Bypass fuel filters and run on a clean drum of fresh fuel , old filters can be rotten and send paper /crap thru pump .

My uncle drove an R series dump truck when I was a kid, the R series was the first truck model that I built too. I also worked at a Mack dealer in the nineties,boring ! I think they quit looking good after the Super and Cruise liners. Love it !
Dam that sounds awesome for the engine not running for twenty years. The Mack engine sound, brings back a lot of memories. I drove the Mack R and U model series trucks for years. They run for ever, great job guys, well done.
Only from a true truck driver, the sound of the Maxidyne is one of the prettiest beautiful sounds ever to hear❤ My dm600 sounded so beautiful, Dad told us not to cut the dump trucks off, I miss. My life with Macks
joe ole girl soundin good. can't wait to hear her through some straight pipes. That thing all fixed up is gonna be cool to see. Stay safe and keep truckn
Awesome job man! Its great to see you learning as you go. Keep it up man. I do trucks and heavy equipment work in South Jersey. Ill be on the lookout for some old mack parts for you.
The best thing you can do is ask a old time Mack mechanic about those early 70s V8 Mack engines if my Uncle Rudy was still with us he would get that engine running for you and drive to Philly to help he was a walking encyclopedia with diesel engines Mack Cat Detroit Cummins Perkins
❤❤ When I was waiting for my load of sand at the sand pit, my Dad drove up. Another man was starting a business hauling and he used K,Ws. They were pretty. I said Daddy, let's get some dump trucks like Sonny's. We were all Mack. Daddy said" you are in the truck made for our kind of work, those trucks Sonny has are sooner then later going to blow a rear. Of course, Daddy was right. He even built a thermodyne" Big Red, when I was young,like grade school. She was beautiful. She pulled our lowboy and Cats. She was stole one night by a drunk. The drunks drove her off a cliff and lived to face Daddy. Too bad for them, haha. She still sits behind our shop, a burnt out shell, but I will never let her go.❤❤❤
Hello Joe I got the dtees waiting for your next video that’s the way to do it joe take it apart find out how it works figure it out old school baby any body can get somebody to do it but you do it yourself save the money and get that satisfaction the smile on your face says it all thank you ken
Yes you do have something special,, I grew up in B-61s then dm models, R models and the most beautiful bad to the bone 78 Superliner pulling our bad ass lowboy and our bad ass cats. Dad built roads, we didn't pave them,E.steward Mitchell paved. Barton Mitchell was a friend of Dad's. Yes, you have a Real lady there❤
Sweet. Must be r model day. I was just working on the farms rd 686sx today. 300hp e6 2v. Wiring for the headlights were shot and the engine shutoff cable snapped. Only way to learn sometimes on the older equipment is dive into it. Mistakes will be made but only way to learn. Ebay has mack manuals from this Era quite a bit. 442 manual from 67on should have everything for the 864 in them. They made multiple manuals tho. Some have only drive line and cab. The others have engine and trans.
@@Only4Trucks I keep forgetting to check mine for you. I'll get the publication date for you. I found mine on ebay for 20 bucks. The 865 section I'm mine is pretty black from finger prints. Looked like a popular subject in the book.
I'm a Master Plumber by trade for over 30 years, but like you, I work on all kinds of things trying to figure things out. There is a lot of "critical thinking" in my trade and what you're doing there is no different. There is a "self satisfaction " when you can fix or get something working again. Btw...I was gonna suggest you putting heat on that nut...as we Plumber's use heat to un-cease things all the time. I enjoy the content, even though I'm not a trucker...but I do enjoy Big Rigs, and old trucks. I'm waiting to see you around, since I don't live far from you, if I do, I'll introduce myself.
Nice work gettin her running. little bit crusty huh, you got some work ahead of you but with your determination you’ll get it where you want it. Enjoyed watching you guys
Thank you! Just a bit crusty lol we will be doing our best and I appreciate you recognizing my determination! I'm glad you enjoyed watching and I appreciate it. There will be plenty to come!
@@Only4Trucks sure thing man. I’m going to make a video soon walking around our yard and just a quick look at some of the trucks. There are three R700s. I ran them on a job site maybe 15-16 years ago. One is a 71 steel dash, in nice shape really, V8 with a 5 speed. The rack is stuck in the fuel pump on that one. Maybe it’ll be a project in the future. That’s why I’m interested in what you’re doing with yours.
Hey Joe !! Thanks for the video & GOOD that your Pump restore did well to get the ""OL"" MACK running again !! How many ""RAT"" houses did you find so far ??? Waiting to see you drive down the road with it !!! 👍👍👍👍👍
If you're not happy about covering an intake stopping a runaway, the absolute best is a small hand portable CO2 fire extinguisher. Fire that down the intake and the engine will stop completely.

