dogg rescue Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Our local fire department runs a 1984 MC Mack with a Hale pump. The other day, it made a hell of a noise and was unable to shift. This part is off the driveshaft into the midship pump. Any help finding this part would be greatly appreciated.

gearhead204 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Is the center keyed, or splined? if keyed a machine shop should be able to build one without too much hassle Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46829-fire-truck-down/#findComment-345785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Yes, should be easy enough to turn out of slug of steel. Looks like a companion flange from a transmission?

It sounds like they are talking to a machine shop about getting one made.

fxfymn Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 If you have a PN, you may try calling some of the major fire apparatus dealers in the hope of finding NOS. A competent machine shop should be able to make one in a very quick time frame. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

1958 F.W.D. Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 On 9/14/2016 at 1:04 PM, dogg rescue said: Yes, they say it's obsolete. Baloney. Which number did you call and who did you speak to? Calling Hale anymore is like calling AutoZone or O'Reilly Auto Parts- if the kid behind the counter can't look it up in the computer, he won't pull a book out and do it. Also try Supplee Brothers in Oreland, Pa. Ask for Daniel or Billy. If you get the machine leave a detailed message, someone will call you back. 2 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46829-fire-truck-down/#findComment-346533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogg rescue Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Thanks, FWD I will pass that along, I'm not the one calling on the part. The mechanic who is working on the truck is. He has been in contact with Hale before about this truck two years ago when he rebuilt the pump. He also talked to a pump supplier that had 4 used Hale pumps and all 4 had this part robbed off of them. The machine shop in town said they could build it, and even contacted Hale about getting the drawing specs, and Hale refused to release them.

This is my typical day at work> Making drawings of broken parts so we can make them new. Nothing that unique about that casting that shouldn't take but a few minutes with a set of calipers to make a drawing. I hope you get it taken care of. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
