Popular Post Robo987 Posted January 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2022 Figured I would finally take some time and say hi, been lurking here for awhile now. I recently bought a 1969 R600, has a winch bed with a 80k winch, tail roll, gin poles and a 5th wheel hitch. Been wanting a Mack for a very long time and finally found the one for me. It’s been sitting for about 10yrs as you can tell from the pic, it’s a little buried at the moment but will be bring it home in the near future when I get around to it. It needs some tlc obviously but it’s not trashed by any means. Anyways thanks for the great forum 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69005-hello-everyone/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob This thing has been sitting in this spot for about 10yrs, it used to be used a lot but times change and it just sat more and more until it went unused altogether. It’s never been kept in a garage the owner and the other guys that used it just took care of it. I make the third owner. 10 hours ago, 70mackMB said: Welcome to BMT and Happy New Year!

I think I’m a little past the hippy generation by about 30 yes or so lol. Just like Rmodels with a steel dash. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69005-hello-everyone/#findComment-486352 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs tires and the coolant hoses are old and leaking. Both seats need recovered and it has a silver dog on the hood. I don’t have to much info other than that the engine is an endt673c. I’ll be posting more stuff when it warms up a bit more and I get caught up on some priority projects. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69005-hello-everyone/#findComment-486414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I’ve seen it doesn’t need anything major just tlc and maintenance stuff. Gotta get some fuel filters and throw some batteries in it and see if she’ll fire up here in the next couple of weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69005-hello-everyone/#findComment-486416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 After sitting all that time I would remove all the injectors and shoot a bunch of mystery oil into the cylinders And let it sit a few days also remove the top oil line to turbo charger and shoot down there also and make sure pull off the shroud and spin the turbo charger several times by hand and make sure it is free and not Frozen before you do anything else good luck 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69005-hello-everyone/#findComment-486656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Also make sure you pump up the hand pump on the fuel line Make sure all the air is out otherwise it’s not going to start 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69005-hello-everyone/#findComment-486657 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a list of stuff I’m gonna go through and check out before I attempt to start it. It’s cold here so it might be a couple of months.

Plus I’m not gonna try and start that thing when it’s been sitting so long and it’s cold out. I’m pretty sure it needs a couple of coolant hoses replaced as well. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69005-hello-everyone/#findComment-486728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
