    Memories for us old truckers

    Wonder what it had for engine(s)? Just so happens I have book that lists a 1LLD as having two NHRS Cummins and being a 50 ton truck. Then again that one shown is being called a "Western 80" which I believe refers to the trailer section not the tractor. I'm having a hard time believing two...

    1990 Mack RD wiring info

    Not sure of the year this was from but best I have. It was too big to fit on scanner so I scanned it as two images. One could print out both images and then splice they together. Also I scanned at a good resolution so if view on computer it should be easier to read. Like Truck Shop says this is...

    Memories for us old truckers

    Sometimes one can just be at the right place at the right time. The day after I graduated from high school I started working at the quarry where my dad worked most of my life. Just shoveling und conveyors and other manual labor. Did that for a couple summers while going to community college...

    Am I missing it or was he working under that boom with no supports? And even if he was not at that point working on it why was the boom left up and unsupported? Looks like there is some blocking available right next to the machine.

    Has anyone else heard this?

    In the 40+ years I worked on equipment a the quarry I think I could count on one hand the number of ring gears I had to replace. I think most were damaged by a faulty starter drive. As to always stopping at the same place I could see that a four cylinder engine might tend to stop in one or two...

    CAT D6C info

    That last picture that says D6 Series C, look around it and see if there are any letters or numbers stamped in the block as often Cat stamped the S/N right in the block very close to where that tag is mounted. At least the machines here in the USA were done that way.

    Overload of the Day

    Just saw that on the nightly news. I hope they throw every thing they can at that guy and he never is allowed behind the wheel of anything more than a kids peddle car!

    I recall seeing an old manual transmission Euclid do that when driver stalled it going up a hill loaded. Lucky someone near by knew to kill it then restart before any major damage was done. Do recall it pushed some of the oil out of the oil bath air filter!

    Cat D6R Mystery wires corroded. What do they do?

    I tried to look but my SIS access is now limited so I can not view schematics or any thing other that parts book and not even sure how much of that!:(

    Kenworth or Mack

    Okay then, I'll just have to make 12 to 15 trips to carry that much. I get paid by the hour so why rush it? ;)

    Now if we are talking off-highway trucks, Euclid! 74TD! 12V-71 Detroits screaming away all day!

    Kenworth or Mack

    I too prefer Macks mainly be cause 90% of the trucks I worked on were Macks, company owned a Mack dealership at on time! Also the Macks the company had were 100% Mack other than the dump bodies that is. Not something assembled out of a catalog of truck parts from various manufactures. Sure some...

    Clark 75 Brakes

    Any chance of a picture or two of this brake master/booster? Been many years since working on air over hydraulic brake which is what I think you are describing. While by todays standards they might not be too impressive but should be at least adequate if machine is used with care.

    Back to the JD axle "repair" one of the jokes used at the shop was: "Just jack up the radiator cap and roll a new loader under it!"

    I could give my suggestion for a test, but it would leave a bad taste in your mouth!

    Case 1845 Uniloader neutral problem

    Also note that there are pins that come out from the inside of frame and lock in holes in the center gear to act as a parking brake. If the linkage/cables that work those pins are out of adjustment you can cause major damage to the machine. Also any slop in the linkage to the drive pumps from...
