thomastractorsvc Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I sent them a message awhile ago and asked what the fit they had no clue and said to check with the Mack dealer, never did since the local one is not very helpful.

jakebrake86 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I remember my dad having a Valueliner with an air starter but I don't remember how it worked. Was the ignition switch essentially a valve or did it activate an electric over air solenoid?

Freightrain Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 $150 is not bad in my opinion for a new air starter. Even if it was electric. I'm learning as I get to installing one on my b model.Mine came with a manual valve. Updated versions use a solenoid valve activated by push button on dash.

57 bcr Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I was given an air starter by a guy who trucked in the '70's,last year.Another buddy of mine told me that same starter goes for $2400.00 now, in the real world!

Freightrain Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I would say that one on Ebay is for a drivers side starter. It would surely not fit a B model> Too long. But the motor portion looks just like the one I have. Auction says "5 available". If you know someone that ran air start...you could make some easy money on it.Wonder if Barry could tell us what it is suppose to fit?

thomastractorsvc Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I just called the Mack dealer to see what they would say, the parts guy that I spoke with said looks like it is for an MR I asked what motor and he said that needed a Vin# for an MR.

Freightrain Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 So we're basically talking a trash truck type vehicle. What variety of Mack came in those typically?

thomastractorsvc Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I would think the engines are all the same blocks right? and same starter mount?

ranchhopper Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Maybe its the cynic in me but the country of manufacture is not listed on the box and the fine print says new parts may or may not be in the original box you know what the old saying is if it seems to good to be true just saying be careful.
