eddeere Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Can anyone tell me what these were used for . Some type of support for heater hoses ? If so what the complete setup looked like . Thanks. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51741-673-manifold-posts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Interesting. I know mine didn't have anything like that. The heater hoses just hung in space. I always wondered how long those old copper lines would last before they cracked. Never did. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

eddeere Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Thanks . The Mack Model B photo archives has a picture of a END 672 engine with the two posts like mine. My engine had rubber heater hoses hanging all over. Just want to clean things up some. Thought about using these as some type of support. When I go to a show get to see a lot of trucks but never the engines.

HarryS Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Ed, Here is a picture of the heater hose set up. Opps it wouldn't let me attach. I'll send it in an email and try attaching later.

davehummell Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 On my engine there is a heat shield mounted onto those two studs Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51741-673-manifold-posts/#findComment-385587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Mine b67 has a heat shield also. My heater hoses are on the other side of the motor. The rear stud is a bolt and has a bracket that holds the dipstick. The front one is a stud.

thomastractorsvc Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Should be a heat shield then the hard copper heater lines on top. The studs secure the shield and clamps that hold the hard lines. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."
