WILL IT PUSH START? Old MACK Truck

[@Jsc843]

I bought chances to win the Peterbilt and never heard who won. I’ve asked a couple of times and nobody answers me. Can you please tell me who won the Peterbilt?

[@Bruce_Wilson]

Winner will be announced in the next week or so. This takes time as our sweepstakes agency has to wait for the mail in entries to arrive and count those also!

[@shawnjarman9860]

@@Bruce_Wilsonno need to wait, just tell everyone I won the cabover! 😂 at least I’m hoping and praying

​@@Bruce_WilsonHello I'm interested in purchasing a European truck for the American market how do I go about it. Does anyone have any links to any companies that would be able to sell me one I'm looking for one or two to purchase in cash 💯 thanks

[@AndToTheRepublic4WhichItStands]

The winner is always the first one to know. Weeks in advance before the announcement too. So if you haven't got the call it's pretty safe to say you did not win.

[@whitewb28t87]

The big canister is a Luberfiner oil filter. There is a filter inside and it holds 2 gallons of oil. It is very likely a model 750B, the model number is stamped in the middle of the cannister. You can still get the filters. And I would definitely replace the hoses on the bottom if they look rotten.

Old Macks never die, they just end up being awaken in a KZbin video after a long sleep. That old dog has been asleep for a long time. She'll wake up and run. Bruce there's a guy who does restorations on B model Macks named Matt Phal in PA I believe. He may be able to give you some tips on the pump. He has a website last time I checked, Phal restorations.

[@HackeryX]

Bruce wearing gloves to clean out whatever was in that truck Also Bruce uses mouth to remove gloves way to go Bruce

[@peterphillips1493]

Yea protect your hands from dirt and then put the protection devices in your mouth.no point wearing them unless he gets his hands manicured. He

[@oldrigsdownunder7301]

G’day Bruce. You’re on the right track with the stuck fuel rack. It’s in the no fuel position. You need to lubricate where the rack spins each barrel and plunger. Once it’s lubricated, gently pry it or tap it forward. If you get it to move forward, you may need to tap it backwards through the plug in the cover from the front end. If it’s really tight you may need to spin the engine over while you’re prying it forward, but make sure you have the injector lines loosened first so it doesn’t accidentally start while the rack is still forward. I have a video on my channel old rigs down under on a Mack 6 cylinder pump. It might help you out. No need for ether. Good luck mate.

[@scottcannell5584]

Hi Bruce there is an actual Mack truck factory in Australia. In Brisbane Australia. They have been building Mack's for the Australian market for over 40 years. 😊🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Oh, thank God it’s finally nice to see that a company from my country has been rightfully given to a close allied country love from the US ❤️

[@tyronejohns9217]

Wow Bruce it took time 😲 too get this truck running condition knew it would take another video for this classic tractor to start..!!

[@FLGuy777]

Had a 1981 Datsun 720 with a naturally aspirated 2.2-liter diesel. It had the pump on the fuel system to bleed the air. Best invention for those back in the day.

Bruce im pretty sure that the thing between the seats is what switches between 12 volt and 24 volts just make sure that you replace all of the bad cables because just about all of the factory wiring harness is copper wrapped in cloth and for sure all of the cloth wrapping is brittle and will fall apart as soon as you touch them!!!!! It's super easy to make your own harness yourself or several different places sell just about everything you need to rebuild that old mack

[@stallion955]

Bruce it would be so cool if you restored that old mack new paint job you gotta think about it theres not many left like that in the world don't let the iconic history die save this beautiful old girl give her a new life

[@Green-ader]

Make it navy blue and the chassis black, rims and bumpers orange

[@Lifewiththeredmons]

On the Mack forum it says to soak down in pb blaster stick a flat screwdriver in and peck them down and they may free up it was a 8 yr old post but he said it worked. On his B61.

[@Lifewiththeredmons]

Brother the reason that truck was parked was Cowboy probably got it for a project for one day on a trade or something but that man had more junk than he knew what to do with that place where you pulled the white superpower out of used to be stacked from one corner to the other line up along the roadway plumb back into the woods it looks like a completely different place since they cleaned it out. I used to look like some sort of scrap yard or something when you drive up through there but there was tons of actual treasures in there and old trucks like that just really neat stuff that he got along the years you just had to get through some of the junk to find it. Also that Mack was pulled up on that Hill sometime in the last 12 years for sure I just don't know if it was running then.

