have some neat things. but I don't want junk for junk. I will make some calls but looks like it might be getting cut up.
