Popular Post thomastractorsvc Posted November 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2014 Found this one on here someone posted it from CL in Colorado.Worked out a deal and she made it to my place last night in the dark. Was going to go get her a couple weeks ago but the weather was getting tricky and cold and did not want to have problems out in the middle of Kansas with the wind blowing and 30 below. She is pretty straight has a cummins and a 13 speed the cab is complete and looks like it will need some elbow grease and warm weather but I think it will clean up, all the doors and windows seem to work and so does the radio. Need to rotate the fuel tanks a little, I think they were turned up to prevent stealing but not for sure. It will also need some front tires before long. 12 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 The air ride cab is an add on but seems to work good, drove it into town for fuel, not used to driving like I stole it but that's the only way the tranny and engine wants to shift, way different than the KW with the 13 speed. The KW shifts like the 1980 R with the 6 speed rev it up and shift when it drops low on RPM. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

thomastractorsvc Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Anyone know where the engine stamp sn# on a cummins is located when the data plate is missing? Was on ebay looking for a service manual went out to the truck and popped the hood and the data plate is missing climbed on it for a fewminutes and found this.I think the wiki is wrong it says by truck SN (RWL766LST39600) it should be a NTA 400 ISC but from what I can find on the interweb that ISC engine never came out until mid 80's and the pictures of an NTA 400 I could find online don't match the one in the truck. Of course I understand that the engine may have been swapped but waiting on the Mack Museum for verification from the build sheet, that aside want to start getting some manuals ordered so I can start poking around on her before body work.

Pawel Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hello!Congratulations on the new truck and good luck with it! Great pics also - could you please post more photos of the engine compartment? They would help me a lot with my model (although the build is on hold for now). Thanks in advance and have a nice dayPaweł Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right engine is a NTC400,although I would think being a '78 it would be a big cam 1 or 2. I'm not up on all the Cummins CPL numbers,the engine in my '86 is a Big Cam 4 CPL676.

b61mack Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Look on the fuel pump for a tag sometimes it has the CPL# on it. www.powerlinecomponents.com has a list of CPL#s starting with #1, go to overhaul kits by CPL#s should get you there.

fifth wheel Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 On the block LH side top back near the number 6 cylinder. with that number any Cummins dealer can get you all the data when built. I use A&R diesel for most all my Cummins needs.FW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyodog Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Awesome! I am glad that deal worked out for you. I wasn't able to make a deal on the other one. But glad you got your hands on that one. I was going to call back. Talking to the guy he said he had another superliner in the back with a blown clutch. Might be worth looking at.

felicello122 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 That looks like a newer cummins with the double oil filter, the earlier ones only had one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 I bought some hood alignment bumper/pins yesterday as one was broken, hopefully today I can get them on and try and find the engine number.
