Popular Post Joey Mack Posted February 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2022 I am a nut when it comes to shop manuals, They are priceless to me. They never need batteries, or a WiFi signal to operate.. and they are portable as well,, What a concept !! I have a Midliner svc manual coming on tuesday. #526S In the pics, the table with the tranny and rear end books, is one of 3 complete sets that I have.. 2 sets dont even have my greasy finger prints in them...

mowerman Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Oh they’re gods gift to mankind that’s how I learned automatic transmission but a manual at Chief auto parts years and years ago yes sir it’s still in pretty good shape and yes no fingerprints either ha ha…. I even have one for a Briggs & Stratton and they really get down with the fine print and detail Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBWhite Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 wow that's a lot of info! Thats time and money well invested in my opinion! And I know that $40 isn't that bad when your considering that it might take 10 grand in parts to restore it, but I just really like reading these manuals and it sucks that the BMT wiki links are mostly broken (I blame Volvo). from what I remember the truck still had its manual but the mice made it into a biohazard. that's why I wish this worked.

Popular Post BOBWhite Posted March 25, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2022 Went and saw the old Mack today. Uncle did a real good job of vacuuming all the mouse nests out of it and repaired a lot on it. Be nice to have it now with fuel being $5 a gallon and all. She looks rough but at least she's being used. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Too bad the MH's didn't have time to reach their full potential. They would probably be in there third generation by now with options up the wazoo! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly having to jack up the cab and having the jack hoses fail! and hitting my head on the cab steps !😡 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBWhite Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 Went out to my uncles to see some family for Memorial Day. Walked over to our old Mack we sold him, I don't know how I never noticed this but someone before us took out the air bags for the cab and put metal spacers. Well no wonder it rides so rough!! Shouldn't they look more like the ones in the other pic? I might be all wet but I thought all Mh's came with air ride cabs from the factory. Where could someone find a set of these bags and shocks? Also I never noticed that someone took out the Mack Transmission that was original to the truck and put an Eaton in sometime in its past. I really didn't pay much attention to the truck when we had it I guess! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
