1951 Mack LJ Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I have owned the 1980 R model 5 yard Dump truck for over 12 years and just recently bought the 1987 Superliner. I work on everything myself but having troubles finding shop manuals. The 1980 R model 5 yard is double framed with the 237 and 8LL. The 1987 Superliner has the E9-500 12 speed and mack rears on camelback. Anyone out there with extra manuals they might part with would be greatly appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74334-r-model-manuals-needed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
67RModel Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Ebay is polluted with them depending on which specific manual you need. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74334-r-model-manuals-needed/#findComment-554992 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Plenty of copied manuals that are of good enough quality But a R model is about as simple as you can get and manuals really aren't that necessary I think there's also a lot of options so finding the correct manuals maybe a challenge, but close enough ahould be fine for almost everything Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74334-r-model-manuals-needed/#findComment-555003 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeH Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 (edited) https://macktrucks.vg-emedia.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=6488&GroupId=404 Free download from Mack on the E9 manual. Or you can go to your local dealer and have them order shop manual #5-102 Look through the Mack eMedia website, everything you need should available. There is no "book for R Models". The books are component specific. Engine, Trans, Rears, etc. There'll be a book on frames too I expect. There's books for the more modern engines and their computer systems too.

1951 Mack LJ Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Thanks for the info. I just get tired of guessing torque specs and things. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74334-r-model-manuals-needed/#findComment-555222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 there are standard charts for torque specs... just read the top of the bolt and compare it to the chart.. What you have will be in FtLb's and not angular torque.. Metal doesnt lie.. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74334-r-model-manuals-needed/#findComment-555223 Share on other sites More sharing options...