[@AndToTheRepublic4WhichItStands]

It's pretty cool seeing it has a two peice exhaust manifold (to prevent manifold cracking) just like the newer dodge diesels have.

[@PapaBear816]

bought one of those surprise boxes and Wanted to say thank you! Awesome stuff in it!

[@douglasfisher8665]

Bruce good try at starting this old gal, I hope you have success in part 2 want to hear it run, have you thought about having a Museum for these historical old Trucks and Tractors ? I hope someone buys that Red Kenworth complete, the thought of it being ripped apart makes me 😭

[@nlynch55]

That canister looks like a luberfiner. They were a type of auxiliary oil filter. They were pretty common back in the 70’s and maybe further back than that.

[@dudleydoright2706]

A 215 thermadine needs all injectors bled, a the top bleeder nut on the pump, then tighten each one after it starts, many of those old Mack's had 5×3 granny's, and a huge side mounted oil filter, on constructional trucks only.

[@danw1955]

Well, it now sounds like it has good compression on all six. I think if you can get that pump freed up without having to pull it, you'll have it made! Even if you have to pull it off, it should be pretty easy to get in in top shape on the bench, and she should fire right off! Can't wait for part duece!😄👍👍👍

[@darrenhawken9766]

Great work, can't wait to see the next installment 👍💨💨

[@teme82]

Frame that registration paper! And yeah nice vid as always

[@keithgordon2948]

If you remove the service panel portion of the fender (the roughly triangular portion on top) don't strip the screws. Hard to replace.

[@waynecrowder2230]

1983 i was 3 yrs old with the registration for the truck

[@95Cummins2500]

Flat screw driver in the spring. Hit the screw driver down after you soak them in PB blaster. Worked for my b model.

Forgive for scrolling quick through the vid. The actual starting appeals most. 😎

Im sure that rusty round thing hanging offf the side of the engine is a oil filter I also noticed on inside door jams is the original mack green don’t give up on that beautiful old truck if anything get it going have your fun in it and put a GMC twin turbo in the old girl what a hauler she will be then mate keep going with her she is very rare truck now i no in Grafton in Australia the same model truck is the the same original green it has a a twin turbo GMC in it it is now a tow truck i wish I brought it when I had the chance what a beautiful old truck

[@huggy1712]

Hi Bruce that old truck needs to be rebuilt if possible it would make a great project truck for young students who want to learn how to rebuild an old truck just a thought

[@4051a]

The top of the fender is removable. The big screws on the flat part come out and you can lift the top of the fender off. Try a temporary fuel supply to the pump.

[@peterjames2004]

is that thing an oil centrifuge just a guess

[@kevinjones976]

You guys are crazier than hell lol I wish I was there

I would love to get an old Mack like this and put it on a modern 1 ton dually chassis.

[@zombieautoworks5423]

Really hope you're going to restore the mack although I don't think the panelwork should be painted other than a coat of lacquer to protect it

[@ralphnorris-vk8ff]

That cover goes over the starter switch and parallel switch in the back floor between the seats.

Bruce have you ever used the Maxwell Engine Start Module? I ran one in my 2007 Freightliner Century with Cat Accert c-15. Loved it and if I ever went back over the road I would definitely buy one again.

[@hotrodZack1948]

I think that canister is an air tank for a trailer brake. Ive seen one on another type of truck mounted on the front bumper. There will be a hand brake lever that goes to it also inside the cab. I cant see it well enough in the video to say. But good on you for loosening up the pump there was no way it was gonna run like that. Also before you start it remove and blow out all the fuel lines so you dont get debris in the pump or the injectors. Also put a little diesel in a spray bottle and spray that in the intake instead of starter fluid.

[@hotrodZack1948]

Also, rebuilding those starters is super easy. Most likely just needs cleaning on the armature and some fresh brushes and oil the bearings.

[@busterevetts1864]

Another excellent video.. can't wait for part 2

subd on another video of yours, just love the older trucks with those curved bodies etc,,,, I grew up watching cannonball so maybe that's where the like of them comes. Its the simplicity i think.... the modern ones have many great features etc but the old highway haulers just seem more wholesome if ya get me... Keep up what you are doing ! edit... closest i will get to owning one is a model kit or restoring an old dinky/corgi one but i dont mind lol. I cannot help but wonder what stories they could tell ?

[@hotshothauler]

You're supposed to have the clutch pushed in the get speed and then release the clutch while in gear to get it to bump start

I'd say it has to be the air can because it has air start to turn the air starter over for the engine
