davehummell Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 You were lucky I went to two different injection repair shops and called all over the place and I found no help on my old 673 pump and injectors. I finally tracked down Keven All and I bought good parts from him. Your truck is looking very good. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66562-h-model-restoration/page/2/#findComment-472399 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Axalta 77968 which is their match for classic Mack 400 red. I like it too!

Yeah, I was actually surprised to find this shop...a couple of people I know recommended them. It's Purrformance Diesel in Fredericktown Ohio.

Freightrain Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Agree, my local shop wanted gold bullion to get into my 237 pump. I left it alone. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Popular Post h67st Posted April 16, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2021 I had new bushings pressed into the front spring hangers for the cab pivot bar, of course the hangers didn't come out exactly square with each other once I bolted them on. I bought this handy sanding drum for my drill from McMaster Carr for $4.00, it made short work of ovalling the holes to get the bar to fit. The bar is 1" diameter, but the center tube is 1-1/8" ID so I knew there'd be much rattling going on there. I looked around for something to fill up the space, an old plastic tailpiece from a kitchen sink drain filled the bill. I slotted it on my table saw to make it small enough, and it's springy enough to hold itself in place while I install the bar. Here's the bar and cab brackets all installed. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66562-h-model-restoration/page/2/#findComment-472580 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post h67st Posted April 23, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2021 I found my front driveshaft had eaten a u-joint at some point before I got the truck and they put a new joint in even though the bore was trashed. The driveshaft shop found a new yoke, replaced the tube, and balanced it, all for about $250 so not too bad. The 1710 u-joints were $55 each. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66562-h-model-restoration/page/2/#findComment-472844 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayseed Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 You're Doing very Nice Work. Instead off Die grinding those new Cab Pivot Bushs, I would 've loosened all the Nuts & bolts on both Spring hangers, Installed the Rod & Cab mount Brackets & then Tightened the Spring hanger Bolts Up. But to each His Own.. You'll have a very Nice Truck when Completed.. PS: I've sent you a PM..

Popular Post h67st Posted May 11, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2021 I got my treadle valve back today. I couldn't find one reman or new but I found Precision Rebuilders in Missouri will rebuild them for $187.00. The nice thing is they had it back to me in one week, so many other things I've had done take months to get back. It's a Bendix type D or D-1 (not sure which), part number is 223192. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66562-h-model-restoration/page/2/#findComment-473725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
