    816 VS 819

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Can someone please help me. Yeah, And it's not a M62 crane. It is a M543. He also lists the rear winch at 65K only 45K. The V8 gas is a Leroy. I don't think they had a Mack gas. It was a Leroy gas or V8 Cummins diesel.

    Tow bar and a Deuce??

    Kenny, Let's not forget the safety chain. Also, I use the axle clamps(double roller chains) on the older WWII 1/2 and 3/4 tons. I just go right around the bumper. Real nice. John

    wrecker tow

    RE: Re: RE: Negative You need to look at where your pivot points are. The tow bar will ONLY pivot at the towing truck's pintle hook. The crane will ONLY pivot at the top of the bumper, whiffle tree, whatever. They are NOT in the same plane. I have picked up 5 tons that way. Picking up a 5...

    Mack manufactured M54A2?

    No Mack ENDT-673 came in a M54A2 from the factory. That is what the A1(Mack Engine) or A2( Multifuel Engine) mean. You will never see a M35A1. Only M35's and A2's. The difference is not just the engine, but also the transmission as well. The Macks have the overdrive transmission due to the...

    Does anyone have a old 800 series NHC 250 cummins water pump core? Mine on the M819 is starting to drip. I tried to get a rebuilt and the shop said that they don't have the cores. I didn't want to swap it out yet. I just wanted to have one ready to go. Thanks,

    Differences in compressor pullies for M35

    Not all compressor pulleys are the same. The multifuels are different that the 5 ton R6602. I know the fronts are different and I would assume the rear half is different due to the difference in the engines and belt alignment. You really need to do you homework when buying off ebay. John
