Carting house sections with a V8 Mack
Переглядів 2,2 тис.3 місяці тому
In this video, I put together snippets of videos and photos from the last couple of months carting house sections to northern and western NSW. The work has kept me pretty busy, and has made it hard to get new material together to make a video for the channel, so I thought I’d give you an insight into the work I’ve been doing. Thanks for having a look guys 🙏🏻
Stuck injector pump. Mack 350hp. Will it be ok? Is it usable? #mechanic #macktrucks
Переглядів 2,5 тис.4 місяці тому
In this video, I attempt to free up a stuck injector pump off a Mack 350 4 valve 6 cylinder engine. If I can resurrect the stuck pump, I’m hoping to fit it onto a Valueliner engine that has had a recent pump failure. Wish me luck!! Thanks Sutto for lending me the truck initially, and for allowing some footage and photos.

    • @oldrigsdownunder7301
      @oldrigsdownunder7301 3 дні тому

      Was it a 350? I’ve seen the P type injector pump fitted to those engines let fuel into the oil if the delivery valve nuts are a bit loose on the top of the pump. Otherwise it could be the injector o-rings.

    Mate is there somewhere online that has a calendar of all these events, I almost missed the Mack muster and now I’ve missed Ivanhoe. But thank you for taking us for a walk around the site and narrate on what’s what to the best of your knowledge. And I know you’d probably want us truck nuts away from your gear but if your ever looking for volunteers to help move your gear to shows etc let us know.

    • @oldrigsdownunder7301
      @oldrigsdownunder7301 3 дні тому

      G’day mate, the HCVC page on Facebook is probably the best supporter and advertiser of truck shows that I can think of. Because they have members across most states, it seems to be a good place to promote a show. Thanks for the heads up on moving a bit of gear around, the next Mack Muster will probably be show that I try to take a number of trucks too, so I’ll keep you posted. But any time you want to go for a run or take one of the trucks for a drive just give me a yell.

    Thanks Dave enjoyed the show,in 1974 i started an apprenticeship with the E&WS department in Adelaide,as the SA state water and sewerage authority they had big machinery and they 4 B61 macks pulling Drake low loaders complete with winches to pull the trailer goose neck back up onto the prime mover.They also had Atkinsons ERF,s and Foden mostly Gardeners newer ones had Cummins ,was funny when the B61 were in the shop for service and repairs non of the mechanics could drive the twin stick Mack box so the driver would have to do the road test with the mechanic sitting in the passenger seat,as a mechanic thought you might get a laugh at this story ,was such a fun time in life thats why its so satisfying to see these old rigs still going Cheers kym Adelaide