Henry Hansch I remember as a kid seeing his other trucks going up and down route 10 in East Hanover been a Mack truck nut since I was a kid my buddy has a 1988 RD 600 K I drive for him time to time dump trucking has changed so much it ain’t like the 1980s-90s anymore plastic trucks auto gear boxes no more old school Mack’s Autocars Brockway Diamond Reo’s White 9000 trucks anymore I see this older guy though every afternoon on Route 80 west driving a late 70s Autocar DK 64 B tandem dump truck cherish that old BullDog Mack cause they do not make them like that anymore
Because that’s the correct thing to do……ALWAYS check it shuts down , its the first thing you do after starting a diesel ….new/old/rebuilt / no history . Seen too many people start diesels then run around in blind panic trying to shut it down because of seized shut down lever/cable/whatever . It’s 100% the right thing to do.

the camera reacts to the frequency of the light, that's why it flickers. Also love thE Mack r series!
Ahhh gotcha! And we love them too!
My welding helmet does the same thing. Led light flickers and cause it to darker. Really annoying
Engine sounded nice
Yes it does!
That 865 is pretty neat! I remember seeing one on the mack trucks forum back in 2016 or so in a Cruiseliner. Outta be a pretty rare engine by now.
It's very rare. I have one. There is nearly zero info on them
Thank you! I agree it's pretty rare

About time! 😁

Area diesel in Illinois for anything injection pumps injectors they are great with the old ones
Great video! Did you check the running oil pressure? V8 sounds stout!
I did it's idling around 40psi. Seems healthy!😊
34:38 Better safe than sorry brother!
Absolutely!
Let it run.
Absolutely!!!
I believe they had rotary fuel pumps not exactly sure the fuel plunger would get stuck on them soak it some diesel fuel and transmission oil
Some did and some had these v style pumps.
That’s cool that filter box is a Farr Dynacell air cleaner is that a 866-865 V8
It is an 865! I will be changing out the box style air filter
Heck yeah good to the ole dog bark again
Absolutely! She's barking for sure!
Grab some Seafoam or Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme and dope the fuel up. It'll unstick anything stuck in the fuel system
I definitely will! Can't hurt for sure!
If you're not happy about covering an intake stopping a runaway, the absolute best is a small hand portable CO2 fire extinguisher. Fire that down the intake and the engine will stop completely.
Wow good to know! Would it do any damage or I guess atleast need to be cleaned out afterwards

Looks like it might have been a old Roadway express tractor
Yea I'm not too sure. I know it was an old lowboy truck from north jersey
Dude, where have you been?
I've been busy but I will be putting another video out explaining where I've been and where I'm going with the channel!
Is that a R 795 they had the 865 I believe be careful with those early model V8’s a lot of problems with them do not turn them up neither
Yea I hear alot about them not lasting, I won't be turning it up. There's just no need
the dynatard engine brake they where ok I liked the Jake better those dynatards can be real touchy sensitive stall a truck quick
I agree the Jacobs were better for sure
Had one those old dogs was 73 865 or 325hp was sorry ass engine overhauled it 2 times at 100,000 miles had good power but cost to much
That's awesome! I hear that about these engines. Luckily I won't really be working it
@@Only4Trucks did the R model come with an optional Detroit engine? I heard that it might have
He needs a 🤬 jar every time he says the F word you get $1 then you can put that money back into the truck Joe 🤣🤣
