Well, much sadness but I sold my M52a2. It went to a good home. So I pulled my M813 out of mothballs and want to get going on it to ease my pain of loss .
This truck is missing some parts but the big item is the air cleaner. Someone hacked an M39 series onto it so I need to get the correct...
Ok, just read every single page on this. If I am to understand this correctly the govt wantsHemtts back so Oshkosh can rebuild them for more service...
if this is correct then why is there two up for auction
As an owner of both, most of what's posted here is true but one thing not discussed. The radiators in the M39 series Mack powered are hack jobs and not nearly big enough. If you are just gonna use it for a toy, it's fine. Plan on working it hard, expect overheating problems and good luck finding...
First of, which engine do you have ? LDS ? Some of these had Mack motors. It could be a cracked head as well. I would do a pressure test and maybe pull the injectors to see which cyl. Any coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant ? You could have the antifreeze sample analyzed. is there bubbling...
There is only one proper way to test a glowplug. Take them out, make a set of small jumpers and put power to each one and look at it(don't touch the end or you will get burned). It should glow nice and hot at the TIP. if it does not glow or glows in the middle, it's junk.
I got two trucks with NHC250s in them. They both have a little out the breather. It's normal. Remember these are 30+ year old trucks that probably were not treated well and also sat. When it started puking oil out then worry. Even the 6bt's have catch cans on them from the factory....
I have to say this year was great. Randy and Scott were awesome and helped me unload on Friday morning. Everyone was very nice, My son made some new friends and had an awesome time. It's too bad we don't live closer. It was probably the last time me and a few of my show buddies will all be in...
My only issue so far will be when I go home broke tomorrow after telling my wife how much I was gonna make...:)
please stop by and buy some deuce stuff and save a life !!!
Been here since Thursday. Spent more than I made...lol but I gotta say the folk here are great. Randy and Scott were super with getting me unloaded and my son made some new friends and is having a great time.
ct dmv/dot busts balls on that one which really pisses me off because not one oil truck that I have ever seen in act has one and if a car goes under the back of an oil truck it's got a long way to before it hits tires and will probably burn to death in fire after they rip the 2inch pipe...
Ok been playing with this thing for awhile and still trying to figure out what I actually have. Someone told me the windshield hinges indicated it's a mid 60's IHC gasser that was converted to a Mack driveline. Judging by the horrible conversion, that looks to be accurate. All the holes for the...
